    This is the loveliest garden I have seen on Unsellables. Just delightful, and the indoor rainforest was gorgeous (even if it was a distraction to buyers.)

      I so agree! I found those plants and the light in that kitchen very appealing!

    Maybe I'm weird, but I like the plants in the kitchen. Made it look homey.

      Yes, it was very homey/ homely, I think I see the show as much to see how other people live, I love cosy, lived in homes, the transformations are a fun surprise, but very mainstream, hotel like.

    I didn’t like the comparable house. I liked their house. Loved the plants in the kitchen and the gardens are beautiful. A few changes inside and it looks amazing.

    • @AlexS-oj8qf
      @AlexS-oj8qf 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That's literally the point she's trying to make. How's less attractive house sells quickly than their house. Because it appeals to the market.

  • @catlover47842

    I absolutely loved the plants in the kitchen and I would have put them back in - it connected the garden to the house and made the kitchen look fresh and gave it a bit of a wow factor

    Slightly quirky home but l appreciate quirky! I'm surprised Sophie didn't replace the gray flooring. This house could sell on the beautiful, lush yards alone! Hopefully the new owner's thumb was as green as Robert's.

    Love the "after" living room and bedroom. Kitchen definitely better but I think they should have left a few plants. I don't care for the dividing wall. I liked the glass blocks better if there had to be a wall at all.

    • @yesiownfrodo
      @yesiownfrodo หลายเดือนก่อน

      I understand that they needed something because there are stairs that go down to the basement, But I think building it in and adding a door down would have been much better. And agree with you, get rid of the pony wall. That's horrid.

    I think one of the reasons it’s not selling is because of curb appeal. The facade & frontyard needed some work as well.

  • @rarespiritwendy
    @rarespiritwendy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Not understanding why the two 1/2 walls weren’t removed. I take that back..the one 1/2 wall by the stairs needed to stay…otherwise, someone could tumble down. Can the bi-fold bathroom door be locked?

    • @peggypeggy4137
      @peggypeggy4137 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't think that the bi-fold doors can be locked but I'm not 100% sure about that. I would have wanted those half walls to be something that you could at least, see through. You are right...the one half wall could go. What an awkward place to put that staircase leading down to the basement. lol

  • @lisakilmer2667
    @lisakilmer2667 3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I like this episode because the first comparable house was really unattractive, with ugly furniture and a terrible kitchen, but it showed that emptying everything out works. Once the couple de-cluttered, it's cute and sold fast. The only thing is, I think clearing it out showed how much work it needs. All the gaps between paneling and floor boards are really bad, and the kitchen needed an island rather than a 1-person table.

    • @yesiownfrodo

      absolutely right!

  • @wilmacguzman4405
    @wilmacguzman4405 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Could have reused glass blocks on top of partial wall by entrance wall. Amazing how a few small jobs can make such a difference. Keep more plants. Most selling homes need to rent storage unit for taking out one third of their furniture and objects.

  • @lindak8664

    When decorating an office, never have your back to the door.
    Sounds silly but goes back to our primal instincts.
    We need to see who is coming up behind us otherwise we feel constantly on edge.
    Side on to a door is ok but facing the door is best as your back is covered by the wall.

    Everyones taste is different but I think the upgrade would appeal to more people. Too many knickknacks is never a good idea when you're selling a home.
    I like what they did to it in the end except that flimsy table and chairs in the kitchen.

    I love the shows like this, we have something comparable here in France. What I like about your houses are the colour of the walls : beige/brown with white trimming around the white doors. What I don't like are the sometimes heavy and almost always very dark furniture. If a house is updated here, the walls are painted white with one wall in a darker colour, like blue/green or terracotta or a wallpaper that represents a forest (in black and white that takes up the whole wall). The floors are darker, mostly tiles or vinyl, trompe l'oeil wooden floors.The furniture is mostly white with a light coloured wooden top (table legs white with a light wooden top, kitchen cabinets often white with a "concrete" or wooden top) Ikea style or in all shades of grey. Accessories are in pastel colours. What is used here often to separate the hallway from the living area is a "claustra". I love them : they are cheap to install and they don't take the light away.

      If there is no half wall on the entrance, it would be awkward to see because the flooring is not the same. It divided the floors accordingly.

    $370 thousand for this place? The housing market is totally out of control and totally unreachable for all but the 'luxury' market. So how do young families find the means to afford such an overrated/overpriced home? Really!!! What it the true VALUE of this piece of property blown way beyond reality. Greed seems to be a major factor....I'd bet much of it depends on the realtors' desire to benefit from such outrageous costs. Totally out of control... F.
