    Tommy is funny! His face was priceless when Alex started talking about keeping the walls! 🤣

    Sarah's face was funny when her husband came up with a different idea. She listen and that part I loved. Tommy of course was being his funny self.

    @ChaoticPeace357 Před 3 lety +3

    I love it so much but Sarah always does amazing design. The only thing I wish she would have added is a small powder room so you wouldn’t have to run upstairs to potty every time you had to go during a get together or movie night

  • @davisholman8149

    I love that Sarah said she doesn't design just to look pretty, she designs for life. That's my complaint about a lot of HGTV shows, I feel some of the designers just go for a high end look, but not for how people really live. Love Sarah and Tommy!

    The transformation of this house is absolutely stunning from the videos I have seen so far. Same for the other houses & rooms you have refurbished. Just saw this one & love how great the basement turned out. Especially liked the glass enclosed staircase, laundry area & foundation wall. But I would never put vinyl flooring in my house. It's bad enough I have vinyl siding & a home fire with vinyl involved spreads very quickly & is extremely toxic & deadly. It's all made of PVC, vinyl flooring too. It off-gases phthalates & chemicals constantly. It's a disaster in the landfills where burning toxic fumes harm the environment.

  • @debfarber8227
    @debfarber8227 Před 3 lety

    I love your style. My concern is that you are putting a great deal of money into a rental. We had rental properties for several years and the renters always tore up the houses. I hope you have better success than we did. Maybe a higher end property will not draw destructive. I wish you well.

  • @teresaramos1719
    @teresaramos1719 Před 3 lety +2

    Not bad ,but the house itself is Not contemporary ,but vintage,victorian and the design should have followed that thread...at least you saved the stone wall. Kudos..

    • @Happybidr
      @Happybidr Před 3 lety +1

      I hardly think that the interior of this house needs to follow some “rules’ like that. There’s no doubt this house flows well exactly how it was built and decorated. There’s not a single jarring view in the whole building.

    Am I the one who thinks that this TV series is a complete show of Sarah Richardson? Look: I married rich and my husband and I constantly buy houses around Canada and turn them into luxury homes? Aren't we just great? They talk abou budget all the time but as we all know: Richardson does not really have a budget...her father in law is former Minister of Finances and her husband is a millionaire..plus she always talks about herself and her work as amazing.. who does this? PLus I count 7 different wood colours in this basement, this is not good design.
