$6000 house in Japan: Week 8 Renovations
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 09. 2023
- The interior renovation is 90% complete and now it’s just a matter of finishing touches.
Until now, I’ve spent roughly $4000 USD on renovations. The bull of the costs have been on wood, tools, and paint.
I’ve saved a lot of money because I’m doing this work myself. My dad also came to help for the last 4 weeks and it’s made my life much easier!
I’m very happy with how this has come along within just 8 weeks and the cost of the renovations. Of course, this cost doesn’t account for the 12 hour days I’ve been putting in with not only building but sourcing, picking up, designing, and creating this space.
Loving the project!

I am Japanese.
One of the reasons this house was so cheap was that old-fashioned toilet.
Many Japanese people give up on buying one after seeing that toilet.
But you have updated the toilet.
Not only that, you have renovated the inside of your house to make it look very stylish and clean.
The fact that he was able to accomplish this in such a short period of time is an amazing feat.
I think this house is worth $20,000 on the Japanese used house market.
Thanks for the comment! It’s been a great experience and my neighborhood is very friendly and helpful :)
Very tasteful restoration !
$20k after renovation? In Los Angeles it is a $ 1 M house
@@danpan001 In Germany as well.............................................
@@Worlds_Worst_Guitarist I honestly don't known what to make of it. I spent more than $20k just remode one room. Acting as a general contractor.
I'm waiting for your neighbors to come by and ask for your guidance in fixing their homes in the area. Absolute steal of a deal.
Bro…Japanese will tell him how sugoi his house is then go home and laugh at him.
@@user-ib5mx8ro4k why though? do all Japanese still prefer traditional style houses as much as to laugh somebody off for having a different preference?
Why? It was much better before renovation.
@@aijokker are you answering to me? I asked not why they would laugh at him but rather why they would laugh at him at all. I mean it's just a taste and preference, why laugh at someone for having a different taste. Although I agree except toilet the interior of his house is terrible and I would never made any of the choices he made🙂🙂🙂

You don't ever have to feel bad about how you choose to live in your own home. Just because it is how it was done does not mean it is the best way, or the best for you. I think it is beautiful what you have done so far.
すごく良い状態の戸建を買いましたね！
通常、このような戸建はとても散らかっているのですが、あなたの家は最初から片付いていました。
リノベーションも素敵です。
Anyone commenting ignorant comments please go troll somewhere else !! This guys house is superb and Nevermind it’s $10k vested which I’ve spent n shoes in the last two years . Love your house brother , do what YOU like to it 🤙🏽
Thank you! The place is incredible and I’m still grateful :) I’ve been living there for about 10 months now and it’s all been positive
Randomly came across your video and just binged all the videos to see what you have done to the place. It is beautiful, so cozy! Always admired people like you with such talents to fix everything yourself. Congratulations on a job well done.
Thank you! Appreciate your kind words! I have enjoyed the process and have loved the house from the beginning. Only gets better as I create my own footprint :)
@@im.mattguyI definitely appreciate how you were able to open up the kitchen originally it felt closed in and cramp but you made it more open and breathable much brighter. 👍
Absolutely beautiful! I love how you incorporated western elements for your comfort while still honoring the Japanese design. Well done.
"It was too intimate for me" made me giggle. Such elegant phrasing!
I just found your channel; what a gorgeous home you have created. It is hard to believe you were able to purchase, renovate and furnish it all for such an incredible price, just beautiful!
I am glad that you kept the old toilet door for your laundry room. I remember this kind of door at my aunt house's toilet room.
$6,000! UNBELIEVABLE!
Painting the roof white, saves 80% in cooling costs if you have an AC. Smart move.
Your house looks great and I love the white walls. Even where you painted the wood trim looks good. 👍
I absolutely love the renovations. It does not look like the same house. Looks and feels like home. Simply amazing.
It's looking so good, Matt. I can't get over how much brighter it's become! You've made it such a warm, welcoming space. I love the repurposed book corner and the big chill out room, and the kitchen/dining area looks like a cosy spot to entertain friends now. Well done!
Thanks!! I like how it’s turning out. Had to take a chance with everything because it was quite different with the clutter and mix of styles. So far so good!
Wow, you did a fantastic job on your house. It looks beautiful. I love the new bathroom and comfy beds. Your family and friends are going to be so comfortable and enjoy visiting you. That was a lot of work, but the finished product was worth it. Now enjoy your life.
I've always loved everything Japanese and if I were younger I would buy that house and do exactly what you've done to it. It's lovely.
You’ve done an incredible job with this home in 8 weeks! Everything looks amazing! 🤩
white was definitely the way to go , everything just looks so nice and refreshing
great work 👍(the second guest room is my favourite , it looks so cozy)
Thank you :) I might end up changing rooms now and then hahaha
Walk in closet next to your downstairs room for the win
I love what you have done - it looks so fresh, clean and beautiful, bravo. I’m anxious to see what you’ll do to the yard at the back, that could be spectacular too.
This is your personality & who you are. Very relaxing & comfortable.
You knocked it out of the park imo. Well done!
I congratulate you on the renovation of your house. It has open spaces that do not allow one to feel cramped, it is comfortable and more elegant. The transformation using Japanese and Western concepts has made it look spectacular. Furthermore, adding the cost of the house, the renovation and the furniture you spent around $12,000.00 USD, which is a good investment. Enjoy your house 🏡 and congratulations 👏 Greetings from Puerto Rico.😊
Wow, Matt... It is very coordinated and tastefully remodeled.
Love that green color in the kitchen and green trash can.
Its so cute and welcoming. Just the right size. Im envious. Im stuck here in Philadelphia. That little space with the chair is adorable 😍. You are an amazing decorator for a strait man ♂️
I like what you did with your home. The paint and furniture. It looks so fresh and bright and cozy now. It's very nice 👌. I'm so happy 😊 for you. What a bargain.
Your house is beautiful and be proud about whatever you do and you don’t have to make an excuse to anybody. This is what you want and how you wanna live, but it looks awesome and very much to be proud of all your work and how it turned out very very comfortable and suitable for your needs.
Love the open flow.. that reading alcove is just right .. your downstairs bedroom has such space and tranquility.. Yes! For your bathrooms.. The white walls are giving a clean open feeling! The kitchen is so workable.. Noticed you have a small fridge for its saving space.. Enjoy.. Looking forward to more videos.. 👏🥰
Looking good! Would be cool to find some vintage pieces in a similar green to the kitchen cabinets to tie it into the rest of the dining/kitchen space.
Yeah like sort of mid century modern would look great
12k for all of that is amazing... you couldn't find a better deal for a house of that size anywhere else! You have sparked a need for me to follow your steps, that life seems so beautiful and peaceful. Congrats, it's an absolutely beautiful home!
Thanks so much!
It's a great fusion of both cultures. Well done. I love what you've done.
You say you aren’t a designer but you could fool me. Looks absolutely fabulous.
What a great change! Looks fresh and updated. Very welcoming home!
I really like what you did with your home.Very nice.👍
Your neighbour must treasure you there!! So innovative and humble. I am an ex-Japanese and wanting to return sometime. Your channel has been helpful and quite accurate. Congratulations!!
Wow you did an amazing job with this place for just $4000! It looks so spacious and inviting now!
Hey I recently found your renovation videos, I'm from the UK. Gotta say, love what you've done with the place! What an amazing job, well done. You have a beautiful home mate! 🎉
Wow that looks absolutely amazing. I love how you kept the sliding doors. The lighter colors really opened things up. It looks so homey. Its perfect!
IHAVE A FEELING YOU ARE A NATURAL AT RENOS & WILL CONTINUE TO DO MANY MORE OVER THE WORLD, SKIING NEW SLOPES!! HAPPENED SO QUICKLY, HAD TO HAVE HELP......JUSTREAD more..YOU EXPLAIN YOU WORKED 12 HR DAYS, YOUR AWESOME DAD HELPED FOR WEEKS. NOW I KNOW WHERE YOUR TALENT COMES FROM!! HE MUST BE PROUD OF YOU!!!GRMA NAN ❤
Great job, I love your house! It reminds me a lot of German design , I’m originally German now Canadian!Thanks for sharing!❤️
Amazing!! Congratulations on putting together a beautiful home - great transformation! Just curious to see if any of your neighbors asked to see the inside of the house.
Love the light you give to the place peinting in white look clean and fresh
Fabulous! Your home is so comfortable and relaxing. Thank you for sharing your efforts and hard work with us.
No matter what i love how you redid it to your liking❤😊 great job
Just incredible. I spent 3 months on a ski scolarship in Gunma ken 40 years ago and have never been back to Japan since (even though I have promised myself every year I would return, life got in the way!). I would love to visit your beautiful home and be hosted by you for a ski tour of the area, hopefully I can make that happen (as I am currently spending around $100k for a similar reno of my own home in New Zealand!) We would never get sign off if having done any electrics or plumbing without necessary consents and permitted workmen). Your place looks truly amazing, keeping a very traditional Japanese vibe with western comforts (I slept on futon for my 3 month exchange and never did get a great night sleep!).
I just love the way you fix everything super impressed
What a Gem ,love it , you did a fantastic job with the interior .
Hi Matt, what a wonderfully tasteful renovation. I would be more than happy to live in such a place.
Well done on such an effort and result in just 8 weeks !
Amazing 🤩 You got a great deal on that house and love the little changes ❤️
What a win. Even as your holiday home it’s a win but if it’s actual home, great!!
You've done really well renovating the house. The new paint makes the house look brighter.
Thanks! I did like the older style but yes, needed to make it feel brighter, cleaner, and comfortable :)
I'm from USA. Ur place is amazing. A combination of both Japanese and Western. I hope that you will show us where you grocery shop and what daily living is like there.
Beautiful renovation. Great lights everywhere and every room is cozy and welcoming. I wish you all the best!
Good god that is incredible value...
Turns my stomach thinking how much money I buried into my house 🤢
No joke. Here in Florida, you wouldn't get a small garden shed for that amount.
@@Bess9779 Quite literally.
Lovely home, simple and what a steal. I would go for something like this as a holiday destination.
Nicely done Matt! I am sure you have great memories there! A cool project to do - as a coffee table book is a picture book of how the house was when you purchased it. Before and after pictures. 😊
Awesome idea! Taking note :)
Hats off to you, you have done well. I saw the first video and thought WTF you thinking but I see has turned out well. Enjoy
LOVING the reading nook!
This is beautiful. I wish I could do something like this but in a warmer climate. I love the house and its surroundings.
Just found your Channel and binged all your episodes of your house renovation... great work matt ! The house looks amazing.
This is your house to do with what you like. That said, here are some of my fave features in your home...
The rack for snowboards (I'm partial as a snowboarder since 1997)
The cedar door that has the wood lock on the inside. The craftsmanship on that door is beautiful and elegantly simple.
That carmel leather bench seating in the kitchen/dining area. Gorgeous in it's elegant simplicity.
The way you updated the bathroom. Sleek, simple, functional, more modern. The cedar & stone touches were the icing on the cake.
Love the clean but cozy furnishings of the guest rooms. I do hope none of your guest accidentally kick the metal bed frames around the bases of the bed as that is so unbelievably painful (especially if they are there to ski/snowboard).
The sitting room for each guest bedroom is very thoughtful & guests will appreciate a private lounge space.
Love that you chose NOT to pain the gorgeous wood ceilings & left the original doors.
The white paint on the walls certainly brightened up the place tremendously & gives a clean aesthetic.
The lacquer you added was subtle and it looks natural and beautiful.
Did you do all these renovations yourself???
I just found your video and I love how you transformed your home. I did see the first video when you purchased it. Enjoy it!!!
It looks beautiful Matt! I love it. Watching your video on this from year ago and it made me want to get on a plane and mover over. I live on east coast USA and have ordered a shikibuton set. I love everything Japanese and love Japanese culture. Thank you for these great videos. I would be totally comfortable in the house and what you have done!
Absolutely wonderful! you made a great job. Artistic and comfortable. Japanese and yet it is your style. Love the slide doors and the white painting plus the kitchen and the mountains on the wall :)
Thank you so much!
Lovely job!! So light and bright and a wonderful aesthetic. Nice work!!
I love goggling & learning how to do different things. ❤
I really like the renovations on the guest rooms, they both look cozy. Good job 👍
They’re so great I sleep there too hahaha
The end result looks amazing! Just the right amount of keeping the old and refreshing it with something new.
Very clean looking and cozy.
I am beyond impressed to how that house looks now and how it looked when you walk through the door. Very well done.
Wow! I really like what you’ve done to the house. Perfect compromise with updating to a modern feel while keeping original Japanese features. Kudos to you!
Your camera and audio has made just as much of an improvement since day 1!
You did a great job. Your house is very beautiful. You should be so proud.
Great job. I wasn't liking all the wood color but what a difference with walls in white. Great job!
OMG I thought when you said "I'm NOT Japanese and I want to use it to chill out!" and I thought you've got a million other places to chill out and oh nooooo he is going to change everything BUT you did a good job I must say especially bedrooms...very nice! :))
Beautiful kitchen. Couldnt imagine how you'd beautify it, but you managed to do it! Congrats
The stainless steel bathtub is awesome. Look into using Resin for the grout and the rocks, so you get the best of the look and its waterproof. Super easy to mix and apply. Japanese toilets are magic. Good job on the swap.
Thanks for the tip!
This is great. Congratulations and well done! I agree with all the decisions you made. Not a fan of that glass table, but I understand why you chose it. Curious to see your plans for the garden and shed next. Also curious about your winter heating situation.
Thanks! Probably leave the shed and garden for next season. Winter heating will be city gas. I have quite a few gas outlets around the house and I’ve been told by the neighbours that it’s the most cost efficient:)
Really enjoying Matt s videos. He is so calm, love his soothing voice, where is your accent from. I thought Australian but I can hear something else. I m new to this channel and look forward to working through the videos from the past 6 mths or so.
Wow man that place looks awesome I could live there.
Amazing job, mate! Hope it brings you lots of joy!
Congrats. I wish there was a house here in Florida with the same size and the same price as yours that i can buy. For me, your house is just the right size for me.😊
Just happened on your video after you purchased this amazing home. I'm so happy with the bits you kept original. It's lovely and I'd love to live there myself, just perfection. I'd be more than thrilled to call this home permanently. This is just a dream! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Very nicely renovated
You've done an amazing job on this renovation. The house is beautiful, bright and welcoming.
Looks amazing. You've done a great job. I'm jealous. The UK has really gone down the drain. I'd love to do something similar.
Great work on your house. I like the Chalet/Japenes modern vibe. Well done:)
Well done, this is awesome what you have done with your house.
Im kind of sad that you didnt make some kind of desk- (working)room. I think you know best what kind of purpose your house should have, but just for me i think a desk/working room is key. Overall its still such a nice Renovation / Makeover you did here❤❤❤
I think you have done a marvelous job on the renovation. The house needs to feel like your home so change as needed to get that feeling.
Your home is beautiful and peaceful! Please add some decent bedside lighting, and a lamp in sitting room for those who like to read. You’ve done such a good job!💛
love what you have done. The house looks amazing and a mix of traditional Japanese and your own style.
Love your remodeling ... feels homey with style. Am looking forward to catching up with your other video about finding the house. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
After seeing the first video after purchase I was afraid you'd ruin the house. Nothing to worry about any longer. Stellar job!
Beautiful renovations
Looks great!! ❤
From Chile
Congratulations
Beautiful job
Again...looks very clean and beautiful...😮❤
Beautiful home and updates. Love the sliding doors and the designs on them.
It turned out very beautyful, I love your style 🙂
