- Emily and Jason have to sell their two-storey, three-bedroom house before they can make an offer on their dream home. But after three months and a hundred showings, they haven’t received a single bite. Sofie loves the home’s period details and proportions…But says in a buyers’ market, the average interiors, gloomy atmosphere, and student vibe just don’t cut it.
In order to stand out from the crowd, Sofie comes up with a $4,100 to transform the home from drab to dynamic. And as Anthony and the team tackle the unsexy master bedroom, refresh the kitchen, and revive some flea market furniture, Sofie gives the couple valuable property insight, and renewed hope that they will finally move on.

#Unsellables
That Anthony Sayers represents tradesmen well by articulating changes and repairs done in this home. He is actually becoming my favorite feature in this show, but wait, Sofie is still amazing!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If you like MDF and butcher block. They're not exactly using quality materials in any of their houses. I feel sorry for buyers who start noticing all the cheap shortcuts once they've moved into a house. Like OMG, it will take me years to get that tacky paint off the chestnut woodwork. Those two are a nightmare in Craftsman houses.
He sounds illiterate!
This couple is so adorable and their son is PRECIOUS!!! Wishing them the best!
Sophie and Anthony have great chemistry together!
Oh my gosh, painting that beautiful wood white makes me want to cry. They didn’t remodel, they remuddled
I agree with you Cranky Grandma. Leave the wood alone.
I was just saying that she apparently has an issue with natural wood. Its horrible what they do in this show to wood.
Having a movable island cart would have been so much better than that ugly "breakfast bar." You could move it closer to the sink & stove when cooking then push it against the opposite wall when not needed. Cabinet space underneath the island cart would provide much needed storage.
Agreed --- the kitchen was not appealing and the breakfast bar ugly.
@@Lilactime402 I thought the same thing!
The breakfast bar could’ve been twice the width for more practicality.
Let the woodwork alone, don't mess up the feel of the house. Just paint the walls off white.
Agree! It's just Sophie is so destructive. Beautiful wood. You paint cheap mdf not beautiful historic character wood original to the house.
Some of the wood was already painted or didn’t match
They're very tidy! That always makes things easier.
I'm always surprised how little imagine people have when it comes to decorating a home
Or that they are confused when it doesn’t sell in a competitive market!
Season 1's format was the best. I miss this show!!! Come back Sofie and Anthony!! But continue to do the show in Canada, please! I miss this show!!
I'm going to make a crazy guess that little Miss Sofie has never seen a craftsman style home before.It will take lots of money to restore it back to what it would have looked like when it was built. I just restored a 1922 Craftsman it was a lot of work and money. Why do these people want to undo all that great wood work and part of history ?
Most people are "mass" - in other words, they have little to know taste and little to know idea of what a Craftsman (Arts & Crafts) building actually is. Brett Waterman has had some good shows on - one was called "Restored" on HGTV (or maybe it was DIY) and he painstakingly strips off layers of paint to get down to original woodwork and tile. It drives me INSANE when people paint brick!
It's insane, beautiful woodwork painted, sophie has just no clue of traditional beauty. Congrats on your restoration.
I was so relieved they didn't slap white paint on that fireplace.....but they ruined those beautiful, original french doors imo.
Sophie was targeted young people with this redo. Usually, they aren't interested in styles of homes from different time periods.
@@smalltowngirl4766 She should have considered that bungalow enthusiasts would have swooned to see all that unpainted woodwork. "Modern" only applies for about ten minutes in today's world. Classic good taste never goes out of style.
An intelligent buyer could have bought this house for several tens of thousands under listing price and then invested those 5k themselves.
Teddy 97 Sure, but the homeowners would have to agree to that, lol. You can't kill the homeowners and just take the house, sweetie.
True. On all these showd they say things like "six open houses, 100 people walked through, and not one offer!" Never does anyone offer less than the offering price.
I loved this house. Their cheap reno with crappy materials, while they painted over all that classic woodwork, made me sick. They shouldn't be allowed inside an Arts and Crafts bungalow. Sofie might "love the period details," but only so she can cover them up with sloppy paint and Anthony's MDF wood projects.
@@lesliecas2695 Maybe it's different where you are, but I paid the asking price for my first house and sold it 7 years later for almost exactly double that. My second house was listed at $210,000 and I got it at $163,500 by negotiating back and forth, offering $150,000 originally. My present house I bought 5 acres for $55,000 and had a custom house built for $170,000 (all cash). I added about $20,000 since. I'd be real lucky to sell it for $200,000; that's quite a loss, particularly when you add in realtors fees and other costs of selling, not to mention moving costs. It all depends on the current local market conditions, interest rates and cost of building materials.
@@virginiamoss7045 Were you on the show "Unsellables"? I was referring to what happens on this show, episode after episode.
Painting the plate rail in the dining room the same color as the wall, was a criminal act! They should have added more storage in the kitchen as well as the bar. It is a lovely home though.
Sophie has a bad habit of painting beautiful woodwork, I would not have let her paint. Not everything needs to be"white" it's insane.
I was looking at that house the first thing I would think is how can I rip out that ugly breakfast bar?
And that beautiful mid-century modern dresser in the bedroom! They painted it completely white! I could forgive painting a bit of it white, to make the gorgeous details stand out, but they spray-painted the whole thing white! I felt like crying lol. I've been trying to get a dresser like that, in good condition, for years.
As a potential buyer I'd rather have the former owner invest money into the kitchen, garden area or utility systems than into furniture to 'make it look nice' since they're taking those with them anyways. And as a seller I'd expect a potential buyer to be able to look past wall paint and beige sheets since those are things that don't affect the value of the house or the things the buyer can do with it in any way.
+Teddy 97 I like the way you think, Teddy! I wish you had a TV program like this one, instead of tasteless idiots like Allsopp, who thinks the answer to every seller's problem is painting all the wood in their home a tacky white. I swear this woman has destroyed more homes than the Germans did in WWII!
When I saw the kitchen, the first thing I thought was, "Well, gotta rip THAT out." Needs cabinets and countertops for me.
@@shirleypena4133 IKR? :) When I was shopping for a house, I was particularly looking for stained wood period details :) If there is an insatiable desire for white, then walls can be painted that :) No need to ruin the lovely wood.
Sadly, way too many people lack imagination. I bought a house that was filthy, needed new kitchen and bathroom floors, interior paint, landscaping, window coverings, etc. No one else wanted it, it was so awful. Had a little work done, did a lot myself over about 4 years, and made a lot of money on it. Also bought another house no one wanted because the outside was some weird, beat up blue painted product, the inside was so depressingly drab, dated, and unappealing and the owners left the heat on at about 40 during a cold winter while they were at work and the house was being shown. I got it at a good price when housing costs were very high, spent a few thousand on it in the 12 years I lived there and while I didn’t make much money on it because I sold it during the recession, I wasn’t under water like some I knew, and did ok. There are shows where people buy dumps and fix them up themselves, but this show is needed because there are tons of people out there who don’t have the slightest bit of savvy or imagination when it comes to much of anything, including houses. But, hey, why complain? It benefits people like you and me.
It wouldn't be Unsellables if a something didn't get painted khaki green. 🙊
How is a 6 inch wide ledge “prep space”? It might have been useful if it was wider.
I was thinking it wasn't deep enough
My thought exactly. Doesn’t look deep enough to hold a plate let alone be prep, prep, prep space. And the 50s chrome is totally out of period of the home. They sure do love having the breakfast bar facing a wall thing.
@@julieh.9826 They could have put an outlet there and made it a coffee or tea bar and put a bistro set next to it. I would make it shorter wider and lower though.
They do that a lot and call it an eat in kitchen. Just what I want to do stare at a wall while eating.
I know right ,thinking what you all said ,I thought he was going to make a 2 or 3 seater bar coming out of the wall
dear god..never paint the woodwork..looks like chestnut to boot.....rip it out and put fake up and store if you must....this house is a keeper
ugh...beautiful dining set would have been classy with stained woodwork...love your videos but this house was a rape
I love it the way it is with the wood.
Anthony should wear a cape.
The wife has a really cool personality. And, I think their baby is cute. In the kitchen though, I would have opted for a base cabinet and counter top vs the snack bar. I like lots of work space.
for 255 I get a whole kitchen cabinets from IKEA, not a piece of wood!!!!
at least they have this video to document and show what you can turn it back into...
I'd have made the kitchen snack-bar deeper. As it is, I have no idea what you could prep on a surface that narrow. Looks like a bookshelf.
+cathy larson I totally agree, Cathy!! Not only was the black laminate a terrible choice of materials and colour for this Period home, but the shelf Anthony has built is so damn narrow that I haven't a clue what the hell it's good for. About the only things that Allsopp did that I thought improved the look of this home was buying the antique sideboard and chairs for the dining room, buying a headboard for the couple's bed and restoring the Period look of the window trim (where the couple replaced one of the home's original windows).
Also did you notice the metal edges on that black laminate shelf in the kitchen you could cut a huge gash on your arm with that
The snack-bar in the kitchen reminds me of a 1950's diner with the black laminate and metal trim. It does not go with the rest of the house.
It's much too small to use, or even sit at to eat. Anyone with long legs would wind up sitting two feet away from the bar, which would barely hold a plate. And those stools look like she picked them up from someone's garbage. TACKY. I wish she would stop saying "period charm," when she doesn't have a clue.
They should call this show "Clueless Sellers" I would have to have more cabinets, even if it meant some under the breakfast bar and a custom made pantry where the spoon and fork are hanging (those are such a huge waste of space in this small kitchen.
I am so put off by dark wood. If I see any of it, even on furniture, I run a mile in the opposite direction. Looks so depressing to me...
Agree
Leave the wood trim alone why do Pple paint then I never know just pant walls a light color
Really liked this family. Lovely home. X
I wish Sophie would come and "fix" my house...I love everything she and her team do to these houses!
What a cute couple. She's adorable.
The paint on the woodwork was just wrong! So many other ways to lighten up the space without killing that beautiful craftsmanship! The kitchen eating area and red stools looked like a 50's kitchen gone bad! Why not a cool island with seating on each end? It could go up against the wall for light meals- then be rolled closer to the sink for real Prep space!!!
Completely agree. Any buyer who wants character will run, they've ruined the beautiful original wood.
Agree. Lightening the wall color would have been enough.
gosh Sofie is super gorgeous. ugh. I'm so jealous.
She is pretty, looks a lot like Monica Lewinsky.
Just have two pounds of makeup applied by a professional, and dye your hair; if you're anywhere near her build, you'd probably look a lot like her.
Everyone in this series seems to have the same brown "leather" orttoman
I had the same one years ago lol Target for about $30
That was my first thought also.
That was the trend 4/5 years ago.
They re-use their styling props, including the pictures. The dining room table is getting old. In the British version, the sister loves to use the same turquoise pillows and framed wallpaper scraps in all the house, regardless of period.
Army green paint in the master bedroom? How is that neutral?
Wow! Beautiful. Living and dinning room so nice but I was hoping for more shelves, cabinets and work space in the kitchen.
I love Anthony! ❤️
“How do you feel about painting some of the woodwork?”
Me screaming at the screen: NOOOOOOO!
The house looked like a funeral home. I'm was rooting for all of that hideous brown to be painted over.
Lovely family.
Why can't a buyer vision the finished product themselves? Not only do we have cookie cutter exteriors now the insides are the same. Imagination people, we've had it since grade school.
Actually, I've been using my imagination since I was around 3 years old.
the wife seemed sweet, humble and meek. afterwards looked great!
Yes, just like a good subserviant christian woman.
+Queen Crusader The impression I got from the wife is that she is rail thin, bone tired and disappointed that after all this time in a house that they clearly spent every dime they had between the two of them to buy, they were unable to afford a single piece of decent furniture (not even from local garage sales)nor a single new appliance. Look at the wife cast a knowing look at her husband every single time the host talked about how shabby their furniture looked, and how the wife enthusiastically chirps "I AGREE!" while her husband looks almost embarrassed and remains quiet. I cannot fathom why they are planning to produce MORE children right away when they clearly cannot afford the child they already have. :/
I don't think she's meek
I love this house! I just wish the breakfast bar was wider. It's not usable because it's too narrow.
Shouldn't have bothered with the breakfast bar. Any buyer is going to combine the kitchen and dining room into a much bigger space.
Oh yeah and what is with her painting original gorgeous wood work? Drives me nuts!
I am currently looking for a house that hasn’t had the kitchen or bathroom “modernized”... although I like some of the ideas Sophie has, leave the period charm alone please...
I just moved into my first house a couple years ago. It was stuck in the 50's and you can tell the kitchen was hand built (stained over the pencil lines). It came as is but the important things were new, roof and furnace. Its been great over the past couple years to update and make this house my own. Still haven't gotten to update the kitchen yet.
That big knife and fork! LOL every house in our subdivision but ours seemed to have those in '72.
Who wants to eat looking at a wall.and not big enough for "prep" space😂
That kitchen needs more storage space. I would have put a full cupboard (maybe wth glass) and counter below with cupboards, maybe leaving a section for seating/bar... I used to hate painting over the woodwork, but I get it now....👍🏻
Now, here's a room with the walls of green. Let's she if she paints
over it???
It's funny, to my Yurpean eye this house has masses of room for 2 adults and 2 kids, at least when they're under 10 :D 3 bedrooms plus 3 reception rooms, one they admit they don't even use, how many more rooms do they need?
Most people around here, where her house was, would also think that was plenty of space, mom looked shell shocked / depressed throughout this show. There is sooo much free stuff, thrift stores, yard sales as well as regular stores in this city there was absolutely no need for the house to look so abandoned. Some people also have a belief that the city is a “bad” place for kids.
They may have wanted more bedrooms and baths.
@@jwilliams8931: I stayed with my sister who lives in Pickering and a niece took me to Danforth. It seemed like a delightful town. The old trams had yet to be replaced by the new ones I saw downtown.
House looks spectacular with simple changes wow well done....
Here in italy houses simply don't sell, BUT if and when they do ...it is if you go down a lot below the asking price, having said that I find it really funny when people are worried because their house has been on the market for months without selling .... here we talk about years!!!! Anyway, it might be true that a non-welcoming house might not be everybody's cup of tea but ...COME ON,the buyer is oing to buy the house, not the furniture in it, you don't need that much of imagination to picture your furniture in it. If nobody can then I must be a genius ;-) And painting wood is a SIN!!! As much as putting MDF on a wooden table. What's wrong with these people??? Sophie's big sister should step in and give a couple of lessons to her younger one!!
Why do houses not sell in Italy?
@@Jane5720 when I bought my house 10 years ago in Germany nobody wanted to buy houses. It was in the middle of an economic crisis. Now all is overpriced - or in an area where no jobs are.
It sure would be fun to have an update episode on all of the sellers.
Can't watch these anymore. She consistently paints over beautiful woodwork.
I like the living room, a little more pop on the wall beside the fireplace, would have made it stand out more, maybe a small mirrors with little mirrors coming off it, for a wow factor, love the dining room, kitchens okay, would have like to see a coffee bar, built in hutch with prep space, looks sparse, master bedroom nice, maybe a floor plant in the 1 corner that's bare..
Terrible dealbreaker that useless laminate shelf in the kitchen are you kidding me?
As is the utterly useless blackboard mounted over it.
I would buy this house. Personally, I don't like a lot of dark wood. It makes the home feel heavier and look smaller.
I would have bought it too as I can see through other people's questionable decorating choices. However, a lot of people either have no vision or want someone else to do the work for them.
I hate it when you paint original woodwork.
Thank you. When I realize the home has original woodwork, I check the comments. If they say it was painted, I stop watching.
I've helped friends STRIP and RESTORE woodwork so many times. If you don't like it, number the boards, pull off the woodwork and store it in the basement.
AHHAHAH I'm going to take it as a suggestion and do the same!!
It's all a matter of what is "trending" at the time. There have been many cycles where naturally finished woodwork and original narrow plank wood floors was all the rage, then it was paint it all over and rip out perfectly good but old flooring for fake wide plank laminate! And then the cycle swung back again. These days, it seems to be more of a balance. Watching shows like Property Brothers where they're working in present time (these most of these Unsellable episodes are 10 years old and more) I think gives people a false idea of what most home buyers really want. If you're looking for a period home, you don't want painted woodwork and uber-modern interiors with every last bit of original character stripped out! Unfortunately, not many homeowners push back against people like the Scott brothers, they're too intimidated.
I do too, that is part of the original charm of the house.
They only have houses on the show that a picture perfect except for wall colours and decor (things that should be competely irrelevant for buyers but apparently aren't due to people's stupidity). I wanna see them turning a run down tiny home into a sellable object.
They really do fairly modest makeovers to get ready for sale, not remodels. They only spend about $5000. That is what this show is about. If you don’t like the format there are those that do the whole big remodel.
Luv this 😍
Buing a house is not about the furniture of the seller. I don´t get it!!! ???
A lot of people lack any imagination and of a place is drab or dirty can’t imagine themselves there.
I agree, Joy. The possessions of a seller would have zero meaning to me. I would be in the house with a measuring tape, figuring out if my stuff could fit in each of the rooms. And in my head, assessing which walls I would hang each piece of art that I own.
If your house is so crammed with crap you can’t even see the condition of the house, it’s scary to put in an offer. Also if the house looks completely unloved, it set off internal alarm bells because it suggests no proper maintenance on the house was preformed. Like it could potentially be full of rats, bed bugs, cockroaches who knows what. I know I’ve walked away from really terrible diy as well, you have no idea what it’s concealing.
Hate the colour scheme in the master bedroom
Their little round table and chairs was a far better solution in the kitchen! What he did was pointless.
"Relatively affordable prices?" HA ha ha ha!!! If that house is selling for a whooping $449,000 then it's hardly what most people here in the USA would call relatively affordable...unless they live in New York City, Southern California or the pricey parts of Northern California. That's a mighty expensive house, IMHO. Sadly, now that Sofie Allsopp (AKA "The White Paint Queen") has gotten her tasteless claws into it, much of its original beauty is now marred. By the way Sofie, most architects would be quick to tell you that removing interior doors-especially on a Period home like the one you got your tasteless claws into here-not only destroys the home's original beauty, but also reduces its market worth and-even worse-makes the home a lot less energy efficient too. Furthermore, many potential home buyers DO NOT want to take on the added expense and time needed to re-install the original doors once you are stupid enough to remove them prior to the home's sale. For many savvy potential home buyers it's a deal breaker, unless the home's current owners are willing to fork out the money to re-install the doors themselves, and this couple don't seem to have a dime between them.
I think this house is in Toronto, Ontario. So that price would be relatively affordable. & in Canadian dollars. (Unless it's in Seattle).
It doesn’t take any money to screw the doors back one... all you need is a screwdriver and a few hours... this is in Toronto Canada... so it’s Canadian dollars... and Toronto is very expensive,., these were the costs back in 2009...imagine what they are like today! I was a big fan of the show... it’s fun to watch them all over again..I don’t always agree with everything they do... like the breakfast bar... I would make wider, and add some cabinets above it as well as a pantry next to it where the big fork and spoon were hanging... some people like painted wood and some don’t...
16:49 I would have put more kitchen bench & cupboards where those red stools are.
I had no idea homes in Canada were so incredibly expensive!!! And small! I about die when you say "spacious" and the whole house is maybe 1900 sqft. And at nearly a half million dollars??? Here, you can buy a 3600 sqft home on five gorgeous acres for that price.
Of course, but you could also buy a small mansion in the burbs here for less. Just saying, markets are VASTLY different in different regions and I didn't realize Canada was like LA prices!
Where do you live April Little?
Texas!
I wonder if it’s Canadian dollars? That would account for some of it but also is this Toronto? If so that would make sense pricewise.
@@Lisa-ym1si yes it’s Toronto and the price of this house has probably tripled since this show aired. I don’t know what people expect, there’s limited areas for homes and living downtown is something you pay for.
The host actually said, "I don't mean to sound rude."
They spend way too much time showing neighborhood houses
No disrespect but $1.8 million or above in the San Francisco Bay area in California
$450k is "relatively affordable"?
That depends on what part of the USA you live in.
Right? My home has less than a thousand square feet, 2 bedrooms & 1 office. I call it "The Shoebox." It cost me $125,000 twenty years ago. I feel SO fortunate to have it and for the Midwestern town I live in, it was a fair price. I could never afford to move back East where I was raised.
These aren’t even current prices, a house of this size, location and quality is prob. close to 1.5-2 million now
Terrible to paint the woodwork. Add work space in the kitchen. Forget a breakfast bar use the dining room table for all meals. Stage with some nice furniture to get a fresh look.
Tell me about it. The previous owners have painted all the wooden floors so dark it's almost black. It's been a bugger to sand back to its georgeous colour
It's a shame to paint over the quarter sawn period oak. This type of wood is expensive. I had custom made Craftsman style quarter sawn oak cabinets for my new kitchen and they're absolutely beautiful. The cabinets have a lighter finish and they aren't at all oppressive.
I was sick when the new owners of our previous house painted our beautiful 3/4" thick solid hickory kitchen cabinets. The house was a classic Cape Cod style and they put contemporary furniture in it. All of the walls were white and they had pale grey furniture. They took out the island. I had sensory deprivation when I was in it and couldn't wait to get back outside.
Some people have zero appreciation for good quality materials.
Why do they talk about making things appealing for a wide market and paint so many of the master bedrooms green??? LOL, I enjoy so much about this show but that just gets me. We'd have been painting before even moving in with that color.
These shows are quite old and I suspect that shade of green was the must have then, just like grey became the go to colour in later years.
What happens to the furniture and bedding, etc. after the house sells?
According to a recent article online about all the house shows, past and present, all of that is just rented, so it goes back to the rental places. If it's the homeowner's actual furniture, they just take it with them.
They use the same new lighting fixtures in several houses
its a beutiful house , thay will make it look like a down town penthouse
I can't believe they didnt see the flaws themselves
When you have a big house with rooms u don’t use, but you want a bigger one because you don’t have enough space…. So maybe have one living room instead of two and repurpose the other one as a bedroom??
It honestly doesn’t look amazing but I don’t see why it didn’t sell. It’s really clean and the colors are fine. Sure it’s not decorated a ton but it seems like a sellable house. I wonder why it really wasn’t selling. 😮
A huge improvement except for the kitchen.
The kitchen should have been left alone. The new owners almost certainly ripped it out and joined it to the dining room.
Wood. It's a Caftsman. What did she expect? 🤨
Painting the plate rail is criminal in my opinion. Getting rid of the original natural wood is horrible. Paint on what was beautiful wood just ruined that home. Paint the walls a off white.
I can't believe that in the "model" home Sophie shows, the sink is located UNDER A CABINET! Wash your dishes and hurt your face all at the same time??? What were they thinking?..
I think the new floating shelf is too small for eating on!
Even if the new kitchen built in was big enough I still don't want to stare at a wall and can't relax to eat in
If it's young people they have their phones' in front of their faces while eating! Lol
Kitchen is horrible, that tiny eating ledge is awful and impractical
WHERE WHERE WHERE is this house? A gentrified neighborhood...WHERE? Why is it always like pulling teeth with this show to find out WHERE they are?
Would it be possible to give the wall color names or numbers? Brand not so important, I’ll figure it out
9:54 is cringe worthy :(
Right away I knew, I feared, she would paint Craftsman wood. Then she did; my heart hurts. How dare she! It's a crime! I understand why she did it, but the wall cabinet and lower molding could have been left alone.
The only taste Sofie has in in her mouth. She paints woodwork and antique furniture without a care, and loves Dollar Store accessories. She ruined this house.
I can't believe how many people are upset about the ugly dark wood trim being painted. I wouldn't be able to look at that ugly dark wood daily original or not.
They didn't paint over enough of it. 😂
For that kind of money they could get a 5 bedroom 4 bath near deep water here in Richmond Hill GA....
Horrible that shelf to eat on in the kitchen, covered by sharp metal. I can just imagine gashing my arm on the corner of that with the sharp metal edge
The result is actually ugly, the house had so much potential! Bring Kirsty Allsop she will do better!!!
+Supergirl1978 I will bet that Kirsty Allsopp certainly could do no worse than her sister routinely does on her home "remakes."
How rude.
What a beautiful house. I bet she ruins it by painting woodwork.
Breakfast bar is absurdly narrow. Sit facing wall 12" away... L.ol. Cabinets & standard height 36" counter top, maybe butcher block, would've been more practical & look better than a narrow board on the wall.
The sold house looks drab.
What country is this?
Green in master is hideous
I wonder if sophie has a deal on green and grey color since that's all she uses. Stupid.
These designers obviously don't actually "work" in a kitchen or they would know that the snack bar is completely useless as "prep space". Using 12" upper cabinets on top and below for storage would have been more useful and a narrow, rectangular table at the other end for eating. The snack bar looks silly.
Absolutely disgusted that they painted the woodwork. Were I looking to buy, my offer would be $5,000 lower to reflect the work needed to restore it. There are better ways to brighten a room. Why keep talking about original features in this beautiful Craftsman house and then work to hide some of them? It makes no sense.
'Were I looking to buy, my offer would be $5,000 lower to reflect the work needed ...'. The house needed work that others were not prepared to do, hence no sale. I like renovations and would have made a lot of changes to that little house. All the funeral home brown would have been painted over.
Please, pleeeaase don’t paint the woo…ah their painting the wood 😒😂
Seems pretty obvious the carpenter never rolled out cookie dough, or made noodles. That little shelf might be ok for a row of party buffet dishes. It won't hold a child's lunch. New owners will take that out right away. Counter top is cheap enough at the hardware stores and could match the other counter at least in color. Trim 23 inches from the back to keep the rounded edge. Narrower than that is not even decorative. 100 years of glorious wood painted!!! That was painful to see. There's no restoring that. Best advise on the program: open the drapes, match the woodwork on new windows.
The cover on the sofa looked horrible the red stools in the kitchen also. The only room that looked good was the bedroom.
I was thinking about how you remind me of me. Leaning on the wall. A fellow teacher got mad at me. She said my oil on my hands wasn’t good for the paint on the wall. Then I learned why I do that. I found out that I have hyper flexible joints which fatigue easily. It is called Ehlers Danlos.
You couldn’t wear compression socks because you dress so fancy but I recommend them. When I wear them I have better stamina.
The thing you could do though is to take collagen. Ehlers Danlos is basically a collagen problem and taking supplements gives more support to joints.
I know this video is old but if you could pass the message along to the hostess. She might like to know this.
you most do great, but this is strange. This masterbedroom too green, the kitchen too mixed colour, the restroom boring.
