- In spite of its great location, fair price, and more than seventy showings, Catherine’s spacious family home has been languishing on the market for three whole months. Catherine is stumped…But Sofie isn’t. She says the property looks as though it was last decorated when shoulder pads and leg warmers were in style. The retro 80s décor has got to go, she says.
In order to give the home a sleek and contemporary feel, Sofie comes up with a $3,500 plan. Ready to move on with her life - and in with her new husband - Catherine is committed from the start. And as Anthony and the team expose the hardwood floors, harmonize the interiors, and freshen up the kitchen, Sofie walks Catherine through the basics of real estate 101.

Unsellables - Catherine - Season 1 - Episode 19
#Unsellables
This woman is an excellent housekeeper. She can teach some.of the younger homeowners in this channel lessons.
This is one of the few houses that is decluttered and immaculate.
Best looking “before Unsellables makeover” house I’ve ever seen on this show.
The lady who owned the house was really sweet.
This home has been taken care of. Pristine. Finally a homeowner who takes pride in keeping her outdated home clean. What a relief!
It's very tidy--neat and clean, large rooms with great windows and millwork! What is wrong with buyers, that they focus on color and things they could easily change up? This is all about decorating...
Seems like the market back then was for very lazy buyers with no mood to do a simple paint job, apparently.
@@vaderladyl I just finished painting my whole house by myself. Not simple or easy. Huge job.
@@abigail1023 Well simple if you measure it against others jobs. To me it is one of the simplest compared to others I had done but no ,I never said is easy but not daunting either.
@@vaderladyl It can be daunting depending on the people. If they aren't physically capable of painting an entire house themselves or have no time to do so they have to hire someone which is another very large expense.
@@vaderladyl yes, when I bought my house here (Europe) 10 years ago nobody wanted to buy houses. I had good luck to get an old but affordable one. My main problem was the heating, 20.000 Dollars. Paint and tiles had been much work and money at least, but haven't been a topic of decision to buy or not to buy.
Never understood why people can't look past paint and other people's furniture. I tend to repaint everything to my liking anyways, and the furniture leaves with the selller. I don't know....maybe many people lack a visual imaginartion. It's the price, location and layout that matters to me.
Ronald Clinton and the state of plumbing and electrical system, but that usually comes as a surprise later on.
We bought our home with orange shag carpet velvet green curtains. Home was so dark and dreary. Anyway we refurbished. I looked beyond what was there and visualized the possibilities.
Guess we aren't all perfect visionaries like you (I say with intense sarcasm).
@@jb6712 yeah... we totally overhauled this house over time took it from a 1977 house to contemporary. Now we want to sell and have larger home. Thanks for replying.
That is the keyword: unimaginative.
Used to be a time people bought a house and if they didn't like the interior. They painted to taste. Guess those days are gone. This was a beautiful house to begin with.
I love color, but this is why I always paint my walls extremely neutral and then bring the color in other ways like rugs and pillows and stuff
I love the green in the kitchen.
I never understood why some people have problems with decluttering before putting on the market. You will have to pack anyway, so why not go ahead and pack up before putting it on the market? Neutral colors are better than the taste-specific pastels she had before. What bothered me the most is renting furniture. It just isn't a valid option for most people. In my opinion, sofa covers are better, unless you have a HUGE oversized sofa that takes up the whole room.
Even though I thought the black leather didn't go well with her very traditional furniture I thought her house looked fine. I would not have bypassed her house simply because her furnishings were "dated". She clearly kept her home well maintained. It was extremely clean, no clutter or junk to be seen. The yard was lovely. I certainly could ascertain if the layout and structure of her house was right for me and my family without the need to spend additional money renting furniture to show/stage her home. Painting, floors (carpeting removal), structural improvements, yard maintenance, etc. make sense. Furnishings not so much. Anyone who cannot see around a bit of furniture or other house décor is focusing on the wrong stuff.
Furniture doesn't stay, spraying people's furniture to your liking Sophie isn't the answer. A good agent will be there to show the property and the sofa could be furniture covered.
Right at the door, even before going inside---no way will I ever try to navigate steps so narrow that one has to place their foot sideways just to step up on it! Give it a real porch, one that is easy to move upward on (and downward safely)--that, to me, is the one thing that is more important than any other when it comes to even wanting to look at a house.
Dark furniture can be lovely, painting good furniture is a mistake. Just remove 2 pieces to other bedrooms or storage or give to family.
That Master Bedroom is gorgeous! I can’t believe that’s the same furniture!!! Really the whole house looks fabulous 😊👍
argh! The 'comparable house' - vases of dead twigs and pots of fake grass really put my teeth on edge! WHO really has those things as 'decorations'? The house on sale is gorgeous, and the location looks lovely. People really have no imagination - and I'd quite like the purple master bedroom and I'm definitely over the age of 3. Sophie can be quite insulting of people's tastes.
I wonder why they can't move in together until her house sells
That's what I was thinking. It would be a plus to get her stuff out and be able to paint it empty.
I would have rented it out incase their marriage fails. But I’m someone whose faith in love is minimal.
Or why didn't she sell her house first and then get married so she won't have this problem?
Then there wouldn't be a "problem" for the show to solve. Lol
My immediate thought was "Why isn't Ian welcoming his new bride to his house? Does he expect her to buy into his equity once her house sells?" Sounded really off.
I like how the china cabinet was moved to living room. All the changes look great. By far the nicest redo of all these videos.
If the host really thinks that this woman's carpet was "Old and ugly" then she needs glasses! That carpet looked brand new and just lovely; a helluva lot better than that ORANGE-coloured wood floor that was lying beneath it! I still cannot wrap my head around why the "potential buyers" really give a damn about the furniture and decor if they are truly viewing this house as actual BUYERS and not just people who want to see themselves on television. On every episode of this program they act as if they are buying all the furniture and decor that is presented in every house,lol.
I thought they were going to stain the wood floor. Maybe owner didn't want to spring for sanding machine and stain, but it would have made a world of difference. Had that color wood floor in in every room of my exhusband's house. HATED it.
They look orange on camera but they are an amber honey in real life, way prettier that what looks like on TV, which tends to make some colors look off.
Increasingly, human beings are being conditioned to go for sizzle rather than steak, and this show is part of the problem.
The eat in kitchen table was better than the ugly wicker
I don't understand why the kitchen chairs were not painted to match the table. The chairs were a very drab beige. They should have painted the chairs .
I forgot about this show . They need to make new episodes .
Agreed! New episodes with Sophie as hostess.
No way I would let him paint that bedroom furniture! Store it and go to a Rent to Own for a month for what you want.
I completely agree it was a shame to paint that beautiful furniture. In addition to painting the terracotta floors in the kitchen that was horrendous and a big mistake. That paint is going to make things slippery and if any water falls down on that that floor is going to be very slippery and a extreme hazard. She should just put her furniture in storage like you said and rent something but I would not have let them paint my furniture and if they do it without the homeowners permission that's a big lawsuit.
Why would she call her single and then say she's married in the next sentence?
Cause she’s a single MOM, but married WIFE
Does’nt make sense
New husband...moving to "their" new house.
The house looked fine before and very nice afterward, but did anyone else notice how odd the fridge looked? It was much too big for that space. I might have considered removing that strange extra section of cabinets, cutting them in half and putting the fridge centered on that wall so it didn't block the back door... or at least doing something different there. The new color in the kitchen was underwhelming too. It would have been pretty with a lighter shade of the green that she had originally rather than white on white.
Also, while any nice chair could have been rented, cramming a bulky love seat in the corner of the living room was an odd choice. I love the show, but couldn't help but notice those few things this time.
This seller was the most open to change I have ever seen!
I love when we know what happens! Happy for them
Anthony is great! He’s a great asset to have!
The Longest Peachiest Coridor lve ever seen? Lol and l love that Green Silk Blouse!
Wow...What A Difference!
Even for 2008, when this episode was filmed, that blouse was hideous!!
I've staged one house and four condos for sale, and always go to CraigsList first. Take pictures of the staging and put them with sale papers: it's tax-deductible. Then if I like some pieces, take them home after the sale
I'm surprised not to see a plate of chocolate chip cookies in the kitchen. Buy refrigerated dough, bake 'em up, put 'em out. The smell makes an open house much more inviting and getting chocolate into someone's mouth makes an unfamiliar interior more hospitable.
The house looks great but they should have spent the leftover $1500 on a portico entry for the front door. It would provide shelter from the weather as well as providing a much better step into the front foyer. Another commenter pointed out the tiny front step and I can’t stop thinking of how often I would trip on that!
8:10 'it's very modern' she says walking past an electric cooker from the 1970's.
And the old tv 📺 in the kitchen.
@@gingerale1861 That cooker had electric rings on it - not seen them since the 1980's. If you are paying top dollar for a house, you expect premium brand appliances like Miele or Siemens. They don't have be stupid money like Thermador though.
Nice house. Good that they could tell us that it sold.
My fiancé's son bought a house for a lot less than it was worth largely because the decor and flooring were outdated and tatty. While my fiancé fitted new wood flooring downstairs his ex-wife and I painted the whole house top to bottom, all to a high standard because we care about the person who'll be living there. The previous owner visited to discuss an issue with the heating boiler and said he wished he'd done all of this years ago, bemoaning the £10k+ more he could have had if he'd got his priorities right.
Let me get Anthony’s number. Lol I wish you guys were local.
Yes, he's really good at spray painting antique furniture until it looks like MDF board crap from the Hobby Lobby discount section. And proud of it. I wouldn't let either one of these into my house. It's all about cheap fixes. May be why Anthony isn't on there anymore, he got tired of being told to patch.
@@lucygray6162 thanks for the insight
What a lovely young woman. She is really capable and kind to boot. Great!
One of the nicest sellers, and her house was immaculate. i wish her the very best with her new life.
Totally beautiful!!!
I can't believe those entry steps! No landing! Not only is it awkward, it's an accident waiting to happen. It definitely would not meet code today.
Why didn't she just rent the place out? Passive income without any hassle. Plus she keeps an asset that should appreciate.
Renting has many problems for a landlord, one biggie being damage done by renters that is more than the deposit. We had a house rented by a friend of the chief of police of our small town. This person did a lot of damage! Even with references, renters don’t always work out.
Very nice, happy it sold.
Very nice house!
They must have gotten a great deal on that paint cause she puts it in every house.
The market ain't what it used to be where buyers could demand everything to be so perfect and just so... Nowadays in certain areas you're lucky to find any inventory available at all. In WNC the only house I could afford was almost a complete fixer-upper... I mean it was worth it though, only could have done it with help! Otherwise, love your transformations!
Why don't they ever show the bathrooms?
Canadian homes don't have bathrooms. The people there just hold it in.
Don't be silly... the woods are nearby.
Ellen Gregory haha 🤣
+yoo toob Ha ha ha ha!!!!! :)
My bet is because most bathrooms need more that two days and $3000 worth of work. They don't have enough time within the parameters of the show to do that. I have seen them paint a few bathrooms.
I can't be painting my bedroom furniture. They are antiques from when my mom got married in '46. I'll keep watching is see what to do.
You're not quite at ”antique” yet I'm happy to say since I was born in 1947. Antique is over 100 years. Vintage is under. Wonderful you value your mother’s things. No, don't paint them!
@@MrsEJV thank you. I needed the support.
And they are from Saks Fifth Ave. 🙂
I like a good 'antique' piece incorporated with clean and contemporary interiors. It's a wonderful mix.
@@nancyfahey7518 No, not quite antique yet, but getting close! They sound just lovely, and are probably of wonderful quality. Don't let someone like Sophie near them with a paintbrush!
Sad thing is, nobody wants antiques anymore. You can’t give them away.
The makeover looks great, and it's a lovely house, but every time I watch a 'before' tour and see a tiled backsplash in anything but white, I get this clutch of anxiety!
Beautiful terracotta quarry tiles in this kitchen - timelessly classic, practical and good quality, and they would be a really nice accent in a predominantly white/cream and neutral kitchen. Instead, sure enough, they painted over them - that paint will get scratched in a year or two, be unhygenic and scruffy, and cleaning it all off would be a huge undertaking, if it's even possible. Easier to just rip the tiles off and replace them, but the original ones must have been expensive, and it's a horrible waste.
It's such a cheap bodge instead of working the design around them. I really wish they wouldn't do this!
(Still, at least this time they didn't also paint over the granite worktops, which they did in one episode I saw!).
The house in its original state, I think is beauitful.
$449,000???? FOR THAT??? THAT'S THE REASON IT WOULDNT SELL HOLY COW
If somebody would do something as barbaric as putting paint and such ugly handles on my antique furniture I would go berserk.
Her bedroom furniture was not antique it was something from a department store from 40 years ago. Just dark and chunky furniture. Besides who's to say she wanted to keep it since she was moving in with her husband and his furniture. I see that style of furniture at thrift store's really often at low prices because it looks so bulky.
I totally agree but she was just going to toss this stuff...I’d just move the furniture I want to keep or not have touched moved out
I can't understand why so many women my age get married and are expected to sell THEIR house and move into his, or worse, pay off his. Ladies, keep your financial assets! Catherine's house is spotless, and wow. It really just needed painting and remove some stuff (store it in the garage) and add some flowers and fresh linens. Still think she should keep it, then she's always got that financial investment.
Pretty! Good job 👍
This is the exact layout of my sister's house. Nearly identical. The only difference is that she has a fireplace in the living room.
Love all these shows!!
If I was looking at the "before" house, I would've pictured a very very old woman living there.
Also, WHY doesn't the listing agent say something to the seller? I mean, 3 months is a long time to have had your house on the market. She should've gone to the seller around the 6-week mark and said, "Hey, your house needs to be updated so it'll show better."
When we sold our house, the listing agent went over everything & told us what to change...it sold quickly.
The only thing that needed to go were the ratty black sofas. The agent dropped the ball by not emphasizing to buyers how well maintained the house was. I go by the house's bones, the maintenance, and the location. Only an idiot would buy a house because of pretty paint done hastily. Once the furniture's out, they can finally see the house naked with all it's faults. In a poorly maintained house, the shortcuts and patches are smiling at you and your empty purse.
My room's purple and I'm way over five and I picked out the purple :)
crystal dennis You can paint a room any color you want to but just realize that when selling you are trying to appeal to the majority of people not the select few that have your personal taste .
Don't try to sell it
+crystal dennis Despite what the host asserts, PLENTY of people adore purple! But since the host doesn't seem to know the difference between purple and lavender, and thinks that wood must always be painted white to be "chic" I don't put much stock in her opinions anyway. ;-)
I would totally be okay with buying a house with Purple in the master....that is what I would paint it anyways.
Purple wouldn't scare me off. When I bought my 1940's home, it was outdated and every room had wallpaper. Within a year, I stripped it all off and painted the walls. That yr gave me time to decide what would look best. But I kept the old/dark wood trim. It is beautiful! No one could have known my tastes, and I was not bothered by theirs.
What’s wrong with shoulder pads and leg warmer? 😂😂😂😂
I still love the leg warmers!
Oh my god don't paint that gorgeous wood furniture! It's worth way more as it is, sell it for a decent price and buy some cheaper furniture to paint instead. D: Other than that I agree, peach/pink walls have got to go and dark furniture is making the rooms feel small.
+carlotta4th I agree. When the contractor said that the furniture was gonna be "thrown away" anyway, I shook my head in disbelief! That furniture looked too good to be thrown away, but now that he's painted it white it looks like cheap trash that's indeed worthy of a trip to Salvation Army instead of fetching a good price in selling it. I absolutely DETEST the way this host insists on painting every damn piece of wood a tacky, glaring white!!
And he didn't even sand the finish on the wood furniture, or prime it. You should prep the wood before painting varnished wood.
I think the furniture was ugly and cheap looking and looked way better painted white
I agree with you!
Thea, I agree. The dark brown is really ugly and old looking. Belongs in a medieval castle. It needed to be painted for an updated look.
So ironic she brought up leg warmers and shoulder pads. Lots of 80s style stuff is popular again.
I love the colour you put in the living/dining room. Is it possible to get the brand and colour name🙏PLEASE!
It needs a kitchen. It has needed a kitchen for more than 15 years. Painting those cabinets with plastic fronts will last about 5 minutes.
I would have at least replaced the green countertop with a premade countertop you can get a big box hardware store.
Yep
Can someone answer the question of why is every picture that is hanging on the walls in any program blurred? Not allowed for some reason ?
It has to do with the fact that many artists don't want their artwork commercialized in such a way on such a program. They prefer to have control over where and how their artwork is displayed to the public.The producers would have to get permission from the artists to display the work, which could be complicated, so they just blur them out to avoid any complications or lawsuits later.
@@arcane7298 thanks for the info
OMG why are they putting the polyurethane on with a brush in small patches at a time, using back and forth strokes!!??? agghhhhhhh!!! are they insane!!!? 😱😱😱
You should see them paint. Especially Sophie. Totally no experience.
Listening to this episode because of Sophie's face in CZcams icon lol
Has she thought of renting out.
+elizabeth gerrard That was my very thought! Statistics have shown that older folks getting married have a higher divorce rate than do younger folks who marry, and of course you run a higher risk of losing your partner sooner into the marriage (due to death). All the money from the sale of her house will now go into community property, which means that if she divorces Ian he can go after at least half of what the sale of her house generated....unless of course they invested all of it into HIS house (very common). On the other hand, if she dies before him (and judging by the way she looks that's entirely possible) she leaves no property to her daughter, since her property is now soley that of her surviving partner. When he dies, ALL of it becomes that of HIS children; her daughter gets zip! If I were her, I'd make out a will in which-upon my death-my home that I bought previous to my marriage would automatically become the property of my daughter. In the meantime, I'd simply rent it out to generate additional income.
We have rented houses and many people destroy the house. I wouldn't rent this beautiful home for fear of what may happen to it.
You dont look old enough to remember shoulder pads and leg warmers.
Show is from 2008.
Iron your blouse love
Jo S Lol :-)
Really cute though.
Look at her shoes. She can't even walk in them, and her ankles quiver when she tries to stand without leaning on a wall. My podiatrist friend predicts she probably has severe arthritis in her feet by now. All that "I have to pee" posturing is from those shoes. I guess she had to keep the producers happy with six-inch spikes and creased blouses but at what cost?
They put a rug down the same color as the old carpet! Ba ha ha!
I rather like the "dated" look of the living & dining rooms - much prefer carpet to wood flooring in those rooms. The "inspiration" dwelling's master bedroom screams "BANG YOUR HEAD" (daily) with those slanted ceilings (been there years ago - never again) & it is so obvious that the dining room is terribly small.
Where did the piano go?
dinner table looks like for cabinets meetings. This owner is pretty. She should more respect her health, sports, food.
The house is now a winner.
On furniture wood exactly what prep. Did you do and what brand paint did you use did you use kill I need to do mine
Honey, they are not professional at all. If you've watched more than two episodes, you know they simply patch with shoddy materials for resale. I'll bet they didn't even sand it first. You can get much better information about how to paint wood correctly from vids, although the professionals prefer to restore antique furniture instead of painting it until it looks like Hobby Lobby fiberboard trash.
Well done redo
The decor is old and shabby
I've watched several episodes of this show.
She slaps white paint over everything. Yes, it looks clean, but no, no,no. I like the carpenter a lot.
coffee fiend do you understand the concept of modernizing and neutralizing to SELL? That house was so outdated, and the peach walls make it more so. White is neutral and bright, not dated and dingy looking. That way buyers don't have to look at painting unless they want to change the color.
I read a great tip when staging a house: call several different paint stores and find out the top five selling colors. Use white on all trim and be judicious with the "hot" shades of gray, off-white and stone-beige. I've staged five properties over 14 years and those are the three big colors but the variation changes a little every year.
White kitchens are in again don't you know?!
You haven't seen anything yet. She and Anthony go with cheap fixes. I've seen her ruin period details in turn of the century houses with sloppy paint, and Anthony has no problem putting MDF board over hand-laid bricks in Arts and Crafts bungalows. They would both be thrown out of California and other historic districts.
Desperate sellers will agree to anything, and low-budget buyers are ignorant to antique and classic features in a home. I wish they would stay in the clone suburbs and leave the irreplaceable houses alone.
This house just needed to move out of the ‘80s
Replaces outdated sofa with an even more outdated sofa.
Why do they keep painting the wood over with white paint? Just change the handles or put glass doors on them.
+Thejudge I agree!!!
why do you blur out pictures on the walls? kitchen is disappointing, no wow factor. everything else is nice.
G'day, Leslie Spiers! It has something to do with the artist's having control over where his/her work is displayed to the public. The show would have to get the artist's permission to show it on the programme.
Take the grey off the floor and put it on the walls? Yuck. And, finally, place another grey rug on top of the hardwood floor.
I feel like I've seen this same lumpy black leather furniture over and over in a lot of episodes.
I don't like the chocolate sofas. Why not something vibrant and contemporary. Or, a classic chesterfield?
The show itself is now dated, and I hope more people have learned to think for themselves when it comes to decor. If you pay full price because of the paint job and styled furniture, you get what you deserve once you finally see the house naked.
I was binge-watching this because of the interesting houses, and the desperate sellers. I couldn't help noticing Sophie has zero knowledge of "period details," which she always slops paint on, and Anthony seems forced to use shoddy materials to do random patch jobs. At least he seems a little embarrassed by it. She tilts around on those silly heels like she has to pee, leaning on furniture to steady herself, and criticizes every era before 1990 like it produced nothing of value. Hope she's matured by now.
both comp houses were better than this house even after d renovation.
and there is now way her house was worth $400k after with the old appliances, no master suite bathroom, limited closet space...nope.
I didn't think so. They both looked small and cramped.
I hate wood floors. I have never lived anywhere with wood floors throughout until I moved into my current home. There is wood flooring in the whole living room and dining room. It is so cold to step on the floor there and they say carpet is great for insulating. I would NEVER choose wood floors ever! Because then you have to buy a whole bunch of rugs too...ugh!
Dust bunnies.
With so many environmental allergies now, many folks prefer hardwood or laminate flooring without off gassing for health reasons.
I've removed wall to wall carpeting, many times. People have no idea how nasty wall-to-wall carpeting is. Dirt gets trapped in the padding. Any spills do to. It's a nasty breeding ground for mold and mildew and an assortment of nasty bacteria. Any one who loves wall-to-wall carpeting should remove some, one time, and I bet they'd change their mind. I know I did. I only want cleanable surfaces from now on. I want to be able to sweep, mop, disinfect my floor surface. As to the 'cold' floor, wear house shoes.
@@cocokai9661 Me too! People don't realize that all those dust bunnies they can see on hard floors are there on their carpets too, in fact the carpet fibers are breaking down and floating around also. I HATE wall to wall carpet and removed it whenever I could.
In my case I have allergies so I’m looking for hardwood floors.
Total destruction of lovely master bedroom furniture, .
That furniture restoration would cost FAR more than $250 to have it professionally sprayed like this.
That wasn't a professional job. That was a quick cheap fix in the backyard, guaranteed to have runs and patches. The tarps were probably the highest part of the expense. They never do anything professionally, they just patch for a quick sale.
"modern" and "classic". lol.
epifny9614. This show is about 10 years old. Styles change every 7 to 8 years.
She has personally destroyed more classic furniture and period wood details than a bulldozer. The woman has no taste, and no knowledge whatsoever about anything turn-of-the century up to the 40s. Pathetic choice of presenter for a design show.
Decor equals sale? People.
Remember presenter to iron your shirt/clothes before doing the show. The presenter is pretty, but it's so obvious that she sometimes looks down at people and turns her eyes in her head when she thinks they're dumb. This is somewhat expected from her coming from a background of wealth and British aristocracy. She is tactful, but needs to be more careful in her attitude. Sometimes she seems downright snobby. They always use the same general contractor. He shows up on every show. Also either the presenter lady is very tall or everyone else is really short.
British aristocracy? She doesn't appear to be overly educated. She doesn't know jack about anything before the 90s, and acts as if none of it matters. She wouldn't be on an invitation list by high-end decorators, architects or period house enthusiasts. She simply patches, paints, insults, teeters about on wobbly ankles in silly shoes, and moves on to screw up another house. As for Anthony, I hope he isn't a real contractor who took on the role of "guy slumming for TV as a low-rent patch-and-run artist." He does seem embarrassed at times by the garbage he has to make out of MDF board.
I can't believe they painted that beautiful bedroom furniture............they could have just taken some pieces away cause its all going with her anyway. Removing those glass doors! OH NOOOO
My thoughts exactly!
Yep. Those doors were beautiful, and now she's left with a mismatched set of bedroom furniture she can neither use or sell. I say, remove all of it, but the kind of cheap Ikea headboard and side cupboard Sophoe seems to like. In fact, why can't she move in with her new husband until the house sells? It seems like a house sells better when there are no people living in them to clutter them up and leave personal touches like toothbrushes.
Sophie always paints the better woods. She has no class sense whatsoever. She loves the Hobby Lobby discount furniture look, and wouldn't know an antique if it bit her in the leg. Probably never saw an episode of Antique Roadshow in her life, too busy shopping for uncomfortable shoes.
@@lucygray6162 no taste at times
Sofie gonna paint something puke green
Pity they paint wood over ever so often!
Its seems like the host is flirtatious, or maybe it just the English accent..
It's not the accent. She does a lot of preening and posing. I don't watch the show for her, she acts like a little girl wearing her mother's uncomfortable shoes. I enjoy the locales and houses, even though she ruins the classy ones with her cheap paint and Anthony's MDF board fixes. She was practically leaning on that male realtor at 18:40. The Asian buyer had a very tight grip on her boyfriend, too, maybe she didn't appreciate all that purring from Sophie..
boring
How blah and sterile looking
Jeez... If only they hired someone who has some taste! All these pots with synthetic grass, arranged symmetrically, replacing the matching kitchen table with some absurd item that doesn't go with anything... All so sad and cheap...
Fake buyers, scripted dialogue
Just buy a new home!
She already had a new home to move into---the one she was about to share with her new husband---so she just had to sell hers 🙄
I cannot even believe that we have a TV show host that is featuring renovated homes and she doesn't pronounce the word Realtor correctly. It's two syllables....not three! It's Real-tor....not Realator! I know that it's frequently mispronounced, but come on, it doesn't take much to correct yourself. Look at the spelling, for Pete's sake.
Lol
She is English, we pronounce many words different to Americans, like water as it is spelt Americans bring a R into it. We laugh a lot over the way our friends over the pond pronounce the English language.
That's an awful lot of garbage in one ridiculous paragraph, considering that Sophie is British, and very likely learned a different way of pronouncing her words.
We don’t call them realtors ,they are Estate agents.
Sophie is from a near aristocratic family and can use the title the Honourable Sophie. Her parents manor is out of this world.
