I will NEVER understand people who remove a fireplace, it's such a selling point. Get furniture that works with the footprint...geez. That dorm room of a Master bedroom... ohhh my.

[@makemelaughoutloud1]

Yep, I agree! I would give my right arm (jk) for a Fp!!

[@umgazel4785]

I would have taken the fireplace out as well. Different tastes.

[@lrajek3389]

@@umgazel4785 And left the footprint??? One more unfinished thing in the house. Looks like the boyfriend never finished anything, and she was all about the baby. Some people make small mistakes, but if you don't plan on staying in a house, why take out one of the more authentic features because it doesn't work with your tacky furniture? At least restoration companies have lots of fireplace mantels to choose from if someone else comes along with an Arts and Crafts flair.

[@bbr6444]

Amen! Such poor taste

[@peggypeggy4137]

Our fireplace was taken out before we bought the house, so it wasn't a choice. I wouldn't have taken it out myself but I don't mind that it is not there. We took out a wall and the fireplace would have made the layout awkward.

[@ccmarcum]

Was there no attempt to camouflage the ugly gas meter and AC unit in front? Really the first thing that you see!!! Some shrubs would go a long way. Whew.

[@nonawolf7495]

Anyone who removes a fireplace should be banned from home ownership.

[@llc1976]

lol I see your point

I don’t understand why their real estate agents don’t recommend these changes. Isn’t that their job?

I'm sure they do. Most clients don't listen.

A lot of clients are stubborn , suspicious, and unimaginative

[@dianebushby2510]

why do people think that other people want to finish their half finished renovation...all those things like the damp on the ceiling are red flags which will say to the buyer if there is damp in the house then what else is wrong with it that we cant see...plus people will always overestimate the costs of getting these things finished...if you want top dollar you have to get things finish!

[@irenedavo3768]

Very expensive house!

[@irenedavo3768]

Very old fashioned!

[@mellievern1161]

FIRST thing i'd do is update the FRONT of the house. Paint it a contemporary color such as a gray or soft beige and get rid of that dated dark brown wood color and cheap stick on house numbers. Ugh. Trade thoe for the nice metal numbers. I'd like to see more greenery and warmth inside the house. Other than that, the color choices/furniture arrangement, etc on the inside looks fabulous!!! Great job!

[@janetpattison8474]

Sophie is an amazing diplomat.

[@debbiemcgloan5669]

I’ve seen potential buyers walk into a place and immediately focus on the furniture as if they’re going to be stuck with it when they buy the house.

[@Freiya2011]

Almost HALF A MILLION for that shack???? Nopenopenopenever!!! I can't understand how people can live on a building site. Now that they are moving out they fix it. They should have done so when moving IN. The EXterior of the house is putting me off.

[@ninnie9702]

I only liked the guest room. The headboard they made of two doors is ugly!

kelly is stunning. I think the husband might need a bit of an update too as far as his Dutch boy haircut.

Kelly AND baby Asher. Wow!

[@Freiya2011]

Kitchen without the horrible ceiling...

[@MsMadmax1]

I've watched this series since it aired back in the early 2000's. It never ceases to amaze me how clueless these people are as to why their homes aren't selling. Between the filth (do British people never clean their homes?), unfinished DIY projects, unfinished repairs, questionable paint colors and their hoarding habits-honestly, they often look like a car boot sale threw up in their living rooms, they can't get potential buyers past the entry way. Nobody wants to move into a home with a list of projects to complete, they want move in ready. This is not rocket science.

[@MsSimpleMovies]

I can speak for our family only, but having a baby can scramble your brains for a while. My husband and I were in a complete daze! Survival mode and distortion of perspective go hand-in-hand! There's also a lot of learning about how to communicate with your spouse as well. Complacency is sometimes the result, going numb while your partner grows up. I was really selfish and entitled, and my husband was childlike and needy, himself. Throw that all into the mix, and the dust and mediocre state of the house just become background noise, even if you're selling, I bet.

[@lobstermash]

If you can get one of these TV programmes to take you on it's all off your shoulders. And I bet the show get deals on labour and materials - product placement. Win win! You need the show, the show needs you.

[@joanncleveland4812]

I get finishing the details up yet it blows my mind that someone would not buy my house because they didn't like my couch and my bedroom was painted yellow.

[@marzymarrz5172]

Her outfit is channeling a pilgrim.

[@ituesday24]

The baby's little hair 😂😍

[@angelamurphy9472]

And these clueless sellers don’t want to finish anything and expect buyers to look past it. The agent is not a good agent either. Why hasn’t she pushed her advice? Worthless agent who wants her commission. Good example of not doing your homework when selecting an agent and getting the house ready for sale.

[@lobstermash]

The agent had all the problems on the tip of her tongue. She has told them

[@llc1976]

That baby has the cutest hair! It stands up in the middle!!!

[@carinwiseman4309]

[@ingridpear1882]

The front yard isn't one of the ones with a tree,it could use some selling feature from someone garden savvy.

[@marilynndesilva7620]

Yes, I'm surprised nothing was done about curb appeal. Just concealing the oddly placed air conditioner and utilities meter would have been a big improvement.

[@patriciafry8634]

At least a few flowers

[@lorirogers9304]

Fun tights were in style back then. I had striped tights!

[@orangecouch]

Why did they paint all that beautiful wood?! (For the record, I love her coat).

[@margaretalbert69]

Sophie.....get rid of that coat? Just my opinion...don't hate people.

[@twistoffate4791]

My pet peeve concerning Sophie's wardrobe is her black knit winter hat with the odd bright circles on it.

[@bbr6444]

They covered up their fireplace? Ugh

[@lorirogers9304]

Probably too expensive to get up to code

[@KT-bg7hf]

Yeah, they covered up their fireplace to fit their ugly oversized furniture instead. Should have been the other way around, kept the fireplace and replaced the furniture with attractive furniture that properly fits the space and is functional.

[@pad1258]

I don’t blame them for leaving the city. Toronto is a dump.

[@aniz40]

A pitty nothing welcoming was done in the enterance garden. A few plants (some colors) would have been much more inviting to go have a look in the house.

[@debbieyates29]

They need someone to tell them why this house won't sell? Hate to see their new house, hopefully they haven't done any "partial" crappy renovations.

[@mikewood8680]

A mirror was a good choice but a framed mirror would have been far better hence the “slab” glued to the wall.

[@Goldilocks1949]

What about kerb appeal? The front yard is rather awful and the house colour is not all that appealing.

[@user-bescar]

If I was to buy that house, first I would take down the tin ceiling because it is ugly. Next I would take down the headboard cause I have one of my own. In the living room I would take the floating self and mirror and but in a gas firplace or electric fireplace to make the room more cozy.All this will cost money so that is something to think about when you buy a house.

[@saraheart2804]

Totally agree. That ceiling is horrible.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

All of the changes would be minimal in time and cost though. A fireplace is not necessary. You can't lower the price of a home just because it doesn't have a fireplace. That's ridiculous, lol.

[@VioletJoy]

What in the world was Sophie wearing? Lol. I'm sorry, but that shiny tin ceiling didn't go with the style of the home of the rest of the decor. Personally, I would have painted it at least. The rest of the house looked better though, especially the dining room. I'm not so sure about the candle shelf. I'm thinking a faux fireplace might have looked better.

[@serenakoleno9338]

The advantages of the shiny ceiling and giant mirror are the light and making the rooms look larger. Many want a fireplace but rarely use it. They can suck all the heated air up the chimney. Pretty candles can add warmth and ambiance.

[@VioletJoy]

@@serenakoleno9338 I love candles too, but I was suggesting a faux fireplace, which provides warmth AND ambiance. 🔥 I'm not so sure that tin ceiling made the room feel larger. It was just too busy to where it distracted from the rest of the room...but that's just me. I think painting it white would have provided light, but also texture.
