Totaly stupid flat. And the Sarah's change is magnific. Congratulation Sarah!!!!!

[@paigerosner8574]

Poor Cheryl, that would be so overwhelming, seeing your apartment with the designer and a camera crew and probably having a bit of a panic attack about the size.

[@kimhaas7586]

“A 42” TV is disgusting.” 😂🤣😅🤣😂

[@marynewell5706]

I wish the reveal was longer.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

TV's have come a long way.

[@jmpe.5289]

Yes the spaces were small... but the end result is elegant yet comfortable & functional, for both spaces. It can't be much better than that! Classic design (as Sarah and her team always seem to do!), & gotta love ABODE for giving us Design Inc. again (thanks, ABODE!).🥰🥰🥰

[@annsmith7207]

The drapery should have been extended to where the walls meet on the left side of the room. Arbitrary placement of the drapery rod is awkward and draws attention to how small the room is instead of ticking the eye into thinking it is larger and wider than it is. Not great and alward.

[@crazycatlady61]

I don’t know why they didn’t sell it and buy something bigger once she saw how small it actually was. I preferred the first rug , it looks lovely

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Two years + a lot of money invested, are why. She has to allow it to appreciate before resale.

[@saturdaisy8576]

Wouldn’t the couch go better under the artwork, so it’s across from the tv? And then put those 2 chairs in front of the window when they have guests over. I’d think the couch is more comfortable

[@christinewilliams7005]

Wow - what a transformation! Design, Inc.really hit a home run. Great to see someSarah Richardson and Design, Inc. thanks for posting!

[@libertyblueskyes2564]

This type of guy who needs two tvs and a stereo system in a small space would not be my type.

[@katbar6066]

Totally agree

[@anitavirginillo]

True dat!

[@ginacrusco234]

The condo decor is beautiful. The artwork in the living room is hideous.

[@karensinclair4189]

How can anyone live there comfortably? I can’t see it.

[@katbar6066]

I agree- not even a single person who is a minimalist would cope for long.

[@Maggie22002]

@@katbar6066 I wonder if they were just there out of convenience. Like maybe it’s closer to work, or something. Wouldn’t have added. Purple velvet pillows with rhinestones. How does that add comfort to a room? She said only have what you need to be comfortable.

[@missmurrydesign7115]

Utterly brilliant...

[@deborahhanchett899]

Beautiful so beautiful love that you Incorporated purple one of my favorite colors

[@happyhippie136]

I love almost everything you do, but painting that beautiful dresser was sacrilegious.

[@katbar6066]

Could not agree more. If it didn't suit as was then find something else.

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

[@onthebay66]

Why was the TV not resessed into the wall or hide behind a paintin? Just wondering in this tiny condo

[@h.l.d.9988]

I would sell asap, and I live alone.

[@Whoiskevinjones]

Looking at the floorplans for two years and she was shocked by the size? Where did all the stuff from their other homes go? I give the marriage a year.

[@donna7338]

Someone (Cheryl and hubby) didn't do their homework first by noticing how small the rooms would be. It would have been better if the apartment was a large open floor space. Tear down the L-shape corner wall between the living room and kitchen would help.

[@katbar6066]

It could be a supporting wall for the apartment upstairs or for the roof. Not always easy in Apartments to pull down walls- but I agree it would have looked better.

[@scottwilliams5705]

Great design, I'm just not sure how 2 people can live in that cramped space.

[@Maggie22002]

I wonder if they lived there because it was close to where they worked maybe.

[@shirleyprescott1528]

These videos go back and forth too many times! It is very confusing and I don't get a much out of them . I feel like I am wasting my time so I fast forward to the end ..... only to see the end result ...... That I always Love.

[@darlenechandler2403]

They are very old videos, because Tommy Smythe is no longer involved and he is in the opening. Too bad there weren’t new ones That is why it is so confusing to us.

[@darlenechandler2403]

Plus I think most of the stores they went to on Queen St. West are now closed, and that is too bad too.

[@s.z.6200]

The background music is too obtrusive when they are talking.

[@jackiequeen4481]

Sarah is normally one of my favorites but not in this one. I guess people just have too much money...so much fuss made over such a tiny space. Lord, how do people live in closets like this? And, no matter how many thousands are spent on all the tiny, teeny details, it still is nothing but a closet.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

We're all different. Some of us actually prefer a tiny space. It's nice to be open to being tolerant to differences -- it enriches life.

[@kimberlyryan8618]

Why would anyone buy a place to live site unseen?

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Because that’s how you buy with a new development. They try to sell as many units as they can before it’s complete, and when it’s done, the price usually goes up for anything that’s unsold.

[@luisv7117]

Tv can ve bigger

[@kellynoel77]

Wait, wait. A television has nothing to do with design? Watching television is one of the primary purposes of a living room. How gross for Sarah to just ignore the client’s request - and so flippantly.

[@PLODay-bk8ws]

It was an oversized TV that Sarah was ruling out. And Paul later agreed the 32" TV was the right size for the space.

[@wallihaley5194]

Personally, I refuse to have a TV in the living room. I think it’s unsightly and a distraction and sends a message that the most important function of the room is watching the TV instead of conversing with other people. On the other hand, I realize that some people don’t have the extra space in which to put a TV and so their stuck with it.

[@kellynoel77]

@@wallihaley5194 yeah I don’t have a television in my living room either. But the homeowners should get to decide what happens in every room of the home. It’s Sarah’s attitude here that I have an issue with. Truly ridiculous.

[@s.z.6200]

Way too narrow,

[@anitavirginillo]

Thumbs down - that art work in the living room, the striped wallpaper, dark hardwood and all those dining room chairs, the 2 televisions - it was ALL WAY TOO MUCH!!!

[@anitavirginillo]

Also a horrible final reveal - too much time spent gasping over how small it was and all the chaos!

[@Maggie22002]

And don’t forget those awful Purple Velvet pillows with buttons. Is that really fashionable? Maybe in the 1920’s, but since. Since when is that comfortable?
