From Blueprint to Reality - The House That £100K Built - S03 EP6 - Home Design

[@georgiesmith106]

I liked how the couple opened up to all the ideas that Pierce suggested to them, what a difference it made.

[@dennisbuckner271]

I love this designer! I have watched many of these types of shows and he seems to be the only one that truly contributed!! Huge fan here in Utah! Thanks for all your hard work!

[@jillyjay94]

I noticed that in episodes when self builders really take notes from the experts and also explore innovative designs the house comes out amazing. Thanks for the nice vid👍

[@jackieperkins8514]

I love what Pierce said about not needing a focal point!

[@andreaandrea6716]

This series is FABULOUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting these episodes!! You are making a LOT of people happy!

[@frithbarbat]

Paint, wallpaper, lights. Every interior designers favorite playthings. Well done!

[@jewelssylva3738]

One of the best results yet. I especially love the ceiling light strips. The couple listened to advise & yet made it uniquely theirs.

[@johnbangura3922]

Kieran and Piers i can see the gray, blue and pink instead of orange backing up with thee bronze lighting colour was used in the kitchen 56:44 . You Guys' are extraordinarily perfect

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Builds should require an architect! A good one. Fabulous wallpaper, lighting, furnishings, finishes. What's the appraised value of it now?

[@TheByard]

Great family home, main colours work well. Then the Essex theme comes through, great fun that can be changed easily later when taste change. I think they will be very happy living there, the kids will love the garden in the summer. Thanks for letting me join you journey, well done. I have built my own house in Vietnam and even though I worked in construction most of my life. Boy was it a headache, not only thinking of ideas but changing Vietnamese ideas and methods of build. I have been asked to oversee house build of friends but will only take on foundation works. So at least there is a sound foundation. Have also advised on plans and friends can see where we have deviated from the original developers drawings, to make a better home. I just wish this program had been around when I was building, so many great and simple ideas.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Wow ! Well done you!! No small task!

[@elizabethrufener7280]

I’ve noticed 2 extra doors off of the main hall. Why not use wider openings with no doors? Here in the US we don’t use doors to close off common living spaces.

[@assacam5747]

Likely a powder room and front hall closet. Don't need a door to go pee? Hiding mess of costs, boots, shoes, skateboards, scooters etc is also amazing for a family of 4. I'd rather have doors

[@trudiprigge1883]

I loved this series. Please could you continue with more!?

[@andreaandrea6716]

I see a lot of wallpapers in the UK that ... how do I say this politely? ... that just are not good. Their living room, with the pink light in that recessed wall/alcove area, and all the bits of coloured light elsewhere ... made the house look like a cross between a shop and a disco. The pretend fireplace is awful... a LOT of what they did was good but they simply haven't a clue about decorating; it looks 'bought,' inexperienced ... I suppose they will figure it out with time (or not). The main thing is that THEY ARE HAPPY... AND, It's a GREAT house with a stellar view!!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

People in the UK have a much greater affinity for modern, minimal design with saturated splashes of color -- those who have architect-designed spaces, anyway. They're quite good at it.

[@beejayvandegriendt3632]

That was not my style of interiors at all, but wow! They did an absolutely stunning job! And kudos to Colin for the installation of those lights - he did that excellently. Well done to this couple. I wish them very many happy years in their home.

[@gilien521]

This was one of the best I've seen. Great ideas and they followed them and what a result. Colin, great job on those lights. Congrats from an older ranch house in California, loved it !

[@fredman4465]

Good advice on good minds work for great results. It looks sooo amazing 🇰🇪

[@12345jonny]

I noticed that in Europe many of these homes are made out of block, in the USA everything is made out of plywood and siding. Maybe that’s why their homes are built to last.

[@k-studio8112]

I also notice that one. I've watched a lot of house constructions from USA and they usually use wood frames and wood sidings for the exterior walls even for a one-storey house. Meanwhile most of the house construction in Europe that I've seen integrates the half concrete and wood construction. Maybe it has something to do with the weather since they had extreme ones out there.

[@momsterous]

Must be Hell to hang anything or move outlets.

[@lizcademy4809]

@@momsterous I'm in the USA, and have friends in Europe. One couple are fixing up an owned flat, I learned how they manage masonry walls. Hanging things isn't a problem, you drill a hole and use an anchor. To move outlets or change wiring, you need to jackhammer a narrow channel in the wall to run conduit, then plaster over it. It is a big job. On the other hand, the buildings are wind and fire proof, and will last for hundreds of years. My very well built house is 122 years old and I just had to replace a lot of rotten wood trim. In much of Europe, there was little timber suitable for building. In the USA, we had miles and miles of timber quality forest. Here, wood was much cheaper than masonry.

[@UPalooza]

US does balloon-frame (light wood assembly quick) because we have trees. UK lost all their forests during the war(s) with Spain (to build ships)

[@andrewjoseph4428]

Wow beautiful

[@safevoyage]

Very nice and well done. I would have wanted more color, even if subdued, in the bright white entryway so it doesn’t look like primer paint. It’s funny when designers say it will make a space look bigger even though it’s the same size lol.

[@joanburbank3667]

I can totally relate to this. I demoed my house last July and into September. Left a bedroom and a bath. I’m still ‘camping’, outdoor kitchen, you can get away with it in Florida. It’s a slow process!

[@ManMartin]

I think It was better to use the separate livingroom as a dinning room with no wall.

[@suzannepatterson307]

I love this house! Good job everyone!

[@svietka202]

I am really glad for them and of course it’s all a matter of personal pace but to me the whole design is very disjointed it doesn’t feel warm or inviting and They really went to town with all those disco lights

[@stephenspilker9334]

ya know i watch lot's of these show's and one question always comes to mind. where the hell do they park their car's?

[@Sumit-Sh]

The final house came out very nice 👍 very impressive

[@thomasspainhour1112]

Awesome. Tom, NC USA

[@N-A-uw5fp]

They didn’t have to go with such bright colors either. There are a million shades of every color, which would have been even more unique. So glad they went with copper! Way more sophisticated. Also, would love to see this show share how much they could sell it for with how much they spent. They could always mortgage it for more than they paid to pay off debts and invest in the rest.

[@UPalooza]

Yeah Piers blew it. Never taught them about colors in proportion, while scaring them with the three colors.

[@nittygritty9418]

I would have loved a little bit more color in the kitchen.

[@aylade]

Although it may seem colorless to you it probably meets their needs and preferences.

[@theagathokakological3052]

They took color in the wrong direction. Red pink blue strips everywhere. Somebody stop him..

[@lizcademy4809]

Those LED lights can change color very easily. What's sci fi disco one night can be warm and cozy yellows the next. Or you can blast pure white light if necessary. If you're tech savvy you can even set up programs to change the color on a schedule. I have my bedroom LEDs set to imitate a sunrise, even though for 4 months of the year I have to wake up well before sunrise.

[@hollyhold562]

I miss the turquoise & orange accents. Perhaps that will come.

[@wandajames6234]

It looks great but what would the real costs have been if they didn't have family/friends helping? It would have cost more to have the sliding glass installed for sure. Plus the cost of the lot... and with free architectural help... It's in no way a $100,000 house.

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

Then just steal someone's house then. God. Is that free enough for you?

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Nice but needs more color and plants and art - waaaay too much white and gray. Needs a warm couch or carpet. Very well laid out.

[@UPalooza]

When a client is this design-averse, you have to be clever when you pull them along. And stop when they clearly stiffen up. Piers should know that.

[@synhegola]

An architect who doesn't know what basic colours are... It's a bit sad, but a very common mistake. Love the series regardless ;)

[@junkandcrapamen]

[@catherinebranson8898]

Nice, but it does not look family friendly.

[@socialistsolidarity]

I don't get why they kept that useless garage, it's not like you park a car in it. 🤦🏽‍♂️ Apart from that, this couple was open-minded and customized the suggestions to their liking.

[@icandothis1238]

Wish I had the guts.

[@UPalooza]

Oooh, they're reluctant to depart from unremarkable homes they've seen all over the UK. They made a developer home, thinking it's a finished home. There are better exercises you can do with a client than these; that relax them and slowly pull them forward. You can see they weren't on board with the color and they didn't do it. Every time there's a pause I cringe, knowing Piers has no finesse and he'll remind clients their decisions suck..

[@Xander785]
