[@hrishikeshdutta9959]

Anyone who is sane will never want to work with you two. The way you insulted the previous owners is so disrespectful. What you did to this house is nothing special.

[@reneewooley1240]

I completely agree! I have dragonflies everywhere including antique Tiffany lights from an estate sale. There’s no way I can take all of my stuff with me into my new home so I hope that whoever buys my house will appreciate the love that went into the home i designed and decorated

[@tabbbb15]

The people who did all of this to their home to make it fit their personalities I just absolutely love it!! They would have had to spend money and time on these projects and its so cool and different. I hope they are still expressing their fun artistic sides wherever they are today!!! I know a lot of us probably would not want this in our homes but I'm seriously just appreciating everything they did to their home. I bet they just loved it!! To be completely honest I LOVE THE SHELL SINK!! like probably too much. Its so cool that whole bathroom is just ART and attention to detail!!

[@shikshyaji]

I agree, even i love the shell sink and the black stone bathtub.

[@missybekind5022]

I loved it also!! The only thing I could say I didn't like was that the tub was probably not so comfortable.? Absolutely loved the stone work on the walls!..

[@lornahardin4563]

Inside the house redo looks great, however, the front yard lost its identity when the big tree was cut down and the tree on the front left corner of the house. The corner one could have been left even if the beautiful big one was compromised.

[@NCHCLW]

Agreed, I'm on board with the interior but these flippers destroyed the landscaping. It was established and beautiful, no need to remove living plants that look nice.

[@lornahardin4563]

@@NCHCLW Most flippers lose the neighborhood identity of an older house when they take out the old established trees and shrubs, I literally cringe when they do that. Tells me they may have inside taste, but definitely not outside taste, even with the back yards. So very plain and blah.

[@annamaria8749]

The problem is when people plant trees down in the south west they choose trees that don’t do well in the elements down here. To keep an old tree in our front yard we have to baby it. We planted 3 more trees and only native to the area. Our neighborhood has lost many trees due to the drought ☹️.

[@FinestOfTheSouth]

They literally said the tree didn’t make it through a bad storm lol. What did you want them to do? Keep a damaged tree in the front yard? 😂

[@jory6795]

Agree. The front yard doesn’t look good. It was lush and green before and now it looks dingy. They should have at least made some flower beds and planted some proper plants since they removed everything. That large tree should have been replaced by another tree. They just put some rocks in the spot the tree used to be? Odd.

[@lilybutler9740]

It was a very individual decorated house before, very personalized. And you did your job, making it a generic house for mainstream taste and you achieved your goal.

[@Snow-xd4rv]

Was this sarcasm, cause I was pissed at remodel too.

[@lilybutler9740]

@@Snow-xd4rv Well…not really - they did do their job to attract a broader clientele so they achieved their goal. I like my personalized house, individually decorated, but that wouldn’t sell it, I guess. So it’s more like: sad, but necessary in order to make a profit.

[@lynnbetts4332]

@@rubyredjeans The outside fit suburbia. The inside fit the personality of the owners. I loved it. I don't think it was mismatched at all. Their furnishings probably tied it all together. I was surprised they didn't rock over that 1980's brick fireplace, though. That DEFINITELY needed slate/rock overlaid.

[@lauraaustin3250]

@@lynnbetts4332 Made me so sad to see how they made fun of the ones who loved and adored this house. There is no excuse for being rude about the previous owners. Very disappointed in the attitude Sigh. The world has enough rudeness. This was NOT necessary.

[@elainehenning1387]

@@lauraaustin3250 agree the previous owners spent time on the artistic tiling of the shower walls. They may have went a little overboard with tile/slate. I can’t believe they didn’t remove the tile so it could have been repurposed. I could see making a water feature in the yard with all the slate and stone. Houses today are being all made to be similar open, neutral colors and as they said boring, as they said. Homes used to represent the owners by design and decor. They were comfortable and looked lived in. Now they are clean spaces more for show than living. Not my style. Everyone has their own idea of a beautiful home to ridicule them is wrong, it is a representation of who they are. Mocking the home is making fun of the owner.

I would not have painted the fireplace. The brick was really nice. It matched the exterior brick and it would have gone nicely with the cabinetry. Now everytime new owners have a fire, they will have to worry about smoking up the white. Just say no to painting brick or stone.

[@Reen619]

[@mishajameson8939]

It's very hard to sell a highly individualistic house. That's why most of us choose classics for the hard-to-change elements. Personalize with paint, fabric, art, and furnishings. It's the most sensible and sustainable way. Look at how much had to go to the landfill. If everyone did that to every home, it would be a bigger environmental disaster than fast decor.

You can always contact local mosaic artists to come get/remove tiles. Like the mirror with tiles. Also the Vintage hanging shell light fixture is very collectable. Hope you didn't chuck it. Might have offset the cost of the dumpsters.

They probably did. They don't strike me as been too sophisticated or being into vintage knowledge. Wasteful indeed.

But I love how breathable y'all made it in the end. It became so much more approachable to any type of buyer. That kitchen/open concept in the main areas would sell me. ALSO THE PECAN TREE! Sad to see all the art go, but now it's a clean template for some new, happy owners :) Those Castlery pieces are fantastic, too, it turned out to feel like a perfect balance of modern mixed with Scandinavian to me, which is my favorite type of decor

[@edvalann]

Looks amazing. Love your personalities 🌷 Just a friendly tip, but you could benefit from looking at rug sizes. The one in the living room needs to be triple the size, and have at least the front legs on it. In the bedroom it should be turned so it has more fabric on the sides for the feets. Pull it out a bit toward the end on the bed. Pinterest has great illustrations. It's just an eyesore when the rest is just so great 👍

[@TJo-vb8tg]

Your tip is spot on!

[@hiltonluckey9776]

Great standard flip style. I loved the part where you almost had a lateral idea.

[@Avotts]

first thoughts: the previous tenants are possibly Central American. Ive watched many videos and travel blogs. These textures are very common I have just started watching this video. i am sure that you ripped all the art down. i liked the kitchen the backsplash was very nice, I would have definitely left the tub surround and changed it to a very decorative shower. Possibly the same in the hall bath.. The outside looks naked, you should have left some plants.

[@alicekbonilla]

I love the look of the lighter wood and color palette! Feels a little warmer and cozier for a modern look.

[@tracibell2693]

I love the sage green and charcoal gray! Such beautiful contrast of colors!

[@Alinasinging]

This house and tiles/shells will hunt me in my dreams. I think it’s one of your bests flips. Not a big fan of the outside, lack of door in the main bathroom and small walk in closets there but besides that everything is great.

[@k.jackson7983]

😍I loved the stone on the shower walls! I've never thought of or seen anything like it & will definitely try to incorporate that into my bathroom remodel. The vibe I'm going for would pair perfectly with that stone choice!!!

[@lynnbetts4332]

Personally, I love tile floors throughout. But then, I have pets, so I need something waterproof and easy to clean. NO carpet. When I had a custom house built, I put ceramic tile floors throughout. Even in the closets. Also makes it super easy to change color schemes if you want. I see very little difference between stepping out on wood floors and tile floors in bedrooms. That's what rugs are for. Tile floors that look like wood are the best of both worlds. Look like wood but wear like tile.
