Tabitha and Paul Rawlinson want to double the size of their small country cottage in Kent, and creating more space for their young family is high on the list of priorities, but blending the old with the new is the dream. With both an extension and restoration project on their hands, the couple face a challenging build. Sarah also meets Jim and Elaine who are looking to update their uninspiring 1960s semi to make room for their growing family. The problem is, they only have a tiny budget and a very specific timescale.

[@cillafontana4536]

Elaine's washing machine? Give me strength. Where do they find these people?

[@gamaceoulapprentiessage5716]

Thank you! Ridiculous

[@carlawiberg6282]

Elaine's laundry, too ...

[@FigaroHey]

The purple hollywood ensuite doors are ghastly. What were they thinking? English country cottage meets Barbie's dream house.

[@sergiorivera669]

Wow, hats off to Jim (and all his mates). Great job, that guy is a hero!!

[@li-anderker55]

Hopefully Elaine pulls back on the bitchy snips and digs. Little wonder he wants space of his own.

[@andreaandrea6716]

£50k??? That's insane! I AM impressed.

[@joanbell1248]

Worse when he said he reduced the budget to 25,000. What! I know he is an electrician but to use his friends on their free time hopefully he is prepared to give back time to them as well.

[@andreaandrea6716]

The thing I've learnt from watching a plethora of these shows, is the importance of a Construction Site Manager; the person who COORDINATES EVERYTHING, so that materials arrive BEFORE your workers, (so you're not paying them to sit around, waiting for supplies)... who sees to it that things are done properly ... and sees to it that the build comes in ON BUDGET. It is a REAL/ACTUAL job with major consequences.

[@cherrybarb4651]

That lavender cabinet wall looks like a Disney train car. They did everything else so beautifully - why not have the doors a lovely wood like the beams?

[@chantallooyen7210]

I hope they’ve refurbished it since then. The upholstered panel padding also odd.

[@PageantExpert]

I was hoping a lighter color like the walls to conceal it more. Or if they really wanted color, they should have matched it with their olive green kitchen cabinets..

[@sunnyskyez]

Ive so enjoyed this series, and have learned you should have at least 50% more cash over your original budget as surprises always pop up. Sarah does a wonderful job hosting and giving out great advice and the benefits of her years of experience for free. I wish we had a Sarah in the U.S.. Its fascinating to watch the build and have Sarah with her tablet gadget show a better option to a room change. Im sad that this series went no farther, I could really do with more.

[@PageantExpert]

This is probably one of my favorite episodes from this show. I love a good restoration project. And for some reason, I hate extensions that look totally in contrast to the existing building. These 2 houses demonstrated that matching the extension with the original character of the house is the most sensible thing to do when doing these kinds of project while still having the modern conveniences & features inside. Jim was such a hardworking man! Kuddos to him. And to Paul & Tabitha for respecting the old cottage & the whole neighborhood. Although I despise that purple cabinet in the bedroom. Overall, great transformation for both homes.

[@andreaandrea6716]

The lavender wall in the oak beamed bedroom, with puffy white insets in the doors!!!!! "NOooooooooooooo!!!" OMG... It's like a bad frame around a picture; all you see is the frame.

[@Tortise02]

'Elaine's washing, Elaine's washing machine' ?!

[@penelopesparrow]

I know I'm like.. do you have your own laundry somewhere else? 🙄

[@inesolujic2534]

Jim and Elaine were a really lovely couple. Jim did so much on that home! Wow :)

[@fredowen5103]

Hey

[@SD-hs2pk]

Definitely needed to see more of the finished houses.

[@glowingheartoluwadamilola3457]

Jim is such a sweet man doing amazing things for his family

[@si_vis_amari_ama]

Nice to see a sympathetic extension to the lovely Kent cottage. I've never understood that weirdo idea to have the xtn a completely different ("modern") design.

[@b_uppy]

It is extremely well done. Lovely home.

[@alisonjennings5053]

🤔 Elaine's washing??? Elaine's washing machine??? 😮

[@patriciakelly69]

I love their new baby and the house is just amazing. It’s on another level. Well done 👍.

[@patriciakelly69]

So glad Tabitha and Paul got their home finished, it’s beautiful. X

[@mapatterson173]

✨💖✨What a pretty, pretty baby. Beautiful children in both families. “The cat, the dog…and Jim.” So glad that after all his work he got himself a bit of space. Beautiful addition. Lovely people Wonderful friends to lend a hand. Everybody happy. The buttercream and green colors in the kitchen sing country cottage. I love this show.

[@starnejme6902]

Lovely people. The man with the garage is particularly funny.

[@sroberts605]

He was! A diamond in the rough.

[@sallynhlanhla]

She ressembles Drew Barrymore. Nice!

[@serenakoleno9338]

Loved the see-through fireplace. Best part of the redo imo. Don't think the timber ceiling was worth the cost, both time and money wise. The ceiling could have been open, and supports painted white. These shows are great because they educate people about real issues with remodeling and building. Must have a generous contingency fund, and a Plan B, when things go wrong.

[@si_vis_amari_ama]

The oak-beam ceiling is a very desirable feature to the Brits. The cost is spread over the longevity of the house, plus it would pay for itself in resale value, and a bit extra.

[@sandrasmith3451]

Wow! This guy Jim is amazing! What a great guy!!!

[@ageofechochambers9469]

1 had a supportive wife The other had a nagging belittling wife . Next time a female feels their partners are not stepping up its probably the female sabotaging the relationship without even knowing it . The result here are clear which wife was better .

[@gladitsnotme]

@@ageofechochambers9469 Take your OBVIOUS issues with women and go back to 4chan. Both couples were lovely, you just hate women.

[@roni2977]

Nice.... I like the house with the beem problem, I just cant believe how many things went wrong and how hard they had to fight to simply get what they paid for!

[@ginacrusco234]

Sure, I like the big, impressive, more costly build. But those who make it work on a smaller budget through toil, grit and ingenuity, impress me more.

[@user-mx5ej9zc2p]

Kudos to you Jim the extension looks really good and your daughters are so beautiful!

[@LiterarySnob]

PURPLE!!! She painted the wardrobes PURPLE!!!!! Ugh!! Why, why, why!!!

[@mcstaal]

Pink was outsold..

[@jbdjessa2]

Ya that was a odd option

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

I'm going way out on a limb here.....far left field....bear with me....wait for it....... Maybe she likes purple.

[@Nietieismyname]

@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power 🤣

[@debrap947]

Gorgeous house and reno but the hideous purple wall of "wardrobes" really decreases the classy look of the master bedroom.

[@caseyflorida]

Agreed! Terrible color choice.

[@pinkpingu1189]

I love the colour!

[@mindimartian9821]

Looks like someone parked a purple subway car in a gorgeous cathedral. Yuck!!!

[@catherinenelson4162]

Sarah's example was stained wood, and looked absolutely great! But the purple? Not so much!

[@PageantExpert]

The stained wood would look heavy & dated. Maybe a lighter painted color that matches the wall would be a better choice to make it disappear & blend more in the background.

[@wikihamilton2327]

Sarah you do a great job hosting the show but more importantly to me, helping the folks thru some tricky spots. Great show.

[@emilys9782]

That cottage kitchen is to die for! Too bad they botched the master ensuite.

[@hurst-cs2jh]

Hello Emily, how are you doing?

[@bosse641]

What a lovely home they made in Kent. Beautiful.

[@living_water-]

That fire place with two very young kids gives me anxiety.

[@ReduxGarage]

Elaine’s washer and dryer?

[@unicornzalltheway8064]

Hats off to you Jim, what a beautiful kitchen ! Your hard work and your mates definitely paid off !

[@juliepatchouli3944]

Whoa the purple ensuite doors, what were they thinking. Otherwise both places look amazing.

[@starnejme6902]

Jim is a hero. Job well done.

[@simonebooyse6927]

I love this show

[@sujithpayyanur9624]

Will be nice, if you could show the furniture in the 3d plan. We could visualize even more :)

[@li-anderker55]

Paul and Tabitha did a phenomenal build, gorgeous! But that mauve wardrobe wall in the master suite looks like walmart.

[@jeffrazak]

That purple was a wrong choice. Made the room cheap and tacky. Should have opted for a normal wood stain to complement the amazing beamwork. But it's their home after all. Who am I to say?, 😁 And the other couple only spent 50K? That's phenomenal. Great job and great family.

[@unicornzalltheway8064]

House with the oak beam is so gorgeous ! Absolutely out of an Enid Bylton book !

[@allydea]

In all fairness, the "old" version was not only dark and small but also very disorganised and it costs nothing to tidy-up ones room. The new house will soon look the same if cluttered.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Babies and Building! It is JUST WEIRD how connected these two things seem to be. Anyone out there trying to get pregnant??? START BUILDING!!

[@anuarfaizalofficial]

That purple is offensive!

[@pockethole1900]

That dutch door in the alcove was so sweet.

[@gisaguimaraes7173]

Fantástico! 3 x 👏👏👏

[@fredowen5103]

Hey

[@lorand-edmondiszlai9416]

I want some color... ok, purple it is.

[@sarahbano582]

Hi I want ti find out is there anyway we can get in contact with this channel?

[@mayaytpmaker738]

I need major help with my apartment.. THE entire building There's cracks. Bowing Ceilings. Wider splits/gaps on the top floor than the 1st floor Water Damage MOLD And bad creeking stairs And 1 door that's almost impossible to open

[@ariasworld9991]

@homestyle Will the series continue? #homestyle #beeny #doubleyourhouseforhalfthemoney

[@sbegum246]

Unwatchable, too may ads, it's ridiculous.

[@sherunswithscissors]

Seems to depend on where you are - I only get one short one - the content creators don’t decide.

[@sharonloomis5264]

Gorgeous

[@minkotter1242]

That's the opposite of "precision engineering". May be you should reveal the name of the company.... It's buyer beware taken to an exteme

[@iyerrage]

And I thought only we in India had such shoddy construction crew...... Nice to see we are in rather auguste company

[@serenakoleno9338]

Loved the dedication shown with creating the 50K addition. Hope his wife truly appreciated it. Stressful process while pregnant, but she needs to relax a bit, imo. It is his home, too, and he is busting his butt to build her dream home and gave up garage space to boot.

[@agatanakonieczny2213]

He built it not for her, but for them and their children :) It sounds as if you believe her is the house ("He built it for her") and he has only a (partly-given up) garage as "private space". Imagine she has no "private space" for her at all. Everything she "has" is shared. I hope you do not count open kitchen as hers ;) They both respect their needs and understand what having a family is, I guess. Love that family! Very inspiring!

[@joannahampton3808]

Jim & Elaine, what a great couple!

[@onlyme1373]

Meal times are a lot of work for Elaine because she runs around after her grown ass husband. Bad vibes

[@andreaandrea6716]

Bringing a NEW BABY into a construction site???

[@karankaran-us9vm]

whether living in the slums or decent hoods, all have their stresses

[@laurabilling3561]

Do they have a window in their closet? That en suite could have been done so much better...

[@marota3065]

Jim did a lot of work. Great! But... the isle in the kitchen is too big. The corner is too close to the wall, it's odd.

[@silversteel6312]

How dare the working class gatecrash middle class aspirations!

[@joannahampton3808]

Why would they install ugly purple & white vinyl padded wardrobes in that beautiful bedroom addition....it doesn't make sense

[@fashion_for_tokmem_is]

Sorry to say but there's something with the presenter which irritates me 🤔

[@cappsginny699]

Sarah Beeny - it's one of her many shows!

[@davidawilliams252]

We women tolerate too much...not right. really not right. What a selfish man she lives with.

[@issievdhorst]

SEEN. Bringing a new born baby into that!!!!!!!?? Poor thing! help. Timber DISASTERS!!!!! :(

[@jacquisoussi8391]

The most awful fitted wardrobe/en suite doors.

[@sarahrobinson410]

If man wants a big garage bigger the better i say it can always be used for other things if money comes..

[@onlyme1373]

Selfish men have more daughters. My dad was an arse and had 5 girls. That man is upset about having an all female family but it's his own fault. If he wasn't selfish he wouldn't be upset by it

[@jesusislord3280]

No it's not necessary... daughters or sons all are a blessing

[@toodlesoops7761]

Okay, all these people are adorable, however, their view on how many kids to have is a bit sad -- I'm a firm believer in two people, one child and help save the planet - oh well, just my opinion

[@rhkips]

So many of these episodes wouldn't exist if people used condoms. And I don't understand why, when faced with such a tight deadline and limited budget, these people are wasting their time and money putting down solid brick walls when you could timber-frame and stone veneer the additions in a third of the time for half the price... Beautiful end product, but dear god, a little common sense or a quick chat with an actual qualified GC would go a long way...

[@chronicfish]

Poor Jim, he's drowning in estrogen ...

[@sherunswithscissors]

And teeth.

[@morkheim957]

And ‘Elaine’s’ washing...

[@marcnawo3533]

Too many ruddy children; more gays, please.

[@sherunswithscissors]

Have you been out lately?
