Maria is such a class act. I appreciate her not criticizing or mocking the old design of the house. This was once someone’s home. Just because it’s outdated there is no need to make fun of design choices. More Maria please.

[@lisafield4154]

I love Rebecca and her work however I found both ladies were very critical of the previous homeowner's style. It's a shame because there are easy ways not to criticize at all or just reword comments. It breaks my heart to think of someone watching the home they once loved torn apart on national television. Anyway, another great video nonetheless.

[@soph7984]

Hi Rebecca - any chance you could show some of the work in progress? Would love to watch how construction changes the layouts and design, and understand why some decisions are made. Looking forward to the finale! 😊

[@carlyjans1686]

great idea! i would love to see updates of this amazing property.

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

19:23 ~ Don't do a barn door! Not in that home!! Do a pocket door. Looking forward to the follow-up.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

I see your reason for the suggestion... let's wait and see what Maria comes up with. I'm sure she'll hit it out of the park! :-) RR

[@Insightlyapp]

These two little pocket dynamo's teaming up are just a joy to watch together. Maria Barry is very talented to have such vision on such a scale. 👑👯

[@sherrekarl9640]

The old design was top of the line, back in the day. Times change and so does design. Looking forward to the final reveal.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Agreed. The house is beautiful inits own right... but an update in design style will certainly bring it into a new and beautiful season of life :-) Rr

[@annam.rodriguez2890]

Love you and Maria together 🎉 such a talented and funny Designers. Can’t wait for the reveal 🥰

[@jeannette7243]

Oh the potential! I admire Maria's courage to buy this home and tackle it. Six months? She's a miracle worker.

[@evelina2363]

This place is fabulous, I can’t wait to see how Maria will redesign it

[@patmagz9004]

Sister from another mister! You compliment each other equally. This project will be breath taking when done. It sits on a beautiful piece of property. I liked to be the little mouse in the house running from room to room . Cheers ladies

[@aflyonthewall1963]

I enjoyed seeing you and Marie together. But you my dear Rebecca will always be the ice on the cake.

[@Robert-bg7bl]

🎵 How do you solve problems like Maria … and Rebecca? 🎼 I felt like I was actually in the minds of two interior designers. Wow! So much talent. But I jumped out and decided I needed a drink🍸 ASAP!!!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

LOL Robert ;-) Cheers RR

[@joanmenis1610]

I think Maria is home is probably the most beautiful home I have ever ever seen. She is brilliant.

[@biggyziggy5777]

I liked that Maria didn’t criticise or mock the design of the house … unlike Rebecca !

[@tonic2335]

You and Maria are “The Dynamic Duo” Keep these videos coming Love❤you two!!!!

[@carolvillanueva488]

Such talented human being . I admire you both. Keep it up!❤🙏

[@lindanorrell7812]

The two of you are unstoppable with ideas Can’t wait to see when it’s completed I’m sure it will be breathtaking

[@donnajohansson4105]

A lovely home in the making. Beautiful windows. With Maria in charge it is sure to be beautiful ❤

[@0-kinslow580]

I enjoy your content so much and look forward to each new episode. My friend, Rebecca, please consider clothing yourself in modesty. You are so beautiful and talented and there is no need to draw attention to your body and bring disrespect to yourself. ♥💕🥰

[@traceyg2364]

Glad Maria had the class not to mock the previous owners design.

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

This house did feel like a resort, but a flip is really needed. Its going to be exciting!! Great video Rebecca!

[@shortymalloy8027]

I adore both you and maria. You have such wonderful taste. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched your episodes with maria, it is over 20. You both inspire me so much. I cannot wait to see the reveal.

[@jasonloucks323]

Love, love, love…definitely what dreams are made of!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Hey there Jayson... Isn't this a dream project!!! Wish you could see it in real life :-) You'd love the challenges and the reality of such an amazing home to transform! And can you imagine doing all of what Maria envisions... in 6 months!!! I K N O W RIGHT!? :-) RR

[@cynthiahoward2844]

Love the video! Love Maui! Cannot wait to see the reveal of this amazing home!

[@traceybradshaw]

Our home was by far not on the same scale (5 beds, 3 baths), but when we bought it, it was very “European/tuscan” with custom drapery in every room, outdated granite, lots of terracotta and gold/brass everything (but not nice gold). When we started to demo I actually felt a bit guilty tearing out what would have been expensive fittings in their day. We are almost done (2 years later) and have refurbished every single room and space in our home. There were some things we couldn’t afford to change (stair railings and 2 arched windows), but we definitely dragged our house from the mid 90’s to the mid 2020’s! I will have to chat to the hubby about a one on one session for a bit of styling advice.

[@09honest]

I’m glad she’s keeping the green tile roof. It definitely adds some charm to this large estate. 😊

[@phyllisdrinnen1837]

Can not wait to see what this re-imagined, re-designed home will look like. It's going to be spectacular. So appreciate Maria and you, Rebecca, bringing us along. I always get great ideas and inspiration. ❤

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

I look forward to seeing the home renovations completed.

[@mariareyesrosado425]

Looking forward to the reveal ❤

[@elipsis6700]

CANNOT WAIT!!!!

[@deborahhumphrey1359]

Can't wait to see it finished, so glad we got to see the before. Such vision!

[@vidform]

Before you start work on a home, do you bring in a structural engineer to make sure you don't compromise the structural integrity of the house? If so, can you do a video on what to look for in a structural engineer? There are some things I'd like to do to my condo, but I don't have the blueprints. Love your channel.

[@mariale7821]

What a BIG project, and im so excited to see the transformation. It’s going to be beautiful.

[@bevfast865]

...cant wait to see the reveal of this home!

[@downlow0075]

Can't wait to see the reveal of modern maui❤

[@carinslayton3147]

❤Maria and Rebecca. The vision and property!! So here for it!!

[@annedavidson3993]

Love this before video. Can't wait to see the after!!!

[@tombrett5553]

Can’t wait to see ❤x and the lift 😂

[@diannerobert5520]

Love your videos!!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Glad you like them! Thanks Dianne 👍🏻 RR

[@ErnestinaGuzman-wk5jx]

Wao, esperaré pacientemente la renovación. Ustedes juntas son el diamante pulido en el diseño y decoración🇩🇴

[@timilisafogal6990]

Wow, I think you could fit my whole houe in the master suite! I'm looking forward to seeing the renovations

[@brandonbeyer8797]

Can’t WAIT to see the final results!

[@Carol-td5jc]

Maria is so talented! I can actually use a few of her ideas on a very small scale for my home! I enjoy watching all your videos, Rebecca. I learned a lot from you! Thank you

[@vickijackson9115]

Soooo fun to watch you two doing projects. Can’t wait to see the reveal.

[@pricedesign8805]

I am looking forward to the finished remodel, I know it will be remarkable. I wasn’t sure about the barn door.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

I get what you are saying ... I think barn doors have seen their better days. I do however see the functional reason for going there... I think it depends on the style and finish she chooses. One thing I'm sure of... if Maria see's it in her vision... it will work! I'm as anxious to see this home completed! You can be sure... I'll take you guys along for the stunning REVEAL! ;-) RR

[@AllThingsVon1277]

I enjoyed this video of two besties enjoying a walk through demo. ❤

[@tvalivation4758]

LOVE seeing the process.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Oh good!!! I was hoping you all would enjoy this highly unusual, behind the scenes look at how a good designer looks at the possibilities from the start! :-) Of course, now you guys will be even more vested in the project once it's REVEALED! 6 months my friend... 6 months! :-) RR

[@BloomfieldVideos]

That was so fun to watch!

[@IOSARBX]

Rebecca Robeson, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

AWWWWEEE ... IOSARBX That makes me happy! Thank You :-) RR

[@shirleyadkins4254]

[@iannone39]

[@samtakhandhia1012]

Can’t wait to see the transformation. Great vlog as always ❤

[@pman2916]

I can't wait to see the final results🙏...6 months isn't that long away😊 Whoever left all that stuff worth thousands, especially the wine obviously don't care because money's no object😮

[@lizcuero9065]

Yay!!!! This is awesome. God just turned my internet on.

[@rebeccarobeson1]

LOL liz, I'm delighted GOD is on our side... I love when that happens! :-) RR

[@reginabasart5080]

I can’t wait to see what you ladies do.

[@MHand623]

You and Maria work so well together. I'm looking forward to seeing the reveal. I know it's going to be amazing.

[@cynthiag3065]

WOW 😮 That is a big project. I look forward to seeing the final result. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. 😊

[@pamelahoward543]

I love the chandelier!!

[@sharonkyle1954]

Rebecca, you need to start doing flips also!! Can't wait to see the end result of Maria's flip...she has done beautiful work in the past!!

[@joedevitto6113]

Beautiful home. cant wait to see it all done its going to be Amazing for sure ... Maria is so nice and talented love when you both do these shows. its so much fun and creative ~

[@olgaglushkovainteriordesigner]

Love your videos!

[@rawsunnata829]

Curves in designs are wonderful ideas!

[@jayfereira6200]

I would more than love to see the 2 of you collaborate.On another project i'm flipping or whatever the case may be you two together would kill.

[@susandelongis885]

Great video of little ladies with big ideas flying! Love to see Maria and what a fabulous house this will be. I especially love the glorious gardens and pool, and Maria’s ideas to really open up the house to showcase these spectacular views. She and her husband must have tremendous discipline to get a house like this to perfection and then sell it. Granted it’s a great income stream, but I’d have a hard time leaving this pool! 😊. Buona fortuna, maestra! Can’t wait to see the masterpiece! Thank you Rebecca! 💕🌷💕

[@KarolinaRamirezV]

Can’t wait to see it finished! The video should be 2hrs long!! ❤❤❤

[@lucindabaca549]

So nice to see you both. I just love you, girls, so beautiful ❤

[@loretta7851]

You both are a great team

[@TGSHomeandGarden]

The two of you together is cinematic gold! You guys should totally do a project together and film it.

[@laureneharrison8897]

I don’t want to wish away time, but I certainly look forward to seeing the finished product!! You can tell those design decisions were a big deal back in the day, but it will be fun to see it brought into present day. Gorgeous property in a beautiful place, good choice 🙌🏻

[@ambermarieandcompany]

You’re the Best!!!!!

[@vivienmcnaul109]

This house was top notch in its day.

[@marysmith861]

I loved this video! It brought me so much joy, I may watch it again for good measure. You are a great team. I look forward to seeing the finished project. In six months... Wow. I think some teaser videos are in order. Thank you both!

[@mariaramirez4357]

I’ve loved all of Maria’s design, one can only imagine all that travels in that brilliant brain. Hopefully all demo or removed materials are salvaged, if I lived close I would come get.

[@kellylarson3020]

Love it all 💞

[@vivienmcnaul109]

Love you fun ladies ❤😊

[@exiromero7597]

Very nice house l can't wait for the final result 🎉 Rebecca you and Maria both have a good talent ! l love Home Design too. Good luck with your new project!!

[@sherriehetzel6679]

Gorgeous house it will be great

[@BRENDAYhernandez]

Beautiful house ♥️ I can imagine cleaning this big house 😳 but I will loved Maria take me jajaja

[@joyceschneider8377]

Just heard about all the storms going through central us. Hope you are all safe and the trees stayed up. Also your daughter and family in Nashville are safe. See you on Thursday. Thank you.

[@ellenmorley6393]

Hi Rebecca Marie’s house is gonna look stunning she has a big job on her hands good luck Marie xx

[@everythingbeautiful58]

So much fun I can’t wait ❤

[@vickiescholl9453]

Thank you

[@icebrad100]

You have to do a progress video. It would be highly watched and it would keep us excited about Modern Maui!

[@heathwatson1185]

Hey RR…planning on sending pics for future DSessions next week😊

[@rawsunnata829]

Chandelier is excellent! I can take this beautiful piece of art! You probably would hang up there some minimalistic bulb?

[@PriyaDiaries1]

Very nice concept. I am an interior designer too…

[@territ1231]

Look at the height of the ceiling by the fireplace!!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

R I G H T!? It's sooooo tall yet sooo awkward. I know Maria will have a great solution. We will all be saying... "Is That The Same House???"

[@claireeddy1141]

Hi Rebecca, I think that you and Maria can mimic being Carol Merrill. She was the Lady Model on the TV Show, "Let's Make A Deal" hosted by Monty Hall, during the 1960's / 1970's.

[@China-Tique]

Honestly nothing makes me smile as much as a new vid upload on this channel... So cheerful and funny and insightful as all getout

[@elizabethsolomon2864]

Since you’re getting rid of the columns inside, will you keep all the columns outside? Such a huge remodel can’t fathom all the work and decisions that will go into this!

[@rebeccarobeson1]

Good question Elizabeth... I think I asked her about that but I can't remember what she said...LOL... oops :-) RR

[@biasanto]

I don’t understand the joke about the entry chandelier. It’s not ugly at all. I personally love it. I hate when designers makes fun of traditional design… very upsetting. I didn’t like this video At all….act professional not like teenagers….Maria is trying to be polite and not making rude comments…Rebecca is trying too hard, cringe

[@doublescorpions]

Totally agree!

[@reginadawson4179]

I Love Love seeing you 2 brilliant Designer's together...Even though you are wonderful alone and as she is...l get 2 for the price of one... Dynamic Duo...😂❤

[@janicetribbiani7535]

Rebecca’s personal style is so good! I’d love to see her with a somewhat softer, less angular hairstyle at this point~ her clothes are amazing and she always looks so put together.

[@polynesia8733]

tbh..the original kitchen was fine...very 50's diner..cute

[@instalookinteriors3797]

The kids chair you referred to in the bedroom looks like an old psychologist chair 😆😆 can’t wait to see the reveal

[@rifkyklein5066]

Can you please give Maria a mic, too? I’d really like to hear her, as well. Love your work, Rebecca!

[@user-vg5tm5dt4c]

❤

[@rgw5830]

Rebecca. It's such a blessing to have dear friends like Maria - treasure her. Could you tell me the brand of your beautiful blouse ? Many thanks.
