[@twstf8905]

When they're talking about the house back in it's prime, back in the 70's when it was a designer showcase, the aforementioned "designer" was the house's previous owner Sandra, who was an extremely successful and talented interior designer for the better part of the last half century in the Greensboro area. Yes, it's the same "kooky old lady" from the Hoarders episode lol and, initially she was the house's main proprietor and caretaker. Not only responsible for the years of disrepair and neglect that was so heavily featured on the popular reality show, but also for the first round of restorative work performed on the property. Bringing the place back to it's former glory for the first time, when she made the purchase. Before eventually falling on hard times and unwittingly allowing it to become overgrown and obscured again herself. All that being said, it's really Michael and Eric who are the real protagonists in this story. Just by virtue of the compassion and understanding they showed Sandra when it was time for them to take over the responsibility, as opposed to kicking her out in the cold with nothing to show for all her years of hard work and misfortune, like the typical modern-day real estate moguls might. And, they definitely deserve every good thing that happens going forward in their lives. 👍😇

[@lilmisspriss2367]

When she bought the home they mentioned she restored it to be modern for that time frame. (1970s-ish) mike and eric are restoring it to its original state or as close as possible.

[@Robert08010]

I think she was already mad. We just watched the situation push her into acting out.

[@geminiinc1042]

Hollywood is an empty soul that will exploit anyone for ratings and profit. They did nothing to help or resolve that woman's situation, all they did was antagonize her and create drama, and in the end she basically drove away with a truckload of junk and $14,000 from an auction company. I'll never watch that shitty show again after seeing that. The only good thing that came out of it was those guys did a wonderful job of getting the home restored.

I was literally in tears bawling after watching the hoarders episode about this home. Sandra losing almost everything she owned and the compassion this couple showed her during the process of her having to come to grips with the fact that this home she lived in and took care of for over 40 years wasn't hers anymore. So glad they restored the home and are happily living in it with their family. And they shared the restoration process with neighbors and their community. Like they said, "Remember we cry when we're happy and when we're sad." To see their daughters running around the front yard like they envisioned. So glad it turned out to be a happy ending.

As sad as it was the was sandra neglected it I'm sure glad she didnt let her husband tear it down for money

Her husband left her when it became fiscally not viable and she wouldn't sell. Then she borrowed $2.1-million against it to feed her hoard. smh

[@pmn2821]

The home turned out beautiful. I was happy to see the finished design incorporated traditional design first with a minimum of contemporary flair. I was really surprised to hear that the house has only two fireplaces.

[@puccipower]

It is truly mind boggling for me to understand what happened to Sandra in her mind to allow the hoard to become so large in this home. Watching the Hoarders episode was devastating and it didn't even touch the surface. This home deserves a two hour long special. The tours online don't do it justice and I can tell. It has never been fully shown to the public online. Sandra and the Designers Showcase clearly did so many tasteful and colorful updates to the home. I didn't realize that so much of the wood was actually meant to be painted. Wow. Just a labor of love this home has been. Structurally it has stayed so strong!

[@Aiko2-26-9]

I hope this place survived the 2020 Pandemic when they probably could have guests. It's a beautiful house with so much character, and what an amazing history.

[@imrickjamesbiiiiitchhh6161]

Yes, they were BEYOND kind and compassionate to that woman. This couple deserves the best in life, they have such positive outlook on life and good energy, that's probably why everyone wants to help them and be a part of this amazing project.

I come from a family of hoarders, my sister being the worst. My sister had witnessed our maternal grandmother die right in front of her eyes when she was 13. Never dealing with my grandmothers death, she began hoarding old things that reminded her of our grandmother. She has sought help but still to this day hoards. She can’t help herself. Hoarding is an issue just like people that drink, do drugs etc.

@ min. 34:03 the resemblance between Sandra the Hoarder and Ms. Price is strikingly similar. In fact, it would be interesting to know when Ms. Price passed away, and when Sandra was born.

[@MsBornfree123]

You're right.

[@ellebelle8515]

The story of this house is also the story of the lives of families. The house was originally owned by generations of the Price family, then given to the church who in turn sold it to Sandra and her husband. She had forty years to enjoy it before it was sold to young men who could give it the restoration that honors the work of so many great artisans who gave it birth almost 100 years ago. I hope that Sandra has found peace with the new life her former home has found.

These guys must be worth more than a few million. That aside, I saw the hoarding episode and these two guys are two of the sweetest, kindest, people. They were so patient with the previous owner. They were not obligated to do one thing to help her. They tried so hard, but she refused to accept that she no longer owned the home and even as they struggled to help her, she was plotting to undermine their taking ownership of the home. I don’t feel sorry for her when it comes to losing everything, because the two men gave her every opportunity to take her things. Her stubbornness was her downfall.
