I can't believe there was a sneak peek of SARAH'S OWN WEDDING in this episode! WHOA!

I’m trying to figure out the church! What ecclesiastical body was it!?? That I wonder what faith she is of.

[@jos9569]

I'm a pretty opinionated person, and very hands-on where it comes to my home. I'd give Sarah my keys and come back in a couple of months. She's THAT good.

[@CarlaLR74]

I love this kitchen, not very big but Sarah worked magic. I knew there was an episode that had a clip of Sarah’s wedding. Thank you abode. Bailey the dog is the real star.

I didn't realize her marriage was new too like her show!

These are the SR shows that I like the best. Meeting the client, seeing the challenges, and working within a limited budget. Love those counter tops!

Sarah is SOOO awesome.

Love Sarah even when I don't like her design choices I like her designs..lol

[@juliananton7800]

I remember seeing this episode ONCE in spring 2011 on HGTV US!!! I have literally wanted to watch it HUNDREDS of times since. It is everything I remember in terms of Tim being the most adorable and polite homeowner ever! I also LOVE Kate on this one! She had great energy and patience along with good collaboration with Sarah. So, to save why not go with IKEA cabinetry over Altima Kitchens? Stainless steel or slate instead of Marble for counters? A different kind of big box store flooring instead of custom showroom stone??? Maybe this is me watching way too many FABULOUS Sarah 101 kitchens and even some Design Inc Kitchens where the budget cut into her material choices and were anything but basic or mundane when she customized the look.

[@CC-si3cr]

I thgt this show was early 2000s. I just knew this episode was 20 years old. It really speaks to Sarah's designs as being timeless bc this kitchen reno was over 10 years ago and it still stands as a crown jewel.

[@juliananton7800]

@@CC-si3cr yes it aired in 2006 per the credits. I caught it as a re run

The best thing ever to watch and be inspired by on a Sunday night, thanks Abode! 😁

[@kathyorourke9273]

Lovely as usual! Everything she does is perfect. Even the blue stuff. Blue is my least favorite color but even the blue is always lovely.

[@angelayoung5798]

Now that I know this is likely Kate's kitchen too I look back at she and Sarah's interactions and I wonder why Kate's opinion wasn't the driving force VS Sarah's. Sarah really is a cut above designer wise in her own office anyway. Interesting. Great kitchen but I am still not so sure the dinning room will meet the needs. Seems smallish.

[@judithhatch6175]

very good, never saw this episode, thanks!!

[@jmpe.5289]

LOVE it and thank youuuuuuu Abode!!!!🥰 I wasn't sure how they were going to pull it off considering the budget, but WOW like all Design Inc. transformations the result is beautiful. (Extra bonus is I've not seen this Design Inc. episode before!😍) Thank you again, Abode! You transform my days with these!❤❤❤

[@harrisond8132]

Looks nice but the placement of the ovens doesn't look functional at all, being that far from the cooktop. I would have put a range in place of the cooktop and storage where the ovens are.

[@mka46479]

Beautiful! 🤩

[@realgirl2704]

Fantastic. ❤❤❤

[@heathersmith8549]

Love the end result. Why didn’t the future significant other have any input on their future kitchen?

[@dnllmaurer1]

This is a nice reno with elegant, muted colors. I'd rather see more of the kitchen & skip some b-roll of dog chewing up stuff, lady vacuuming or setting the table & Tim carrying various building materials. Show more close ups of materials used & provide a slower pan of the rooms from different angles. At the end compare the before & after to notice the dramatic improvement. Opening up walls in this 80 yo home gave it modern appeal but blended well with the original vintage character.

[@jeanlaubenthal698]

Nice Reno and I expected a bit more masculine look for window treatments and he said he wanted to keep the formal dining room …but I thought that meant being able to seat more people at a table vs formal decor. Use of a well made tabletop extender might be an option for him if he needs more table seating.

[@jmpe.5289]

yes I agree... if the dining area has the space for it (& if he has more chairs!)

[@legoqueen2445]

Come on! We all knew that wall was going to come down the moment Tim said there was a dining room on the other side!

[@whattheelle360]

Tim is Kate’s husband. They are a cute couple!

[@mapsman5513]

I didn't know that. May I ask where you discovered that fact? Thank you.

[@angelayoung5798]

Well THAT explains why this fiancée was never given a moment to discuss HER wants!!

Why isn't Tim's future wife having some input ? This will be HER kitchen.

[@tonymcneil978]

I was thinking the same thing. At least include her.

[@tmofedm1]

[@clivemilner]

As a kitchen supplier, I would ask the husband if he was doing the cooking! They then handed over decisions to their wives. Thank goodness.

[@whattheelle360]

The wife is Kate the co designer.

[@mrsdashwood9700]

Exactly!!! He’s not including her in ANYTHING! Wow! Big red flag imo.

[@KattEyl]

How do people know that Kate and Tim are a couple??

[@cunajo1]

I've a quick question: are Tim and Kate still married? I reviewed her Instagram page, and he is (to me, at least ... ) noticeably absent.

[@CC-si3cr]

I think it's safe to say Bailey is long gone, but I wonder if Tim is still married to the same gal. I know he had some flaxen blond haired kids.

[@juliananton7800]

Someone says he married Kate. That explains why the dog looks like the one they have hanging in the office.

[@karenhoward8542]

What happens of his fiancee hates green?!

[@asifyoucare]

I guarantee he will get his money back when he sells the house -- probably already has...

[@matta8931]

I don't like that green plaid.

[@alexsilva-vn7jc]

It´s a nice kitchen, but how is this "on a budget?" The budget went out the window early on. A friendly loan manager, a stressed out client and dog, calacatta marble and 3 months of take-out do not a budget make! Change the title!

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Budget doesn’t mean no money though lol

[@davidferguson6507]

Beyond a doubt, Sarah Richardson is the single most over-rated designer on the planet. At best, she is a decorator who has never created anything that can be considered unique, and her manipulation of form and pattern is mundane and stodgy.
