I Can't Stop Buying Things Now My House Is A Mess | Hoarders Get Your House In Order | Only Human

[@jauipop]

This interior designer is the worst sort of designer - the moment she started pushing her own ideas without really listening to the client shows it. Her design in the other episode made a small space feel even more claustrophobic. And anyone who uses “squishy” as a descriptive in a professional setting is also a red flag.

[@weikean8990]

Agree...her choice of color is not so nice...I felt sorry for the lady on the last episode too

[@1588chrissy]

Agree completely, as soon as she said her own preference was for colour jarring, the client became irrelevant. Especially considering if you’ve ever looked at her very popular website, no colour clashing in site. Surely you work with what the client likes but could never design themselves

[@lisefrydenlund4147]

Agree.

[@motomom547]

I have never watched a Horder be so willing to make changes...I hope she is doing well.

[@Spicypoptart1]

The fact that she described the breakfast area as light and bright when it had a dense mostly black bookshelf wallpaper is… interesting

[@kathleenwoodbury7491]

I really dislike this designer! She’s horrible! This is a gorgeous home and doesn’t need to be overdone, no help to the owner!

[@HumbleMonsterUK]

She is really annoying

[@georgeflooks3384]

Sylvia said that getting rid of the junk will allow her to buy some better things. She's already planning her shopping trips.

[@sueduffy7956]

I would not let that designer within an inch of my house - it’s a migraine inducing dust trap - nothing matches and it looks like it’s been designed by a box of frogs - each to their own but not for me 😫

[@HumbleMonsterUK]

Yes thank you dust trap I would go nuts 😂

[@kristyburden6912]

designers like her just want to expand their portfolio - they are not interested in what the client wants ...especially in this kind of situation. When she said "i'd die if we had to paint it rust color" - well ..its not your house woman!

[@dbentleyto95]

I don't get selling off functional furniture that is the taste of the hoarder. Why can't they design around some of them?

[@papawnanasaveslovesnlife9530]

I was thinking the same, but thats the most money to also pay for their services too, when they get paid from show also i think , might be wrong 👀💭❣️.. its sad she couldnt keep some things, make it feel content with losing some things, they could jus get alot more of percentage of monies for IMO but, her home feels new n cozy to her, NO REMINDERS OF THE HOARDING I hope 👋👋👋❣️

[@dani8shawn]

The designer was selfish. Sylvia knows what she wants and shouldn't be forced to live with the designer's design ideas only.

[@ivanolsen7966]

we were only shown a tiny segment of what would have been

[@GGEZWPlol]

but obviously Sylvia doesn't know it clearly, a professional always knows base on area sizes and she already decorated a lot of like that before.

[@windybeach2184]

She did say around 33:00 that she was stressing about all the client’s ideas, and was trying to incorporate all of them and make her happy.

[@carolirvine3367]

It worked out well, Sylvia loved the new design.

[@kjerstistenstad8217]

What a dangerous thought - to think new floors and wallpapers can cure an illness.

[@danielastreier3858]

I wanted to cry. Sold all the lovely furniture and filled the house with cheap painted cr@p. House ended up cold and boring. Terrible. Poor woman.

[@westaussieeggs8867]

Yes, that was entirely unnecessary. Yes, the house should be emptied and than the stuff should be selected what can be reused in the new setting. I THINK IT IS NICE TO HAVE A BIT OF A HISTORY in the house, things that have a negative vibe should go but other things that remind you of your long gone loved ones or happy events should stay. There are a number of things that are not mentioned in this episode, one of those is the constant bombardment to reuse, recycle, not to send rubbish to landfill. I also have a bit of a hoarding problem, not as near as what Sylvia has but a problem nevertheless. I am trying to reduce my junk mostly but every time I throw something in the bin I feel enormous amount of guilt and there is always this thought: I might need it again and than I will have to buy it and by the previous action I contribute to pollution, a bit of a catch 22 really.

[@jenrich111]

exactly. I would have kept that handcrafted furniture made from rich old oak 2000% and NO paint on the internal brick And why replace the floor? I loved it as it was YUCK!

[@amyx231]

Right!? The little mouse furniture pieces were cute.

[@wilma9475]

She painted a piece of furniture, which was fine...I guess, but then I saw that all of the hardware was painted over too!!! So that's going to look really awful as soon as the piece is used a few times, and shows a lack of attention to detail. This owner has SUCH a beautiful house; I cannot believe that there was not more furniture in the hoard that did not need to be sold for funds and could have been repurposed in her home, especially since the hoard started after her things were taken/burned by previous partners!

[@HumbleMonsterUK]

The ‘Mousey' Thompson furniture is sooo cute if I had it and she sold it I would 👋🏻 her 😂

[@brocktoon8]

Thank god she was able to keep that kitchen table. It is tasteful and gorgeous. Shame on them for trying to force her to sell it. Good for Sylvia for sticking up for herself about that.

[@EvelynDeCobain]

This designer lady is very disturbing, if she was any good she would definetly take into consideration the customer's preferences. She also pretty much does the same to all houses: turn them into a dark horror. Definitely NOT what these people need. Boo.

[@peggypeggy4137]

I don't know when this show was made but that black and white striped wall paper that was shown as an example of good, bold design was awful. That designer said that she liked jarring design when the lady said she wanted something harm and harmonious. This lady had some beautiful things. I would have taken her more seriously. It's her house.

[@debjh]

That designer could have kept that wonderful Mouse furniture, (it was so eclectic) and still redesigned it under budget. The poor home homeowner was taken advantage of. Totally awful replacements, with things that look cheap.

[@none5185]

They keep using this worthless decorator. She loves really dark colors and gray. I didn't see anything wrong with the light colored floor boards - it makes a room look bigger. You can also use oriental rugs. She didn't even talk to the people who HAVE TO LIVE THERE! I would hate having someone else decorate my house. She also picks really cheap looking furniture. Wood is much warmer, and I also do not like mixing 20 different colors together in one room.

[@samanthaabreu782]

The problem started when she said she keeps things because she feels secured. That means she will keepp doing that without therapy. And with that decoration, I would hoard also, because I would be wanting to hide it.

[@carolschafer4667]

There were things in her house that could have been used to decorate her space that would not have cost her anything more. She had some nice pieces of furniture that could have been used. The design wasn't as bad as the other video I watched, but this isn't much better. It is tacky.

[@juderussell7112]

It would not hurt her too give some of the money too the poor . Instead of buying for the he'll of it.she would feel much better if she gave.

[@zuzanaxyz8866]

These two people, who came to help her, do not understand a hoarder’s psyché at all. They are leaving her no options to make any decisions and one of the worst feelings for a hoarder is the lost control over their possessions and decision making process.

[@JP-ve7or]

99.99% sure the interior designer exists to stir up drama and anger the audience. 🤔

[@shirleybylsma4482]

The worst thing about this video is the designer. I totally hate what she did. I would sue her for malpractice.

[@mojopika]

😂😂😂😂

[@bcassinebcassine]

Excuse me for my English which is not good. I find that this interior designer is a disaster, she is authoritarian, she does not listen to others. The fake library (wallpaper), the floor, it all looks very low-end. I immediately knew that she would not be a good interior designer because I found her poorly dressed, unlike Sylvia who has a very personal style of clothing. I really like Sylvia's clothing style, both very bohemian and classy at the same time, her clothing style has personality. The decoration is too low-end and “fake” for Sylvia !

[@Jezabel-in-Hell]

As a graphic designer, I originally studied interior design. You are designing for the client, not yourself! She's so dramatic and obnoxious. Doesn't want to hear any input from the person who has to live there! Can't stand her...or that stupid wallpaper.

[@saharatopaz558]

YES! - SO arrogant - thinks all the clients are just fools - it would be different if she was chasing a big pay cheque from a wealthy client - then we would see a different approach.

[@wilma9475]

Oh god, that wallpaper!! Why would she not PUT UP ACTUAL SHELVING and add some books etc. (sorry for the yelling). That wallpaper was horrific. And then the voice over even spoke of how expensive it was--I would have had a meltdown.

[@HumbleMonsterUK]

Inflated ego 🙄 she is like “before we start with the please please” She’s getting on my nerves now 😂

[@KATYMCGINN]

​@@wilma9475😒 RIGHT! I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE PUT THAT ON SOMEONE'S WALL! IT'S HORRENDOUS 😂 IT'S SO RIDICULOUS LOOKING, ALONG WITH THE PINK LAMPSHADES IN THE ONE ROOM. LOOKS SO TACKY! NONE OF IT FLOWS TOGETHER OR EVEN LOOKS ELEGANT! SYLVIA IS A BEAUTIFUL LADY WHO OWNED VERY NICE THING'S! I'D BE SICK THAT I GOT RID OF MY BEAUTIFUL THING'S & THIS "DESIGNER" DESTROYED MY HOME! POOR SYLVIA, BLESS HER HEART 🙏🏼💜

[@KATYMCGINN]

​@@HumbleMonsterUK💜 I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT "INTERIOR DESIGNERS" WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS SO TACKY & FLAMBOYANT? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY RUIN HOMES, DON'T LISTEN TO THE HOMEOWNERS PREFERENCE. THEY ALWAYS DO REALLY WEIRD & TACKY STUFF! I WOULD NEVER LET ONE TOUCH MY HOME. TOO WEIRD! 😒🤑😑 I HATED THAT "BOOKSHELF" WALLPAPER! HIDEOUS 😂

[@sharvo6]

I knew how this was gonna go as soon as I saw that designer's overcoat, high contrast, oversized. I didn't mind the wallpaper because I love libraries and and books but it was so busy you couldn't even tell there was a buffet and breakfast setting in front of it. And who would want to sit and enjoy a cup of tea on those spindly chairs? All spit and polish. At least it was clear she had plenty of money if she wanted to replace it.

[@veganvixenhelen]

Sylvia may have been a hoarder but her home was clean as there didn't seem to be any dirt and grime anywhere!

[@joanneentwistle7653]

The clutter must have been protective 😂

[@beejereeno2]

I get the feeling they don't pick the really dirty people for the redecorating shows. Only the other ones.

[@hippygypsy777]

Nothing was wrong with the floor. It was bright and clean. What a waste of money. Don't fix what isn't broke.

[@alamedadanceparty]

Agree!!! Why make the floors dark?! So much harder to keep clean!

[@danielnapoli649]

The wallpaper in the breakfast room makes the room look hoarded!!! House looks cluttered with junk instead of garbage

[@jauipop]

Not sure why she needed to get rid of the dining table and good furniture? The problem was with the clutter/junk.

[@alexlio]

Exactly!!

[@donnadurant4000]

Yeah. No kidding. The Mouseman stuff was great. That sld of be left and no replaced with cheap multicolored tat. What were they thinking.

[@jauipop]

@@donnadurant4000 would have looked great in that "breakfast nook" or even the kid's playroom. It didn't look like this woman needed the extra money from those pieces to fund that terrible makeover.

[@debbieborrie4322]

I think the designer is useless, didn't like any of it. Those chairs at dining room table was horrible

[@mindyl5990]

Book wallpaper makes that area look super cluttered and it doesn’t work at all

[@sistersusie8569]

If I had been Sylvia walking into the first room and seeing that hideous book wallpaper I'd have thrown a fit

[@Gabriela-el4mt]

It's funny when you think that they made her get rid of actual books she already had, just so they can put that ridiculous wallpaper

[@CassTrashPuppy]

The wallpaper is the worst .as a book lover myself ,I can't think of anything more absurd than getting rod of books to put up that expensive rubbish.

[@KATYMCGINN]

😂 I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS WALLPAPER AT FIRST! HOW HIDEOUS! IT'S THE MOST ABSURD THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! THEN PEOPLE KEEP SAYING HOW "EXPENSIVE" IT WAS!? IF I WAS SYLVIA, I COULDN'T WAIT TO RIP THAT OFF MY WALL! IT'S HORRENDOUS! 😒😑

[@Louisemel902]

I'm not sure when this programme was made, but I'm sure hoarding is now recognised as a form of mental illness. Sylvia may have benefitted from a counsellor to help her get to grips with her hoarding behaviour, not this rude designer lady trying to ruin the inside of her house!

[@jenrich111]

yes! rips up the flooring, paints over internal brick, cheap paint sprayed over the radiators probably peel off as not prepped properly, and not baked enamel/heat proof anyway

[@christinebauer3489]

"This is what I want for my house".....designer: "no, let's do it my way!" Ugh. I can't stand her.

[@jen_wren_x]

This designer should be sitting down with her client and going over her mood board and discussing it. After all the client has to live in it after the TV cameras are gone etc.. Bullying ppl into what the designer want is not fair!!!

[@HumbleMonsterUK]

Yeah you ask them about their favourite colours, even favourite animal. In the first episode this designer put a cowhide rug in their bedroom, but the client was vegetarian 😂

[@kimberlyb1180]

Yes, I thought Interior Designers were to concentrate on the tastes of the client, not their own. This is the only issue I have with this show.

[@olgabelan]

Unbelievable! I am watching the 2nd episode with this "genius" designer and feel so sorry for the owner again...

[@selma-ethelamyciolan1530]

that mouse furniture was so cute 🖤

[@hippygypsy777]

That table and chairs is beautiful and she should keep it. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE MMAKING HER SELL IT. HER GREEN HOUSE ROOM ONLY NEED PLANTS TO BRING IT TO LIFE.

[@KATYMCGINN]

💜 I ABSOLUTELY AGREE! I NEVER WOULD HAVE SOLD THAT BEAUTIFUL WOOD TABLE & CHAIRS! IT WAS PERFECT FOR HER HOME 😢

[@cafsixtieslover]

This is not the right programme for this woman. A designer who has very set ideas about dark and wacky and does not want to listen to her customer, a woman who has developed a hoarding problem due to coercive past relationships and yet is being forced to sell her wedding and engagement rings from the man that did make her happy. And why was she being forced to sell all her nice furniture, and such a lovely big house should be light in colour scheme to make the most of the space. Surely the idea was to get rid of the hoard not deprive her of everything.

[@joannayeo9545]

The designer and the presenter are just cold controlling bullies. They have no idea about mental health and hoarder disorder.

[@JennWatson]

The designer was intent on contrasting colors regardless of what the home owner wanted. Luckily she liked it but I think the designer should listen. The colors were too much for me!

[@kerryfrancisco4788]

Silvia has a lovely collection of jewelry. Her necklaces she wears are investment pieces.

[@juliepage7552]

Can you imagine if a dressmaker said, “The client’s size is very different from mine so I’m trying to mush them together somewhere in the middle.”

[@alamedadanceparty]

The designer doesn’t do well listening to her clients. I would be scared to have her design my space without showing me a mock-up and colour palette.

[@sicooper4230]

late i know...Abigail Ahern has a very set way in interior design.Her own house is all dark walls,wacky bits & bobs with occasional neon bright splashes.She was popular when this came out and is probably lurking around somewhere now singing the praises of cluttered maximalism. Nothing dates quicker than interior design...

[@kizpaws]

I think that the idea of moving ALL of the hoard to a warehouse is a fantastic idea. It will clearly show the home owner their home empty, as opposed to dangerous clutter. And it displays just how MUCH stuff they actually have accumulated but never use. That is positive, as the home owner will see the potential in their de-cluttered home for once. As for this particular designer, I personally feel that she is not that great a designer; when the program was displaying some of the past things that she had done, I was cringing. So I did worry for this woman. But glad that she was happy in the end, and that is what counts.

[@annikatan378]

To be very honest, it's quite appalling to see that the interior designer didn't really sit down with her clients to show colour palettes for them to choose & discuss options in order to reach a mutual agreement btwn them. Instead it was all "talk" mostly from the designer mostly with her own vision & style of "comfort living", whilst exploring from one room to the next. Besides, not only was Sylvia not given the opportunity to seek a counselor for help, she was also not given the chance to learn decluttering & organising her stuff on her own: What to not keep (recycling, selling, throwing) & what to keep. Have to consider that sometimes "not knowing what to do with stuff" may also contribute to hoarding habit. Since it is also a blessing to see how determined she was to gain confidence moving forward from her past like depression, I wish I knew how Sylvia is doing now but as a believer of Christ Jesus to understand that there is always a daily battle to keep getting up from falling, may God be with her in every situation.

[@mariewagner230]

So you got rid of all the real books and put up book wall paper...

[@Rosa-kf6yy]

Good point! lol

[@JP-ve7or]

You think that's bad, check out the episode where they make a lady sell all her shoes and then Abby paints a few stray high heels white and places them on a mantelpiece as "art".

[@sheelfjohnson]

This designer is an IDIOT.

[@alamedadanceparty]

😂😂😂

[@KATYMCGINN]

​@@JP-ve7or😳 OMGOSH! SHE'S NUTS! 😑

[@sophiarentzing]

I don't like that designer. And why on earth could Sylvia only keep what would fit on one table, for goodness sake?

[@loesvw312]

This is the second time I see this show and the designer, but jeesh she is so annoying! She makes it all about herself and doesn't care about the home owners. So unprofessional.

[@JJ-yc2sv]

Same here. Second watch & thought she was pushy & inconsiderate of the owners' wants both times.

[@YochevedDesigns]

I hate this show so much. It really makes me angry. Hoarding is a symptom of trauma, and needs to be treated as such. The show's approach will probably only make things come back 10x worse. That wallpaper is hideous, too. She had perfectly good real books. Instead of making her get rid of them, they should have just built her a nice bookcase.

[@bcassinebcassine]

Excuse me for my English which is not good. I find that this interior designer is a disaster, she is authoritarian, she does not listen to others.

[@deborahrobinson5266]

I get the fact that money had to be made to redesign the areas, but I would've thought that the designer would have taken some of the items that Sylvia had and liked and either built the design around them or incorporated them into the design (other than the chest/cabinet that we hadn't seen before). The rooms did turn out lovely and Sylvia was happy in the end, so I guess that's all that really matters.

[@whateverchannel22]

The "designer" has no talent at design. But she's convinced that she's absolutely fabulous.

[@lisbethalbertsen9864]

I hate that designer, not in my home

[@legster983]

[@alamedadanceparty]

Appreciate your professional opinion! She seems not to listen to the clients very well.

[@diannenaworensky6698]

ABSOLUTELY doesn't listen to her clients

[@bonniehouse8975]

I would never let the designer near my house. Too much unnecessary clutter for useless decorations. I would like my house to be clean and neat, not like some cheap interior shop

[@dj393]

So far I hate the examples of what they call beautiful design.

[@feingetarntesfischfilet4841]

This is not going to work. The hoarders are traumatized by loss. That's why they surround themselves with inanimate objects, to which they are emotionally attached. It's a kind of bulk which protects them from the brutal world. Contempt will make it all worse. Adding more feelings of loss is going to make it worse. Plus, the "interior designer" is outright rude: I choose my own colours in my own home and do not ask your opinion, thanks.✋ She hides beneath Barbie's hair, but in my humble opinion she is a clot and believes this house should be her's.

[@unmuddywaters4602]

This seems like a very misguided attempt at “fixing” a problem that goes much deeper than the stuff. Having someone that finds treasures to sell their things and a posh designer who will come make over their space. Who will “ design rooms that a person will respect and not just fill up again” is basically putting a bandaid on a severed artery. This is kind of insulting. But maybe the folks across the pond aren’t as damaged as we are here in the US. Hoarders have an illness. Not just a clutter problem

[@houseb7923]

No, we're damaged here too. It's on par with telling someone with depression to "think happy thoughts". Totally insulting and unhelpful. It's just a way of making a TV show out of someone's mental illness for ratings.

[@oliviastar3812]

[@emmaw944]

I hope this lovely lady gets some therapy and help to recover from her relationship traumas

[@alexlio]

Both the selling man and the interior designer are not qualified to deal with a hoarder; they need psychological help not harsh tactics and someone bulldozing her design ideas.

[@GoodnightJLH]

I really would like to know what happens 3 years later with this method, with Dr. Stellios vs American Hoarders episodes where they do rapid “cold turkey” turn around and most stuff goes into a dumpster. I honestly think a plan like the one in this episode could actually be effective if it involved decorating to the hoarder’s actual taste and follow-up counseling.

[@isaurasp4501]

The mouseman's furniture should stay in such a nice house

[@SamanthaBillings]

Rude when the designer said "I will kill myself if we have to do rust!".

[@alexlio]

She went from controlling men to a controlling designer and seller funding the design!

[@AuntyM66]

Poor Sylvia she is being bullied again not by her ex husbands but controlling Abigail interior designer.

[@HumbleMonsterUK]

Yeah what was that about 😂 I love rust and 70s style even though I’m 34 Sylvia is older I can see why she said rust probably reminds her of childhood and family gatherings that was going to be kiddy family area.

[@sheelfjohnson]

I would definitely do rust at that point.

[@suedavis2099]

One word "Tacky"

[@MarianneMcVeigh-xz2yv]

The eclectic 70s look with a mish mash of contrasting bright colours just looks cheap like it's been decorated from Garage Sale items. Should have kept the mouse furniture that will value more in the future. The bookshelf wallpaper just makes the space look messy. Should have kept one bookcase and at least a dozen of the new books. Cant read wallpaper!!!

[@samanthav563]

The finished look is a lot better than i thought it would be, I thought that it wouldn't match with the client bc the decorator doesn't always seem to take into account what the client wants. I do wish that they had removed those handles and hinges before painting the dresser in the conservatory. Painted over fixtures is my ultimate furniture restoration pet peeve-----

[@lintlamb8397]

"Alice in Wonderland" is right. Poor Silvia. Hideous decor. Why in the world do they have Abby "designing". It looks like a crack house.

[@vjdrive1230]

It's like Curtis on the other episodes mostly giving away the antiques..so irritating.

[@annikarewelo2665]

They persuade people to part with their good and valuable possessions. Instead of just disposing of the garbage. In the end, people have an empty but boring apartment that doesn't show their own style and personality. In the case of Sylvia this was very clearly visible. I feel sorry for her.

[@riseevolution]

wonderfull house , now well decorated, i hope she maintain

[@janesmith9024]

This was an interesting one and she is such a nice lady with a lovely family. She is clever and understood the reasons - first a man who made her destroy things from the previous relationship etc. The biggest issue is 90% of hoarders/compulsive buyers backslide. Somehow she needs not to buy anything else. Also most of the things we buy have a very low resale value. I asked a luxury furniture shopw what they might buy back some of hte items I bought from then and it was peanuts compared with what I spent so I kept it (although I have large bare surfaces so no hoarding issue and every one of the makeovers has far too much stuff in it for my liking - I will not even tolerate a house plant never mind loads of them!

[@steveford1070]

"this 7 bed roomed house" "looks like a normal family home" errr normal for who, i've never even been in a 7 bed roomed house.

Can this show PLEASE STOP showing us amazing ideas of interiors (i.e. 17:34) and then having Abigail deliver the COMPLETE OPPOSITE and horrid results to each client? It's just...so disappointing.

[@sophiegolden]

The make over is weird, a little bric à brac, I don't understand why in all shows they put a too small dining table, it s ridiculous...

[@shirleylangton7967]

My focus on things started as Sylvia with others forcing me to "get rid of " in relationships. It has to be the person's choice to downsize, otherwise, it affects someone in very many ways. Sylvia got a very comfortable sanctuary and seems very happy now.

[@HilaryIsOkayssss]

This is beautiful. Light and beautiful! I love it. I want to live here.

Sylvia's fashion taste is so lovely

[@patminnick2813]

Sylvia doesn't seem to understand that if she thinks something is worth $1,000 and 200 people who are bidding on it and they say it's worth $150 that she is the one wrong about somethings worth

[@judymcpheron5955]

So much talent! And she's so Happy and FREE now.

[@nualarosth8448]

The make over was definitely not to my liking, but most importantly the designer didn’t listen Sylvia.

[@alamedadanceparty]

Agree 😢

[@catiabotelho5845]

This lady is the nicest hoarder client I have ever seen in videos. It obvious that she is wise ane very spiritual. Due to her high capacity of introspection, I am sure that she doesn't need much therapy and that she won't hoard anymore. I also think that her house was better before the makeover.

Should have stained the floor Painted the brick Did not do what owner wanted!

[@bethm8593]

I wondered too why the floor couldn't be stained and instead had to be changed...

[@alamedadanceparty]

Such a waste of money to change those nice floors. The designer doesn’t listen.

I can’t believe that huge owl is near the little ones couch it could hurt the little one if it fell over.

"I'm not a rich woman," says the woman living alone in a seven-bedroom house.

[@Walter_Nicolas]

Hello Nancy how're you doing and your family hope they're all doing great

[@Spicypoptart1]

I know right?! Batty woman, sell that house!

[@rhonddalesley]

She wouldn’t be rich if she was paying the mortgage on a 7 bedroom house. People can assume that you must have money when you ‘own’ your own home when in reality you can be worse off because you’re paying a large mortgage

[@RadCenter]

@@rhonddalesley what's stopping her from selling? Terrible excuse.

[@Walter_Nicolas]

@@RadCenter She might not want to Sell it

I like how cheerful the environment looks and how there is a space for the granddaughter. The only part I don't like is the white colors and the plants, but that could easily be changed. Either way, it is her home so it only matters that she likes it.

[@sofimak]

Very beautiful episode!! So cheerful, hopeful, made me smile a lot! I'd love to see more of these!!!!

[@Robine-n1v]

I can't understand why this interior designer is so heartless. They don't even listen to the customers. I also find it very inappropriate to clear out a cluttered house and then choose a photo wallpaper with a motif full of clutter in the new concept.

[@Coco_90683]

The designer has her own online store…

[@Channel-ld9ip]

I appreciate knowing the backstory/history of some of the items found.

[@jennifercoleman6218]

I will never understand why some people have so much while others have nothing at all.. sorry not into the black and white striped mess. Its like beatlejuice. Ever heard less is more. I love what her house looked like BEFORE

[@CassTrashPuppy]

Wow I love this one I was fearing the worst. The designer was on notice ! Maybe that's why it wasn't so vile 😆😆

[@zoeymichael3966]

I get the impression this is just an advertising for the interior designer. ☹️ My bad - I thought it is about the hoarder. 🙈

[@Vb-fy4sv]

What a beautiful home ,and the little girls area was delightful !

[@holdermeddk]

The hoarder never thinks she bought the stuff too expensive.
