Looks good, except for those hideous floors. Couldn't live with those. Needs a pool out back, and more trees!

[@anniehovsepian6173]

I agree the floors look morre like decking, it's awful but the house looks good and I'm pleasantly surprised he didn't close the bathroom window, one of my pet peeves window less bath/kitchen

[@VioletJoy]

Horrible.

[@heidicook2739]

Floors are a miss for me.

[@Helloskyyt321]

Tarek’s clothing style has come a looooong way 😆

[@mesimesi2313]

That floor is hideous!!! What was she thinking?

[@spaceflamingo9015]

Not gonna lie, I think they messed up the floors.

[@niok3753]

Same !

[@kyleanuar9090]

This from very old episode, all the decor is outdated

[@masrulsadaf7837]

Floor looks awful

[@VioletJoy]

​@@kyleanuar9090 They were ugly even back then.

[@ginacrusco234]

The statement flooring was a risk but at least it's not generic and cookie-cutter. To my eye the change in color on every board interrupts the flow and makes the house look less spacious.

[@VioletJoy]

I'll take generic any day over that ugly flooring. Any furniture will compete with that busy pattern. It's never good to have the floor be the focal point of the home.

[@tokelomphahlele1544]

Tarek's choice of floors were much better 🤔

[@kyleanuar9090]

Just by the tiles design you know this predates the grey/white newer episodes

[@NC-ij9rb]

I love the warm tones. This pandemic and the recent lockdowns made hate all of the cold greys in my house. The warm tones make me feel cozy, warm, and safe. I love it. The floor is a bit of a miss for me tho

[@VioletJoy]

This was a really old episode. Christina never chose warm tones again. Literally every house was very and white.

[@yanirissilvestre3311]

Sorry those floors would make me look away from purchasing this house, It’s too busy.

[@kharrell8356]

so this is tarek before he went all hollywood ;)

[@carrietremble]

And Christina before she went all Hollywood! Pre-extensions for sure.

[@L.Spencer]

Looks like it was right after a surgery for thyroid cancer, if I remember correctly.

[@danielleelcock1532]

Floors failed

[@davidcantor293]

Oof, the floors remind me of a cheap apartment complex. The staging is atrocious. I cant even. Lol. You can tell that it’s an old episode because people were okay with dark cabinetry, flooring, walls, and staging... Yikes

[@pegc9889]

This is one of my favorite flips - no hospital white cabinets in the kitchen and the flooring was unique.

[@niok3753]

I totally agree with the white cabinets !!!! But that floor and bathroom tiles are already updated together. That brown make old 70’s :/

[@pegc9889]

@John Jones It was just an opinion, actually it never matters to me what other people think about my taste, as long as I'm happy. It was refreshing to see different color cabinets used in this episode.

[@renees1021]

"Pop." The word is used so much it is the opposite of "pop". Soon I'll want to pop people for saying it. 😂

[@DonMachado]

This has to be a very early episode because the finishes they chose look dated to my eye and it lacks the panache of their later design style. And I can't stand that flooring.

[@carrietremble]

It is a season 2 episode. It would have aired in 2014, probably filmed in 2013.

[@DonMachado]

@@carrietremble Thanks, that makes sense.

[@svietka202]

This must have been over a decade ago cause those prices r ridiculously low

[@linda1909]

That shot of Taylor looks like she about 3 or 4 and now 12.

[@whatever5922]

The floors are hideous

[@caroled5734]

I don’t like the floors either

[@happydays1336]

I have a neighbor who put the same floors in and they're really ugly. Way too busy and fake looking.

[@helenwoodrum2383]

I hate the floors. Everything else is great.

[@joanaranadi2623]

I just love the way you do your work, the matching colors and the attention to detail. Watching from Fiji🇫🇯🇫🇯

[@ArgentPure]

I hate that flooring and the stacked stone on the fireplace!

[@Prieze868]

No to stack stone this is a lovely see very old episode

[@neelpatel2992]

Where the heck do you find full kitchen cabinets for 6k let alone installation

[@requelmorales6390]

Me encanta pero me gustaría que tuviera traducion al español

[@marieslabbert6009]

This is one of their earliest flips. I cannot understand that Tarek cannot accept that Christina's choices always are the correct ones. The buyers, who after all are the most important, loved her choices and paid more than the asking price. 👏👏👏

[@mattyd3079]

He definitely should have let her take charge of design. he was always focussed on not over spending. I can see both sides. yes a good design can add value, but you risk making less money or even a loss if you over-spend. you can spend a million making it beautiful, but if the local area comps are $500k, you will never get the money back

[@linda1909]

It was all about ratings which equal money.

[@rodzwart6360]

She sucks. That floor was cringe.

[@IshikawaLuv]

Omg why would she pick that floor!

[@daljitarmandodhillon3013]

I will probably acknowledge the profit to pay a better court document.

[@ariquezada8031]

Probably one of their ugliest flips 🥴

[@cheyenneblankenship8179]

I hope they repiped the entire house and not try to just flush out the crude! Yuk!

[@jamie8529]

So so so much brown

[@CC-si3cr]

The piping didn't ruin anything. There was a problem and Tarek paid to fix it. Nothing more.

[@toonmili03]

I hate the floors

[@kristinschaffer2698]

Dont like floors

[@mattyd3079]

Floors and kitchen cupboards are hideous! The kitchen looks like a cheap 1970s built public housing dive. And the only place that flooring would work is in an isolated rundown shack on a mountain.

[@susanmark2000]

Well, lots of offers and someone purchased so...

[@mattyd3079]

@@susanmark2000 fair enough. Everyone has different tastes. For my taste it’s pretty awful. I wonder when they made this episode.

[@linda1909]

Well glad u didn't buy it

[@sarahbelo8891]

Ewe the floors!!! 🤮🤮🤮

[@aandjay]

Sad the feelings came back and they couldn't do the show anymore

[@carrietremble]

What are you even talking about?

[@renees1021]

Tile looks like it's moldy. I don't like the floor at all.

[@VioletJoy]

Christina was WAY off on the ugly flooring. It's hard to find furniture to go with such a busy pattern. That would almost be a deal breaker for me. Everything else was fairly neutral. It would have been better to choose neutral flooring that didn't stand out. It's never good to have the flooring be the focal point. 👎

[@daljitarmandodhillon3013]

The house is no good to me and you have a acknowledgement business career.

[@funbunz123]

So outdated lol

[@acommentator69]

Probably way better than where you live

[@mattyd3079]

This episode must be 10 years old at least. But even 10 years ago the floors and cabinets look like cheap 1970s public housing

[@daljitarmandodhillon3013]

Donald John Trump to the all is the owner any way I just happened to remember about broad cast design.

[@DavidJr-ig5og]

Tarek is a vampire 🧛‍♂️ look at his neck at 7:29

[@desh2769]

That's his scar from cancer surgery 🙃🙃

[@ahrenb3393]

This one was ugly lol and they know it

[@plstakethelegosaway7]

Early lol

[@daljitarmandodhillon3013]

Or email I don’t know how advanced business community designed to your acknowledgement.

[@daljitarmandodhillon3013]

Or if you just want to mail Donald John Trump Jr. a cashier check at amount acknowledgement to $100,000.00 usd that is awesome and what ever you want to give me I bank with Navy Federal Credit Union just deposit it for me thank you.
