You can tell the two of them aren't getting along. Tarek has gone from agreeing with everything Christina says to no to everything Christina says.

[@hassankhokhar204]

That’s a good thing. Men shouldn’t be yes mans and should be allowed to have their own opinions. It’s unfair that women always get their way, they need to grow up and need stop being babies. He should not be agreeing to everything she is saying in the first place. It should be mutual and they should be collaborating and working together, BOTH making compromises. Christina also doesn’t do anything but stand their and command everyone, including Tarek. She needs to learn this is a business and not get everything she wants. She goes severely over budget for every project and half the time waste perfectly good materials to put in ugly things that will go out of style within a year. Not to even mention the carbon footprint and waste associated with that

Maaan I really lliked Christina's kitchen ideas even in the bathroom too .

[@b_kellyanne]

I love Christina but the salmon colored cabinets would only fit for a very specific buyer... they are flipping a house, not renovating someone's current house. They risk sitting on the market, not selling if they choose a very bold option with those cabinets

[@JohnsonKayla12]

I’ve seen more times than not that her unique design choice gets offers at a higher price, so I respectfully disagree that it would sit on the market

[@TheKaurK]

I respectfully disagree too. Every buyer I know bought a place because something unique about that specific place hooked them in. Average buyer doesn’t have the capital to do a major renovation after buying the house- so having something bold but rooted in good design values really helps make a place unique and more like home for most people. I dislike the ones that were chosen here. Christina’s choice was just better.

[@Prieze868]

The pink deco pink with black and white floor tiles would look really cool

[@angelbulldog4934]

​@@JohnsonKayla12What's so unique about black/grey/white? It's boring and predictable.

[@amandamccann8100]

Honestly, just saying.....My grandmother has an updated home with some of these same colors and stuff. I think Christina was right to want to put in something different by adding the Salmon or coral color in the kitchen etc. I know it’s been stated before but, it’s just too regular. Like, these are the same colors that everyone is going for. Do something to stand out. Tarek, trust Christina as much as you did before. She’s trying to show you that stepping outside of your comfort zone can/will pay off. She hasn’t steered you wrong yet!

He's turned into such a dick. Wish he knew what job he should stick to. Challenges everything Christina says. He's thinks he's so large and incharge. He blames all his bad decissions on her or "we" (his decissions afterall). Change your attitude and stop being so bitter.

[@marzigeisha]

This is after they're separated, you can tell Tarek is starting to be more controlling. Not a good look.

[@VioletJoy]

I was just thinking it seems like obvious fake drama created by the show. I mean, he complains that she wants to spend $500 more to add a pantry (which I could even afford), but literally the next second he's willing to spend $3000 removing a window and soffet. That screams fake to me.

would love to see final floor plans for easier comparisons...too much time on showing the renovations not enough on the design, it"s like the endings are just so short doesn"t give us time to appreciate the finished product

[@renees1021]

I really like that there are multiple rooms within your great room. One big room for everything only looks good when ya know how to lay out your furniture. And they can feel like there's no where to have a moment by yourself. Nice job on this one!!

[@victoriagarcia5533]

Why do they always tile the fireplace? I personally don’t like it.

[@WBCRO]

Those silver 3-D tiles in the bathroom will be murder to keep clean. Each ridge will catch water and could easily breed mould.

Its strange to see the Americans building rooms with drywalls..especially the showers and bathrooms....in our country in South Africa, and most other countries we build with bricks...so much more durable, private and less work...i always wonder what the person in the next door room of dry walls must all hear ...it looks like carton houses and can't be to safe in case of fires and break-ins...we only use drywalls to create cubicals in offices, etc

[@jondoigh450]

Here’s where the started going wrong- their ideas were polar opposites and sometimes she got her way, sometimes he did. Whomever lost their idea had hard feelings- u can see it in their face. Along with comments he made about not letting her jeopardize the investment. They weren’t playing on the same team.

The kitchen backsplash clashes with the grey countertops. It might just be my computer screen, though.

[@marieslabbert6009]

The way Tarek carries on about the money, it is as though Christina has no financial input into each project. She puts up half and he does half and 100% of the time they made more money, because of her designs and décor ideas.

[@rafaeltorres4728]

You can see by Tarek's comments that things between them were not doing good for them at that time.

[@carmelagarin8645]

The 3d bathroom tiles looked like a disco ball, only not round. The salmon cabinets Christina was suggesting would have greater impact. I don't like the tiles' color. A bit dated

[@drewconway7135]

I don’t know why these two still do houses together. Any on-screen chemistry they had before flew the coop when they divorced. I wouldn’t have liked pink cabinets, either, but that doesn’t mean the kitchen Tarek designed is any better! The dark tile in the kitchen is hideous, and the bathrooms are even worse. I can’t believe someone paid $1.1 million for this f’ed up house.

[@jenniboo9441]

The backslash doesn't work with the counters. It's a beautiful backslash it just doesn't have enough contrast with the counters. They should have used light colored grout to at least lighten it up a bit

[@eg4016]

Sorry but i do not like the design of the kitchen nor of the baths

[@theresekatie4841]

Actually with the high end Uber expensive finishes Christina likes, they should ideally focus on high end houses. A person with only half a mil isn't going to offer $50k extra for wacky backsplashes

[@leschenieuwoudt8198]

Tarek is sometimes a bit much, but his eye is on the buyers and market. The bathrooms would have been VERY white. If they showed us the whole kitchen design that Christina was suggesting it would have helped to form a better opinion, but what I saw was not very young buyers and the desing would have scared them away, as it is very different.

[@eattherich9215]

Tarek is more concerned about the bottom line, but some of Christina's ideas do need a rethink. A pink kitchen would not be the way to go in appealing to the broadest market.

[@renees1021]

Old farm homes had pantries and cellars. Of course they grew and raised everything they ate and had larger families. Houses had liveable attics back then too. Usually just storage.
