I really enjoy this show. Had covid. EMT's found me unconscious in my bathroom.Woke up in ER unable to walk??? I walked just fine before. ANYWAY; watching youtube is good entertainment. Love it. Yippee

What, that recently happened? How is your recovery

[@dianeambrose683]

The two of you work well together. Nice to see.

[@timetothrivewithjanie8287]

I like a lot of the homes they redo, yet I liked the stone better on this one.

[@cocokai9661]

Me too. It looked very bland after they removed the stone. They could have repaired the stucco and left the stone. A different color on the stucco would have set the stone off better.

[@Prieze868]

This one turned out great

[@Prieze868]

Well done Christina and Tarek

[@marieslabbert6009]

Beautiful, as always. Quality finishes. A desert (pebble) garden in front would have been better.

[@magaliepousin1103]

Beautiful home and transformation 👍🏡

[@annemarieacosta8775]

Great designing team !

[@anaeden7926]

Excellent job, you guys always do excellent job I believe nothing can separate you guys even after divorced You have a good vision in the houses The Lord bless you and keep guard both off you

[@Prieze868]

The way they're getting along with accepting each other's and design ideas for obviously for the children but I know Tariq has Heather Ray Young and they're happy but I just have it eventually be really funny if they end up accidentally having an affair

[@Agilosi]

LOVE THEM THEY'RE SO GOOD TOGETHER HDTV THATS WHAT MAKES THIS CHANEL THE BEST

[@lindathompson3982]

Tarek is so competetive & seems to need so much acknowledgement of his 'greatness' in all things...Yeesh.

[@missava66]

Nice job. It would be interesting to see Tarek and Christina do an environmentally friendly job. Maybe reusing as much of materials already available in home and spending money saved on things like solar panels. Just a thought

[@southerngypsy1894]

Do you know how much solar panels COST??? Their goal is to MAKE money....not lose money.

[@missava66]

@@southerngypsy1894 maybe they could recycle more of what is thrown out?? I’m just suggesting to see a more thoughtful approach to renovating.

[@southerngypsy1894]

@@missava66 Soooo, you want them to reuse stained carpet, rotting wood, & moldy cabinets? I help with Reno's myself and there's a reason the materials go straight to the dump ... They're not salvageable. What materials are you wanting them to reuse?

[@missava66]

@@southerngypsy1894 idk just an idea. If you are an experienced at renovations you probably know better. Sometimes I watch these shows and I see a lot waste. Just my opinion.

[@jalifritz8033]

Yeah definitely also my guess is that a solar panel would be a great plus with the regular blackouts in California or just don’t have lawns and pools.

[@saubery2707]

I wish you had showed the removal of the rock from the fireplace. I have similar rock in my house and wanted to see how much effort it would take to remove it. I like how you used the quartz countertop for the fireplace too.

[@VioletJoy]

1. I'm totally shocked they took this one on. A corner lot on a super busy street is a hard sell. Plus, there was SO much to do on this one. 2. Since the front of the house was so loud, I wonder why they didn't create a backyard oasis to make up for it. That backyard was huge, but BORING! They could have at least added a little something to the back! 3. I wonder why stagers don't stage the yards too. It wouldn't be difficult to add a patio set, umbrella, fire pit, etc. to make the backyard more appealing.

[@mesimesi2313]

They usually do stage the backyard, just not on this one. Maybe to distract from noise they want the customers to stay inside.

[@VioletJoy]

@@mesimesi2313 But the back was quiet if I remember correctly.

[@linda1909]

Location is everything to Tarek. This home is within a mile of million dollar homes, in a excellent school district and close to shopping. LA habra has transformed so much in my lifetime of having grown up there

[@pattistuber8018]

I would have chosen a different accent color with the gray instead of the reddish orange.

[@jesusnavarro4885]

Busy streets are a bad choice if you have kids. Bad foundation. Not a good investment.

[@cantiliver26]

Me sorprende el precio excesivo de las casas que hacen en Estados Unidos; son de madera y cuestan carísimas. 😲😬🙊

[@howardtheduck7668]

Very plain grey exterior. Even the old stone would have caught my eye more. And you guys kept the crazy narrow galley kitchen?! And added interior railing? I think you’d have been better off to rip that out as Christina suggested originally. And to help reduce the sound could you have put up a privacy fence or hedge?

[@michellegiardinobast7471]

Looks great..I just love the orange ..they seem to always add that to the staging..

[@linda1909]

I love in LA habra. This location is half mile from the high school. Yes further up Palm are more expensive homes, but way different

[@luciaconn6788]

the 'galley kitchen' idea was eat out/take out/ grill out and or picnic at the beach, breakfast the only meal home, maybe

[@Prieze868]

Paint those rock looking things on the exterior a glossy black

[@nataliestabback8379]

Very nice guy's

[@dje9834]

Even though it's on a busy corner, the back yard is totally private.

[@Lacoux]

Ech hate the dark grey and nickel finishes. I guess they are trying to appeal to the age group they are trying to sell to. Also that railing is so old looking. If you were going to keep the same style should have just spray painted what was there black. I would have chosen white minimalistic railings in black and then lime washed the exterior including the stone.

[@Prieze868]

Good choice with this one but it's hard sometimes double hung windows would look nicer than sliders

[@Prieze868]

Good call on the kitchen Taarak

[@pootandbeans5956]

Why do people put so much gray in the house?

[@jalifritz8033]

It doesn’t look dirty easily.

[@nicholasrv8834]

Tarek: what color should we do? Christina: I know, let's do .........grey. Me: How did I know they would pick grey? All of you: Because they ALWAYS pick grey

[@brandnewheavie7548]

Me: How do I know, that you don't understand the show at all.

[@jillhopson2275]

Grey goes with everything

[@denisesobey8032]

Love flio or flop, how about some new episodes 😊😊😊⚘⚘🌷🌷🤗🤗🤗

[@jalifritz8033]

They got divorced so it’s unlikely they make another show together.

[@HagerHaus]

Let's see. Let's pick colors. Oh, okay. I know. Grey! (Ack. Enuf awready!)

[@ivaneiarocatelli6296]

👍👍👍🇧🇷 gostei

[@Prieze868]

Mid century modern aesthetic sometimes doesn't need tiling in modernising opening up so great idea but sometimes it's a bit sometimes the old laminate and may be new but old style aesthetic I don't know they're appealing to new buyers

[@Prieze868]

I hate the slider double glazed windows I double glaze but it'd be good if they would double hung instead slider

[@jalifritz8033]

I could be totally wrong but I think it has to do with building laws, it’s easier to open and escape through a slide window then a hung window.

[@Prieze868]

@@jalifritz8033 make sense but you think they take drop it to the floor then make it a a sliding door a double glazed sliding door Wunderlich double hung double glazed windows that look like wooden windows are amazing yes it's her in America it has to be a certain depth so you can hop out that you say but I think they should just make the windows doors to the floor so they can utilise the yard and have outdoor rooms such waste of land mass at the front and side eccetera

[@happyb9216]

Quartz is not safe for wood burning fireplace. How did it pass inspection?

[@Prieze868]

Ring re stucco or rip it off and put insulated BlueBoard

Gray AGAIN.. Why does everything have to be gray? Gray in episode after episode. I know it's the trend, but I would like to see a little more design imagination.

Decadent? "In a state of moral or cultural decline." Hm-m-m

[@susanmark2000]

I expected an S/M dungeon from that headline! LOL.

[@stafonvoncamron]

A house next to a busy street is not going to sell for what they want.

[@pearl3761]

The staging was awful

[@miguelircontar]

Lol how

[@Lacoux]

Yeah that was totally early 2000s decor.

[@Prieze868]

The kitchen could be a butler's pantry can't be Matt build a new kitchen in another space I know it's a small house

[@playfulpanthress]

Gods, I’m glad they toned down the obvious plants. “I can tell this is quality!”, “Quartz” what dude bro knows the difference between quartz and granite? Would have been better to have the old couple say it or the mother. She was the most realistic, noting the quiet in the room that faced the busy street. We know the whole point of the channel is to like a design and go buy it from Lowes or Home Depot. It’s just insulting when it’s that obvious.

[@erinskeffington3683]

Looked cheap to me. Didn’t love the materials or the choices made.

[@tonipope3164]

Replace railing outside with the same thing just a different color... outside is just blah...and I absolutely hate that railing inside... UGLY

[@RT-wx4wq]

Christina is beautiful and smart... but when she talks like she wants to cry...

[@IngefromGraz]

Christina’s fame has gone to her head, she’s obviously a different person, when she talks so fast, it sounds like she’s on speed. Ditching Ant Anstead, and now another boyfriend and so soon after their divorce.

[@evaggeliaasteriou4534]

same same same....BORINGGGGG...... railings inside the house????in which decade?//?//??? AND THE KITCHEN oh my gosh even more BORINGGGGGG

[@jalifritz8033]

Yeah but it’s about mass appeal, a buyer will personalise it anyway and I think they gave it a good foundation.

[@singlecatt]

You're always ripping out and destroying cabinets. If they are in reasonably good shape why don't you donate them to habitat for humanity? Or similar...

[@KidCity1985]

I think its wierd as shit that these two are working together.

[@christabellll]

I don’t think it’s weird. Not sure very divorce ends up being a World War. It’s commendable that they can get along despite not being together anymore.

[@swolfe9668]

Christina has the worse design for fireplaces
