Double Your House For Half The Money! (Series 1 Episode 1) - FULL EPISODE 

The cheapest way to double the size of your home is to vigorously de-clutter the place! Just imagine how much most people spend just to have enough space to store their junk they hardly ever use!

My house is 30sqm..and we have a lot of space...its just matter of decluttering and organization..also helps being minimalist..i dont like storing things i dont really use

I honestly think this is in the top 6 shows on You Tube. I love how you teach your clients, and in doing so help them avoid costly mistakes! You could just tell them, but by showing them examples, you are able to get their own creative juices flowing!

I've mentioned this on other episodes: Don't ever think of your house as your "forever home" because life happens. It's a lot less traumatic to move on if you think of your home as your "house." I had a really hard time leaving my first "forever home" because my emotions were so wrapped up in it. I still felt homesick even after building and moving into another very beautiful custom home 25 miles away. I would still drive back to my old neighborhood to look at my first "forever home." I made sure I thought of this second home as a "house' or a very nice rental. After four years there we sold it a few months ago and have moved into a smaller, older and less expensive house. I've had zero upset over the move. I no longer pine over my first house. It's finally in the past. Thank goodness. Now I'm having fun refreshing the interior of our "new" old house. You'll just save yourself a lot of heartache if you don't tie up all of your emotions within the four walls of a house.

I would have liked to have seen the "cellar rooms" from the outside, what it looked like from the garden.

Please get rid of all your junk before deciding to add on to your house!. The couple with one baby had a three bedroom house to start with. Why was his desk/office in the kitchen and not in one of the bedrooms? Even if they had another kid, the had enough bedrooms. The could use another bathroom but the rest probably not.

I enjoy this show and have nothing negative to say about the people or the design. 😁

They got the IVF :)

I love this show. I love British TV

I love these old episodes, thank you for posting, and having written that I have to add: I dislike the many, many commercials 😖

it's motivating to tell others with old houses to make changes in their lifestyle not by breaking but renovating.

excellent ideas both from home owners , interior designers n real estate agents.

"We thought we were going to do a simple basement conversion..." Ha!!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING!! ... I love it.

Nothing wrong with the detached house it just needs a new bathoom and kitchen.

✨💖✨I love what these two young families have done to keep/make their houses their dream homes. I wish them many happy years. One thought I have. Swapping the front “grownup space” with the play space was genius on several levels. It is a cozy space, secure and more easily baby proofed. Later, play dates in there while parents have coffee at the bar. And as the twixt and tween and teen years come barreling along, a “private” yet safe place (read supervised) space kids crave. But at the very gut level, I’m a practical person. All those beautiful double windows and doors with all that beautiful gleaming glass will have fewer little hand prints, nose prints, lick marks expressing whatever artistic mood happens upon babies and doggos alike. (Written with love by the mom who was thankful for every little finger and nose print. But I was also the one who cleaned them. lol)

How is a 3 bedroom house with a dining room a starter home?

bro the baby in this is not 9 and in my gymnastics class💀😭

Interesting that so many Brits are willing to give up their garage. No way would I give up mine.

That light well ( the window with the mirrors) is amazing....I tried to see if its available in Canada and I cant find it anywhere.

I'm with Sarah, I hate breakfast bars so much.

Call me crazy but I would have done the ivf first and seen if I actually needed a bigger house.

seen. Love this show! Baby (brunette) is GORGEOUS!!!!! BOTH Homes stunning!!!! WELL DONE!

You just need a little bit mopping and clear that clutter that's it 😅🤣😅

The transformations on the budgets were amazing, but I couldn't help notice that when Sarah was doing her wind-up at Rob and Beth's house, she was standing in front of the exterior which badly needs repointing. If they don't get that sorted, they might have to star in Sarah's Help, My House is Falling Down show next.

it was a beautiful house after renovated indeed. I learned a lot.

Love Sarah 🥰

@23:05 Her comment “it’s going to be Flippin hot in here in the summer” made me laugh. England is not known for hot summers. 😆

Open plan living; lovely in the warm sunny weather but through winter and with heating costs??

So were they able to add another bathroom in the basement? It wasn’t shown.. Both great transformation!

I need to be on this show to have a baby😅

Hate the wallpaper in the living room. It makes the space look smaller than if it had just been painted white.

LOVE that Prism basement window! But I have to say that the black wet room isn't my favourite having had an all black bathroom myself at one point in time, and I got real tired of it real fast, even so I hope they continue to like it.

Under floor heating is a big waste of money . Buy more SOCKS.

Double the size of the kitchen sink by taking out the bloody plastic bowl. Why do the British do that FFS? It's a sink.Use it!

No matter what year, Brits always have a feature wall with ugly wallpaper the every room. Ugh! I like using a double sided bookcase that separates the large space. Doggie tub waste on space and money.

I wonder how much time these couples then really spend in their luxurious master bedrooms, other than 7 hours at night? How many times do they use the bath tub in the corner? I haven‘t watched this episode yet, but that‘s usually one of the results…

Instant 150 or more square feet - buy a clothes dryer.

I always find it so surprising how many people on these programs embark on a "super stressful building project" & then surprise! Get pregnant unexpectedly. My word one massive stressful life event at a time gosh damn it!

What is it about the English and plastic tubs in the kitchen sink??? They do know kitchen sinks hold water??

Sarah is lovely 😍

Such a big mistake now that heating costs have spiralled

The couple with the apartment didn't consider the possibility of another baby then....boom! They should sell in my opinion.

Did I miss the bathroom in the basement conversion?

green solutions > more children decluttering and smart storage > big building projects

Where is all his sporting and gym equipment now ? Also where’s the office? It’s all very well making these improvements but functionality and practicalities are not always factored in ?

It seems most people with young children insist on making a separate playroom that these children will eventually grow out of. Such wasted space.

Lol at "A house like this is worth 400.000" :)

No safety hard hats when lifting the steel beam 😮 I would have sacked the lot of them!

Not so sure about the basement, it is a great conversion but where is the new baby going? Are they going to put the toddler upstairs while the parents are in their new master downstairs??? The doubled house was great!! Do agree that decluttering can certainly free up space. For instance, look at how many toys those two little girls had. Way more than they could every play with. Just saying....

If they would get rid of a lot of their junk...

Damp room is not an ideal place to steep.

40:50 - whaaaattt??? That old, floral wallpaper looks horrid and inappropriate in that addition. And then they added a black and modern wallpaper. Great construction, they definitely need help of an interior designer. Hope they change it.

my name EIRINI LAMPRAKOU

900 square feet isn't enough for a family of 3 (or 4 or even 5)?How much space do they need to be satisfied? This is called GREED!

(Oh! The OTHER couple got pregnant! ... In Astrology, babies and homes share the 4th house. It would be fun to look at the charts of all the people who, while re-doing their homes, 'fell pregnant'! It seems like a very common occurrence).

Love the show,but....that creepy intro reminds me of the serial killer who taped the weird manikin,please 🛑

i wish we would get an update if they had another child (God willing, would so hope for them)

For a single woman living in a 2 bedroom housing home today I can say I would not share it or give it up amen ⭐ amen ⭐ amen ⭐that's know LIE⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💜

I’m sorry, how can they be surprised they’re pregnant!!??!!

Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to the channel to be notified of all future episodes! 😀

They need to change the architect give the chance to other one that way it’s not always the same guys ;(

30:00 so he put his families future at risk because he wanted an "eco" system? What kind of man doesnt put his family and their future first?

She's my girlfriend 💑
