CREDIT FOR ORIGINAL HARDWOOD FLOORING VIDEO: @kevrosehome ON INSTAGRAM 🧡 Forget COVID, THIS is the new pandemic! 🤣 -- FOLLOW ME: instagram: halohayleys tiktok: halohayley -- Thanks for watching!
While I fully support the overall message here as an old home owner / lover, I REALLY encourage you to do proper research before posting videos like this one. That’s my home at 1:19 and a video I posted on IG on APRIL FOOLS day…as an April fools prank, which is stated in the caption and has a follow up video revealing that it was in fact not real (which includes SpongeBob references as well so I enjoy that we have that in common lol). While you claim it didn’t surprise you at all, a 5 second glance at the rest of my page, where we have been adding historic charm and color into our home for years to remove the “all white everything” vibe, would have made it very surprising indeed that I would ever do that to those floors lol. The girl painting the grandfather clock is an IG friend of mine and hers was an April fools post as well (also written right there in her caption on her post). Again, not a hater of the message here (I have lost sleep over the 70s stone fireplace flip lol, saw that one weeks ago and haven’t been quite the same since), but just maybe take the extra steps next time to make sure the material you’re using to make your point is legit. Some of us would NEVER ❤
Kevrosehome is easily one of the best home accounts out there and it’s quite literally the opposite of a white home. She’s genius and amazing. Y’all go show her some love! I promise you won’t be disappointed. ❤❤❤
Anyone who has spent 5 minutes looking at Kevrosehome’s account would know she was making an April Fool’s joke! It’s a shame she was misrepresented AND not credited!
I think someone else in another reply pointed it out best, but imo it's at least partially because of tiktok's current aesthetics and wanting everything to be minimalist and plain.
My father spent 20 years renovating a house from the 1800s to original condition. A couple bought it above asking price and.... gutted it to tbe studs. All original hardwood floors (that are from now extinct trees, mind you), skeleton key locks, gorgeous marbled flooring, original fireplaces and staircase.. all of it gone. It became a 1 bedroom 1 bath open concept house from a 3 bed 2 bath with a front room, living room, dining room, and kitchen. I have never seen such despair in my father as when we drove by after the couple bought it to see them settling in only to arrive to a demolition crew throwing materials into a giant dumpster parked in the driveway. It was his lifes masterpiece and it was ruined. My father unfortunately didnt own it, he renovated it as a favor to my uncle. None of us could predict what these women would do to this house. It was move in ready and in the historical district so there was no reason to think it would be "renovated". Nowadays, my dad blames HGTV for the pop up of DIY and house flipping tom foolery.
Well, it's their property now and they can do whatever they like, whether or not y'all like it. I hate that he wasted so much money to renovate the house for years only to sell it.
This is why in the past home owners would receive request letters of potential buyers giving their reason why they would make the perfect home owner for that build.
WHOA WHOA WHOA! Chelsea @ Kevrose Home was JOKING about painting the floor! That was her April Fool’s joke. She’s a genius and is restoring caring for the home. She definitely knows what she’s doing. Her home is Iconic. Shes literally famous FOR IT!
Or the percentage of people who read captions is depressingly low -plus, if this creator asked permission to use others videos like you’re legally supposed to, we wouldn’t be having this conversation 😊
@@MatecaCorpit’s in the description. It was posted April 1st. It’s obvious. I think it just doesn’t fit the message she wants for her video where she’s poking fun at millennials for remodeling since she’s the perfect example of a millennial doing it right.
@@MatecaCorpher prank actually went over really well on her insta where it was obvious it was a prank, but you sure are stupid for making this comment with zero critical thinking.
No actually it’s called an April Fool’s joke. The video you showed of the woman painting her floors not only showed it was an April Fool’s joke but also prides herself on maintaining the vintage charm and character of her home. That’s literally what her entire account is about.
I swear by the time vintage comes back in style people will start complaining wondering where all the vintage pieces went and want to redo everything they did. I’m betting this is what is gonna happen
@@AnonymooseWasMyName You're so right, lemme just go chop a tree down and grab my pocket saw so I can make a slightly worse version of a thing that already exists.
@@AnonymooseWasMyName You know what, you're right. Let me randomly make something so in 20 years it will considered vintage. Oh, I just remembered DIY doesn't automatically make something vintage. It won't work.
Everyone started to knock down walls for open concept areas and now the new trend is the becoming opposite lol. And everyone painted everything shiplap white (HGTV) and now the new trend is becoming darker colors. If people just waited awhile their current look would be “in”. Now that most of them have redone their homes they are soon to be out of style again lol. I do what I think fits me and not what everyone else is doing. When I said what I wanted my builder thought I was making a big mistake. When it was finished he really liked it and asked to bring potential buyers over to see it.
As a Gen X, this instantly reminded me of the house dynamic in Beetlejuice between the ghostly original owners, and the new trendy couple moving in, painting over everything. I'm a woodworker, in my mind, you NEVER paint wood- if it's worn out, you sand it down and restain and revarnish. It's not just about _white_ paint- old real wood deserves to be seen. Paint of any color is for sheetrock, plastic and veneer wood/particle board only! My handmade cabin is small, all white walls and ceiling - in Candlelit White, not the sterile hospital white. But all the accents, the furniture, are golden oak stained wood. It's perfect. Just enough wood grain to stand out against the walls.
@iihearttropicalpunch right... the internet is the wild west people be talking shit without getting slapped in the face so just say fuck u to the haters because they are just giving you clout
First of all the grandfather clock clip was a restorer I follow who was posting an April fools joke. She actually does an amazing job at restoring old furniture. Maybe people need to learn to read more these days? I dunno 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
She didn’t know that, this is a reaction video not a fact check. That’s like playing a game and being asked to study its lore. It’s face value. But people can’t read, right?
I’m a millennial and I would DIE to have a vintage house with beat up wood floors and a grandfather clock. I HATE this. Right to jail. No windows, no doors. Seal them in all together. Hate, hate, hate, double hate, LOATH ENTIRELY!!!
I grew up in a house built by my family when I moved that house was 80 years old the windows were held up with rope a set of modern-day sliders ever since I moved I've always wanted a house like that in the middle of the woods away from people this is why.
Millennial here as well and I hate the sad beige aesthetic a lot in our generation seem to like. My bedroom is covered in tapestries and decorated things . They would have a heart attack if they saw my room 😂😅
A lot of thoughts here: That copper sink was literally gorgeous. I do agree that the blue clashed with it, but the way she went about fixing it 😬 Keep the copper sink, it’s so unique. Paint the cupboards green, or maybe even a darker color like black so the sink really pops. You could change out the hardware (cupboard and cabinet handles) for copper ones and it would look gorgeous! Painting over the granite: no. My parents painted their countertops and it chips all the time. You have to repaint every so often and it’s just a hassle and looks so, so cheap. Don’t do it. The marble floors??? That’s an accident waiting to happen. I slip constantly on tile floors as an adult. Pure marble floors? Get ready for someone to sue you for having your floors too slippery or to be constantly having to take your kid to the doctor for all the hard falls they’re going to have on that floor. If you really didn’t like the carpet, go for wood. Painting everything white: I hope to god you don’t have a dog. Also you’re going to see every little stain everywhere. Especially those hardwood floors being painted white. You’re going to see the mud you track in everywhere. I’m going to be honest the antique desk doesn’t piss me off that much. I actually kinda like it. Would I do it myself? No. But like the look is fine. It feels like too much effort for something you can buy similar of at Walmart. But getting cute decorations that you DIY into something else… just… just make it yourself or find an alternative at Walmart. There are people (like me) who would love those stools or that thing that became a spice rack. Hiding thermostats… “Which basket is it underneath again?” (Cue a 2 hour long hide and seek session with the thermostats) You know what really sucks? This is going to be out of style in like ten years and we’re going to have so much sad beige stuff in thrift stores.
I didn’t even consider all the beige stuff that’s gonna end up in thrift stores, Christ the future is bland. On the bright side I hope we start a new trend of diy-in old sad beige items into unique ones
I keep thinking about what to do with that copper sink because that color does not match I'm not very good with colors but I think black cabinets and replace the countertop with a marble that would allow the copper to pop out more would be good
I agree, and even if they didnt like the copper on the sink CHANGE THE SINK NOT THE BLUE. It was nice how it was and it did clash it would look good anyway you style it like white sink blue counters, sage green counters and the copper sink WOULD LOOK SO GOOD
Copper sinks aren't good for kitchen sinks because they stain really easily from acidic stuff, which is 99% of fruits and vegetables. Plus they get dinged really easily, so even putting a pot in the sink a little too heavily will ding and scrape it up. My friend has one and it looks super blotchy after years of cooking, she loved it at first but now honestly hates it. If you're going to have a copper sink, have it be a low traffic sink that doesn't need to be able to take wear and tear, like a bathroom sink. Kitchen and outdoor sinks should be a sturdier, harder material that won't stain or dent as easily as most metals will.
As a millennial homeowner who drools over these beautiful older properties, every single one of these "flips" made my heart hurt so much. I recently found a furniture flipper online who restores these "flipped" pieces to their original glory and it heals each wound caused by white paint just a little.
So, we having a flipping cycle? Flippers like this who make vintage things look generic painted and those who make generic painted things look vintage?
I am a professional that does this in Pittsburgh, PA. We have so many amazing 200 year old properties here. I just restored 100 year old wood work, door and window frames from at least 12 coats of paint and they look incredible, now. I'll have my site up soon. Also, I have an all female crew, We're mostly GenXers that grew up in the houses they're destroying. Broad Strokes LLC. Also, I'm hiring.
@@olivescoveAlso, can't if sell for a lot or something because of how old and and unique it looks? But not if its being painted white cuz then it just looks well, not unique anymore you know?.
Like, it would be okay if they had it restored and repainted a little bit (still the same color though), but painting it to be their ugly tiktok aesthetic, unacceptable
Ahh, now we see the clever ones coming out! I'm so glad you were smart enough not to be fooled by a April Fool's video, thank you for making such an effort to tell us all how brilliant you are. You ever consider that Hayley knows it was April Fool's, but thought the example was worth using anyway, to make the point?! No, that never crossed your brilliant little minds, did it?
@@stillwatersfarm8499 There's nothing more vindictive than Millennial trolls pretending to have morals. Get off your high horse, no one believes you're seriously on a mission to stop plagiarism. _You_ grow up, I'll stay a youthful 58 forever!
Listen, I agree that all historic wood should be preserved. Problem is, I don’t own it all. So it’s not my business what other people do. Putting people on blast when they are JOKING, isn’t doing anything but making it obvious you did not read the captions of 2nd and 3rd videos. They were both April Fool’s Jokes. Please do more research in the future.
This hurts me as a history buff and nerd…THAT’S HISTORY. WHY ARE YOU MESSING WITH HISTORY?! I know there will be people saying “iT’s ThEiR hOuSe ThEy CaN dO wHaTeVer ThEy WaNt To iT!” No…just no. Houses have HISTORY and to completely wipe that history away for a “minimalistic aesthetic” (aka my own personal nightmare) is so just…it feels so wrong! Every little thing doesn’t have to be aesthetic! To completely wipe away a house’s history all because it’s not minimal is just straight up bs to me idc what anybody else thinks!
I would suggest not using someone else’s April Fools Joke that you did not read and use it for your own monetary gain! These people are actually saving old and antique furniture and rehabbing old homes to their original glory!
THE BATHTUB WAS VILE. I personally would've taken off the angel for personal style, but for the rest of it I would cherish it for life. Destroying the banister was ATROCIOUS.
seriously who paints floors to be white in their house plus you have have to sand the floors and do all sorts of other stuff before you even would paint them and just buy sanding it you would have fixed all the damage on them
I just can't stop thinking about how it's impossible to find furniture made of genuine solid wood outside a thrift store or estate sale. It's all particleboard now. I'm not the biggest paint fan but it hurts to see the wooden desks cut up like that
I especially hate the partical board stuff. I had a cheap desk (didnt need anything much better) but I had termites in my room earlier this year and it became a NEST bc of all the crevases. But they also damaged a few old baskets my mom had in my closet and a shelf that went with my grandparents old and very nice night stands (i only have 1 of them), and that is what really sucked 😢 Idk why I went on this lil tangent i just hate termites >:(
The second clip of the girl painting the grandfather clock was an April fools prank, she said she quickly wiped it off after filming. She said it in the description and the comments a few times :)
Best thing: whatever that „technique“ they did is, it’s not „century old German whatever“ I’m from Germany and I never heard of it (German schmear or something)
literally! when i saw the video ending i literally just said: "Wait they aren't done?" because I have seen people use that technique to fill in holes and cracks on things and then they paint over it! It would still be no excuse for ruining a perfectly good campfire, but it just looks like it was half finished, or as if they were gonna paint over it. It looks so ugly now!
As the child of a family made entirely of contractors who’s been doing home-improvement projects my whole life; this is my personal hell. Nothing twists a knife in my heart like seeing something unique turned generic. And can someone please educate these folks that you should be using the proper materials for these surfaces??? WOOD STAINS and VARNISHES exist!!! You can stain grout different colors. Those old hardwood floors would’ve looked wonderfully refreshed if they had just buffed and polished them. There are stickers that look like wall tile you could’ve placed instead of painting them- a genuine copper farmers sink like that is easily $6k! Instead of painting the fabric (which that did not look like fabric paint) you could’ve just gotten it reupholstered.
I'm a millennial and I decorate in mostly vintage. Mainly mid century modern. I can't tell you how many pieces I have stripped paint from and brought back the beautiful teak wood! It drives me crazy to see!
Ohhh no!!! 😭 I have a grandfather clock that my actual grandfather left for me after he passed and I would NEVER dare do anything aside from dust it!! These pieces are meant to STAY as they are!!!
If an item is antique and old, it should be left alone. There is a very limited supply of 200 year old items, wheteras any modern peice can still be made.
Ruining antiques just makes it so there's nothing left for the people who actually know how to fix up and RESTORE the antiques and give the items a second life
If you’re going to be a bully at least do your research & make sure you’re correct first. At least 2 of those (painting the floors and clock) were April Fool’s jokes & were labeled as such. Also, as a creator you should give credit to other creators whose content you steal.
The person who bought the only colored vase from an entire shelf of white vases just to PAINT it white and place on the shelf of their all white home encapsulates this perfectly.
Somehow I find it quite difficult to criticize people for their taste in interior design. There is an overabundance of furniture (at least here) and all of this “antique vintage furniture” sits around for years because no one wants it. So what's wrong with it if someone buys it and repaints it or something similar? There's no arguing about tastes.
I have to agree. My mom is a avid thrifter now days so I've been in a lot of antique shops, thrift stores and garage sales alongside her. There is plenty of old furniture. They aren't going extinct any time soon. And paint can be removed. Maybe the next person the white-painted antique chair goes to will strip the paint and restore the original look, if that's what suits their fancy. The piece isn't 'destroyed' because someone painted it.
My best friend bought an apartment with a beat-up, vintage wooden floor. She hired renovators to restore the floor to its original glory, and now, sanded and varnished, it makes her place beautiful and unique. How anyone could put white paint over such beauty is beyond me.
My mother is simply obsessed with renovation TV shows and anytime the buyer purchases a beautiful Victorian home that just needs a little fixing up for any parts that might be not up to code or simply falling apart and next thing I know they’re turning it into a exact replica of a beige gray white and black modern home and it hurts because I love Victorian homes
the amount of times I scream internally that they're ruining the actual structure of the house by making it "open floor plan" even if they put those massive beams in, the outer walls were NOT made to support that extra weight, which is why a lot of Victorian homes have a traditional floor plan to distribute all the weight of the upper floors. So many times I've been in open-plan homes to see the upstairs floor heaving or warped is sad. Makes me scared I'm going to fall through the floor.
Both of these people you featured are lovers of authenticity and these were both April's Fools JOKES! Way to use other people's content to promote yourself and also take it out of context 🙄
As someone who loves wood, this hurt my soul. My mom would have LOVED those 1755 wood floors because they're old growth oak (most likely)! That's why the planks are so big, btw. And you can't get old growth oak anymore because it was considered waste wood, so it was used for poor people's furniture and floors, and so much was cut down that you actually can't get it anymore.
@@BreathingFeelsGood Probably smelled really good too (I love the smell of old wood. Old wood just has a smell that is impossible to describe, but VERY pleasant to me!)
1. Credit the creators whose content you’re using. 2. The Grandfather clock video was an April fools joke. Read the captions before you judge and make a video slamming someone.
I found it awful. Tastes differ, I guess. I do wonder about how it looked in person as opposed to people online saying it's "gorgeous" because it might not have looked great and those people live there and use that bathroom daily so if that tub is not nice, that's a reasonable decision.
Exactly!! It looks like a bathroom suited for a princess, or a noble, it looked gorgeous, and she replaced it for an ordinary everyday bathtub you can get at IKEA. Ridiculous.
@@elizajade7039 Apparently that's a crime now. It's very odd, though because current fashion seems a mass of baggy neutrals. I wonder if the love for anything extremely colorful no matter how ugly or not is a compensatory mechanism.
@justaname999 me saying electric chair was obviously hyperbolic. I thought it was a brilliant piece of work but obviously everyone has different opinions. I thought that was just a given but apparently not lol
Seeing that grandfather clock being destroyed was heartbreaking, and they are a work of carpentry and craftsmanship! Its a work of ART!!! Stained perfectly, like a statue!
As someone who restores antique furniture to its prime and tries to get to the level of woodworking, my pop pop was. it is painful to watch the gorgeous natural grain of wood get covered. i think the grandfather clock was cherry wood.. 🙃
I just visited my great Aunt today, and I LOVE her interior decor. It looks elegant and actually feels more homely and comfy than all of the minimalist stuff that is made of crappy material. I’m also a photographer, so doing ANYTHING with old photos is literally gut-wrenching to me…
Real, knowing those fruit stools are probably now painted a said beige and white annoys me to badly. Like they would have looked cute at a fruit themed bar.
For the rose bathtub, all I would have done would be either painting the walls white, or a more pleats shade of pink and that’s all because that bathtub is truly beautiful
The “painting the grandfather clock white” video at the beginning was actually an April fools joke, the lady did NOT paint it white. It was in the description where she said it was for April fools
This is genuinely so upsetting to see. My chilhood home had antiques EVERYWHERE, you could make a musuem out of it, and I cherished every vintage, old and crazy item we had. There was so many genuinely beautiful and authentic things in the house but when my mom sold it, she sold it with the furnishings, so the antiques went with it. I really hope the lovely mother who bought our house understands how precious those items were and either kept them as they were or gave them to friends who understand how to appreciate them. Thrifting isn’t even thrifting anymore, it’s just a secondary to DIY culture because people who clearly have money won’t go to their local arts and crafts store and thus have to remove another piece of someone else’s life from stores intended for the lower classes to purchase from. I once saw someone turn an old vintage military uniform from the 40’s into a piece for a Riddler cosplay, it’s just so disrespectful.
Millennial here, and I love all antiques! I have collected many over time, and have inherited many, which I couldn’t be happier with. I would die to have the pink bathroom since my apartment is shabby chic! It’s heartbreaking to see such artful and super unique pieces with such character demolished.
So my childhood home is one of the original homes built in my hometown, and in ways is an eyesore to some of my neighbours. The farmhouse I want to say is around 130 years old. Now the original part of the house is a beast, and has outlasted every botched extension a professional contractor we have hired to add to it. I'm very grateful my mother had been so deadset on respecting the old bones of the house, most of the original floors still exist, or were redone in the 80's before my parents bought it and only the new extensions have modern flooring. I will credit her for teaching me to appreciate the character of an old home. But as the house is very closed off and wasnt built to be changed into a modern open concept home, so we were planning to sell the house someday. And oh boy did realtors have things to say about our home. One even suggested for us to paint every floor so they were all the same colour (because most of the rooms were different flooring, in pretty decent condition from the original construction of the house). They told us to remove the doors with the original skeleton key locks on them. And apparently, the GORGEOUS hand sculpted crown molding on the ceiling showed the age of the house... which if the 130 year part of the house has outlasted the 12 year modern extension, i feel like we should be really highlighting the goddamn old bones of this beast? It really broke our heart hearing how people might view this home as something that needed to be modernized than seeing it as a home with a lot of character
Same! Sold a home that lasted through floods/hurricanes etc from the 30’s. Eyesore of the block but home was sturdy AF and never got flooded while all neighbors did. Don’t let Realtors disrespect your HOME. I went through 4 millenial realtors before I settled on one Gen xer who didn’t make us change a thing. She sold as is and We ended up getting more than we thought!
my family bought an authentic BEAUTIFUL 1960s home and have completely tore it apart and have changed every single unique part of it with boring white and black and marble furniture. They completely changed the kitchen, and have painted anything that was a quirky color white. We had an entire wall that was made of red brick in our living room and they made it white. It’s like being in a mental ward in here
it-it looks like mold got into all the crevices somehow why would you do that who the heck would look at that fireplace and think "cottagecore wowwwww" no it just looks like a dirty fireplace that somebody would clean out on youtube with all the comments being "wowwww it looked so much better underneath so satisfying!!!" like a carpet cleaning video
You know what the worst part is??? Apparently, that's not even her house; her and her husband bought this house to renovate and resell, since they're delisional enough to consider themselves house flippers. This house she's "renovating" **cough** destroying **cough** had a BEAUTIFUL indoor greenhouse as well. She removed all the soil and planters, poured concrete into the flooring of that room, and turned it into an art studio, then had the audacity to be like "this property has an acre of land in the backyard, so there's plenty of space to garden if the buyer chooses to do so!" Omg I was FUMING at that point of the video. Then she felt the need to get a cheesy mural painted on the wall of this new art studio...just leave it blank, the whole point of art is to express yourself, so tbh someone will buy that house, and just paint over the mural with white paint for THEIR own art preferences anyways!
I saw a different video on this. Apparently she didn't stop with that. She ruined the entire room. She even added a fake, foam beam at the top then installed a lamp into it.
9:39 idk why people say that the granite make the counter dirty when the white color is gonna make the problem 10x worst because it gonna make it more visible at least with granite you can have it dirty for a few days before you have to clean it
The paint will also get stained and that stain won't be easy to remove so it'll just end up looking way worse and it could chip and get into food which is way worse then slightly dirty counters.
Here’s the thing. I get it if you don’t like the “aesthetic” of something but you didn’t have to buy the house. Like she said in the video you can find another house. And again like she said go and buy the piece instead of turning something original into something you see everyday. Edit: this isn’t about having the right to do something, it’s about the reasons why. People are trying to make everything the same and in the process they are ruining things that aren’t made anymore.
@@clairejohnson4633 Not every discussion is about whether you have the legal right to do something. Of course you have the "right" to do it, but that doesn't make it a good thing.
@@clairejohnson4633honestly, the whole “people should be able to decorate their house however they want” argument is very one sided. If you want to turn it into a funhouse, more power to you. But god forbid you do the opposite lmfaoo
@@clairejohnson4633Because people don't get permission from the original home owners about changing or throwing away furniture. There needs to be a discussion. Maybe the old homeowners would take the furniture back or sell it instead to see it get thrown away?
THE LITTLE GIRL IN MY HEART CRIED SEEING THAT ROSE BATHTUB. I’ll move the angel somewhere else, BUT I WOULD ADD SOME STAINED GLASS TO THAT SIDES OF THE BATHTUB FOR THAT SHIMMER
I saw one of these videos the other day where they took a beautiful cherry wood dresser and painted it. The craftsmanship was absolutely stunning! To make matters even worse, it still had the original paper label on the back giving the manufacturer along with the date it was made, 1935, and they just scraped it off!
I'm so glad someone made a video addressing this. Every time I see a "flip" my heart literally breaks. Such gorgeous, timeless pieces that we are never going to have again because everything now is made so cheaply and with no craftsmanship it seems.
I've seen millennials, Gen X, and Boomers destroy Spanish tile that had been in homes for over a century. To put..... vinyl plank in its place. I wanted to scream when I saw it.
As a person, one of the youngest gen z's(15 years old). I adore vintage things, as well as fashion, architecture and items. I even made my own Gothic Manor in bloxburg. I fear that when I get older I won't be able to see these types of houses due to people ruining them, I myself would really want one of these vintage houses when I'm older but I can't help but feel that I'll be stolen from that opportunity very early in my life.
This is not a millennial only thing, I see a lot of Gen Z creators doing these atrocities too, and a lot of millennials (like me) criticising this. I'm one to make my opinions on this very clear every time I see it, specially because I love history and I know the damage this is doing to those pieces that are so full of history and character and turning them completely bland and damaging them.
yeah, at this point, if she doesn't slap "millennials" on it, she's scared nobody will watch or that people will be confused about who she wants to call out ;) I agree with you to some extent but I do think that something like that putto bathtub is a question of taste. I don't think they were tearing out baroque putto statues and columns. That was a gaudy thing in my view that someone might have done in the 80s and I don't think that should be a reason for someone not to buy a house if they like it. I completely agree on not painting wood floors or furniture white, but removing a pink bathtub with an angel sitting atop it, I think I can let that slide.
understandable, but it is overwhelmingly a millennial phenomenon. mostly because many Gen Z people prominent online are 18-23 so a lot of them aren’t homeowners. they may do shitty thrift flips but their impact is minimal. it’s mostly millennials who are buying and changing entire houses under the guise of “aestheticism”
I'm a millennial and we're slowly restoring our 1916 craftsman home. Most of our furniture is from the 1930's and before. This video made me feel so sad and sick it was hard to watch 😭
The clock and the floors were an April Fools joke, they were not really painted. I can’t speak for the other stolen videos, but know that research was not done when the videos were collected here to shame people
We bought my hubby's family home..it was built in the 1800s. Yes it needs a lot of work but it has so much charm. Folks are always saying they think it is such a cool house. Yes we are working on things to keep it so we can pass it on to our boys. We have just put a new roof on it and redid the upstairs. Slowly working on it but we are not taking away the charm
I largely agree with you but removing carpet is where I 100% disagree. Removing carpet is never a bad choice. You cant clean that thoroughly. Its kinda nasty although how nasty depends on who lives in the house. I have always had pets which makes carpet so much worse. It looks like that person kept it as concrete which is kinda cold but its in the basement so something like wood wouldn't even be a good choice. Concrete is a good basement choice. Throw some rugs down and you are good to go. Its also not like carpet has value. Its not an antique that should be protected.
