Emily and Jason have to sell their two-storey, three-bedroom house before they can make an offer on their dream home. But after three months and a hundred showings, they haven’t received a single bite. Sofie loves the home’s period details and proportions…But says in a buyers’ market, the average interiors, gloomy atmosphere, and student vibe just don’t cut it.
In order to stand out from the crowd, Sofie comes up with a $4,100 to transform the home from drab to dynamic. And as Anthony and the team tackle the unsexy master bedroom, refresh the kitchen, and revive some flea market furniture, Sofie gives the couple valuable property insight, and renewed hope that they will finally move on.

If you like MDF and butcher block. They're not exactly using quality materials in any of their houses. I feel sorry for buyers who start noticing all the cheap shortcuts once they've moved into a house. Like OMG, it will take me years to get that tacky paint off the chestnut woodwork. Those two are a nightmare in Craftsman houses.

Having a movable island cart would have been so much better than that ugly "breakfast bar." You could move it closer to the sink & stove when cooking then push it against the opposite wall when not needed. Cabinet space underneath the island cart would provide much needed storage.

I'm going to make a crazy guess that little Miss Sofie has never seen a craftsman style home before.It will take lots of money to restore it back to what it would have looked like when it was built. I just restored a 1922 Craftsman it was a lot of work and money. Why do these people want to undo all that great wood work and part of history ?

@jannibal9273 5 лет назад

Most people are "mass" - in other words, they have little to know taste and little to know idea of what a Craftsman (Arts & Crafts) building actually is. Brett Waterman has had some good shows on - one was called "Restored" on HGTV (or maybe it was DIY) and he painstakingly strips off layers of paint to get down to original woodwork and tile. It drives me INSANE when people paint brick!

@@lesliecas2695 Maybe it's different where you are, but I paid the asking price for my first house and sold it 7 years later for almost exactly double that. My second house was listed at $210,000 and I got it at $163,500 by negotiating back and forth, offering $150,000 originally. My present house I bought 5 acres for $55,000 and had a custom house built for $170,000 (all cash). I added about $20,000 since. I'd be real lucky to sell it for $200,000; that's quite a loss, particularly when you add in realtors fees and other costs of selling, not to mention moving costs. It all depends on the current local market conditions, interest rates and cost of building materials.

As a potential buyer I'd rather have the former owner invest money into the kitchen, garden area or utility systems than into furniture to 'make it look nice' since they're taking those with them anyways. And as a seller I'd expect a potential buyer to be able to look past wall paint and beige sheets since those are things that don't affect the value of the house or the things the buyer can do with it in any way.

@tonibauer2949 3 года назад

Sadly, way too many people lack imagination. I bought a house that was filthy, needed new kitchen and bathroom floors, interior paint, landscaping, window coverings, etc. No one else wanted it, it was so awful. Had a little work done, did a lot myself over about 4 years, and made a lot of money on it. Also bought another house no one wanted because the outside was some weird, beat up blue painted product, the inside was so depressingly drab, dated, and unappealing and the owners left the heat on at about 40 during a cold winter while they were at work and the house was being shown. I got it at a good price when housing costs were very high, spent a few thousand on it in the 12 years I lived there and while I didn’t make much money on it because I sold it during the recession, I wasn’t under water like some I knew, and did ok. There are shows where people buy dumps and fix them up themselves, but this show is needed because there are tons of people out there who don’t have the slightest bit of savvy or imagination when it comes to much of anything, including houses. But, hey, why complain? It benefits people like you and me.

It's much too small to use, or even sit at to eat. Anyone with long legs would wind up sitting two feet away from the bar, which would barely hold a plate.

It's all a matter of what is "trending" at the time. There have been many cycles where naturally finished woodwork and original narrow plank wood floors was all the rage, then it was paint it all over and rip out perfectly good but old flooring for fake wide plank laminate! And then the cycle swung back again. These days, it seems to be more of a balance. Watching shows like Property Brothers where they're working in present time (these most of these Unsellable episodes are 10 years old and more) I think gives people a false idea of what most home buyers really want. If you're looking for a period home, you don't want painted woodwork and uber-modern interiors with every last bit of original character stripped out! Unfortunately, not many homeowners push back against people like the Scott brothers, they're too intimidated.

"Relatively affordable prices?" HA ha ha ha!!! If that house is selling for a whooping $449,000 then it's hardly what most people here in the USA would call relatively affordable...unless they live in New York City, Southern California or the pricey parts of Northern California. That's a mighty expensive house, IMHO. Sadly, now that Sofie Allsopp (AKA "The White Paint Queen") has gotten her tasteless claws into it, much of its original beauty is now marred. By the way Sofie, most architects would be quick to tell you that removing interior doors-especially on a Period home like the one you got your tasteless claws into here-not only destroys the home's original beauty, but also reduces its market worth and-even worse-makes the home a lot less energy efficient too. Furthermore, many potential home buyers DO NOT want to take on the added expense and time needed to re-install the original doors once you are stupid enough to remove them prior to the home's sale. For many savvy potential home buyers it's a deal breaker, unless the home's current owners are willing to fork out the money to re-install the doors themselves, and this couple don't seem to have a dime between them.

These aren’t even current prices, a house of this size, location and quality is prob. close to 1.5-2 million now

Kitchen is horrible, that tiny eating ledge is awful and impractical

@eleanoreagly4844 6 лет назад

Terrible to paint the woodwork. Add work space in the kitchen. Forget a breakfast bar use the dining room table for all meals. Stage with some nice furniture to get a fresh look.

@Sewingbee23 5 лет назад

Tell me about it. The previous owners have painted all the wooden floors so dark it's almost black. It's been a bugger to sand back to its georgeous colour

@trenawawrzyniak4397 3 года назад

Painting the plate rail is criminal in my opinion. Getting rid of the original natural wood is horrible. Paint on what was beautiful wood just ruined that home. Paint the walls a off white.

@kaitiesanders993 3 года назад

Why do they talk about making things appealing for a wide market and paint so many of the master bedrooms green??? LOL, I enjoy so much about this show but that just gets me. We'd have been painting before even moving in with that color.

@victorialine5984 2 года назад

These shows are quite old and I suspect that shade of green was the must have then, just like grey became the go to colour in later years.

WHERE WHERE WHERE is this house? A gentrified neighborhood...WHERE? Why is it always like pulling teeth with this show to find out WHERE they are?

@aprillittle595 6 лет назад

I had no idea homes in Canada were so incredibly expensive!!! And small! I about die when you say "spacious" and the whole house is maybe 1900 sqft. And at nearly a half million dollars??? Here, you can buy a 3600 sqft home on five gorgeous acres for that price.

@aprillittle595 5 лет назад

Of course, but you could also buy a small mansion in the burbs here for less. Just saying, markets are VASTLY different in different regions and I didn't realize Canada was like LA prices!

@Lisa-ym1si 3 года назад

I wonder if it’s Canadian dollars? That would account for some of it but also is this Toronto? If so that would make sense pricewise.

@jwilliams8931 3 года назад

@@Lisa-ym1si yes it’s Toronto and the price of this house has probably tripled since this show aired. I don’t know what people expect, there’s limited areas for homes and living downtown is something you pay for.

@amyrose7261 4 месяца назад

It honestly doesn’t look amazing but I don’t see why it didn’t sell. It’s really clean and the colors are fine. Sure it’s not decorated a ton but it seems like a sellable house. I wonder why it really wasn’t selling. 😮

@jessicamiller5536 3 года назад

I can't believe how many people are upset about the ugly dark wood trim being painted. I wouldn't be able to look at that ugly dark wood daily original or not.

@victorialine5984 2 года назад

They didn't paint over enough of it. 😂

When you have a big house with rooms u don’t use, but you want a bigger one because you don’t have enough space…. So maybe have one living room instead of two and repurpose the other one as a bedroom??

@dianethompson9525 3 года назад

What happens to the furniture and bedding, etc. after the house sells?

@jb6712 3 года назад

According to a recent article online about all the house shows, past and present, all of that is just rented, so it goes back to the rental places. If it's the homeowner's actual furniture, they just take it with them.

@virginiamoss7045 3 года назад

Right away I knew, I feared, she would paint Craftsman wood. Then she did; my heart hurts. How dare she! It's a crime! I understand why she did it, but the wall cabinet and lower molding could have been left alone.

@lucygray6162 3 года назад

The only taste Sofie has in in her mouth. She paints woodwork and antique furniture without a care, and loves Dollar Store accessories. She ruined this house.

@wendygillard2133 3 года назад

A huge improvement except for the kitchen.

@victorialine5984 2 года назад

The kitchen should have been left alone. The new owners almost certainly ripped it out and joined it to the dining room.

@Cathy-re2eo 2 года назад

I think the new floating shelf is too small for eating on!

@MsLouisVee 8 месяцев назад

Horrible that shelf to eat on in the kitchen, covered by sharp metal. I can just imagine gashing my arm on the corner of that with the sharp metal edge

Would it be possible to give the wall color names or numbers? Brand not so important, I’ll figure it out

@michaeltutty1540 3 года назад

Absolutely disgusted that they painted the woodwork. Were I looking to buy, my offer would be $5,000 lower to reflect the work needed to restore it. There are better ways to brighten a room. Why keep talking about original features in this beautiful Craftsman house and then work to hide some of them? It makes no sense.

@victorialine5984 2 года назад

'Were I looking to buy, my offer would be $5,000 lower to reflect the work needed ...'. The house needed work that others were not prepared to do, hence no sale. I like renovations and would have made a lot of changes to that little house. All the funeral home brown would have been painted over.

Breakfast bar is absurdly narrow. Sit facing wall 12" away... L.ol. Cabinets & standard height 36" counter top, maybe butcher block, would've been more practical & look better than a narrow board on the wall.
