Patti and Ralph have lived in their family beach house ever since he built it 20 years ago. And not much has changed, including the outdated décor and some of the flaws that come with DIY territory. With their first child already in college and the three others quickly catching up, the couple is shifting their focus and need to downsize for the future. So now it’s up to property expert Sofie Allsopp to revamp this dated beach house before it languishes on the market for yet another year.

@makewayforthebuster 3 года назад

This is my favourite make over. What a great couple - raising their kids in a beach house. I thought the house was horrible at first, but it was genuinely a great house. Well done, Sophie.

@yootoob4516 6 лет назад

I love Patti's Boston-meets-Southern accent. It's awesome that the kids helped. They seem like a really nice family. The kitchen was an amazing makeover.

So glad ya'll went with live green plants not flowering. So many of us have allergies that pollenating plants aggregate. The brightening of the walls & tired ceiling high cabinetry really refreshed the beach house. Ralph did an amazing job creating a bachelor pad. Poor Patty had been underwhelmed their entire marriage. Good to get the kids involved so they can take pride in the updating as well. NOW the house should show well & sell. GOD BLESS the family into their relocation. Safe & happy future.

@victoriapacheco1590 3 года назад

@erynlasgalen1949 3 года назад

You should have seen the kitchen my mother had to live with during the first eight years we lived in my house. My father built it in 1952, and there were no kitchen cabinets until 1960. Then, they most unwisely bought Eurostyle cabinets up on stilts, with nine inches of dead space beneath for dropped forks, etc. to go beneath. Lost storage space, and you still have to clean the floor beneath. I'm still working with those damn cabinets sixty years later, and they're on their fourth facelift. The best part of being willing to live rough and make do? No mortgage, ever.

@virginiasoskin9082 3 года назад

Our first house was a sweet Cape Cod, custom designed and built by the man, a contractor. There were solid mahogany kitchen cabinets but they were so TINY you could barely stack dinner sized plates in them, and forget about a pantry or a cabinet for larger trays. It could take a half size dishwasher with full width stove or half width stove and full dishwasher. There was a sad lack of counter space too. But he made sure he had a garage with woodworking shop, full basement and amenities for HIM. That was funny. But the workmanship was excellent. It was a 1950s house complete with plastic bathroom tile, linoleum floors in the second floor bedrooms. It did have lovely hardwood floors on the main level. Had we stayed there we would have had to replace the roof and the windows. But we relocated. It had a small bedroom on the first floor that worked great for an office and later, a nursery, next to the bathroom and master bedroom.

@bevcrusher4177 3 года назад

It's dark because the house has no windows! A house like that in a beach location, should be predominantly glass. Full width full height stacking doors in that living area at least. Without lots of windows, houses are very unwelcoming and anti-human.

@fahnikan 3 года назад

This was nice, thank you!

@virginiamoss7045 3 года назад

The new wall color is no lighter than the soft yellow that was there before. It wasn't the wall color that was making it dark. One of my pet peeves is placing dinning tables upon a rug so that it's difficult to scoot your chair up and the rug gets full of foodstuffs and spills and is hard to clean. Don't do that! I know that when you enter a bedroom you are impressed when you see the bed in full, but it's better to place it on the blank wall so that you can see out the windows while in bed. I do not like to block windows with a bed as Sophie often does. In winter it can be cold and in southern summers it can feel hot. Making the entry area into a foyer/family coming-and-going kind of area is smart. Tracking in sand is inevitable in that area; it gets ground into flooring like sandpaper which is why the wood flooring looked so bad especially at the entry where they were covering it with a rug.

one thing i don't understand in general is why they'd have to change/paint/whatever all the furniture and walls. if i bought that house, that crap goes out anyway, because i'd put my own stuff in it. actually, i'd prefer a house to be completely empty if i was a potential buyer, because i want to take a look at the entire floor, the walls, ceiling, and the baseboards to make sure there's no damage (particularly water damage) that the seller covered up with pictures, shelfs, carpets, or couches.

Someone below said the same thing so I figured I was wrong. Thanks for taking the time to inform me. I'm originally from Wash. D.C. (well, two blocks from the dividing line between Maryland and D.C.) and have lived in Oregon. I'm now living in Utah so I'm rusty when it comes to New England accents. (Maybe I was never un-rusty?) There is a Utah accent in the rural areas. For example the town of Spanish Fork is pronounced "Spanish Fark" and Lord is pronounced "Lard." A mother will "bath her baby." I always thought it just sounded ignorant but after listening to the very prim and proper "King's English" on BBC I realized that some of the Utah accents and phrases originated in the British Isles because most of the pioneers who settled Utah emigrated from there. My aunt (in Maryland) pronounced my name "Bahbra." (My family has been in Maryland since the early 1600s.)

So I buy a house not the furniture or the seller's stuff. Also, I do it the way I want it. A new kitchen would be the first thing, no matter what the existing one looks like - and a rug on an old carpet would not work at all. That would be outside with me immediately, the bathrooms would also have to come out. Done I believe that the claims that are so emphasized in the countries led me to the answer - building is better for these gentlemen than buying used houses.
