Unsellables | FULL Episode | Wallpaper Woes 

The daughter is expert at handling her mother's passive aggressiveness. Wonder how long she's had to do that.

I’ve been binge watching these shows and I can’t believe how lazy this homeowner is! I feel for the crew dealing with that.

I see a theme in all of these....I want to sell but I don't want to lift a finger.

The daughter is an absolute sweetheart. The dinning room and the living room came out great.

ONE BATHROOM!?? Only 1? THAT'S what the addition should have been years ago.

One bathroom would be a big turnoff for anyone nowdays

If only the wallpaper would come off that easy in my house! At least 3 layers on EVERY wall!

I think it still needs at least a powder room. Few houses in nice neighborhoods have only one “toilet and sink”.

The kitchen was lovely afterwards, just shortening the breakfast bar and adding the storage unit was a game changer for the room, once that horrendous wallpaper had gone!

I would have done the addition as a new kitchen and used the plumbing in the old kitchen to put in another bathroom,

Thank you for taking down the wall paper. In other videos I’ve seen painting over it, to me that is lazy and if I bought a house like that the first thing I would do is take the wallpaper off

I think the house they look at sold because there was two bathrooms 😁

Why do they need that sad eat-in counter that is taking up space when there is a kitchen table in sight? I've watched 4 of these makeovers and this one is my least favorite. The homeowner was bristling against every suggestion

Smart, friendly daughter. But the mother is testy and clueless!!

Why do Americans need 3 sitting areas? But no storage for shoes, coates and bags in the entryway? 🤔

one bathroom and three bedroom no way 😵

Why did they spend money to add yet another sitting area, but not a second bathroom?

1800 square feet and only one bathroom - that's a no for me.

the mom's neck...

I also thought that THREE sitting areas/living rooms right next to each other was weird. Should have made one of them into something else imo. Dining room looks so much better.

OMG! the 80's exploded

You walk into the sitting room, then another sitting room and yet third sitting room - YIKES! Replacing one with an office space would have been more practical. There were too many competing blues in the TV space. The homeowner was right about the blue backsplash, it looked so out of place especially with all the lime green ( I forgot how popular that green was 10 years ago). I thought the dining room lacked a unified theme/look.

Hey now, the reason why we got so lucky with our house was the horrible wallpaper. It was obvious that despite the hot real estate market nobody wanted to touch it. The house was structurally solid, new heating system, no issues, great neighborhood but every single room, with the exception of the kitchen and the full bath was covered in hideous wallpaper and the decor was seriously questionable. I saw past all that.

The thing that I like about these shows is that they show you how to update your home without having to spend a lot of money.

Wallpaper is making such a comeback! At least its easier to remove nowadays

If you routinely do updates in your rooms (paint color, drapes/no drapes, furniture being moved around, removing furniture pieces that your family has outgrown or no longer uses, etc.) you end up not having to do so much updating at once right before selling. Because as these ladies found, all the updates you do yourself are going to seem overwhelming and you will freeze and not be able to prioritize and get things done. And you will end up doing nothing and living in outdated, tired surroundings. One thing about this house is three eating areas (we've seen this ourselves in other houses), outdated wall papers, and furniture that is too large for the room. Often, leather poufy couches are too large for rooms, and especially L-configured leather, dark sofas are like a sunken hulk of a ship marooned in your living room. Do not buy them. Go with sofas in lighter colors and sleeker shapes even with a few inches off the floor to create a feeling of lightness and airiness. Those cushy old leather or fake leather sofas really SUCK. They have no support, it's difficult to get up from them. They are just too big and too ugly. Before shopping for a sofa MEASURE your living room or the room it is to go in and see exactly how much space you have available. Or you may get a horrid shock when you get the sofa delivered and it's too big, too dark, too overwhelming, and does not allow you to walk around it with ease. Smaller sofas are also easier to move around to make your room feel newer without spending a dime. When it was time for spring cleaning, my Mom would routinely move the furniture around. It gave us a "new" living room without costing a dime. You can't do that with overly large, L-shaped sofas -- they often only fit one way in a room and it may cause you to have to walk around the entire piece to enter the seating area.

Honestly I like that black floral wallpaper in the original dining room. Probably wouldn't put it on every wall, but a feature wall or something would be nice imo. The kitchen/lounge wallpaper is pretty horrendous though.

Loose the wall paper and breakfast bar. I'd look at extra cupboards in place of the breakfast bar. Light colours on the walls and get rid of the hideous furniture. Money should of been spent on an extra bathroom not extra,unused living areas.

For that much money I'd like more than one bathroom.

I wish we could see her new house after she moved in lol

Black wallpaper was actually good and had a lot of character, it just had to be styled right. I would not have a problem buying a house with such wallpaper.

the comp houses's kitchen made my mouth water.

Wallpaper would make me walk away from a house.

I actually like wallpaper, but that is a big turn off in a house you're considering because it takes so much work to change it. And a lot of people just HATE wallpaper, even the nice, expensive classy ones.

Now come on, who in the world tries to sell a house with black floral wallpaper?? That's gonna drive buyers away like a freaking cockroach! Seriously, black floral?? Smh..

The downstairs of this house has the strangest layout ! which is really hard to zone ! I still don’t like it , but it is better 👍🏻

its funny that they converted their garage into a family room yet they said they never use the family room they already had lol . . . I dont think the mom liked the makeover she said "its so. . . different" when asked if she liked it. she seemed slightly irritated haha

Sh*t I have never seen so much wallpaper in just one house.

379k 3 beds with ONE bathroom, seems a bit high to me. Must be the area that's pushing prices that way. I say that but the apartment I had in Santa Monica was tiny and pricey - I got a lot more for my money when I moved south-east.

The Willie Wonka room! 🤣

I actually did like this make over. I would have put the reading corner next to the other window and my shoe cabinet / bench at the first window and coat hangers opposite. It might not be so cute but it's realistic and usable. The "custom-built" entertainment center is actually Ikea with an little extra piece, but it's a good idea to personalize it a little bit.

I am always astonished at how many owners figure they should get near 1/2 million, and let the next person do the work. It is one thing for 1-200KMAX, butif you have that kind of money coming in, PAY someone to do it.

Why wants a breakfast bar where you sit facing a blank wall!

I'm glad they kept the carpet and the dining table. Looked amazing.

The entry way should have had a coat closet and an area to put away shoes when you have people over. This is the second video that has 3 sitting areas??? We are looking to buy a house and I can say that I would not really buy a pretty house without another bathroom to spare!

This was a fantastic transformation!

I love it! Great job 👍

Music loud and annoying!!!

Mom is a good sport. This design is an improvement. Light sells.

The mom seems to be leaning on the daughter - not especially healthy.

Awesome job again Sophie. The trolls on her are pathetic.

"Sold in only four months." That's a really long time. Where I live it'd be taken off the market and put back on a few months later. There are only a couple of weeks of interest and if you don't get a seller in that time period people won't look at it again.

the house looks lovely even before make over. I think the 1 bathroom will turn people off. The wallpaper is more maximalist style, not minimalist. Nothing wrong with that.

"My design style is eclectic." That's what all people with ZERO taste claim.

Ouch she is not happy ! 12 yrs wallpaper ? Her face ! Mad much?

I don't know why she keeps asking owners whether they 'like the palate'. I bet the first thing the Mom did when she moved into her new place was wallpaper it.

I really hate wallpaper! Probably because I had to remove so much of it during home renovations..

The background noise drives me crazy. Bye!

I have binge watched 4 episodes. I love the neutral colors and clean lines. I loathe the shade of green accents.

I can't believe they spent $60 on duct taping carpet squares into a makeshift rug when they have two $25 Ikea rugs in the first sitting room 😂 😂 😂 the second sitting room also has an Ikea rug! Why not just buy yet another rug from Ikea instead of some DIY thing? Also, who need 3 sitting rooms???? Terrible use of space

Very good

Lol off topic, but you can always tell when someone’s been through a divorce and still came out ahead financially.

Loved the black wallpaper,should have kept it on one Access wall

No bedrooms? Also, only watched season 3 up to here, but have any of the houses on this show actually sold?

Mom needs to be more positive!!!

I see a lot of great houses.....with wallpaper. That's when my heart sinks. Personally, I still wouldn't buy this house because the kitchen is way too small, only 1 bathroom, and the living and family rooms are too close together. Sorry!

Nice job that house is going to go from cero to SOLD

Why there are many sitting arrangements after renovations

They should have built in a small closet at front of the house--there are 3 sitting rooms in the house!

Boutique shopping is a shot of Savannah, Georgia.

I don’t really like how theirs 3 living rooms basically when you walk in it feels weird and incoherent, also I would have just removed the breakfast bar entirely. I don’t want to eat facing a wall like that

Sophie is queen

I like the update. I can't appreciate the den area as I don't like super modern but it is much nicer than what was there before. It flows better, anyway.

'I don't want to do that work'

Kitchen eating area is still looking at the wall.

The mother has a hard time giving out compliments.

not a fan of the little eating area @ kitchen, facing a wall, I'd like to see a butcher block table & some more cupboard space, or a workable hutch with coffee bar etc....since there is a dining room to eat.

Hate it when they put books in the shelves backwards!

Come on!!! 3 living rooms??? You don't know to use the space, interior design is not only full the spaces with new or beautiful things!

The home owner has no taste

What about the upstairs?

I found her neck really distracting.

That is such a weird house. All the rooms are so awkward in shape and location. Terrible design. I think I saw glass blocks in that weird dining room.

What is on the other side of that kitchen? Because I don’t like open floor plans but I feel you could probably open up the kitchen a bit.

Almost $400,000 with only ONE bathroom?!

That is why I NEVER cared for wall paper. Like rabbits, it tends to reproduce & take over. Yipes!

Homeowners need to chill out when prospective buyers dislike their decorating. Buyers are not buying your style. They’re buying your house. Get over it!!!!!

The editors must've gotten their towns confused. The 4th house shown is in Lynbrook, not Commack.

The area rug 🤮

House looks great but still only one bathroom and no garage!

One bathroom + > $300,000 = No way!

Oh my gawd! Comack!

That facelift is a crime.

That black flowered wall paper was beyond "dated", it was really downright ugly.

Why we never saw the bathroom. With three bedrooms you definitely need two bath though

I would like to know what kind of software she uses.

Some wallpaper has a coating on It and it can be washed down.

It would be better to watch without that horrible music!

Are the Open House people told what to say?
