Yes, same here. They seem very genuine and likeable.

I also love Home Town.

Do you like Ben and Erin from Home Town? I love them so much.

Omg.... Yesss, I do😇

@@adbts24 I love both couples they are not only likable & genuine the English they speak is southern drawl & north eastern Atlantic accents.

Agreed, there is nothing MCM about the interiors or exteriors. They already had MCM elements in the original house, particularly the formica counter. They just had to maybe redo the cabinets and repaint the walls to a more unique color. The palette is really blah for MCM. The open plan kitchen/living room combo and shelving also screams modern, the wooden slats wall with black brick feel Japandi style as does the outside patio.

Agree. It's not MCM at all. Paiting the brick white on the outside pushes it even further away from MCM or a FLW home.

Exactly

I would also like a walk in pantry ❤

+100

Agreed. I like what they did, but definitely not as advertised 😅. Not sure what made them mention a design aesthetic that is so well documented, yet obviously not applied here 🤦‍♀️.

I can't fathom why everything is white...every remodel is white!?! On white...with white highlights

HGTV is evil.

@@CuriousCat0347 it’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen I just can I get with these modern designs.. I would take the old look and make minor upgrades. Also, she completely erased her grandparents from existence. there is not one piece of their history left in that house.

As well as it destroying the brick. Brick needs to breath. What once would have lasted more than another 100yrs will will start to crumble. As you said, it went from no maintenance to a pain in a year or two. 😞

@@crystalrabbon I live in a mid century home myself with a wall to wall brick fireplace, and would never touch it. A lot of the homes in my neighborhood are mid century, and seen people paint them white. Do board & batten instead or something that it can last for a long time. I thing people watch too much HGTV than George Nelson or Frank Lloyd Wright’s work.

@@Petitvoyage81 I agree! It's blasphemy and an abomination. LOL I thank God they never painted the brick outside! Our was built 1957. We have dual fireplaces and, thankfully, they only painted the brick on one side. My goal is to remove all the paint and maybe wainscot a little bit. I do the construction on my own, so I'm still thinking through how I want it done. :)

@@Petitvoyage81 Amen! Don't say you're doing mid century modern if you haven't studied the work of the greats in that genre. Most of the HGTV renovators don't have a clue what authentic mid century modern design elements are. I would be embarrassed to announce that this is Mid Century Modern style. Nelson and Wright are rolling over in their graves.

@@crystalrabbon Good luck with the Reno! Same here with my husband. Doing the work ourselves, preserving as much as possible. The only modern approach is the electrical, and some small touches.

My thoughts exactly! I couldn't live without upper cabinets. There are things you need to get to quickly that you don't want displayed on open shelves. I only store items I don't use as often in my lower cabinets. The lowers are deeper and I don't like rummaging around in there looking for something that has been pushed to the back.

Lowers can be good if they're drawers or they pull out. I agree that a traditional lower cabinet is a pain, but if they use drawers you don't have to lower yourself and lower cabinets are so much larger than uppers. I'm also short, so 2/3rds of my upper cabinets are impossible for me to reach without a stool lol, so they're may be a bias there

Most residential neighborhoods do

USA NEIGHBORHOODS ARE LOADED WITH TRUSTWORTHY PEOPLE AMERICAN CHRISTIANS ARE TRUST-BASED CULTURES, NOT LIAR- AND THIEF-BASED. WE ARE COMFORTABLE NOT SCARED AND HATE UGLY WALLS JUST LIKE WE HATE UGLY PEOPLE.

@@RockProductionsYT they be better off knocking the house down and starting again with something properly built and insulated lol

You read my mind! Exactly what I was thinking. 🤔

3 bedrooms, 1 bath(then), cool house, also had ac!

my thoughts exactly

That brick was in fantastic shape and was a pretty brick. No discoloration at all. It makes me sick they painted over it. They went from an exterior with no maintenance to a boring, flat color that will need maintenance from now on. The red brick had so much more character.

Stop worrying what others do to their homes!

Right? Damn near gave me a heart attack. My ranch home has the original cabinets and I would never even think of touching them

@@saltedslug our old house was a ranch over a crawl space and very cheaply built. We remodeled everything and actually had to put a header board back in from a horrible remodel the previous owner had done. We had to remove the old cabinets because they had an in-cabinet oven and separate range top. We wanted a combo unit because the oven was pretty small. I wanted to reuse the cabinets but didn’t have enough of them to fill the kitchen with the remodel. When we looked for new cabinets, everything that was “affordable” was absolutely trash quality. But the house was a cheap house in a declining neighborhood so we had to get out of there. Hell, those original cabinets were the best quality item in that house when it was built. I hung a couple of them for use in the laundry room, used a few more in the garage and donated the rest. So I hope someone got good use from them. Those old cabinets are so easy to refurbish with new stain/paint and hardware and they still will turn out better than anything new.

I agree 100%.

And the PIANO?!?!
