    for the first time I have to say, there are some things I liked better befor...for instance that room with the fireplace ...the sofa couch was perfect the other way around lentgth wise.

      ​@@divinesignatures6225probably sun glare on tv the 1st way. Remove the tv and put the sofa facing the backyard...however they have a more formal room like that, do they need 2 side by side?

    @ArtbyOscarMejia 6 місяців тому +31

    Yeah is a no for me, Hilary is great but I don’t think mid century is here forte. The kitchen doesn’t feel mid century, that backsplash looks like a after thought, she should have gone with a full teal backsplash , the use of bold colors (like the orange entry door) is something characteristic of the mid century modern style. I did like the configuration of the original sofa but the way Hilary did it makes more sense if it’s going to be a tv centric room

      Designers never fully commit to 'mid century modern' but at least the kitchen was not fake "Shaker" cabinetry. My choice would have been something retro and wipe clean, wallpaper that echoed the era of the house.

    23 weeks just stuns me! And no fireplace? Why not switch to gas or electric logs? This reno is largely a big waste of a lot of time and money. I even dislike the black sink, will show every speck of dirt and water marks. I agree with nearly all the other comments, really a disappointment.

    The fridge is as far as ;possible from the sink. Somebody is going to get really annoyed after a while. The original kitchen looked fine. Also, now the couch is facing sideways from the fabulous outdoor view. And the blue wall tiles in the kitchen would drive me crazy. This was not one of HIlary's best.

      The lady did not like the kitchen, (it was to much white) I think that was the only reason for changing it. I do like the new backsplash! Very different, and taken with the customers admiration of that type of tile for a backsplash, I’d say it was a good choice on Hilary’s part.

    23 weeks for what? And I won't even ask what they spent! I have always loved what Hillary does but I guess no one is infallible, this for me was an epic fail. The kitchen backsplash, getting rid of the fireplace, the bathroom is not mod and all she did was re-use over half the owner's furnishings and paint everything white when anyone who knows MCM that it's all about the major color blocking. So disappointed that I even watched this seeing that I liked the house for the most part better before.

    Owner walks into the the original huge kitchen with a beautiful island: "The functionality for me, is not there". WTH? Such a first world "problem". It was perfectly fine.
    The blue tiles were a turn off. Nice touches like the black sink, pot filler, and drawer microwave, but not a win, in my opinion.

  • @L.Spencer
    @L.Spencer 6 місяців тому +3

    I like it, especially that she kept the integrity and feel of the home. I don't care for some of the tile but that's ok. I think the sofa facing the tv is good, because it would be hard to watch tv with the afternoon light coming in behind it. Unless they watch it at night, but then they probably wouldn't be looking outside at night anyway. I'd have kept a fireplace, like a midcentury one.

  • @katanyajason3316

    I fear the tiles in the kitchen and bathroom won't age well. They are very busy and they might get tired of them after a while.
    And shudder when I look at all those sharp cornered handles in the kitchen! My thighs would be blue and just imagine if a toddler walks into that kitchen. I like that style of handle but they make the same ones with rounded corners.
    Even the cloakroom handles have sharp corners but that is less of a problem asI think there's less possibility of bumping into them.

    @4:09, insofar as there needs to be a rug, the original one was much better than the white, fluffy STUPIDITY. Hilary Farr should have gone for something that contained the red-orange and brown zones. Ditto for the new sofa that now barely seats two. @5:30, does this woman know nothing about staging? The bar cart should be moved over so that it hides the ugly access panel, while at the same time freeing the electrical outlet. I was prepared to HATE the kitchen, but I mostly like it, especially the modern slab doors and drawer fronts - don't like the wall tiling and the fridge/freezer should be "counter depth" instead of a jutting behemoth. @8:31, at last, tiles that are actually not the usual HGTV special. @9:05, that gap is going to allow run-off to dribble down the side of the countertop. @9:25, that is a HUGE television and in the bedroom, too. Really?

    I liked this reno - Hilary had so much to work with, the design and layout of the house was already stunning - but she made it much warmer and stylish and added a lot of functionality. Wasn't a fan of the tiles but they look like nice quality and added some missing color and interest. Agree I would have kept the fireplace but I think she did a great job on this overall - she didn't try to compete with the original design or view of the house, which is what makes it stunning. She focused on areas that could be livened up and stylized better and some real improvements to the bathroom layout and lighting.

    When she said the kitchen wasn't functional, I thought she was referring to the island in the middle of the kitchen "triangle" blocking the fridge from the sink and stove. But apparently not, because there is now an even bigger island to walk around to get to the fridge.
