    Sarah's face was funny when her husband came up with a different idea. She listen and that part I loved. Tommy of course was being his funny self.

    I love that Sarah said she doesn't design just to look pretty, she designs for life. That's my complaint about a lot of HGTV shows, I feel some of the designers just go for a high end look, but not for how people really live. Love Sarah and Tommy!

    The transformation of this house is absolutely stunning from the videos I have seen so far. Same for the other houses & rooms you have refurbished. Just saw this one & love how great the basement turned out. Especially liked the glass enclosed staircase, laundry area & foundation wall. But I would never put vinyl flooring in my house. It's bad enough I have vinyl siding & a home fire with vinyl involved spreads very quickly & is extremely toxic & deadly. It's all made of PVC, vinyl flooring too. It off-gases phthalates & chemicals constantly. It's a disaster in the landfills where burning toxic fumes harm the environment.

    I love your style. My concern is that you are putting a great deal of money into a rental. We had rental properties for several years and the renters always tore up the houses. I hope you have better success than we did. Maybe a higher end property will not draw destructive. I wish you well.

      I hardly think that the interior of this house needs to follow some “rules’ like that. There’s no doubt this house flows well exactly how it was built and decorated. There’s not a single jarring view in the whole building.

    Am I the one who thinks that this TV series is a complete show of Sarah Richardson? Look: I married rich and my husband and I constantly buy houses around Canada and turn them into luxury homes? Aren't we just great? They talk abou budget all the time but as we all know: Richardson does not really have a budget...her father in law is former Minister of Finances and her husband is a millionaire..plus she always talks about herself and her work as amazing.. who does this? PLus I count 7 different wood colours in this basement, this is not good design.
