$6000 house in Japan: Week 8 Renovations
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2023
- The interior renovation is 90% complete and now it’s just a matter of finishing touches.
Until now, I’ve spent roughly $4000 USD on renovations. The bull of the costs have been on wood, tools, and paint.
I’ve saved a lot of money because I’m doing this work myself. My dad also came to help for the last 4 weeks and it’s made my life much easier!
I’m very happy with how this has come along within just 8 weeks and the cost of the renovations. Of course, this cost doesn’t account for the 12 hour days I’ve been putting in with not only building but sourcing, picking up, designing, and creating this space.
Loving the project!
I am Japanese.
One of the reasons this house was so cheap was that old-fashioned toilet.
Many Japanese people give up on buying one after seeing that toilet.
But you have updated the toilet.
Not only that, you have renovated the inside of your house to make it look very stylish and clean.
The fact that he was able to accomplish this in such a short period of time is an amazing feat.
I think this house is worth $20,000 on the Japanese used house market.
Thanks for the comment! It’s been a great experience and my neighborhood is very friendly and helpful :)
Very tasteful restoration !
$20k after renovation? In Los Angeles it is a $ 1 M house
Anyone commenting ignorant comments please go troll somewhere else !! This guys house is superb and Nevermind it’s $10k vested which I’ve spent n shoes in the last two years . Love your house brother , do what YOU like to it 🤙🏽
Thank you! The place is incredible and I’m still grateful :) I’ve been living there for about 10 months now and it’s all been positive
I'm waiting for your neighbors to come by and ask for your guidance in fixing their homes in the area. Absolute steal of a deal.
Bro…Japanese will tell him how sugoi his house is then go home and laugh at him.
@@user-ib5mx8ro4k why though? do all Japanese still prefer traditional style houses as much as to laugh somebody off for having a different preference?
I just found your channel; what a gorgeous home you have created. It is hard to believe you were able to purchase, renovate and furnish it all for such an incredible price, just beautiful!
You don't ever have to feel bad about how you choose to live in your own home. Just because it is how it was done does not mean it is the best way, or the best for you. I think it is beautiful what you have done so far.
"It was too intimate for me" made me giggle. Such elegant phrasing!
Absolutely beautiful! I love how you incorporated western elements for your comfort while still honoring the Japanese design. Well done.
I am glad that you kept the old toilet door for your laundry room. I remember this kind of door at my aunt house's toilet room.
$6,000! UNBELIEVABLE!
Wow, you did a fantastic job on your house. It looks beautiful. I love the new bathroom and comfy beds. Your family and friends are going to be so comfortable and enjoy visiting you. That was a lot of work, but the finished product was worth it. Now enjoy your life.
Looking good! Would be cool to find some vintage pieces in a similar green to the kitchen cabinets to tie it into the rest of the dining/kitchen space.
Yeah like sort of mid century modern would look great
You’ve done an incredible job with this home in 8 weeks! Everything looks amazing! 🤩
すごく良い状態の戸建を買いましたね！
通常、このような戸建はとても散らかっているのですが、あなたの家は最初から片付いていました。
リノベーションも素敵です。
This is your personality & who you are. Very relaxing & comfortable.
I absolutely love the renovations. It does not look like the same house. Looks and feels like home. Simply amazing.
You knocked it out of the park imo. Well done!
It's looking so good, Matt. I can't get over how much brighter it's become! You've made it such a warm, welcoming space. I love the repurposed book corner and the big chill out room, and the kitchen/dining area looks like a cosy spot to entertain friends now. Well done!
Thanks!! I like how it’s turning out. Had to take a chance with everything because it was quite different with the clutter and mix of styles. So far so good!
OMG I thought when you said "I'm NOT Japanese and I want to use it to chill out!" and I thought you've got a million other places to chill out and oh nooooo he is going to change everything BUT you did a good job I must say especially bedrooms...very nice! :))
white was definitely the way to go , everything just looks so nice and refreshing
great work 👍(the second guest room is my favourite , it looks so cozy)
Thank you :) I might end up changing rooms now and then hahaha
Amazing!! Congratulations on putting together a beautiful home - great transformation! Just curious to see if any of your neighbors asked to see the inside of the house.
This is beautiful. I wish I could do something like this but in a warmer climate. I love the house and its surroundings.
Just incredible. I spent 3 months on a ski scolarship in Gunma ken 40 years ago and have never been back to Japan since (even though I have promised myself every year I would return, life got in the way!). I would love to visit your beautiful home and be hosted by you for a ski tour of the area, hopefully I can make that happen (as I am currently spending around $100k for a similar reno of my own home in New Zealand!) We would never get sign off if having done any electrics or plumbing without necessary consents and permitted workmen). Your place looks truly amazing, keeping a very traditional Japanese vibe with western comforts (I slept on futon for my 3 month exchange and never did get a great night sleep!).
Wow, Matt... It is very coordinated and tastefully remodeled.
Wow, the white paint really opened up the space on the area of the first floor. Also, I really like the color you used in the bathroom. Everything flows in there much better, and let's not even talk about the guestrooms, they look so bright, airy and comfortable. You have done a very nice job on your investment with a small budget. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Its so cute and welcoming. Just the right size. Im envious. Im stuck here in Philadelphia. That little space with the chair is adorable 😍. You are an amazing decorator for a strait man ♂️
Good god that is incredible value...
Turns my stomach thinking how much money I buried into my house 🤢
No joke. Here in Florida, you wouldn't get a small garden shed for that amount.
@@Bess9779 Quite literally.
Im kind of sad that you didnt make some kind of desk- (working)room. I think you know best what kind of purpose your house should have, but just for me i think a desk/working room is key. Overall its still such a nice Renovation / Makeover you did here❤❤❤
I love goggling & learning how to do different things. ❤
Love that green color in the kitchen and green trash can.
I really like what you did with your home.Very nice.👍
Wow that looks absolutely amazing. I love how you kept the sliding doors. The lighter colors really opened things up. It looks so homey. Its perfect!
You've done really well renovating the house. The new paint makes the house look brighter.
Wow you did an amazing job with this place for just $4000! It looks so spacious and inviting now!
Looks amazing. You've done a great job. I'm jealous. The UK has really gone down the drain. I'd love to do something similar.
It's a great fusion of both cultures. Well done. I love what you've done.
You say you aren’t a designer but you could fool me. Looks absolutely fabulous.
IHAVE A FEELING YOU ARE A NATURAL AT RENOS & WILL CONTINUE TO DO MANY MORE OVER THE WORLD, SKIING NEW SLOPES!! HAPPENED SO QUICKLY, HAD TO HAVE HELP......JUSTREAD more..YOU EXPLAIN YOU WORKED 12 HR DAYS, YOUR AWESOME DAD HELPED FOR WEEKS. NOW I KNOW WHERE YOUR TALENT COMES FROM!! HE MUST BE PROUD OF YOU!!!GRMA NAN ❤
The stainless steel bathtub is awesome. Look into using Resin for the grout and the rocks, so you get the best of the look and its waterproof. Super easy to mix and apply. Japanese toilets are magic. Good job on the swap.
Just happened on your video after you purchased this amazing home. I'm so happy with the bits you kept original. It's lovely and I'd love to live there myself, just perfection. I'd be more than thrilled to call this home permanently. This is just a dream! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
What a great change! Looks fresh and updated. Very welcoming home!
Love the light you give to the place peinting in white look clean and fresh
Hats off to you, you have done well. I saw the first video and thought WTF you thinking but I see has turned out well. Enjoy
Just found your Channel and binged all your episodes of your house renovation... great work matt ! The house looks amazing.
Well done on such an effort and result in just 8 weeks !
Your house is beautiful and be proud about whatever you do and you don’t have to make an excuse to anybody. This is what you want and how you wanna live, but it looks awesome and very much to be proud of all your work and how it turned out very very comfortable and suitable for your needs.
The house looks great! Well done 👍🏻
You did a great job. Your house is very beautiful. You should be so proud.
You’ve done a wonderful job!! The house looks amazing
I absolutely love your renovations. Beautiful, tasteful and personal.
Wow !! The kitchen !! You really opened it up ! It looks great !!!
You've done an amazing job on this renovation. The house is beautiful, bright and welcoming.
Well done, this is awesome what you have done with your house.
Beautiful renovation. Great lights everywhere and every room is cozy and welcoming. I wish you all the best!
Lovely job!! So light and bright and a wonderful aesthetic. Nice work!!
Lovely home, simple and what a steal. I would go for something like this as a holiday destination.
I think you have done a marvelous job on the renovation. The house needs to feel like your home so change as needed to get that feeling.
Look's GREAT!! Love what you did to the place!! Very Serene. 😊
I am beyond impressed to how that house looks now and how it looked when you walk through the door. Very well done.
loved to see how its changed! thank you
I was fascinated by your remodel! ❤ You are very lucky to find a house for that price! I hope I can find one too and remodel it.😊😊😊😊😊
Looks good after the renovation!! You got the house cheap at USD6000. I like your video showing the before and after renovation. Cost to renovate is reasonable I think. Enjoy your house. Enjoy Japan, such a beautiful and safe country!
Your camera and audio has made just as much of an improvement since day 1!
I love all that you've done with your home.
Thank you!!
Nicely done Matt! I am sure you have great memories there! A cool project to do - as a coffee table book is a picture book of how the house was when you purchased it. Before and after pictures. 😊
Awesome idea! Taking note :)
Beautiful kitchen. Couldnt imagine how you'd beautify it, but you managed to do it! Congrats
Love your remodeling ... feels homey with style. Am looking forward to catching up with your other video about finding the house. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
You've done a great job, it looks so good and comfortable. I love that you kept the screens in the bedroom, was hoping you'd keep those from previous videos. Enjoy your beautiful home!
Thanks so much! 😊
Very clean looking and cozy.
Just found you/your post on youtube! Couldn't have come at a better time... Thx for sharing
Love the open flow.. that reading alcove is just right .. your downstairs bedroom has such space and tranquility.. Yes! For your bathrooms.. The white walls are giving a clean open feeling! The kitchen is so workable.. Noticed you have a small fridge for its saving space.. Enjoy.. Looking forward to more videos.. 👏🥰
Your home is beautiful and peaceful! Please add some decent bedside lighting, and a lamp in sitting room for those who like to read. You’ve done such a good job!💛
Excellent investment - I love how you’ve made it your own!
You're doing an awesome job. The house looks great
Well done. What a triumph!
That place is beautiful!
I just found your channel watched the first tour of this house of yours when you got your keys. Soni look for this part where you renovated it. I love what you did to your house , its a new feel of fresh air.
Thank you!! :)
Love your home! The renovations arr amazing! Very beautiful and cozy style! May you enjoy lits of happy moments there! 🙏🏻🌷
Thank you! It’s been a super fun project :)
This is great. Congratulations and well done! I agree with all the decisions you made. Not a fan of that glass table, but I understand why you chose it. Curious to see your plans for the garden and shed next. Also curious about your winter heating situation.
Thanks! Probably leave the shed and garden for next season. Winter heating will be city gas. I have quite a few gas outlets around the house and I’ve been told by the neighbours that it’s the most cost efficient:)
Very nice,I'm learning how to remodel home and your house is looking extremely beautiful. Great job
absolutely fantastic! I love what you did with the house so far.
You have great taste. Looks very clean and simple. What a great look!
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Enjoyed your attitude and transformation, thoroughly.
You’ve been blessed. Great home!
wow! I like what you've done and what you are trying so much! Keep going man! 🎉
Thanks!! Appreciate it :)
Looks amazing!
You are doing a wonderful job.
Absolutely wonderful! you made a great job. Artistic and comfortable. Japanese and yet it is your style. Love the slide doors and the white painting plus the kitchen and the mountains on the wall :)
I really love this house
Looks great, nicely done!
Really enjoying Matt s videos. He is so calm, love his soothing voice, where is your accent from. I thought Australian but I can hear something else. I m new to this channel and look forward to working through the videos from the past 6 mths or so.
I don't know what to think. It's quite eclectic. Hopefully, it's serviceable for you.
You have such a nice place learn to appreciate everything in it when the winter will come you will need all that stuff that's why it's there enjoy your fortune🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So cool !
Good job :) gives me hope.
❤
Looks great! Well done!
It looks amazing!! Congrats!!
Your place looks beautiful. Congrats!
It would be amazing and such an honor to have you or someone like you as a neighbor. I hope I give a laid back, “can do” vibe too. Rock on!
