Repainting all those rooms from battleship grey to a very pale grey is a big improvement.
Grey may have been "trendy", but it sucks life and light out of rooms.
That home is so beautiful even before. I’m shocked it didn’t sell at first
$200K over listing?! Damn, no wonder why we have a housing crisis!
I guess it was a war?
The ya ya yay is driving me bonkies😂😅
You know you're doing something right - and you're in the right business - when your skill yields a 40%(!!!) over asking price on a final sale! Well done!
Love! Such a knack for decorating. It’s shocking that the offer was $200,000 over list.
415 in 2023? That is a steal for this area. Hard to believe it didn't sell. But love what you did with it.
Just imagine a homeowner having seen the potential before the reno and doing the work themselves!
@@jhutch1681probably could have gotten it for under 400 and put 50,000. But ppl dont like to work, or cant see the potential.
Absolutely LOVE these two sisters. One of a few NOT fake show. Love there designs and how they can stage a house for real.
Love, love these girls and their show. They do a great job updating the homes to sell.
THIS IS ONE of the cutest backsplashes I have ever seen...with the little louis vuitton flowers 🙂
They got rid of the pretty arches and the fireplace was not bad at all
The whole home looks so beautiful warm and cozy, I love the remodel ❤😊
“Yeah” how many times did you hear it? Loved the redo though!
60k for a totally new kitchen and master bath, new trim and paint inside and out, plus redone fireplace and feature walls? What’s this contractor’s phone number?
I think they key here is IN HOUSE labor and CORP VOLUME PRICING on materials.
No normal seller or owner could do any of this at these costs 😕
"YAAAHH!!"
That teenager room is horrific.
lol!
“Ya. Ya. Ya.ya” on repeat
I know 😢
I liked the fireplace better before
I like the fireplace now.
They know what buyers want and what is selling. The original fireplace would be for an older demographic.
@CW Depends where. That’s not the case in LA.
Me too
They're selling to Californians
Yes. All that house needed was color, contrast, different textures. Some people have a sense of color some not. Grey walls need warming color for contrast. Easy fix.
Yes. I despise grey walls. So depressing.
If they wanted the wood to cover the arch to look like a beam.....why did they have the wood direction going perpendicular and not along the length? It looks weird
I agree. They still could have used the individual pieces put rotated the grain. I would have carried the reveal around to the sides and mitered the corners. This would give the illusion of blocks of wood stacked with a 1/8" reveal. They did it the cheapest way possible to get a decent look. You have a good eye, most people would not notice.
What an awesome makeover! Those girls are the best!!! Love that backsplash by the way!
This lovely couple deserves this!
Being from that area, I would hate any shad of gray in my house. The whole sky is gray most of the time.
Thank you! That explains perfectly why I don't like gray!
What an amazing renovation/remodeling this house. 😊 LOVE IT 🥰
Half the budget is pillows and blankets 😂
So true!
Lol!
I love the accessories you use. Would love if you could show how you chose the pieces and grouped them in each area ?
How amazing is that!!! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️
Although the changes they made look good now, they chose trendy stuff in some spaces which will again look dated at some point. I think mixing more classic design like the traditional style the house had with something more up to date would go further. The bathroom is probably the only thing I could see standing the rest of time. The wood entry will Quickly become outdated, and even the fireplace. Instead of wrapping the whole thing they should have just done the standard floating mantle, much more classic.
This is very chic and appeals to younger people! Great job!
Leslie: “Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, x50.” lol
Please, no more barn doors 🙄
I had to use one. A door wouldn’t open with the way room is set up. Mine is white and beautiful. Sometimes they work out really well. Otherwise, no bathroom door.
Barn doors are preferable to pocket doors, bi-fold doors, or no door according to this Mom of 8 who has lived with them all!!!
The 45's will NEVER appeal to a Gen Z'er...
Absolutely love the color palette.
The kitchen and bathroom are amazing
It's not the makeover. It's the area. A lot of Californians moving in to the area and driving up the prices.
It looks more dated now!! What’s with all those pillows. Looks like it was decorated by a thirteen year old. So much gray??
This is even more condensed than previous episodes. Why so short?
Who gets rid of an island 🏝️ no one an island is so wonderful, great for gathering and great for preparing meals, prep for dicing, just about any and everything
"Rustic Lux" is a bit of a stretch. I found all the wood accents ugly. They could've saved a tonne of money by just painting the walls. The door closed off in the lounge room was a good idea, but no kitchen island was a poor choice. Their styling is too cluttered IMO
It all looks so much better; I can't believe how badly staged it originally was.
Barn door, great idea. Entry lovely. Great living room. Beautiful master.
However, some things puzzle me about the reno.
Why not stage the old dining room as an office, instead of an odd sitting room with a door?
New dining area rug, WAY too small.
Ensuite bath - why not one continuous vanity and counter, instead of the wasted space between for things to fall in the crack?
And the tub looks SO claustrophobic.
No matter what though, in the end, WOW on the sale price!!
My thoughts exactly !!!! Those vanities ugh
there was nothing wrong with the fireplace.
One of my fav shows
How did they affix the 45s to the teen room wall? Curious.
Spectacular design, as expected from these genius women. Only I'm a bit thrown off by the grandness of the double height wood feature wall at the entrance in combination with such petite furnishings -- tiny bench, tiny table, little basket, little lamp, small throw rug.
Now you're starting to see the flaws in their staging.
This is something you got to watch out for when you're shopping online sites like wayfair, article, amazon, all modern ect. The furniture is all mini sized! Even walking into homegoods and target, furniture is small. I didn't realize until my 6'3 spouse pointed it out and now that's all I see everyhwere.
With the twins, "rustic" seems to mean cheap looking wood, badly applied.
This is great, but… did y’all blur a Cabbage Patch doll?
0:36 I want that monster couch!
Not me!
This series has the best stagging
The twins buy the things for staging then sell them out of their store after the house sells. Winning strategy.
Wow! Need just a pop of color somewhere
Don’t understand why the home owners have to split the profit with hg tv on top of the renovation costs. Even though they were able to sell the house it seems like a rip off. Probably could have gotten some company to just stage the house and ended up with more of a profit.
It’s worse than that! In this episode they double dipped the renovation. Should’ve been sale price of $712k minus sellers equity (415) then minus their investment (60k) and split that ($237k). But they instead split the difference after the new list price (510k) minus the ($60k) and split that. They gave this couple $71k and according to original deal they should’ve given them $118k. Even after paying themselves back the $60k, they somehow got $166k in the “split” and Jeff & Kristen got $71k. I’m not sure how this episode hasn’t turned into a lawsuit.
How many pillows were used in the making of this episode?
Even though a lot of styling that has been done here I really don’t like because they use way too many chachkes, the materials and the colours used were absolutely perfectly picked and mixed together, and the price that the house sold for is obviously the proof.
Blackrock must have bought it
I liked the kitchen better before. It was warm and inviting with seating. I would just improve the counter, backsplash and pulls.
I agree! Hugely not a fan of gray.

45 records? Do kids even know what a record is? Maybe grandma’s bedroom. Bizarre choice
No. Trying to marry rustic with sophisticated gray and white is just wrong, sorry. The fireplace was fine as it was; just needed to do something with the above area.
Tats a lotta cushions on a bed 😳
Who goes over 200k of the asking price😮
Yeah that seems quite odd.
Quite common in high demand areas. Silicon Valley is one example.
Bidding war - 32 people wanted it!
Is Kristen an actress or something - fell I have seen her before?
Only thing I hate is the ugly wall in the " teen bedroom".... Very 80's looking... Not rustic.
They're using grandma's seventies decor.
The twins are very talented and really have an eye for decorating. However, I have noticed they often take out the microwaves! Why ladies, WHY?
I wonder if its in a drawer?
With rates rising this may not make much sense for much longer. These buyers may be like some of the 2021 buyers that are regretting the decision in 1-2 years. Cute show. Sweet hosts! I do feel sorry for the person that paid 712k that may only be able to sell for 500-600k in 2 years.
Weird thing to notice but the flatware was set up in an um, innovative way…though having the knife on the same side as the fork & spoons is not logical. The brass gold still looks cheap.
Wow - don't know who these two ladies are but are they ever LOUD! Pretty sure they didn't need a mobile phone to speak to the other couple...
Stunning🔥
It’s NOT VOLTED it’s VAULTED 😳
Reno budget was only $60K?! Crazy
I didn’t like most of what was done. I would’ve painted the exterior and interior and let it go at that.
I AM SO SICK OF GRAY & all its shades & 'tones'. It's depressing at this point.
Amen to that! I have been over gray and I’m sure I’m going to get pushback for this but farm style as well. It’s time for color and a different style. I literally scream every time a designer says gray for anything.🤦🏾♀️
Agree!!! I don’t k ow if gray or farmhouse is more worn out … over it! I picked out a moss green color about a month ago and now have noticed greensand blues taking over
100% But, more I hate every room the same colour.
It's being updated w other colors added. Beige seems to be being pushed + a lot of are resisting both beige + gray.
Well, it's a neutral and appeals to more people than "color"
Has anyone ever decided to stay in a home vs selling after one of the fab redos?
Probably not because they would have to pay them the reno costs of 60k
One person did. They paid back the reno costs.
❤ sehr schön ❤
Don’t do gray😮
The vinyl records are dated. But I like it.
@CW ok, then.
Is there an inside joke going on here? "Yeah"?
They do a lot of staging. That may help.
I think paint, flooring, furnishings and decor would have been all that was necessary. I do not think the rustic goes with the style of the house.
How is NO ONE catching that these ladies ripped off the sellers almost FIFTY GRAND?? They double counted their initial investment of $60k. The original list was $415k, they put in $60k and listed at $510 in the hopes to split a $35k profit (510-475) for $17.5 each. Instead they sold at $712k which should be less the sellers investment ($415k) and their investment ($60) and split the difference which is $237k/2 = $118.5 each. Instead the twins for some reason split the difference from the original LIST price. They basically double dipped their investment. How is no one seeing this???? They gave Jeff and Kristen $71k when they’re owed $118k. Where’s their $47k, ladies?!?!
It's so funny -- when is the whole of America going to be DONE w grays? My mom was cutting edge in 1993, in SLC Utah, which was like 1987 California.
But, in 2023? ACTUALLY, this iteration of all these colors AND the specific choices were adorable. Well done.
Love the grey!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya!
The calculations don't make sense to me. If the girls got paid 60k plus 71k, then that's ridiculous.
Not understanding the math on this one she stated that if it's sold for $510,000 they would profit $17 ,000 a piece but it's sold for $712,000 so that's $202,000 Over they then would split. so they each should have walked away with 118, 000 each but she said that they walked away with 74,000????? Because you have to subtract this initial $17,000 they would received if it's sold for $510,000. So that means they only got $57,000 out of the $202,000 that it was over. So that means Leslie and Lindsay walked away with $145,000 plus their initial investment . if my math is correct these people got scammed out of $45,000
You didn't subtract the $60k they invested into the property.
@@susankelly1576 yes I did they said if the house sold for $510 they would still get their investment back plus the 17,000 a piece. Listen to the math in the video and do the math yourself
@@tishasian4314 just did the math and you’re right. It should have been 712,000-415,000-60,000 = 237,000/2 = $118,500 profit for each side.
They each walked away with $71,000 after they go their $60,000 investment back so Idk what you're calculating
@@tishasian4314 You have the math all wrong. They are going off the new list price of $510,000 not $415,000. So it's $712,000-$510,000-$60,000=$142,000/2=
$71,000 each for profit. Why they're going off the new list price I'm not sure but they are definitely not scamming anyone. Perhaps they wanted to give the owners even more profit $510k-$415k=$95k over the initial calculations and in addition to the $71k...assuming the owners own the house outright with no liens or mortgages. Capisce? 😃
This is absurd on many levels. "put in a lighter floor" - LOL. And the pillow factory explosion, and the things you proclaim as "dated dated" - ridiculous. Just a hodgepodge of overdone decorating. Blech.
Grey isn't a colour, it's awful!
Idk looks same to me just decorated more or differently
Who pays that much for a house???
Teen from 50z?! 🤪
They use Grey way too much.
👍🏾🤗
the pillows....
ha!
Looking for a professional, not a mean girl.
What's with the barn door - don't those belong barns, they've been overdone and they look awful. The wood on that entry wall is ugly - there's other ways to feature the height. There's not a lot of imagination or creativity. It looks like Home Depot inside the house. The fireplace could've had a better makeover instead of the plain easy cheap look they finished with. It at least had character before...
Awful grey paint and that wood color is absolutely bad. They owners looked less than pleased. I would be so mad if that was my house. A hundred better ways to have done this. We have a 90s home and this is what we WONT be doing. Sorry for the critical feedback :)
They got $200 over asking. I wouldn't be mad at all!
@@Zoe-ge3kx I would most of that goes to the sisters so they don't see most of it
Ridiculous.They want to SELL it, not live in it. They are not mad at all and if it was your house, you'd never hire them in the first place. Its a gorgeous house and they always do a great job.
But you can’t argue with the amazing outcome!
There's just no pleasing some people 🙄
202 000 over asking with that small kitchen. And too many natural wood accents.
Ugh. Gray. Ugh.
🥱😴
These two must have lived in LA at some time. Wish this channel featured better flippers.
Liked the inside better before. Hate all of that wood accent crap.
Wow
Why are there no black people?
Actually I love looking at an empty home
