A Shopaholic Who Can't Let Go of Old Things | Hoarders Get Your House In Order | Only Human

- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- 26-year-old Amie Ormand is a self-confessed shopaholic whose compulsive consuming is not only taking over her home, but is threatening her relationship with her fiancé Ali. Amie just can't stop spending and buys something new every day - whether it's online or on the high street - spending up to £200 a week. And while over half of the 2,000,000 tonnes of new clothes that the UK buys annually gets thrown away, Amie never lets anything go. Now she and fiancé Ali are literally drowning in heaps of clothes - her hoard takes over most of the upstairs rooms, including Ali's office - and they desperately need to clear their house.
Amie's hoard includes; 106 dresses, 142 handbags, 50 pairs of jeans, 140 pairs of shoes, 7 digital cameras and a rowing machine. And when they are all laid out in a warehouse for Amie to see, it's a tough dose of reality. The huge piles are easy pickings for antiques and artefacts dealer Nick Allen who uses all of his selling know-how to shift Amie's collection, including setting up a pop-up shop so Amie can sell her clothes back to the people of Exeter. But with interiors expert Abigail Ahern needing over £2000 for the redesign of the house, Nick is under pressure to dish out some tough love to help Amie succeed in parting with her fashion hoard and make some much-needed cash. Will Amie finally let her emotional attachments to her clothing go and raise the money needed to transform her house into a home fit for newly-weds?

That horrible red chair blocks half the telly!
I feel so sorry for Aimee, she was guilted and bullied into decisions I’m sure she’ll regret.
No therapy to get to the root of the problem and her reward for her efforts….. the worst home makeover we’ve ever seen. 😢
Instead of spending all the $ on decorating, it should have been spent on therapy.
Yes I agree
Nooo, on the wedding. They did not have enough money for it was said in the beginning.
@@Amber4 they shouldn't marry. She will go back to hoarding, because she has an Addiction to the thrill of shopping and Needs therapy. They are unlikely to survive that.. I feel sorry for them both.
@@jacqueline8559 I totally agree. But as this is an old series they probably did marry long ago. I wonder how they are doing now ....
Wonder if they married
what designer would not collaborate with her clients? You don't just spring your own ideas on people and then say "oh, she's a vegetarian, and i put a cow on her floor"
She is prolly used to just being hired for what she does..clients hire her specifically for the look she does i guess ?
As a vegan, I would be absolutely terrified if someone put a cow on my floor. That’s awful and so inconsiderate.
The absence of any acknowledgment of the psychological component of compulsive shopping and hoarding, along with the stylist’s utter disregard for Amie’s style has me positively gobsmacked. I feel like Amie was just extorted by this terrible show.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
💯💯💯This show and the other about obese people are comparably stupid.
The show about "shopaholics" was 100% better, they were helping the addict, and giving them great tools to change their behaviors.
This show is doing nothing, it is ridiculous.
Amie was not heard when she didn't like what the makeover was supposed to loom like, only the fiancee liked it. Where should her motivation to sell stuff come from. She literally said she didn't like lilac in her bedroom, the "designer" just pushed that aside. She needed to sell her stuff to finance something she wasn't even allowed to give any input to?
Yeah this show is pretty unethical considering the hoard is an emotional or trauma response.... selling her hoard and not giving her a voice about the interior is terrible
I can’t believe they approached her emotional issues in such a cruel way🥲
Its interesting how upset you are for her even though she seems to like it. Did you comment before watching the entire video? lol
@@klakola3662 Not every hoard is due to trauma. Where did she mention any trauma? This show is less about hoarding & more about responsibility.
@@nicholasschoonbeck6866 🖐 I watched the entire video! She kept saying she loved it in a flat voice and plastered smile that you use when the cameras are rolling. I think she was genuinely happy in the shop when the money was coming in, so that's what her actual happiness would have looked like. It's no matter though, if they really didn't like it they could sell the pieces and repaint easily enough.
The fact that amy said she wanted a colour and the “designer” said no? sorry? not your house love.
She don’t need an antiques dealer and an interior designer she needs a psychologist!
Indeed!
agreed, i don't see how this show will help her hoarding problem at all
Needs to grow up.
@@differenttakethanmost Eh. Hoarding has no age limit. She needs to find a way to control her impulses and possibly find better ways to spend her time...It takes longer for some people.
I agree, the whole idea behind the programme is wrong.
Can you imagine having a designer that says “I don’t care, just tell me how much money I’ve got”. Goodbye. Not to mention that she a), hasn’t asked the home owners what they want or b), shown any initiative to be able to style on a budget. Can’t imagine what happens if they don’t like her style.
Um, that's NOT "NY Glam Style". I would be sobbing hysterically at the home's "make-over". Absolutely hideous. 😲😖🤦
It's so awful lol 😆 🙃
Dark and dingy😮
Yep and she sold all her stuff for that. Nonsense
I feel for her, it must be so traumatic to sell her stuff without the aid of a therapist to help her deal with it. I think she will regret it later. The shock treatment doesn't work with hoarders.
I agree. I also thought the designer was very condescending.
I know, that designer kept saying "there just clothes" but it's not just clothes for woman. She's buying all these clothes for a reason, they should of had a therapist there to help her step by step and so she realises why she does it to then stop her from doing it again
The house was horribly empty and cold afterwards. Her fiance isn't the most supportive either IMO. Red flags when he said 'we are going to have an argument'. My narcissistic ex would say this. It makes you 'shut up ' and walk on egg-shells! 😡
🎯🤦🏻♀️
The designer is just absolutely wrong 🤷♀️
Who else is not very impressed by the underwhelmed makeover?!! 🙄😂
It’s awful.
@@SteffiNovaASMR_Replays ikr.
It's revolting.
I liked the first 2 rooms the bedroom looks like trash
tacky and cheap looking
Tiny house with small rooms and low ceilings and that designer is making it dark, depressing and smaller... Nightmare. The living room looked cheap and tacky. Almost like a brothel. She should make it light airy young and clean looking..
Does she even have a design qualification?.. Horrific..I would go nuts! That is the worst interior design I have ever seen.. I would bring so much in to cover up the new interiors!
That makeover is soo ghastly. Why would anyone want to work in a dark office?? I dunno how this interior designer qualified but I'm never hiring her
😂😂😂 agree!
That makeover for "their" house was dark and dank and abysmal! Just horrible.
I agree. I don't think the designer took into account that their home is a character property. Low ceilings with beams & small windows with minimal light. Lighter paint colors would've opened up the space with the appearance of bigger & brighter. Bedroom was very bland with no pop of color at all.
the designer just loves to paint the walls dark or grey. It just makes the rooms look so depressing.
I agree. The property already had lots of character without the tacky decor. They needed something modern yet easy to maintain
I am that cross with the interior decorator. She did not consult Amie about the colour choices at all. It was all about her vision and not about helping Amie transition into her new space.
PS she should have been given more than just one rail to fill. I am not a clothes hoarder but I would need two to three rails (taking into account a coat, jacket and knitwear, let alone dresses, skirts, t-shirts, pants, bags and shoes.
Yes me too , she wasn’t enough left for her
@Grace Axisa
The interior dictator 🫤
@@svetlanaisayeva2624 good observation!
That's the weirdest and ugliest make over I have ever seen. That fireplace, I'm hoping was just a joke. 😳
12 years ago I noticed I had a bit of a hoard happening in my home. Coming across things that I didn’t even remember buying. So I stripped it all back and gave myself one rule to live by....if I hadn’t used it within 12 months it gets donated. And that’s what led me to realise my reckless and impulsive consumerism was a symptom of something far deeper and disturbing than I could’ve guessed had I not given myself that *one* little rule to live by....
Life is lighter and happier when we’re not weighed down by ‘things’. 🙂
I understand the '12 month rule' as a general guideline, but I have tools for example which I might not use every year, but I will use them and it would be incredibly wasteful to keep replacing them!
@@nataliebutler Of course. 🙂
Absolutely amazing
"what you own will come to own you'.
@@kitkat7517 I hope not cause I have ✨️hemorrhoids ✨️
I'd never want to live in that house, it would be so dark and depressing. You need lighter colours to really open up the living space, maybe one dark accent wall, but that's too much.
The man cave, yikes!
It's not your house for a reason lol.
Taking a hoard from its hoarder in this manner is traumatic and will only cause further damage.
She WILL re-hoard and it WILL be worse.
Oh, absolutely. I'd like to know if this couple is still together, because another hoard might push the fiance/husband into leaving.
@@absolutelyridiculous6743 If they met their wedding date and are still together, they celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary just four days ago. Something tells me they didn't make it.
100% agree
As the so called Designer was done with it, it looked like the most depressing place on earth
The designer forced her own dream, excluding what the couple was trying to tell her, when they were allowed to talk at all. I've worked with two interior decorators in my life. A true professional makes it a collaborative effort so that the result is a space in which the owner feels at ease.
agree!
Totally agree. Erk! The hoard was better
I feel so dreadful for Amy, she should have had real support from someone with experience in counselling hoarders and been allowed the time to grieve her collection. All this bossing around and trivialising of her addiction must have been a very lonely process for her.
The expectation for her to be super happy about a massive part of her identity being stripped away and replaced with something she didn't even have a choice in is insane, I hope she is doing much better now
@bee jade you know we can see your previous comments, right?
I know right! Let's completely strip you of this protective act of hoarding. Rip these things from you with no psychological assistance, while completely belittling you. Completely gaslighting her and holding the wedding over her head as threat. AND completely redecorate your house where you have no control over it or autonomy in the process. Yep. Great idea. Will definitely work out 😅
And now she doen't have a closet for her clothes. Were are the things she was allowed to keep??
yeah you're absolutely right I felt sorry for her in this one
This is deeply traumatising and how not to handle this scenario. Feel so sorry for her.
You know what will make a small room look even smaller? Dark paint choices- the living room and office look like a dark cave. That alone would be depressing.
It disgusted me how they kept dangling marriage over her head to get her to do what they wanted.
True. I'm with you. They were using it like a leverage.
Yes, they pushed her and pushed her with this wedding as a stick and a carrot.
WHYYY have they got her at the sale?!
She WILL NEVER get over this without psychological assistance!!! That house will be back to the same within weeks, worse so to make up for this experience. Her hoarding is a response to some long suppressed wound.
You’re quite underestimating the human mind. As long as she’s willing to take part in the process, as long as she focuses on what she’s gaining (not what she’s “losing”) she’ll be just fine.
These are just bad habits and bad habits of thought.
People make it so complicated.
Therapists doubly so, as it’s their bread and butter. 95.8% of the time they’re completely unnecessary.
How many people do you know “in therapy” -have been for years- the only thing that’s changed is the counselor’s bank account.
Groom: "If this doesn't happen, I don't see a future..."
BRUH! YOU GOT THE TATTOO THO
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Right?! Guess he will make up a story of what the tattoo means if things go off the rails…. 😬
I was stunned when I saw that (huge!) tattoo. What was he thinking?
Yes.... 🤯🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
You don't paint small rooms dark... smh. The so called designer has ruined the integrity and style of the house
I love small dark rooms.
I would. I hate bright coloured rooms.
I love small dark rooms.
@@delaneygibson good for you
@@princebuster93 thanks!
I wouldn't let Abigail Ahern paint one brush stroke of tester paint on a wall in my home let alone 'decorate' it. She is an awful interior designer. And I just don't like how she comes across. She niggles me to the core.
She took a cheery bright sunny house and made it look dark-n-depressing. 😞
It is very comforting to see that a beautiful young woman has a hoarding issue and not only older people who are mostly nuts.
Amy is one of many women who has shopping problem and the three people on this show were rather harsh with her.
Hoarders need a very gentle approach.
The only thing wrong with this show is the designer. I bet they changed it all by now. Dark, cluttered and frankly rather weird.
That’s is one shocking makeover of their house 🏡 absolutely awful
There's a cow rug in their bedroom, this is the girls vegan. Omg. Lmao
The interior is very dark. It seems like the rooms have shrunken.
Tops of the pops is the dead cow skin carpet.
I feel sorry for the couple, for both of them. And I hope Amie found the help she really needed to solve her shopping problem.
That designer made dark color every episode, i think she needs help
This is an older show. I would love to see how they’re doing now. A follow up visit would be interesting to watch.
2/3 of kitchen nightmares places close after the show. You can't change someone with just a show.
At the end of the show, they said that 2 months later, everything was kept up & still clutter free, & the biggest thing Amie had bought was a wedding dress.
I pray this couple continues to do well & has a very happy future!
@@ringoaikocascade it would have been more than 2/3 if those other restaurants weren’t on the show
I had a little look on Facebook and they are still married and have 3 children now
@@joannehetherington3907 If so, they just celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary four days ago.
Absolutely horrendous impractical design. they made her take out the things she loves, such as clothes and shoes and then brought in installation of shoes that will be nothing but dust collectors so instead of her having things she loves the designer brought in the things she herself loves. They took out the painting they already had, made them sell it for nothing, and instead brought in the painting that cost them 80. Dark color that made rooms look even smaller and ginormous fires around that did not add anything but cost money.
They don't understand that hoarding is a symptom of underlying issues and can even have a genetic cause . Chromosome 17 deletion. Other issues like OCD and anxiety too. It's a huge mistake to think just clearing out will solve the problem long term.
Absolutely. I’m currently listening to the show devoting more time on the history of that radio than the underlying phycological component of why they’re there to “help” in the first place. This show is awful!
I was turned in by my old landlord! It was so awful. I was lucky and they gave me an organizer. She did all the work and took everything to donations. I have always wanted my home better but had no help. Now I have so much less stuff, it's wonderful, so glad to get rid of so much 😊
That interior designer would be in a skip. Good grief..gentlemen's drinking club. Are you kidding? Hoard is better.
I can't believe they wasted her money on a cow hide rug, especially when she's vegetarian. This designer likes having hunting things in homes, she put a pretend moose head in someone else's makeover, so strange. She also should have kept her lip painting instead of having the big pink lip on the wall.
the kiss 💋 on the wall was revolting
Afwul design(er)
Yes! I also agree she should have kept that winking face painting. I thought it was beautiful!
lol, he "doesn't see a future" except he has his future wedding date boldly tattood on his arm!
Thank you! One of the crazier things I've ever seen
I noticed that too, he seems a little clueless to me lol. 🤣
@@samanthamarko7845 ikr
lmao so true
2012... I bet they're divorced now
"I want dark hues" in a space where you can almost bang your head on the ceiling already. Ick.
26:33 she doesn't need to learn to let go that needs therapy! And Amy's attitude and patience is really impressive throughout this whole awful experience anyway
Poor girl, she let go of all her belongings for depressing redecorate rooms. 🤦♀️Smh why ???? Why is the money going to this designer and not the wedding. It makes no sense. She is going back to shopping 🛍👜👠💎💍
I was wondering the same! The money should have go to the wedding! Would be better spend
Because of your comment...I stop watching right here😉
@@weikean8990 😂😂😂 lol thank you for the like
@@loesvw312 yes 🙌 they didn’t have her best interest at all. Thank u for 👍🏼 comment and comment.
the money goes to the designer 🙄 what's the point of that! their getting married and stated they need money for the wedding. I'm 12 minutes in and I can see now why I don't like that designer 😒
An 18th century cottage should be an interior decorator's dream. They turned it into nightmare. 😝
Such dark colours in the house. Horribly depressing.
As a tall person, I would feel very claustrophobic in that house with the low ceilings and doorways. And the redesigned home is a disappointment.
I doubt if the young woman is able to stop her hoarding of expensive fashions. I don’t have high hopes for the marriage.
I’m not talk by any stretch of the imagination but I’d feel the same.
So, in short:
She is a hoarder and they don't have enough money for their wedding. And instead to use the money for the wedding OR a therapy, the hoarding issue is completely IGNORED and the home get a makeover.
Yap, makes completely NO sense - perfect for a TV show! 😂
As someone with ocd I’m so incredibly proud of each and every person who tries to finally start this process. She did great
I feel like I have just witnessed terrible abuse narrated in an upbeat voice.
People who love clothes … our wardrobes mean so much to us. What we choose wear is a big part of our personal expression. I felt terrible for Amie as she had to pare down her collection by 90%. Then that so-called designer went and painted their formerly bright cheery house into “makes me want to slit my wrists dark gray, sort of blueish gray and allegedly lilac gray”. And then she painted over some of Amie’s former shoes apparently, as an “art installation”/torturing reminder of all her pretty things that she was pressured into selling cheap to PAY that obnoxious lady to ruin their house!? Through it all this sweet girl was so brave and tried to roll with it. Betcha front room was have been repainted before the show even aired! Another commenter said that they had celebrated their 10th anniversary and have three children, so I hope the experience of participating in this show is just a distant memory to them now.
Yes
I prefer The Stelios Kiosses Approach 🤗
Couldn't agree more ! Stelios is so compassionate and gentle. Those two here are selfish, tasteless bullies.
Previously it was chaotic and later dark and dingy. Worst make over.
Dark colours make rooms look much smaller
Why Do they even have to redesign the house? Isn't the Wedding more important?
Oh and why the Tattoo with the date? Things can happen and dates can change 😅
The tattoo is insane!!! Who does that before the event, and SO BIG!
I'd rather keep my clothes and say bye bf. House looks bad redone
Exactly 💯
"Do you want to get married or not?" - this is psychological abuse!
He has narcissistic traits for sure!
True!!!
Yes that irked me a lot
Yeah I think he means do you want your wedding or not and considering the amount of money she's spending, she won't get the wedding she desires.
The redecorated rooms are awful 😭
Indeed
Show has good intentions but they needed to have the support of the people they are helping. Also why is the designer not listening to the couple. They have said they didn't like the colours or look suggested but they did it anyway.
I definitely would not have any rooms painted grey
Dark colours with low ceilings is not a good look.
That ceiling is so low. I would feel like a hobbit.
Before purchasing anything, ask yourself, "Do I need this?" If you don't, don't buy it.
The Bride is paying to have the house redo, is it a rental? What is the groom paying for? These makeovers are not a good use of the money. As many have said, the decorator doesn't listen to the couple. I would never hire a (so-called) pro decorator, they spend money like water.
Who is the designer ? My neighbours hide away that she did up in her families crawl space resembles the hoarders new lounge / livingroom. She was 14, it was dark with house hold throw backs not unlike the redo. Should have saved there new found cash and did it themselves. Even the refurbished fireplace looks unfinished, looks like primer. Did not know that flat white is the in thing. LOL. She may have temporarily given up excessive shopping, given the redo she may start drinking.
what depressing colours in a small cottage. Worst designer I've ever seen.
Worst redesign ever. What was she thinking doing it up like a dungeon with those dark colors in rooms that are so claustrophobic already with those horrible low ceilings. Awful.
Everything I've seen this designer do was so bloody dark and depressing, and that's coming from someone with fairly goth tastes. Every redo she makes the homes into caves.
What a hideous red chair ! Sad she never was able to work through the reasons she collected all this stuff She needs help Getting rid of stuff is only a temporary solution Hope her journey was successful Personally I found their place claustrophobic and did not like it at all after the redecorating!
Shame about the interior designer..............awful
The make over is enough to make you throw up. I would be so mad. She needs therapy for her hoarding and now for the money spent on the make over.
Why redesign the house when Amie said they need money for the wedding? Why not put the money into this and let them do whatever they want with their home decor? And in the end their house looks like a dungeon.
the makeover is so tacky lol it doesn't say "married life" it says "barbie"
Don't marry a compulsive shopper. DON'T marry a hoarder.
Lol when he said it's crunch time and he doesn't wana live like that forever not even knowing if she will change and he tattooed the date of their wedding on his arm. That was a joke aye ? 🤣
she got punished with the "interior design", poor girl... she needs a therapist.
Wish I could see a follow up, where they are now.
Somehow people don't seem to associate frivolous purchases to hours worked to enable it. Only when you get older and time becomes a precious and dwindling commodity does this kind of consumerism become obscene.
I knew this "make-over" would be hideous when I saw the "designer" painting the shoes white and when the narrator called it a "sculptor." Ugh...
Wedding date tattoo on one arm, divorce date on the other
Hahaaa
I can't watch any more. No one is helping her at all. There is no understanding!!! They are browbeating her. She will go back , no question, because her deep needs are not being met.
That is exactly how,I felt.
her bf was more concerned about what he wanted and no one really consulted Amy.
She was happyselling,but I wish,she had been able to have kept her own money or at least designed her home the way she wanted.
Her BF didnt out any of his money into anything.
i dont think they will get married,or stay together if they do.
Definitely giving this show a thumbs down!! Horribly manipulative of the girl with a hoarding disorder.
hate the cow hide rug...
Yes! Loved the makeover except for that ghastly thing on the floor !
Yes me also, bad taste
Yes. It's awful. Looks like Texas. I am also a vegetarian and I would have been appalled. I also think painting those shoes was stupid.
...just imagine the bill the light that dark gloomy interior in 2023 💰💰💰💰
I think sometimes the designers just want to experiment and do designs they like. They don't care if it fits the home or customer's style. Painting tiny rooms so dark, including the ceiling..? 😳
The designer think’s she doing her own house in every show!🤦♀️😳☹️ I do like how they take everything out of the house. Amy needs help. If not it won’t change. 💔
Abby can stay well away from my house. I’d be spitting nails if she did that to my home, especially if I’d said no.
Final.result.. absolutely awful - sorry..
Poor Amy.. and she's such a nice girl
Could see she was really not happy about it..
Oh she's rude that "designer" woman , calling Amiee miss ....
Her statement about believing spaces effect behaviour is correct. And she's pretentious. Why does this Abby woman never listen if she came in and did this in my life it would destroy my relationship. If he turns into a control freak or .
How can Amiee cope with this I can't even watch till the end .
Why did they paint the house so dark? 😶
I personally would have done white through the place with art and comfort pieces with pops of color that amy is attracted to. Put the money into therapy individual and couples therapy. A photo of the pile is a better reminder. I hope they are well a decade later
I am sorry but the house screams Victorian!!! Especially the fireplace. Why do today's designers not understand this concept. The Edward's and Victorian periods had elegance!!! Today's modern style minimalist furniture, fabrics and accessories are cheap, colorless and lacking in any beauty. Not only in the UK but in cities like San Francisco which boasts some elegant Victorian buildings. Today's modern look looks like Trash
It’s soo sad how much we can waste and even sadder the price that they’re sold for well done Amy. I hope you keep it up 👍 Itsjust stuff.
She's clearly at the point that she has already neglected their house.
Another "New York" style makeover. All these makeovers look contrived. And Amy gave up the stuff she loved for that crummy makeover, which she probably doesn't like.
I hope her fiance realises what he will work for, the rest of his life, if he stays with this woman. The 'designer' comes across as a bully, who pushes her bad taste onto her clients. I feel that she stuffs up the whole show.
The makeover part isn’t needed, shouldn’t the Money go toward the wedding?
Or a therapist? 😳
Right. The interior designer def'ly has a conflict of interest here and her ideas are strange.
Hideous paint colors. So awful
The colors were bad enough but the paint finish showed off every lump and bump in the walls 😕
fireplace on a floor level without any cover near a carpet barely getting any draft? That's a weird thing to see
I identify with Aimmie, I've realised I've developed a clothes hoarding problem since a mental health breakdown in late 2020 ,I'm walking sideways in one room because of the clothes in there ,some unworn with the labels on 😞
don't let it get out of hand. find a therapist to help you work through it, before the hoard takes over your complete house/apartment. take care of yourself and good luck! Also check out Stelios Kiosses on UA-cam.
OH MY GOD how hideous is this makeover, I would sue this designer, she needs to get out of that business.
This is the same as trying to keep a drunk out of the bar....
