What happens when you start going outside investors and hiding numbers, they start to cut corners, hope it’s not a sign that the channel is going downhill
This was a good refresher for the house overall, to be able to get a good sale. The staging however did not match the classy feel of the house, Scandi + Beech interior design does not suit the house. Personally, I wouldn't have chosen grey cupboards due to the dark brown floors and stairs. All-in-all I don't doubt this house was a wise financial decision :D
The problem with these kind of flips is they look like flips! There are so many homes for sale in this area that are much nicer at the same size and price point, This looks like a bland generic flip. Those details that were missed are important even if they cost money.
The blue on the wall in the kid room is from cheap “bed in a bag” bedding. When I met my husband, he had that from his crappy bedding on the wall. The last room on your before your was marketed as a media room. Ppl put movie theater type seating. Overall I really like this flip and the finishes you picked. I’m really glad you kept the wainscoting . I would have only changed 2 things. 1. I would have squared the large arch at the kitchen (near fireplace) and I would have squared the peninsula or removed that part and chamois with an island.
I think that y'all should do a hidden room in one of your flips like a hidden play room for kids or a hidden gun room/ man cave for the man of the house or an hidden art/craft studio for the woman of the house.
Hey Austin Flipsters. This is one of the houses funded by the viewers who invested with Austin Flipsters. Could we get an update on the financial details?
Bedroom with blue on the wall & floating square box was a twin bed frame, no headboard. Blue smudge from navy blue pillowcases that rubbed off on the paint... I had a son who's room looked like that.... if they had maroon sheets - the walls would have a red tint. BACK THEN boys sheet colors were navy, dark Forrest green, maroon, dark gray, black or white. NOTE: HEADBOARDS prevent smudging on the walls from dark color pillow cases.
You know that drop down ceiling above the toilet room in the primary bathroom must have been the home of some dusty plastic vines for many, many years.
the nook is a mess, where people put their stupid artificial flowers and nick knacks. cover the window above the fireplace. um this was your worst flip in my opinion, it looks like you spent 10k.
I dislike wall paper, , that 2nd family room upstairs, I would close in put a door on it and make it a large bedroom or even cut it in half if possible, make it 2rooms Sorry don't like grey color cabinets
The house looked so much better before. It was unique and colorful, it looked different from a large majority of houses, now its greyscale and cookie cutter. I hate it when renovaters follow trends, because trends always go out of style. Like please give it color, all the psych wards ive been forced in had more color than that.
Whomever y’all worked with on this project is a cheapskate. Because there were a lot more changes that needed to be done to this house. Y’all keep reiterating the price point and the area but the house just looks like y’all did cosmetic uplifts that’s it. That fireplace should’ve been redone, that nook in the wall should’ve been removed. They didn’t even hang the upper cabinets right in the kitchen. How is the backsplash and counter flush with the lower cabinets but not the upper. The island shape should’ve been changed. Very disappointed in this flip.
Some of the comments seem to be from folks who don’t realize this is a flip. What you’d do with your own house is very different from someone trying to turn around a flip in as short a time as possible within budget.
I think we all know it’s a flip given the nature of the show however we know that the purpose of a flip is to be turnkey and not have to re do a flip when the buyer will be paying premium.
You took a property dated 1999, and you upgraded to 2005...Awkward shapes all around the property, mixing styles and boring colours (please stop using grey cabinetry and tiles, they are so boring). My least favourite transformation.
I am surprised they changed it from the 90s to early 2000s. Still look so dated and wasted money to put apartment graded cheap cabinets. The angled peninsula is a definite eye sore. I am surprised they even kept it. The Upstair bathroom is completely lack of character.
Definitely would have dry walled over the niche in the living room wall. And painted the front door different color. Great job! Brown around stairs doesn’t match floor
Agreed. If they went to all that trouble to rip out the entire kitchen, why not go ahead and move the sink over in front of windows and do something more interesting where the peninsula was.
Meh, the angled countertop isn’t so bad, BUT that house is huge and so is that kitchen. That’s not nearly enough cabinet space. They needed to go all the way to the ceiling, and needed a lot more of them.
Yeah, but would island = more money in the sell? This is flipping, after all. With flipping, you only do what you need to do for profit, and nothing more.
I would have spent the money you used to fix the light in the niche to just drywall over it. It’s such an awkward eyecatcher and distracts from the rest of the room.
That kitchen’s cabinet corner is a mistake, we are not in 2000’. You put new cabinets, moving fixtures is not that expensive. All these nooks should have been covered. They only collect dust. That bonus room upstairs? It calls for a bedroom with walk in closet = more money. And why the side color of the stairs is different than on the floor? I love your flips, but this one has a lot of flaws
I can't believe you kept the weird shape kitchen sink and niche in the living room wall.... Different level cabinets on the kitchen wall... Why??? Staging on the bedroom was so sad....
Oof what a bunch of odd design choices, who would build a house like that? I’m sure it was too expensive to do but I really wish y’all would’ve filled in that weird shaped hole in the living room wall, replaced the carpet on the stairs with wood, updated the railings, and removed the peninsula in the kitchen. I think it looks much better than it did but it still feels slightly outdated.
I think they made great choices for a flip. A lot of these comments about design decisions are for a homeowner to make. The payoff for a flip isn’t there.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Most flips are not going to be huge floorplan remodels because of the expense. And they said early on in the video that moving walls and the like was not on the table for this house. No reason to nit pick over unnecessary expenses for a house they're not going to live in.
I feel like they cut so many corners to save money. Like why would you not update the stairs? The handrail is so dated. And the red wood clashes with the nice new floor. And keeping the fireplace? The fireplace should be the showstopper in that room. And instead my eyes gravitate towards that awkwardly shaped niche. They kept so many elements that made this house feel dated. This felt like such a bandaid renovation.
Are black handrails out of date now? This house is huge & way out of a lot of peoples budgets. A house from 1999 doesn’t need to be a full gut - it’s definitely move in ready for a big family. 👍🏻
I really like that you kept the local limestone, but I felt like the designs you chose kind of clash with it. It's super warm and you guys went with cooler whites and greys. I would have just tweaked the pallet to a warmer white, maybe more of griege carpets (and maybe carpet the stairs so the woods don't clash), and gone with a different color for the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms. Other than that, I think everything was freshened up beautifully for the next home owner. But you guys with your cool greys... I'll never understand it.
its really hot in summer down south. those 'cool grays' are perfect relief! The pale gray is calming and clean. it is reminiscent of stone. marvelous flip!
@@lilgrannyari the south is so humid though - oxygen level lower because of that. in fla. i dreamed daily of the northern skies in autumn w/ their deep silvery grey and leafless woodland below, brisk, cool air, so clear, clean, and fresh! ah! to breathe and sense the cooling earth all restfully preparing for winter's long sleep.
Several things: drywall over all niches, square off treys, add some sort of crown to the kitchen cabinets, remove/rework peninsula or at least lower it to counter height, remove limestone above the mantle or remove the arched part only, remove the column crown, take primary bath toilet room wall all the way up like you did the pantry, hardwood on stairs (or at least refinish the visible red stain that clashes now with the new floor downstairs). This one looks like you guys were in a major time crunch and bare bones budget. But definitely a big improvement! 😬
Agree. But you missed one, ceiling. When they first showed the house, they had comments about everything and then when they showed finished house you can see everything is left like before, only new paint. I liked all transformations from previous work, but this one not.
Wowww, this house is like the definition of a 90s Texas McMansion 😂 Especially with all those weird not-quite-thought-out moments. You definitely helped bring it into the 21st century!
Why is there a short upper cabinet at the right side of the kitchen. And you should have taken out the wrought iron railing to upstairs. It screams dated.
I get this is a flip but, so much was not taken advantage of. Even the staging was blah. The two, too small rugs in the dining and living room. The kitchen with the same angled counter. The bedroom with the cheap metal frame, uneven linen, and thin mattress YALL...come ON. Like I said, I get this is a flip and whoever purchases that house will have the money to do it right but, this was an elevated paint job.
In 1999 the big screen TV's were huge! So any TV room would have to have one of those huge built in's for it! Also usually the added living space above the living room was a great added family room. Someone had a huge family with lots of big electronics...high tech stuff has shrunk!
I expected much worse based on the comments, but this place is huge & so nice now! I’m glad y’all didn’t paint or demo the fireplace, I love Austin white stone.
Nope, e-eh. Even for a flip - not a good job. And ruining what could be a beautiful garden pains my heart the most... I do flips, too. Throwing a splash of white paint and slashing down every bit of foliage in favour of wood chips is not always a good solution for a quick flip. Buyers buy with their eyes. And here - so much wasted potential. Sorry for such harsh criticism. But it's honest.
I love all the update choices! As a person shopping for homes currently, I would have made the ruckus room into another bedroom by adding a door. There's so much communal space already!
Would be easy for new home owner to do that for younger parents who have their elderly disabled grand parents living there who may need the downstairs bedroom. Plenty of room for an extended family!
i love yall's commentary. sometimes its really funny, sometimes its just meh, but overall i love the vibe of you guys enjoying the walkthrough and joking about the house :p
I gotta say, without the numbers this starts to get a little meaningless for me. If you bought for a million and threw a million into it and sold for 2 million, that's not really a flip. It starts to get a little too HGTV
That wasn't blue paint. It was from having a platform bed in the corner of with blue sheets rubbing against the walls. My platform bed frame is basically a board on a box and leaves similar imprints in carpet
OMG i can’t believe you didn’t give that kitchen a better layout that house deserves.. I expected an island instead of that peninsula! Now I want to destroy that kitchen & redo it all over again!!! 🫣😭 The rest of the house is ok..
That fireplace is awful! Should have removed the stone on the upper part and left the gorgeous Austin stone on the bottom with a nice wood mantle. Also, I’d have put open shelves on either side of the kitchen window to cover how the quartz backsplash ends abruptly. I watch tons of flipping shows and can’t believe Austin prices for un-remodeled homes are almost as much as California! This house needed so much more updating to get rid of the 90’s! Agree with another comment about the reddish wood on the stairs. I’d have rather seen them painted than the outdated red color.
Gail McBride here! Love you guys, but sorry, the staging was mismatched with the type of home. Farmhouse is so predictable and trite. It is just overused in design. The staging should have been more formal and elegant, and those wide plank wood floors do not go with colonial homes. When will we as a nation will move on from the Farmhouse design?
I think people pretty much have, but flippers aren't aware of it. I got very tired of Joanna Gaines' interior designs. The shiplap and "shabby chic" touches quickly became boring. All of her interiors were modern farmhouse style in white, white, white. I think it's why people are now using more color in their kitchens and bathrooms. You might like HGTV's "Home Town" with Ben and Erin Napier (or Lapier?). Every one of their homes is different and the interiors reflect the architecture of the homes. In case you've never seen an episode here is a link to a short (HGTV makes you buy full episodes). ua-cam.com/video/kbjivY3tdPc/v-deo.html The house staging looks like a first time homeowner's mish mash of furniture and inexpensive wall art that'd be fine in a starter home's staging. The master bedroom looks like a teenager's room ordered from Ikea and garage sale finds. The kitchen cabinets are big box store cheap looking. Quartz countertops are expensive and there should have been higher quality cabinetry. I would have taken one look at the kitchen and walked out, uninterested in buying the house. Actually, I would never have gone to see it in the first place because it's so pretentious.
At 8:11, I think I would put plants up on the ledge in the bathroom. Preferably dangling ones like golden pothos or spider plants. I feel like it would add a nice green relaxing atmosphere to the bathroom.
Ew the master bedroom man, what is that? The staging is so incoherent, and the remodel is so boring and cheap. Like maybe don’t buy it if you cannot afford to make it nice. Then you’re gonna turn around and ask an exorbitant price for a cheap bandaid type of remodel
I dont understand why you put the angled peninsula back in. From the looks after the cabinets were taken out, it was intentionally rebuilt as an angled peninsula. Those are dated and it seems like it could have been just as easy to rebuild it straight. Or at the very least, make it 1 level. Someone is going to tear that out :( what a waste of money
Too much white for me. And I found the kitchen and bathroom updates really boring. The house itself just has a lot of wasted space. It would not be my choice for a house.
I HATE when ranges are unnecessarily crowded, often against walls or cabinets. You can always tell when a designer isn't a cook, otherwise they'd know to ensure there's plenty of space for pan handles, cooling racks, and mise en place on both sides of the cooktop. Considering 85 to 90% of the population is right-handed, adequate space on the right side of the cooktop is particularly valuable. This is a huge kitchen, with seemingly limitless potential to create a fabulous active triangle and you put the stove there? Aaack! And the fridge in the far corner? Come on. Mix it up. Why not put the pantry cabinets there instead and shift the fridge back where it began within the active workspace. The stove would be best on the exterior wall, along that wasted run of counter. It's easier to directly vent the exhaust fan from there too. Your choice of materials looks fab, of course, and I love the transformations. But you need to up your game on the functionality of your kitchen layouts.
The only thing I would have done different be square off the kitchen peninsula and make it only one level not bar hight, stucco the fireplace remove the window and take it up to the ceiling
I can't say I agree with the color of the exterior wall paint. It no longer matches with the bricks :(

Do more with the landscape, like some sod front and back.

Compared to the hue you usually choose, I like the deeper, warmer floors.
the trees outside of that thing is extremely gorgeous

Crown molding is out of style? I love it

Such a big house, obviously not cheap, but crookedly installed sockets...

Another wonderful job
The meme editing is getting better😂
The house is still hideous, inside and out.

So much wasted space on the upper floor. Could have been two more bedrooms.
Definitely would have dry walled over the niche in the living room wall. And painted the front door different color. Great job!
Brown around stairs doesn’t match floor

Agreed. If they went to all that trouble to rip out the entire kitchen, why not go ahead and move the sink over in front of windows and do something more interesting where the peninsula was.
Also, upper cabinets look cheap without crown molding.
I was also so disappointed when they left it cramped compared to the massive house with that arched opening to the living room 🥲

Man, I hate to say it but y'all are slippin
The hole in the living room wall should be covered because it makes no sense to put anything there, it will collect dust and be difficult to clean.
I would add a beautiful hanging pothos up there it has perfect windows for the sun to hit that corner.
You can tell everything in this house was cheaply done. Even the staging😂😂
Even the bed sheets are crooked
I would have spent the money you used to fix the light in the niche to just drywall over it. It’s such an awkward eyecatcher and distracts from the rest of the room.

Don’t love the kitchen, bathrooms and upstairs. The finishes were underwhelming. A lot of missed opportunities to make big bucks on this one.
WHY would you keep the living room hole in the wall? Light centered or not, it's AWFUL.
The last two flips were quite meh. Waiting for a comeback...

I'm hoping gray stops being "on trend." I've never been a fan so especially gray vanities and gray floor tiles is a no for me.
Sorry, but this looks like a freshly painted dated home.
😂😂😂😂
It looks great
Several things: drywall over all niches, square off treys, add some sort of crown to the kitchen cabinets, remove/rework peninsula or at least lower it to counter height, remove limestone above the mantle or remove the arched part only, remove the column crown, take primary bath toilet room wall all the way up like you did the pantry, hardwood on stairs (or at least refinish the visible red stain that clashes now with the new floor downstairs). This one looks like you guys were in a major time crunch and bare bones budget. But definitely a big improvement! 😬
They don’t do a lot of the finer details. Paint, floors is about it. I agree with all your suggestions though.
Great summary. Totally agree.

Why is there a short upper cabinet at the right side of the kitchen. And you should have taken out the wrought iron railing to upstairs. It screams dated.
I prefer the darker warmer floors verses the color you normally choose.

What do you do with the still usable fixtures you remove from your properties--lighting fixtures, spigots, cabinetry, etc.?
That wasn't blue paint. It was from having a platform bed in the corner of with blue sheets rubbing against the walls. My platform bed frame is basically a board on a box and leaves similar imprints in carpet

I watch tons of flipping shows and can’t believe Austin prices for un-remodeled homes are almost as much as California! This house needed so much more updating to get rid of the 90’s! Agree with another comment about the reddish wood on the stairs. I’d have rather seen them painted than the outdated red color.
Please, please, please tell your home stagers to spring for bed skirts to cover up those cheap, janky-looking, metal bed frames.
This is my literal dream to find a McMansion like this and flip it. Such a weird house with so much potential
Yikes, they left the big ugly tub.
disappointed to see the height difference in the countertop in the kitchen, I mean why do they rip out the whole kitchen, what's the point?
Gail McBride here! Love you guys, but sorry, the staging was mismatched with the type of home. Farmhouse is so predictable and trite. It is just overused in design. The staging should have been more formal and elegant, and those wide plank wood floors do not go with colonial homes. When will we as a nation will move on from the Farmhouse design?
I think people pretty much have, but flippers aren't aware of it.
I got very tired of Joanna Gaines' interior designs. The shiplap and "shabby chic" touches quickly became boring. All of her interiors were modern farmhouse style in white, white, white. I think it's why people are now using more color in their kitchens and bathrooms.
You might like HGTV's "Home Town" with Ben and Erin Napier (or Lapier?). Every one of their homes is different and the interiors reflect the architecture of the homes. In case you've never seen an episode here is a link to a short (HGTV makes you buy full episodes). ua-cam.com/video/kbjivY3tdPc/v-deo.html
The house staging looks like a first time homeowner's mish mash of furniture and inexpensive wall art that'd be fine in a starter home's staging. The master bedroom looks like a teenager's room ordered from Ikea and garage sale finds.
The kitchen cabinets are big box store cheap looking. Quartz countertops are expensive and there should have been higher quality cabinetry. I would have taken one look at the kitchen and walked out, uninterested in buying the house. Actually, I would never have gone to see it in the first place because it's so pretentious.
The house I sent the link to isn't a great example of what they do, but you can look for other episodes.
At 8:11, I think I would put plants up on the ledge in the bathroom. Preferably dangling ones like golden pothos or spider plants. I feel like it would add a nice green relaxing atmosphere to the bathroom.
For that house to have been built in 1999, it has some really 80s to early 90s finishes. The designers definitely weren’t thinking ahead.
Out of all the projects that I have seen y’all do this is by far one of my favorite projects. You kept it simple and it turned out great!
I would close the hole.
This was enough for a flip! The new homeowners can do more if they want.
“It’s an implied column” Lincoln is so funny!!
Ew the master bedroom man, what is that? The staging is so incoherent, and the remodel is so boring and cheap. Like maybe don’t buy it if you cannot afford to make it nice. Then you’re gonna turn around and ask an exorbitant price for a cheap bandaid type of remodel
I dont understand why you put the angled peninsula back in. From the looks after the cabinets were taken out, it was intentionally rebuilt as an angled peninsula. Those are dated and it seems like it could have been just as easy to rebuild it straight. Or at the very least, make it 1 level. Someone is going to tear that out :( what a waste of money
That jetted bathtub is horrible and so hard to keep clean 🫤
Too much white for me. And I found the kitchen and bathroom updates really boring. The house itself just has a lot of wasted space. It would not be my choice for a house.
I HATE when ranges are unnecessarily crowded, often against walls or cabinets. You can always tell when a designer isn't a cook, otherwise they'd know to ensure there's plenty of space for pan handles, cooling racks, and mise en place on both sides of the cooktop. Considering 85 to 90% of the population is right-handed, adequate space on the right side of the cooktop is particularly valuable. This is a huge kitchen, with seemingly limitless potential to create a fabulous active triangle and you put the stove there? Aaack! And the fridge in the far corner? Come on. Mix it up. Why not put the pantry cabinets there instead and shift the fridge back where it began within the active workspace. The stove would be best on the exterior wall, along that wasted run of counter. It's easier to directly vent the exhaust fan from there too.
Your choice of materials looks fab, of course, and I love the transformations. But you need to up your game on the functionality of your kitchen layouts.
Same with the last flip on that little kitchen
The only thing I would have done different be square off the kitchen peninsula and make it only one level not bar hight, stucco the fireplace remove the window and take it up to the ceiling
I suggest drywall, cover that sucker up. The nook that is😂
I find lots of their renos are lacking.
