House Hunters Renovation - General Discussion - Page 38 - House Hunters Renovation

Tonight's new episode-She dislikes the aluminum siding on the second house, and wants to put stucco on it in Massachusetts?    I hate her already.   Plus, the reason the first and second had the apartment style third floors is for the live-in nanny.   They could never be rented out, because they have no second method of fire egress, unless they think hanging out the window and screaming for help is an egress method.   

On another shallow note, the wife needs to get that red mole under her left nostril looked at, and removed.   It looks like her nose is bleeding.  

I can't imagine having a million dollar plus budget, and having to renovate too.   And on the third house, the second floor bath was true vintage, and redoing it is sacrilege.   

However, the preview showed marble counter tops and the brass or rose gold kitchen faucets, so I hate their taste anyway.  

I can't believe they're going to paint that authentic, vintage fire place white.   OMG!  Blaming her mother for painting the fireplace turquoise?    Unless she's my long lost sister, and we have the same mom, no way her mother would do that color without permission, only my mother would do that.   That's not turquoise, it's light blue, and looks awful.   Bad taste runs in her family.     Her husband seems to have learned to like her taste, because that fireplace looks terrible, and the mantle makes it look even worse.   

The kitchen is white, with marble counter tops, marble back splash, and they stained all of the floors super dark.   I hope she realizes she'll see every dust mote that hits the floor.    I hate the kitchen range too, and what an amazing coincidence, it is almost the shade of the fire place.     I hate painting the back of the cabinets blue too.       The kitchen island is awful, and too low to use for any cooking, unless you sit down, and chop food, and will be a total strain on your back to use, plus it doesn't match anything.   The island just doesn't fit the rest of the cabinets either.    Plus spending extra on brass/rose gold fixtures in the kitchen, and all on a $70k budget?     I've never liked the glass door cabinets either, because I bet she'll just use them to show off her fancy dishes, and that makes them useless for regular use.     In their place, I would have done the door to the dining room, and widened the other door, and not put the island there, and if  I needed extra prep space, then I would have put in a regular matching island that is a conventional height with a decent sized breakfast bar.      I noticed the 'accidental' fireplace color coordinated with all of her other choices, like the stove, the cabinet back paint, the rug in the family room, so there was a definite theme.      I'm just glad their pick wasn't the third house, because I'm sure they would have destroyed it too, and I really loved that one.  

The powder room, wallpaper and that tiny corner sink are hideous!     They only went $4k over their $70k budget, but that's only because the parents helped so much.  I can only imagine what other horrible updates she's going to inflict on that house.   Actually, I dislike her so much I hope she does put stucco Dryvit on the outside, and she can watch it crumble.    

They should have found a cook cutter new build,and have been able to pick the finishes,  with an open, white kitchen, hardwoods in the right color, and then not destroy that beautiful house.
