- Laura and Errol thought their semi-detached Edwardian home was soundproof…That is, until the new neighbors - her ex-husband’s cousins - moved in next door. Now, the couple is desperate to sell the three-bedroom house, but after six weeks on the market, they haven’t received a single offer. On the plus side, the charming home offers plenty of potential, but with its dark, drab interiors, covered windows, ratty brown furnishings, and dog mausoleum, the property is completely unsellable.
In order to match the home to its price tag, Sofie comes up with a plan to bring out its innate cottage charm. And while Anthony and the team get busy painting, updating the décor, and revealing the home’s features, Sofie intervenes with the agent/friend, and shows the couple what it takes to make a fantastic first impression.

Unsellables - It’s A Dog’s House - Season 2 - Episode 4
#Unsellables
I wouldn't want to live next door to my ex's relative either. I would feel like they were spying on me. The chances of running into my ex would be a turn off. I hope they sold the house.
I actually wonder if this lady had a super toxic relationship with her ex. Closing off windows with curtains and objects, not listening to her realtors plans because she wants her privacy respected, and out of all of the places in that city her ex's family members move in right next to her?
It reminds me of those situations where someone's bitter ex keeps finding ways to keep tabs on people.
I agree, her ex-husband sounds like a Narcissist who is sending his flying monkeys to keep tabs on her. Yikes!
I had the same thoughts.
No kidding, how in in the world does your ex's cousin move in next door??? Sabotage!!!
Having had a vindictive husband whose new wife made my life hell, I totally agree. I'd get a small, yapping dog or two or three... and let them yap all the time INSIDE the house. I suggest chihuahuas. Fight fire with fire. That's how I handle my neighbor's loud car with the thumping bass - Pavarotti. It doesn't take many arias to make it stop. And I sing along with Pavarotti if I need to. :D It works wonders.
Love, love, LOVE Sofie's retro 40's hair and make-up for this episode! Gorgeous!!
She's adorable! I love the hairstyle too!
Getting rid of the coat closet and allowing that gorgeous stained glass window to show again was stupendous!
It's definitely an improvement. However, only 1 of the two being stained glass makes it look a bit off
@Donna, I agree with you. Having just the one stained glass looked silly with a plain window next to it.
I agree. They did it without altering the function of the space. Even with the adjacent window being different it doesn't matter because the decorative window is part of almost a separate piece of furniture.
I honestly believe if her ex’s family hadn’t moved in next door and their dog hadn’t recently died they wouldn’t have sold their house. They are emotional drained and needed a new beginning, I hope they found it
It wasn't a mausoleum, sadly, it was a pawsoleum. People who don't have pets don't get what a tremendous loss it is.
Exactly!! I have my cat's ashes on my second bedroom..but currently I have 2 little dogs and 3 cats!! They are my family as is just me!! My sisters tell me get rid of them and your house would look like a museum?? You would have nice sofas? I don't care ..is my house..I clean..I vacuum..and anyway they never come to visit me!!!
It is devastating.
They really don't.. I cried at this remembering my darling boy.. it absolutely destroys you..My dogs ashes are in my bedroom and there they will stay
Bless her. The pain of losing a beloved pet is a deep grief. Her dog was very loved.
It made me cry.. reminded me of loosing my darling dog..
Comp house "The furniture is placed artistically".. ummm it's placed in the only position available lol lol
Look at this young man showing up to view his renovated house in a nice suit + tie! That was so sweet. Good luck to this lovely couple. I was very sorry about their dog the chocolate lab, a real beauty.🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
This couple had to get out of there. Sad story of the dog dying, but the new neighbours who are her ex's cousins means it's time to move on. Not good for anybody to have a reminder of an ex every time you come home. Nice and simple updating of the house. I really would like to know how long it took for them to sell. Some episodes tell us, others don't. It seems Sophie's big thing is letting in more light and updating to a more modern feel and using the space better by removing furniture, moving furniture around or getting new pieces - and fixing up unfinished reno spots or fixing things that are broken etc. Not easy for everyone to do, but if it helps sell the house quicker it would be worth it. I find it interesting that a lot of the people in these episodes don't seem to have realised that they're selling because they're moving out - and that their own taste and feelings is not as important as getting a quick sale at the right price.
I'd only be concerned about the undesirable neighbors. Domestic animals aren't necessary (in my own life, and I don't live anyone else's for them), but I hate the sound of shrieking children and noisy adults!!!
@@jb6712 Oh you are the one that keeps saying something negative about pets like in other episodes too. Nice.
@@jb6712 And barking, howling dogs. It's all relative.
Loved watching these shows when they came on cable. Sofie and Anthony have great chemistry and a great partnership. Sofie is great in this role.
I always think they are more than friends.
You know, that big rock in the front yard would be good up-lighted with house numbers adhered there. Yes??
It'd look better then it does now.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned that the Real Estate Agent looks exactly like Martin Short. I was just waiting for him to throw his arms open and do so jazz hands. 🤷🏻♀️
I will never understand why it is so common to put beds in front of the window. I immediately thought that the bed would look so much better when being put up against the wall on the right - and exactly that's what they did, thank God!
Those silent moments are so awkward, haha!
Edit: Noooo, they have one of those tacky "EAT" signs in the kitchen 😭 That's like the quintessential sign of being basic and lacking creativity for your home!
And it's white letters on a white wall.
I wouldn’t buy this property no matter how nice they made it look. Every time they show the front of the house all I focus on is all the junk on the neighbors porch. And the current owners keep talking about the noise. I would have discovered that too because I’ve learned to view potential homes multiple times at different times of day and different days of the week. Nope, not being attached to junky, noisy neighbors.
LuvMyCardiKids Yes. That's the real reason no one wants it.
Also those large rocks for landscaping.
Isn't there an HOA they could file a complaint with? Seems like there should be one, as nice as the neighborhood is. 🤷♀️ I would do that to improve the exterior, and if I had the budget, I would hire a contractor to tear out the interior walls between the two units and soundproof them.
@@nataliaturner4845 nope. This is in Canada and there are very few HOAs.
Smart to check it out many times, but smarter to just never buy an attached house or condo or apartment of any kind. You have no control over the next door neighbor over time. The great neighbor you discovered next to you could be gone soon or eventually so it doesn't matter how much you check it out. I'd buy a free-standing shack on the edge of town before I'd buy anything attached.
I love that soothing blue and the foyer color. What a huge difference!
Diffusers can cause an asthma attack to someone who is sensitive.
It would be nice to know if they sold the house how long it took to sell after they redid it. Isn't that the point of the show?
They only say it when the house is sold immediately after the staging. If it takes longer they don't.
Anthony is such a great personality in this show 👌💕💖
Did anyone else get the feeling that they're only moving because the ex-husband's family moved in
Did anyone else get the feeling that the ex-husband sicced his loud family on them?
Sounds like a good reason to move to me. A fresh start and time to move because of pet passing. Plus the noise. I have been there. I would never buy a half of a house anyway. To close to the neighbors. Each to his own.
I thought the same thing!
It's obvious she loathes them. LOL!!! The way the house is split in half is beyond strange.
@@KJ-xc6qs We call them duplexes, not semi-detached. They were at one time quite common and efficient with space. Then people realized how annoying it was and they fell out of favor except for low-income folks since they were cheap. However, those in this video seem to be in a highly desirable location, perhaps undergoing gentrification. I'd rather a shack on the edge of town, but that's me.
I get the feeling that she blocks out all of the curtains to prevent her ex-husband's family from watching her...
So nice to see the artful transformation. The changes will help the sellers detach more from the house and move on. The blue is fresh and beachy. The front porch looks more finished.
This was one awkward episode! Those weird shots of the homeowners, the shots of the city with no voiceover. Sofie always walks like she's about to fall over.
:D It's partly the wide-angle camera lens making her appear to lean forward ... i.e. distortion.
Though that dress worn for the reveal tours ... unfortunate. I thought she was pregnant at first.
Also, sometimes women develop stances or walks more suited to skirts - stances that just look awkward when wearing pants - or vice versa.
Yes she does, a combination of knock kneed and heels that are too high!
Fashion choices are not great either
karen cap Ok, what do you want her to wear then? The stuff you wear? Yeah, sure, let's just put her in a t shirt and jeans on International TV and hope no one thinks she's a homeless art student.
Yeah, the editing is really weird. It’s like a film student did it. There’s like a million shots of the front of the house. It’s almost like there wasn’t enough content and they were trying to fill the 22 minutes.
Some voiceovers definitely seem to be missing from this episode!
Yes I've noticed this and also the episode before!
Yes! The strange editing with views of the neighbourhood (I presume) and constant zooming to the front of the house is irritating and amateurish. A complete waste of time and does nothing for this show. I have to grit my teeth and wait for it to be over, each and every time.
umm should have spruced up the back deck too, looks worn & old, to bad there wasn't 2 stained glass windows, 1 looks odd.
Install one inch sound board on the wall next to the neighbors.
Will this work in my condo? My neighbor and I share a wall and I can hear him snoring.
@@pineapplegina Oh, sug, I am so sorry. I had that in my first apartment in the 80's...lol I was 16 and there was no way I could come up with the money to soundproof walls. I hung heavy quilts up like tapestries over the entire center wall except the bathroom and the kitchen, so living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 hallway closets. Thank God for quilting memaws.
@@pineapplegina It would probably help a lot - and if you combine that with Shawn Sisler's suggestion you'd be able to get creative with a fabric wall of your fancy .... think of the colours & textures you could use! ....
.... I'm literally eyeing up one of my bedroom walls right now ....
@@pineapplegina You get what you pay for. In my former condo, I used a drywall product called Quiet Rock (same as what movie theatres use to isolate sound between them). It works quite well but is also quite expensive.
A person selling a house gives up his or her's privacy. You have to be ready on short notice for a showings. Not wanting to have a Realtors luncheon because she wants to preserve her privacy shows she doesn't understand what it takes to sell a house.
Oops--some mistakes with grammar.
So true. I just made a similar comment. I've noticed that in a lot of episodes the sellers seem to get excited about the updating as if they're going to be living there to enjoy it. It's almost like they're acting like tenants, not owners. I've been to some rental inspections as a renter with the previous tenant still living there and the place is a pig sty. Dirty clothes all over the place, hair in the bathroom sink and shower, dirty dishes in the kitchen, etc - and that's because that previous tenant doesn't care whether the owner finds a new tenant or not. When you're selling a house, it's in your best interests to detach from the house and view it is as a product you're selling - because once you decide to sell, that's what it is: a product. It's not your home anymore.
That was a crazy reason
The wife is super annoying.
Keanu Reeves' cousin looks good in a suit!
Love the window seat
The bedroom is amazing and cozy now!!
Over half a million for an attached house/duplex🤦
Welcome to Toronto! Yet Vancouver is more expensive, not to mention San Francisco, New York, LA ...
Mourning a dog is something that takes a lot of time, and I feel for these owners. I've also had the experience of having neighbors that are LOUD move in next door and ruin your house. It's difficult. Mine party all night and have me up at 5 a.m. with their loud truck. So, I get that. Really, this house was not that bad. It needed flowers, and all the suggestions given were right on. I always suggest NEW towels, dish cloths, and a bedding set. This was a good episode. Nice job. And for those of us who don't have the carpentry skills, you could buy a bench to replace that closet that hid the stained glass if you can't built one.
The price tag seems absolutely crazy to me. I imagine it would go for much more today. But it doesn't make sense to me.
Toronto is a very popular city and where everyone wants to live/work. Vancouver is another one.
The after Living Room looks very cluttered and small, the white end table near the stairs has to go.
Agree
You would be running into it a lot I would think 🤔😂
How beautiful!
Priscilla Gomez, hi.....My daughter is Air Force and 42 years old. Her darling Cat Pie passes away 2 weeks ago. She took her to the special surgery hospital and she beat Cancer. However after a gall stone operation, her old age caught up with her and she was ready to pass. My daughter had a special Veterinarian come to the house, Pie let her know it was time and they medically helped Pie to pass away. My kid is tough, but she balled her eyes out, she had her for 8 1/2 years. I gave Pie to her when I went to assisted living I had her for 3 years, since she was a baby. Sadly, so people have never loved a darling pet, I wept here in Indiana and she, Pie was in Colorado. I will never forget Pie...her full name was Pie Wackett...from the movie Bell, Book, and Candle. Thanks for listening, Priscilla, I know you will understand.
So sorry about the kitty
I am 72 and have had animals all my life. Still have a dog and a cat. I have lost many over the years, of course, and still cry for them occasionally. I believe I will be with them again when I pass over.
Love the shade of blue used
I think the reason for the weird silences when one expects voiceover is due to a sound issue not the actual show. I think the show was filmed properly but possibly the voiceover talking about the couple and the neighborhood isn't playing properly.
Nope, it was eliminated. Multiple episodes in this season removed the voiceovers. It was re-instated in later episodes. Different Directors & Producers probably wanted to change things up.
It seems as if Sofie's vocie overs were left out.
I see no reason to repaint; the new color was not lighter and the old color was just fine. The new curtains were also covering the windows, blocking the light so what was the point?
Seriously, if there's color, she wants it painted white. Then the kitchen was white, and she had to paint it! I think she goes overboard with the knick-knacks. She put THREE PAIRS of vases around the couch. Clutter!
Wow! What a transformation! LOVE the window seat - huge improvement. I was hoping she'd move the bed to the other wall in the master and use slip covers in the living room. It looks very fresh and clean. Cute couple. I wish them well. That wasn't an easy situation. That's something my ex would have done.
hideous slip covers.
I agree. Horrible.
True but they are there to serve one purpose. Brighten the room cheaply, fade into the background so people notice the room. Okay maybe that’s two purposes
@@Nadia..J besides agreeing with you , I’m glad they used those “ugly “slip covers on the leather sofas, because I’m been “ thinking 🤔 “ of buying some just like those for my sofas - now, there is no way I will ever do that! I”ll
just start a “ go fund myself “ home page and buy new sofas 🤓 ( no matter how long it takes. ) 😂
It's taken me 5 yrs to communicate to my son's ex that I no longer welcome her walking into my home, uninvited, unannounced, + w/o knocking. And, to get her and my son to accept, quietly, that I really don't want her bizarre parents w serious issues, making themselves at home here for holidays, or anytime!
I have two beloved grandchildren -- that still doesn't change my desire to not have to deal w her anymore. She's a "12 yo, irresponsible-acting babysitter" type of mother. It's been awkward.
In my area, the noisy neighbors, like barking dogs and other nuasances would have to be disclosed on the listing agreement.
@graphicats 3D Sooooo ... at the date such a listing agreement is signed there were no "noisy neighbours" but after moving in, the neighbour buys a noisy puppy. That agreement did nothing for you. And, this happened to me. Within weeks of moving in, my neighbours bought a yappy puppy.
That would be completely impractical here, in the city where this filmed, my neighbour is 3’ away from us on one side, attached on the other, and there’s tons of people across the street too. What’re you giing to do? Tell the whole neighbourhood to shut up, fuck off, and never have dogs, kids, careers or renovate anything lol. You are living with everybody and you do your best to get along.
After 4 years on RUclips, you'd think someone would realize they posted a bunch of videos with missing voice overs.
We notice. What can we do about it?
All the transition sounds crack me up. Woosh.
why would you paint over a beautiful wood porch with beige paint? It's like covering wood with a faux wood, what's the point.
That's what I was thinking! The wood looked so beautiful and it looked like it was in great condition too! It was definitely a bad idea to paint over it.
Why are all these shows so worried about dark furniture? Won't the furniture be going and the new owners bringing their own furniture anyway?
Many prospective buyers have no imagination. Same goes for many home owners.
Worst video production on scenes of the front of the house but best makeover yet.
Nice job Sofie.
Sofie is not here - this isn't her channel.
Over half a million for half a house? No way!
This thing about broken mirrors bringing 7 years of bad luck needs to be kicked to the curb! How silly do you have to be to think that a broken mirror would actually affect your future?? I don't believe in luck or coincidences.
Judge the make over all you want but damn let Sophie dress how she wants.
I would have had the stained glass window appraised, just in case it's not valuable and worth 250,000!
The grey facade of the house was somber. It needed a paint job. The front yard needed some curb appeal. A simple trimming of the hedges would have made the yard attractive. They could have stained the porch flooring. The interior fix was nice, but the rooms still appeared to be dark, considering it was the end house. The bedroom was a big improvement. Hopefully, the homeowners fixed up the remaining bedroom, to compliment the rest of the house. For the first time, the renovation team did not put unnecessary wall hangings (and holes) on the walls.
I wonder why they didn't use a white tablecloth on the dining room table to cover up even more of the dark brown table?
Good idea - a nice crisp white runner would have also worked.
Loosing your dog is massive.. Its so painful
I’m so irritated that they painted the front porch. It looked so good before they did!
So, only half that building is over $600,000? Ridiculous! The whole house isn't even worth that!
Love this house, before and after
The houses all have that narrow stairway!
I can't believe they showed gang related "marking of territory" in this presentation....count me out on buying in this neighborhood.
😮 do you have a time stamp?
Oh 2:44 😱
I don’t see anything. Do you mean the shoes?
@@ber1779 yes tied shoes on the wire/outside a house
the living room looks worse that before, awful chair covers makes the furniture look twice the size.
Wait till the new buyers hear the screaming kids next door!
It’s really normal here, only people who’ve never lived in a city would be shocked
We never term this a split house but a duplex. That is the best term for a house split in two and no one I know would buy just half of a house. This said, my sons ex girlfriend had one out in CO and I never cared for it at all. The privacy factor of owning a home of your own is priceless. I really do like the house as an entire house but not split. They did a good job of making it look nice though.
A split house is one that was designed as a fully detached home and later "split in two." Most of these houses, in Toronto, are considered semi-detached and are designed specifically with a common wall/foundation but totally separate living areas. Without seeing it in person, it's difficult to see which one it is.
@@ScubaSteveCanada Yes its just a different term to mean the exact same thing. Here you either split a big house in two or you build two units with only a wall between them and I won't ever live in one..I have my own water view home on a private island that cost us $400,000 14 years ago...now I have incredible value to my home...my neighbors are vacation home owners....only 100 of us live here.... As to splitting a big house, it can be done with separate yards or shared yards. I have Canadian relatives and yes, one of them lived in a split home that was a Quad split...they bought a free standing home recently! To me split homes are like a form of apt due to lack of privacy. I find them very overpriced.
@@romy4593 Toronto is where a lot of people find employment, living way out in the country for privacy just isn’t practical for everyone
@@jwilliams8931 Its not about living in the country. My Canadian relatives live in Calgary area....she is a caterer and has lived out of town there before. I live on an island out here in WA not the country. It takes us only 15 mins to get to Everett by water, suburb of Seattle. We love visiting our wonderful Canadian relatives as its only around 100 miles to drive to the border crossing from Everett. My comment about how I would not choose it is as a means to live is that I have spent many years in apts in my youth. My comment was about the home itself. I cant imagine paying that kind of money for split home living...I just watched a video about how Calgary ripped down a trailer park because they wanted the property back and it is very valuable. This made 186 trailers full of owners have to give up their homes! They were given $10,000 each to leave and their homes all bull dozed. One elderly man had spent around $20,000 the year before fixing his up, reroofing it etc. It was an open view of a golf course which is worth a lot for developing.......most of them didn't have the money to do anything more then move into sub standard housing. Some of the elderly rented basement apts.
This is pretty much apartment living with the option to stop paying “rent” aka mortgage in 50 years. What’s the point in buying these houses?
I've had dozens of animals in my life, some of which died; but none of them, not even one, did I ever make any kind of shrine to, nor would I ever do that.
Actually, now that I'm as old as I am, and I only rent, not wanting the care and upkeep of a house anymore, my three favorite words on a lease are "No pets allowed."
To each their own.
@@cocokai9661 Yeah all fuzzy feelings with this one.
Their furniture is sooo brown. Well yeah, wood furniture normally is. And theirs looks like nice stuff.
That is not a condo, so it should be 1 owner not 2 seperate owners for 1 house. It looks stupid with HALF of a house on the outside looking so different. Even when I and another family was just renting a real duplex, we still made sure the outside matched, same flowers in front and similar curtains in the front windows.
This is a semi detached and it’s pretty much the norm here, this is Toronto not the suburbs
"What is this furniture? So brown." So brown in my house, means it is made of high quality, solid wood, some of it antiques, not the contemporary, poorly made stuff you are suggesting.
Yes!
All the houses she does are twins... ugh. For the amount they all ask it's amazing that anyone buys. Also why not say the final sale price and how long it took to sell?
It was a reality show; how long would you expect them to follow-up to see if a house sold or not and for how much? 1 month, 2 months, 4, months, never?? They've already moved on to the next production in the series.
They’re called semi detached and are pretty much the norm in downtown Toronto
I hope buyers kept bench. Yet added baskets for shoe storage.
The sellers are moving because the house is not soundproofed enough and the kids next door are noisy. Tell that and see how many people want to buy.
They never use masking tape or better quality board other than MDF
They aren't renovating the house. They're spending less than 5,000 total to stage the house in order to make it look nice enough to sell. The improvements don't have to be permanent or perfect, they just have to sell the house.
Oh, I am so glad you noticed this!! I had painters, for instance, come into my home to update with fresh paint. They were so good at what they did, that they did not ever need or use masking tape. It was really something to see. Me, I tape everything..lololo...But--a home-owner needs to hire proven experience to get the jobs done quickly and expertly; it's so worth it. I noticed right away that this production team only hires the best. Great job!!
Had an older guy paint my house interiors. He didn’t use tape but it ended up perfect. Experience, a good eye and a steady hand make tape superfluous.
I have a question for those who have pillows on patio furniture; does it stay out there to get wet when it rains or do you bring it in?
I have pillows on my covered front porch. They get damp but remain mostly dry. They have never smelled or have gotten stained from water or mold. You can also civer them with outdoor fabric.
@@lisafeldmann9863 Ahh, okay. I just see pillows and stuff for chairs outside and I've always wondered if people ran out real quick to pull them inside before it rained, lol!
If you purchased outside pillows no problem. They are drying quickly and protected against mildew.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley pillows sold for outdoor furniture are usually water resistant if not waterproof
@@reginawhitlock4227 Well, that's really good.
And they felt alot better.
Why are people so stupid that they don't realise when people move they will take their furniture with them and they can open the curtains?
It's a psychological thing. There's a reason why model homes are always bright and airy.
@@ArmednotTriggered actually, a lot of it is noisy neighbors.
Dog photo are fine. Don't block the windows. Brown furniture is fine.
I have lived in townhomes in the past. I remember lying in bed early morning and I distinctly heard the sound of a spoon dropping in a mug. You hear everything when joined to another house. I can’t blame them for wanting to move. Just wonder who would want to buy half a house.
Someone that wants to live to the downtown core but can't afford or find a fully detached house. Toronto has many areas fully of semi-detached houses.
six weeks !!!! thats nothing
How do you soundproof an old house’s dividing walls?
Mike Holmes can tell you.
Don't understand why so many people position their beds under the window with a big headboard. What happened to the telly?
The frequencies emitted by a television can interrupt your sleep, so a TV in the bedroom is not a good idea.
Then there are those of us who have given up TV years ago and don't have to decorate around it. It's very freeing!
Why do you think someone else is going to buy a house next door to that noise? If its bad enough for them to sell....its BAD! The brown color theme is due to have a chocolate lab!! When you have dog you buy flooring or carpet the same color as the dog - DUH- every dog owner knows this.
Nonsense.
They live in a city, you can’t control everything everybody else is doing
PS these front steps are not up to code or in any way safe.
You will still have noisy/annoying neighbors :(
What an odd couple.
Talk about the tail wagging the dog. Or is it the other way around here? First house with doggy-style architecture and if you're keeping a portrait of your dog and the ashes it may be time to see if there are veterinarian psychiatrists. At least by the time it was fixed it had a real Bow Wow factor. Woof!
there are 10 vases at 18:01 (kitchen)~~~> l o o k #10....the swish and whoosh sounds at the end are w e i r d 17:31soft porn vibe....as they turn out the lights there is a person shape in the entrance with a hat 21:26 scary
Well spotted 👏😂
I love Brown too. It's one of my Favorite Colors and that Example House looks like a huge Elevator! Ugh on that Color yall painted the lower half! Just Ugly!!!!
Have to say, bringing blue into a room full of brown is just wrong ... the cream in the bedroom pairs well OTOH.
As far as show production goes ...
That is some sedating background music for the montages ... ennui rising ... must suppress.
And the intro shots of the homeowners at the beginning ... a sudden cut to a stranger staring into a camera is jarring and random. Introduce them first. The zoom onto the porch- seated couple is a better way to introduce two new characters; maybe overlay some names.
WideGauge brown is a neutral that goes well with any color, though the shade may need to be considered. Plus, they covered the brown furniture with white slip covers, and the blue looks great with it.
Americans do seem to like heavy brown furniture, but perhaps IKEA will change all that
Anthony seems so annoyed
I can’t believe they have the front of the house the color of Human Flesh!!! 😳 🤮
Yes that color was horrid. It was like the old crayons crayon color “flesh”.
Their dog died so they've lost interest in their house?
I understand them....it's been a year for us and we can't stop seeing her in her favorite spots....
Depression takes lots of different forms. And the death of a beloved pet can mirror the death of a child in some ways, as they fill similar roles in our lives.
In life
Sounds like it is a combination of the dog dying, the ex's relatives moving in nextdoor door and the noisy children.
They may have bought the house because it had a yard, now that the dog has passed they may not need the yard as much. Plus who wants to live next door to your ex's family?
Camera work is dizzying
Umm... Is it just me, or is a bit of narration missing here and there? Weird.
Just don't show it when the kids next door are home
Was that even a real stained glass window? It looked plastic.
I noticed they kept all of the table lamps off to make it darker and gloomier than it had to be.
To fit the narrative.
Those tiled kitchen counter tops are awful. 🙄😕
