    As someone who lives in a place with a lot of beautiful victorian town houses I hate flippers, they see original stained glass, sash windows, wood carved fascia boards, elegant fire places and stunning hand made plaster work and rip it all out to be replaced with the cheapest plastic windows and plastic board, they'll paint everything white, then replace a nice garden with asphalt and fake grass, split it into flats and then just sell it for a extra 100,000 and therefore locals can not afford anywehere in the town.

      I totally agree, there's a lot of really charming craftsman homes where I live and people are ripping them up all the time, they're more and more rare every year. Right now the one across the street is getting gutted and the one two doors down was totally demolished so the owners could have a new build - the old build was in great condition, too. It makes me really sad, mine is the same age, but one of my family members let it go for a while so it's not in good condition. No one values classic things.

The stickers were the leaves and highest branches of the tree... it actually could have looked magical if you would sit in front of it on a cozy night! And they removed it :''')))) This is how I know this is rage content and not genuine DIY/decor/renovation advice or just aesthetics or whatever, because there AIN'T no way you don't recognize that. You don't have to have studied design or engineering, it screams in your face - especially that the bathroom door was covered in a wallpaper bouquet of plants too.

      I had personally removed as much of my bedroom's popcorn walls as I could. Like how another mentioned, popcorn ceilings and walls accumulate dust and can't be easily cleaned. If I remember right, their initial purpose was to provide insulation for sound and temperature, and was also a trend for some time. However, the cons outweigh the pros for having them, especially if you're someone who suffers from issues like asthma (me). Tldr: it looks ugly and can be very unhygienic, but did experience some popularity for a while and does have some architectural purpose.

Interior-wise, a Hobbit hole just looks like a very tidy cottage. Hobbits aren't like gremlins, they're not filthy mud-people, they're just tiny people who eat a lot. Their houses happen to be called "holes" because they're built into little hillsides, but Hobbits themselves are basically Irish-coded.

Circle doors, entryways, etc. Like that's it. If you wanna be dirtier that's gremlin/goblin-core or crow-core.

Like a beam of that size (looks at least 8"x8"x20'), that looks good enough to leave exposed, and with the correct color/finish, could easily be $1500 if not more. Not to mention the cost of strapping hundreds of pounds of wood to your ceiling so that it doesn't come crashing down on someone's head in 5 years.

      The thing is, if they were doing this do their house - I would say no one has the right to critique them taste wise. Someone wants a roofbeam but for any reason don’t want the real wood, it’s suppose to be purely aesthetic? Go off, do the foam one if u like it it’s your home. But if I went in, saw that and thought that it’s a house with a roof beam and then either found out or was told it’s just a foam for esthetics… man I’m walking off and not looking back. It’s unnecessary, unneeded and actually makes more work for new homeowners. The reason ppl buy “neutral” houses is that it’s the easiest to customize to u. If u want to make a house with character just leave the original character in! Fix the real issues for god sake.
      Again, if they would do it to their home, it would be fine. Do it. U like it u live in it, all good. But renovating something to their tastes, and asking bigger price for home that has fake purely aesthetic fixes is just scummy man… cos u know that in 99% of cases u would be putting more money in that house to change or fix some stuff after u buy it.

    Flippers don't fix the structural and important issues with a home, they just do some cute cosmetic changes and call it a day. The ONLY thing they care about is money. If they actually cared about this home, they wouldn't flip it. They'd update it and keep it as an Air BnB, a rental, or their own home. It's so frustrating when thousands of hardworking people can't afford to own a home and then we see stuff like this! That's why they're getting so harassed.

    Why did they paint a mural on a house flip? That’s a decision you let the person who is living in the home do… because it’s for them… especially if they’re an artist. Like, if you are going to make a blank space for people to project onto, actually make it a blank space?
    They are absolutely not doing any necessary maintenance. They’re just “updating the aesthetic” to get more money.

    For the beam, there's tons of ways to get around putting a whole heavy beam up there, including but not limited to hollowing out a beam, using a lighter type of wood and staining it, using veneer over ply, etc. There's so many other options that would look so much more convincing and would be structurally safer than foam.

      The outer hearth being raised up is not necessary, it's actually often not in many homes. I've lived in a couple homes where the inner and outer hearth were level with the floor. Whether that is fire code now, I don't know, that's just what I've lived in, and I've never had a house fire. As long as the outer hearth is expansive enough and is fire proof enough, that is minimum requirement. If fire code nowadays requires an elevated outer hearth then that just goes to show how these house flippers shouldn't be doing what they're doing (and I also don't, but I don't build houses).

Im sure a lot of artists don’t want something someone else painted (not be rude or anything) because they would probably want to have something they could paint on the wall and not someone else.

The practical and cheaper option is testing for and removing asbestos & lead, cleaning grout and replacing caulking and treating/removing any mold hazards. The things they replaced it with are basically death traps or just drawing attention to the issues in the home. By doing all the uneeded things they can bump up the price and tack on a higher price tag on the listing thats going to be much more expensive for the buyer on top of the house issues that may already be there they're going to have to fix

      As a fellow artist I completely agree, storage for art supplies and old artworks/sketchbooks would be so much more useful. Also, artists usually like to have art they aspire to or their own art in their studios and it differs so much person to person, I have no idea how they thought that having a canva looking mural was going to add to the value of the space....

You either feel guilty for covering it up cause it's precious wall space for storage or work (or cause it's just distracting if it's not your vibe) or it ends up getting worse with time because of paint splatters and stuff. Y'all, pretty art studios aren't realistic, it WILL get messy!

      The internet is very passionate about a lot of things, but I think most people would ignore someone's questionable personal taste if they were at least making an effort to make something better.
      Attaching a foam beam to a ceiling and hanging a light off it is stupid, but easily fixable. Having a very generic "mural" painted in an art room where any artist is likely to want to showcase their own work is, again, stupid but easily fixable. Ruining a fireplace to the extent that the new buyer will have to tear the whole thing out themselves and filling a swimming pool that just needed some repair with concrete... less so.
      Then there's the fact everything they've done was cosmetic so why exactly was this house so unsellable? A lot of the time properties like this sit abandoned because they have severe structural issues, electrical issues or other very expensive problems that the average buyer is just not going to want to deal with. I think that's what the internet is really so upset about - another pair of slumlords doing the barest minimum to turn a profit and leaving behind a huge, expensive (and likely undisclosed - always have your own inspections done when buying a home!) mess for the buyer to put right.

    The 70's Florida house is so cool. As someone who lives in New York, I absolutely love how people in Florida have these giant lanai things on their houses, the big open room with basically screens for walls, since it's never truly winter in Florida. It's awesome at night. Sadly, they did turn it into a parking lot with that giant concrete slab. But lanai aside, the house is cool in its own right. It seems like the house has more interesting shapes, like a big living room with a peak roof as opposed to just being a big boxed rectangle room.
    I do think it's really funny, in a cosmic sense, that they "flipped" this house into something that they'll probably sell to another house flipper who will undo much of what they did lmao.

    Decorative beams on the ceiling are an established thing that a lot of people install (and have done for ages). It's usually wood or plastic, but yeah, increasingly foam. No it is not in any way structural, and should not hold a light or any other load, other than some other small pieces of foam, and some paint. That said, you CAN cut a hole through the foam, and install a light into the ceiling, with the decorative cap on the foam beam, to give the impression that the light is installed on the beam (which if you think about it for even a second, proves that the beam is fake, since solid wood does not deliver electricity to chandeliers).

It is a concrete pool deck that has a screen around it. We call it a lanai. The only thing that’s maybe throwing people off is there is no pool because it was filled in with dirt, which is very strange. It must have got a crack in the foundation and was too expensive to fix and too dangerous to leave a giant empty hole so they filled it in.

If I recall, OP also mentioned that the house was purchased explicitly as an investment property. It was never going to be sold to an actual homebuyer. And I will be shocked if it doesn’t end up as a rental or an AirBnB. People are mad because this is symptomatic of the housing market now.
