    This "designer" and "expert dealer" show zero compassion when dealing with these people. Why even ask someone what their style is or what they like if you don't even listen to a thing they say. These people need some psychiatric help to find out WHY they hoard, not to just be bullied into selling all their possessions and into bad design.

Even there I don’t like a dark colour but I do need it dark. She also seems to make a lot of business going on which I don’t like. Designers need to take into consideration what the home owners tastes are.

    In the first one, the "designer" forced them. She didn't listen to anything they said they didn't like. Someone (a hoarder) dealing with depression shouldn't have to live in gray rooms. The rooms all look half the size as they did in white paint. It all looked very community college interior designer class project at the reveal. The painted shoes and rug at the end were insulting. Where is the first couple 10 years later? Is she living alone in her hoard with 12 cats?

    I only made it half way through the first "make-over" and I am disgusted with the arrogance of the sales guy, as well as the "interior designer" and even Amy's fiance. They all barked at her without an ounce of understanding for what she's going through. They all acted as if hoarding or shopping addiction is something you can just snap out of. Amy was so kind and graceful... unbelievably so. How would they feel if someone took all of their stuff, told them that it's not okay to have that much and then to make them stand and watch strangers going through their stuff and taking it away for peanuts of money. Poor Amy. I wish she becomes able and willing to reduce acquiring and holding on to stuff and continues to live happy and healthy. 💖

    The first house design was truly awful, the designer really didn’t listen to the brief and did what she wanted, it was a hotch potch of colour and design and everything fought everything else; I would have been absolutely miserable in that home. The second one was marginally better but again looked as though the designer had picked up random items from the curb side and painted them with whatever colour she had on hand. The feature (half) wall was too busy and the print was blurry, not relaxing at all. I feel this home owner will be less enthusiastic as time goes on and I think some of the items will find themselves back on the curb. Design is very personal but when you design for someone else you have to leave personal preferences behind and create something they would be happy living in, I don’t think she achieved that.

    When I married my husband, he was a collector. I was unaware of this but he had things stored at all of his friend homes and barns. When we moved to the country to a home with a ranch house and a pole barn he drove to all of his friends homes and retrieved his belongings. I was in shock because i had no idea of how much stuff he had. He had hid all of this from me. It only got worse. Over rhe next 20 years he continued to collect and often hid the items from me. He did not get better, he got worse....think twice about marrying this person....

    what i really don't like is, when the designer forces designs on people and colors, they do not enjoy. Imagine living in a home looking at colors and schemes that you do not enjoy. Maybe it is interesting to look at at first, because it is new, but if someone tells you, they like harmony in colors, cause harmony is something that is the thriving force behind their issue...maybe do not force "clushing colors" on them and walk over their wishes like the abusive husband did. It is the same thing: she is not heard. I hate that moment at 1:33:39

    I am appalled that Amy was bullied and belittled, by her partner who should be her support, and blamed and made the fool without any support. She needs a mental health supporter with her right through the process. Even the designer chose colours that are masculine, before looking at the dominant colours in the clothing hoard, none of which she was offered. This is a case of the sensational being prioritised over the individual health and wellbeing of the hoarder, in order to make "good" (read exploitative) television.

And there was never no one before hand asking how she felt or a professional along the journey with her to make sure she wasn't feeling some sort of way towards this. It must of cost so much depression and anxiety on this part . I understand they needed money for their wedding . Her fiance wasn't so supportive ... he seemed very blunt and naraassistic had all the say in what happened . You can tell he was by when he was asking 'do you want to get married or not '. And didn't seem to want any of her stuff or opinions on anything to do with the house... and he need his own " man cave" ?. This was all so wrong . They also made the house interior look horrendous .
