I am the owner of this house now!! It’s a wonderful home in a beautiful estate. Watching this video, I am so very very glad that the previous owner said no to the cement rendering for outside. It would have completely ruined the vibe of this house. It was the character of this home that sold it for my husband and I. The designer did a great job with inside, with the exception of the wallpaper (that’s gone) but was very wrong with her choice for the outside. So thankful to the previous owner for sticking firm to her decision. Well done to the entire team though, the house is such a blessing to my family!!
I have so many questions! How old is the video? They kept saying how property prices were depressed but I thought Sydney prices were pretty much always rising. I agree with you about the rendering. Why try to completely change the character of the home. It was as if Cherie simply didn't like that style of architecture, despite that clearly being the style in that estate. And that wallpaper was a definite misstep. Who would want a plastered wall to look like cheap painted bricks. I can see why you took that down. How has the tile paint in the bathroom held up please? I've wondered if I could get away with that in my own bathroom or if it would peel off over time. It looked good in the video.
@@frolickinglions thank you for your comments, the tiled paint has held up really well. I’m not sure how old the video is but I believe our house is around 17/18 yrs old. So I gonna say approx maybe a few yrs ago.
The house is lovely and the choices you made we’re perfect
Doy you know the name of the white paint? I'd like to use the same color for my new house. Thanks! I love your house! And the outside absolutely yes!!!
@@frolickinglions this video must’ve be made during covid time when the market crash badly but if the owner would’ve hold the property now she would’ve sell it for a easy 1M. Wallpaper is a horrible look and don’t know what was she thinking and painting tiles it only last max 5 years and then it start peeling off if you gonna live there better replace them like I’ll do to my bathroom
I have an red brick house and everyone said " render it". I am so glad I didn't because now you can tell it is a mid century home and not a cement box like everyone else in my street!
I love that the owner defended herself. Not a any over 5OK. Worked out!! #Awesomeness
That soundtrack is criminal
FYI, there's a Canadian company that has a proprietary method of staining brick. The stain actually permeates and becomes part of the brick. Sarah Richardson used them on one of her recent renos and they stained orange brick a charcoal colour.
Agree, I have painted with that or similar brick stain. It doesn't look like it was painted. It freshen up the house.
I know it well, but not sold in Australia unfortunately.
Cherie, I renovated my brick with Limewash! It came out great. Check it out! It’s not paint that will chip or retain moisture! It’s natural limestone Thai is ideal for brick. Cheaper option. I think you’ll love it
Paint the brick!!! If course it will look good ! Where did you get the idea it wouldn't look good?? Also, no one rips up tile anymore. That's what floating floors are for . End of the day , the house looked awesome , good job 👍👍
I don’t get the fondness for painting brick. Brick is one of the few elements of a house that rarely needs maintenance. Once you paint it, you’ve just given yourself a load more work and extra expense.
@@Dinki-Di there is stain for bricks and you only have to do it once and the color doesn't change, doesn't peel or anything like that. It stays and doesn't look like it has been painted. It is awesome!
Sometimes painting brick does not end well. I’ve seen a lot of very bad examples of painted brick that definitely balance out the good examples.
I'm glad she didn't cement render the whole house. The brick she has is great.
I thought the same though.
Exactly! Nice red brick is so expensive too.
Wow so interesting to see Australian houses! Greetings from Germany.
Und du auch! Greetings from Sydney ☺️
Wow! You got rid of olive trees in blazing hot Australia?! I can’t take this show seriously
Please reduce the music interference. It makes it hard to hear what she has to say. Thanks for the video.
oh my the music! the house is beautiful in the end... have you ever seen brick siding whitewashed? It can be beautiful!
I love that renovators come up with these wildly expensive plans but when their wings are clipped they find that they can do just as well without trashing all the original fixings. Why not start there to begin with? ‘Let’s trash the entire kitchen’ no? ‘Let’s paint and replace hardware’. Same result, less money spent.
This bit. I was thinking of trashing the kitchen before quarantine, but my BFF said "What? No! Update the appliances, get convenience hardware, get knobs and pulls and update the counters". $3000 USD vs $20000 USD.
I guess when thinking about a resale, decorating choices can be about a statistical likelihood that the decor or the façade will attract a bigger proportion of the available clients. On the other hand, I have seen an incredible number of “what were they thinking?!” so-called improvements designed to appeal to certain trends. painting brick can either go very nicely or it can go very badly, for example. I’m really starting to appreciate going with the flow of the architecture of the original structure. I love the challenge of trying to create “timeless“ out of “dated.''
Corner allotment is twice as much street appeal and it didn't need to be rendered since the sharp colour scheme actually complimented the brick. Nice !
First, I think having a corner lot is a plus - only neighbors on one side & it can make the yard feel larger. So, I don't understand why Cherie Barber claimed that was a negative?? Also, I think painting the brick white would have been a great fix for far less money then the cement rendering!! And it would have looked sharp & contemporary contrasted against the black roof! Also, what about putting in a green lawn that would make a huge difference!!! Looked nice in the end - but I don't think this renovator is the best.
Agree. Corner lot is a plus as you have the feeling of space around 3 sides.
Agreed. The fact that she suggested spending 20k rendering the exterior instead of automatically budgeting in 5/6k putting in stone countertops in the kitchen is ridiculous! And that cheap brick wallpaper😑
That is a green lawn - water restrictions 🙂
My house is on a corner lot and I also think it's a plus. I don't understand why Cherie thinks a corner lot is a negative.
We wanted to save money on watering the area between the road and the sidewalk so we used cobble stones in the strip. It looks very nice and neat. Some localities might not allow homeowners to use stone, but they should.
I’ve lived on a corner lot for a decade and it’s the worst spot to be, we’re building elsewhere next year and I’ll never be on a corner again. Having a backyard exposed to the street has been nothing but trouble
So glad she didn't take your advice about the bricks or the fence. Both are stunning design, timeless.
"you can paint brick but it doesn't look good" ... said no Joanna Gaines fan EVER!!!!...
Even Joanna Gaines knows that you shouldn’t always paint the brick, because sometimes she lime washes it. It depends on the house.
Amazing transformation! I love that so much ended up repurposed and with more cosmetic treatments. Very good choices.
I watched a lot of renovation shows for a long time. Cherrie is very organised but very strict like a mean mom 🤪
You, so far are one of the best flipping/ renovations channels that i have found and of course i do have to say that i haven't looked very much just yet but i will definitely be looking at your channel more. Thank you so much for the experience, knowledge and education advice.
Painted brick is fine and less expensive. Some updated landscaping, even simply done makes a difference.
Welcome back...and as always great job!
My neighbors totally renovated the inside and outside of their home to sell it apon getting professional advice.
Only to have the new owners paint it the colour it was before the renovation and undo all the new landscape work.
It just looked like it did prior to the renovation lol.
Such a huge waste of time, effort & money.
Lost In Oz Awe!
Your videos are always a joy to watch.
Great episode Cherie as always! x
This was a fantastic and informative video! Keep these coming!
Cherie & gang, thank you. Love your shows
The music is too loud & why have it anyway?
Also, paint the brick if you don't like it. People do it all the time.
I can’t believe the designer said brick doesn’t look good painted🤣. Good on the owner for sticking to her guns. Let the new owners render the exterior if they want to. She needs to focus on profit!
And I’m surprised that they started their work without having a few realtors give their advice about resale price.
Thanks for the upload, excellent job
"No, like it's not going to get done!" If you're going to cancel the professional property cleaners, YOU have to do the cleaning 🙄
Christine S Ridiculous to cancel the $300 cleaning crew when your budget was 50 k. Makes no sense
“Painted brick is ugly” *put up painted brick wallpaper 😂 what? Project came out nice in the end though!
I do not agree with painting the floor tiles in the bathrooms. Too much moisture. It will start to peel. For 50k, there’s no reason that the floor tiles couldn’t have been replaced.
Exactly!!
It will be sold by then.. It's new owners problem
I hope Louise is grateful for the amount of guidance, help, and masterful design advice. She would have been in a deep hole, otherwise.
Great video Cherie
Love the renovation. Funny how I keep hearing the words "declining market" being thrown around.
"It's never good to be me too" -you got that right
Black oxide can be painted onto the brick to stain it darker and it won't be little become part of the brick you won't have to paint it on Main saying it
really great work..... elegant with modern
So right about the cement render the roof spray and the vertical blinds
‘That’s quite a big drop.’ For you maybe, but she has a budget and it’s your job to work with it. Besides, look at all the ways to cut costs when you were left with less money!
What an improvement, well done
I have an entire 1960s home to renovate while living in it and with a plan to subdivide the backyard and build 2 courtyard sized homes on it. Would appreciate a few tips Cherie on planning please 💡
This had me on the edge of my seat! Glad it worked out so well
Your a character. You have such a good personality and very organised and hard working. Would love to meet you in person one day
I’ve been an agent in the US for 20 years. I can assure you that it’s not about the agent’s opinion but sold or under contract comparable homes. Renovating will definitely have more appeal to buyers so the house will sell faster. In the US is not about the renovation entirely but it’s about square footage. So you can have very expensive upgrades and you won’t get your money back. About the renovation itself. To me the black roof was totally awful. It’s an eyesore plus I feel for the owners with their utility bills. Painting brick looks great but it would also be an eyesore in that particular neighborhood. Also, home prices are determined by an appraiser and agents have no control whatsoever. Anything above appraisal has to be paid out of pocket by the buyers.
Enjoyed the video. But the background music is just too loud to hear what is said.
Excellent outcome
I just painted my ugly kitchen ceramic tile floor with Rust Oleum Floor kit, Vanilla Milkshake color, it is gorgeous.
@Delicia Abrahams I am camera iliterate. However I consider that paint a miracle. It is still wonderful after 2 weeks.
THat is pretty blue tile in the bathroom, counters also are nice.
Well done!
A lot of knowledges i got from this video
Me encantó!!! Nueva suscriptora...que pena que no subtitules en español...seria un golazo!! Abrazo desde AR
Love the entire tiled floor! Please Oriental rugs!!!!
Love it thanks
Baaahahaha. She said not to paint the brick, because it wouldn't look very good, then she wallpapered a fake painted brick pattern on an inside wall. What the hell!!!
KATHRYN LETCHFORD exactly! I knew she wasn’t wasn’t real the minute she said that! 😅
KATHRYN LETCHFORD I agree with you as well, I honestly hate the faux brick wallpapers to me they scream cheap also I personally love paint brick and the main thing she stated was it looking different from all the other homes. I would have definitely spent the money and painted the brick white with the black trim n black roof n black window trim, it would have popped and most definitely look different from all the others in a great way. I think it would definitely look better than the red brick. One last thing isn’t it always a no brainer before a renovation that you look at all the comps in the area and especially the highest comp? I most definitely do. Otherwise good video to watch, I always feel you can learn something.
Love it but I barely could hear over the MUSIC!
Overall, I think the place looks much better than at first. However, as many have commented, that wallpaper is horrific. And I sure hope they disclosed to the buyers that the bathroom tiles have been painted! If I bought that place and in a couple years the paint started peeling off, I'd be furious. Also, I think they should have painted the outside brick. It would have made the house look so much better. And, they needed to spend some $ on landscaping. .... And whoever chose the music for this video needs to have a hearing test.
Excellent Cherie! You've come a long way since I met you 7 years ago 👍🏼☺️
Australia is such a different market to the US this was well done and good job… I would’ve liked to have had an indication of staging costs
I don’t really like the lady who owns this show she is pushy and I feel like she is trying to be an Australian Joanna Gaines and I don’t like the vibe from her
I too feel the same and why is she forcing her to sale!
Relax, it’s just a TV show😂
Cherie Barber has had a really successful TV renovating show in the US for years. She doesn’t have to try to be somebody else because she already has her own style! 10 days to do a property is money saved and profit earned!! It’s a small market in Australia and as she points out, you have enemies everywhere!
Jo and Chip Gaines are just different and use big budgets mostly.
If the brick is dated, it ALWAYS looks great painted. This designer doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
You apparently haven’t seen the incredibly ugly painted brick that I have seen. no, it does not always look good painted a different color. A lot depends on the style of the house, the color chosen, and whether they did a wash or a paint. Honestly, in some situations it is better to do an aged looking white wash, for example… Basically rubbing on/rubbing off a lighter and thinner paint so that you don’t lose the sense of having a brick wall. There’s a house in my neighborhood right now that painted the brick white and the trim black and it looks dreadful. It’s just the wrong thing for that house. I am not a big fan of brick, myself, but what they had before was a lot better than this. I would refuse to buy that house on the grounds that it would be too expensive to fix the screwed up paint job. On the other hand, there are few things that can update a ranch style house better than paint over an ugly brick. I was looking at a house in a nearby town that had pink brick. Almost Pepto-Bismol pink. After sitting in front of the house staring at it for 15 minutes or so, I could not come up with a single landscape in my head that would improve the situation. It had almost no visible windows, just a huge expense of Pepto-Bismol. Modern in the worst way. I would be tempted to paint it black just so it would disappear into the background.
@@bitrudder3792 Refusing to buy a home because of the bad paint color is ridiculous. Paint is the easiest thing to correct.
@@leslieludwick1321 - it depends on the dollar amount you’re spending on the house versus the dollar amount for fixing the problems at that house. If the numbers don’t add up, it’s not a good buy. What does it cost to remove the paint from the house if you don’t want a painted brick house? What is the result after you spend the money to do that? Are you willing to just eat that if you think it’s really ugly after the intervention? There are millions of houses in the world. No need to buy a potential headache.
@@bitrudder3792 You don’t seem to understand that paint is the easiest thing to fix it’s not like plumbing electrical heating etc. You don’t like it,
power wash it, paint over it, there many inexpensive ways to fix a bad paint job or a paint color you don’t like.
@@leslieludwick1321 I get your point, but it’s a balance. If the house is better with original brick or lime wash, the expense (and toxicity to the soil as strippers are applied and removed) to remove the paint and hopefully get a decent slate to work with is not worth it …unless there is something else about the house that is unattainable any other way.
we can renovate and resell it great 👍
New housing those small blocks you can’t even fit two cars in the driveway tho. Unless you widen the driveway.. don’t mind corner blocks doesn’t feel like it wedged in between people
It's like the modern version of the cream brick veneer in the 50s very classic
I just adore your ideas and tips Cherie. No music please hard to clearly hear what is said.
Well done! I wish I could have seen a demo of what it would have looked like if she spent the 75K. Beautiful, nonetheless.
That fact is she had to stay overnight to finish the trims and clean up.
Where are the family members or good friends?
Happy for her.
The money spent does not make sense. If it was a luxury area or supply was short than yes. Who would pay more when brand new homes going up nearby.
That's a fabulous looking home now...but $800.000+ for a home? WOW...home prices are certainly high there! I just sold MI/USA a rural, 5-acre ranch home (2,800 sq/ ft. nicely renovated) with 750 sq. ft art studio/mother on law home, in-ground pool with pool house and huge pole barn with blacksmith shop.... on gorgeous 2 1/2 acre garden of native plantings, 1/2 wood lot and dozens of majestic White Oak trees nestled up the wood for the best price of $180.000 US. I paid $120,000 for it 20 years ago and put into this more than $100.000. And this was in a SELLERS MARKET!!
@Olga Martin rural is cheap
Australia is expensive. I have a 2 bedroom apartment which was $550 000. If only everything could be like america in terms of property
Donna Allgaier-Lamberti unfortunately property in Australia, especially Sydney is one of the highest in the world, I think 5th highest, behind NY, London, Switzerland, Germany. My 1 b/r apartment, 5km from Sydney central is $1M. 😆
US & Aus property very different. Aus does not have property tax but have 1 off stamp duty. Allso this is within 5 k of Sydney.
You can concrete render the any ceramic tiles on the floor to rip them up just looks like polished concrete then it's such a ways spray everything else cabinetry tiles replace carpet with bamboo I think that this home is the new generation cream brick veneer I think doesn't look too bad and brick I don't like the thought of rendering it Things I Hate About is aluminium sliding windows Wunderlich double hung double glazed will go wonderful
I was amazed by tile paint tbh
I like the roof and would like to know what brand or material it is.
I'm glad that she didn't put the picket fence, that is old fashioned.
We want to see the new more modern California styles.
I had my investment house professionally spray paint the tiles and it was guaranteed and the paint started peeling after 12 months? It's not looking great.
Love your work. You are amazing!
How could I contact you to renovate together for my house, please?
Thanks
Very agresive bossy person though I do think she knows what she is doing
Terrible music. I have a problem with the high paced voice of the renovator. She gets things done, though. Wish they'd have painted the brick, and done something about the angled kitchen counter... anyway it sold, so they got what they wanted. Glad to learn a few things, so thanks for posting.
The host needs to renovate by ditching the red lip stick.
She looks fine. The show is about renovating.
what about the realtor's commissions? That usually takes quite a chunk out of that paper profit.
i subscribed so i can see all the mistakes u make as a renovation expert....the budget convo needs to be had at the very first meeting and only than u make suggestions to what should be done with few "fluid" suggestions to stretch the budget. brick never goes out of style-just paint it. I cant believe u used fake, cheap looking wallpaper-but didnt paint the outside. the realtors should have been shown the plans for reno before actually doing it and getting a price quote of possibilities before doing it. also, it is not a disastrous decision to move the time line by few days-instead of 10 lets say 14...seriously...who cares...no, its not costing u money cause she wasnt even sure what she is going to do with it....any way///great video, very pro made and i love watching other cultures renovating:)
These reality shows have a lot of staged conversations as if they're happening during filming, but they're just reenacted for the show to create a sense of drama and urgency.
My mother needs help repairing a home from the ground up ,the walls are ugly, needs electrical ,floor needs replacing .Can you help or know any programs that help for repairing?
nice modern look after all
I would have chosen to just clean the roof and spend the money towards whole house render,but that's just me I loooove white houses.
Literally in my neighbourhood 😂
@kellisue Harrington park nsw
39:56 the seller would know before she got that envelope as the agent is always up and back to get an agreement prior to sale
Can't watch with that loud annoying music. bye
The homes in Australia look like the homes in South Africa. Both exterior and interior.
Loooooove this show...subscribing in 3...2...1...🙌🏻
Understand your frustration but better than watching TV get more done under pressure
Which company did you use for staging or is that all her furniture?
Painting brick is a much better look than render. Render on a house built in a style when render was not in, stands out like the proverbial. If I liked a house but then found the roof tiles were spray painted and the bathroom tiles were painted with a 5 year warranty, I would think again. I dont want to have to retile in 5 years or redo the roof when the paint wears off. As for removing olive trees.... words fail me. I would have done the floating floors (young people love them) and I would have spent the rest of the money putting in a functional kitchen with drawers, not cupboards, an island possibly, and definitely would have done away with that ghastly sink in the middle of the bench/room. As well as retile the bathroom, painting tile is unethical unless you volunteer that information to potential buyers.
Word of the day: Yeah
How did the agent went back to work after drink lol
Why are there not more long format videos like this one?
Hey we are looking to renovate can we hire you we don’t know what to do as in how to find people we live in western Melbourne
Competing with new builds is crazy, but her house was once new build with little architectural details of value. It's all trends from specific decades, you are always fighting trends, fads, etc.
Painting brick? Painting tiles? How can one get a house sold and make a profit in Aussie desert.
Render all the tiles like polished concrete spray the wall tiles kitchen cabinets and benches and cut that ugly hexagon bench out and put some butcher block
Not everyone has the money to renovate, if they decided to sell. Like to down size.
I like what they've done to this beautiful house . Best time to is the Springtime.
A lot new housing estates these day look alike, some of the newer houses are very flimsy.
The some of older houses are more sturdier.
I am your fan, can you help mine in Sydney?
