Brilliant. My new favourite TV show. Keep the 100k builds coming, it's so much more interesting on a tight budget than just throwing wads of cash at a luxury catalogue.
When we built our house--and it was a nice, custom one--I bought a lot of second hand or even brand new items for it from classified ads. We saved a lot and you'd never know the sources for the luxury things in the house--such as brand new marble flooring for the master bathroom that we bought from a person for $700 because he didn't have the money to install it. Our best find was a brand new $1600 Kohler triple bowl kitchen sink for $20 that we found at a garage sale. There are lots of ways to save money doing this.
Scrapping finds can really make a difference. People who don’t even try to find deals perplex me.
The mixture of the rustic staircase wall and the bright, multicolored, acrylic, shiny kitchen clash big time!
By themselves they're beautiful.
One color may have created a more cohesive design.
Just my opinion!
Everyone has their own taste.
Kudos to them for what they've accomplished!
Piers is so good. I've seen 5 or 6 episodes now and I've really enjoyed his suggestions.
I think the end result was darling. I’m a very old fashioned interior designer, with most of my clients having no budget constraints. I really enjoy seeing a fun interior that works for families with limited budgets that achieve HUGE/FUN results like this video. So sweet. Not my taste, however, a designers or architects responsibility is to direct our clients and let them make final decisions. I mya not, personally agree, but our clients have final choice. Suck a sweet home and video. Thank you for sharing!
They should have put the powder room (toilet and face bowl) downstairs and put the full bathroom upstairs with the bedrooms.i cant understand why they and the architects did not think of that.
Also, the counters should have been made of concrete. can't understand what those architects were thinking not telling them how fragile acrylic is. kitchen counters should have the toughest surfaces in the house next to floors.
I’m not sure but I hope they have enough room upstairs to put in a small shower after they live there for a bit.
The acrylic worked better than I thought on the cabinets, but the green is just too intense and the soft surface impractical for the countertops and island. that can be changed pretty readily if they decide to do so down the line. big kudos to both of them for their fortitude, design efforts and creativity. rope idea was pretty cool and the vertical tongue and groove is a nice feature. Great couple and I wish them well in their new home!
I was really shocked by the original plan that included a full bath on the ground floor and no bath upstairs. Even after modifications, I'd have ensured a full bath upstairs and let the downstairs bath remain unfinished until financially able to complete it. The house has a future on The Unsellables.
I'd certainly hate it for them being sick and having to run downstairs to the toilet 🚽
In a country house, a downstairs shower is more convenient because you bring in lots of dirt that you don't want to drag upstairs.
I love the way they describe a £170k house as 'Super low cost' - I remember watching this series when it was first aired, every house in the series cost more than £100k. It'd be funny if it wasn't so depressing.
From experience, the acrylic countertop will not age well. It will dull quickly and show every scratches and cut marks. Highly recommend to cover it up with tempered glass. Even better, replace it with a colourful stone.
I understand the budget constraints but, just in terms of personal taste, I don't like the kitchen acrylic at all !
The advantage is that in a few years, when the acrylic looks terrible, they'll have recovered from the build and saved enough to but something durable.
Meanwhile, they have a colorful fun kitchen. Much better than second hand cabinets with a poor paint job.
It seems to me those "architects" are more trouble than help - they're talking them into stupid things like that string bannister that don't meet code and have to be shored up at additional expense. It would seem they'd know the code in advance. I hate the acrylic too - for a low budget build, it seems like a huge expense for something that scratches easily and may look dated in 10 years or less.
Thinking outside the box and pushing your comfort zone are the things I enjoy about these guys! I cringe and then when it is finished, I think, that really worked!
They have no money and the architect recommends super expensive pmma instead of paint on MDF. Build the house and install some simple kitchen, you may make it fancy in 3 years. But of course, it must be an expensive side-by-side refrigerator now.
When I first saw this episode, I couldn’t believe how great the acrylic looked & what a great idea it was. I can’t wait to do something similar
Never plant bamboo right at the edge of wall, the root will soon destroy all foundation beyond repair.
Heidi & Steven need to take a bow for their creativity, open-mindedness, sheer determination, and hard work!
Y'all did a fantastic job with what was available. Your house is a piece of art (don't listen to the "beige" people). I loved your kitchen, the string art, the beautifully repurposed wood cladding, everything! I can't wait for a "revisit" show to see what new creative ideas y'all come up with. Kudos from the U.S.!
PS: I did feel so bad for Steven having to grind the concrete floor. So I have to ask, do y'all not have self-leveling concrete?
What a lovely couple!
I rebuilt my home by myself and a few temporary hires. It rained often but it never bothered me as I bought a massive blue tarp which I weighted down and which allowed me to work underneath during wet weather.Watching the forecast , I waited for three consecutive dry days before getting the roof on and tar papered.
For the size of the house space has been very efficiently used, bed rooms are quite spacious and the central living space feels larger than it actually is.
To many other builds in this series have very crammed bed rooms because they want onsuites or walk in wardrobes in every of them.
I should only have the family bathroom upstairs, and the hotwater tank, a sink and toilet downstairs.
Think they need to get the spacking up, put excess furniture in the storage and move in. It will save them the necessary money to finish the build, and just go at it. It's difficult, but by simplifying short term, and being resourceful in this way, they will be in better shape financially.
Would have saved the acrylic for the upper cabinet doors only, because it scratches.
LOVE IT...the kitchen is brilliant and alive...well done...!
The rope thing makes it look like one of those kids play areas. Maybe Piers was having a laugh!
I absolutely love the acrylic and all the bright colors!
This is my favourite episode
Heidi should be a designer of some sort. She is quick to grasp new design concepts & tweak it into a unique concept.
I'm with Steven, I wasn't comfortable with so many random colors in the kitchen. I thought it was going to look like a bad mod style from the 60's. But it actually suits that room. I like the idea of bent acrilic shelves.
I'm interested to see if they carried out the deck concept of the same level as the living area. But that requires another follow up season for this one ...
Not a fan of the acrylic as it scratches so easily. It would have looked better is she had stuck with just one colorway (e.g. different shades/intensities of green) or a two-tone combination. As it stands, it lacks cohesion and seems smaller than actual. Also, rustic and modern often work nicely, but that rustic cladding juxtaposed with the Crayola box kitchen is off-putting.
No one has a kitchen like this! Amen sister!
Such a beautiful family! 😁👍🏽💯🇯🇲😁
I really enjoy these programmes , but why is the music louder then the commentary?
Shinny acrylic is not my cup of tea. Nor is the bungee cord decor.
I mean, you can get custom cherry doors and iron railings, it's just going to be fifty times the cost.
Wow- would do anything to be able to live in such a beautiful landscape..going on to buy some lottery tickets.
Having to go all the way downstairs to go to the bathroom all the time would be a nightmare.
Nice house for about £120000 to £125000 (I guessing $130,000 to $135000 USD). While I do like the plastic rope stairwell web. The rest of the house is too like tooth fruity (life savor candy like colored for me). Especially the old cabinet make over. My self I like to mix old & modern together in the interior. MDF doesn't age well is is a bear to paint. ( tried it with some old kitchen cupboards in a remodel at our last house) My grandfather who was a cabinet maker would have bought a thin but good grade of plywood & made new doors possibly with a few Acrylic sheet see throughs on them. (Acrylic is more expensive than glass or polycarbonate in the USA) The exterior of the house looks rough with the & I am assuming exposed concrete block of panels perhaps glass reinforced panels vertically placed steel siding would have made it more refined ( they are cheap and seldom used residential housing materials here, usually used in commercial buildings) On a tight budget many people in the USA have cast their own concrete counter tops. Some with coloring for their sand to give it some color while others have acid eched ( sorry my spelling is wrong on last word) the tops. Surprisingly most of these amimatures get them to come out looking great (there are a lot of videos on this on You Tube here). It's a matter of taste so I am eating this house as a success, but ,personally, it's not to my idea of good art.
Extremely beautiful n spacious beautiful built.
Wonderful couple and a wonderful house! Well done
I might not pick the acrylic for myself. But, I think it does look good. I really loved this couple.
The one thing I didn't like at all was the rope thing by the stairs. But, it's not my house :)
Wow... Kudos
The music makes this unwatchable without having it turned down so low that you can't hear the narrator.
Only way to get around RUclips copyright rules. Otherwise it wouldn’t be posted at all.
Credit cards, multiple loans...a dangerous game...
Brilliant👌👍👍
If I have that space, I will make it more spacious. Bigger living room and bedrooms as well higher ceilings!
I would have painted the kitchen cabinets in the two colours from the banister string (yellow and blue). I hated the wood cladding inside the living room, it clashes with the playful kitchen.
I hated the kitchen, it clashes with the wood cladding :-)
They can always paint the wood to match the kitchen in a yellow paint
How else do you fund a building than with your own money ?
Architects are a weird breed of people.
Do they not realise that a loan is paid back by your wages ?
Although it’s not to my personal taste, I am happy that they didn’t create a white box and that they seem to be happy with their design choices.
However. One thing I can’t reconcile with is the string art stair case. It’s looks so cheap and nasty. Really, I hope they saved some of the reclaimed cladding and in the future make some sort of railing and spindles out of it to make that whole wall cohesive.
I’m also wondering how that acrylic bench top will weather. Did they put glass on top?
I understand the budget constraints but, just in terms of personal taste, I don't like the kitchen acrylic at all !
I think this is why the listed buildings are so expensive, so people like these don't get their hands on them and ruin them with bad taste and not enough money to do it the right way the first time.
Still better than some standard white IKEA kitchen
it sucks that families could buy a home for $35k in 1960 on 1 income and now it requires 2 incomes and the government raises your kids in schools.
LOVE IT
I must say I absolutely love that wooden panel wall and the concrete floors but I think she went way overboard with colours and with actual plastic coverings in the kitchen because she will have to be constantly wiping them down as they will soar every finger print and the spec of oil and it will get scratched and beaten up almost immediately
wowo near 20 miles from me like lot the ideas and highlands are most beautiful place in world for me
Was this site zoned as a duplex? I wonder how mom and dad played into into it? Keep the wife happy is my motto.
It's called 'a semi-detached' in the UK
Why is everyone putting this loud music on???? It’s so damn annoying!!!
Agree, half the time you can hardly hear the speech
Most of these shows are available on Tubi TV in the U.S. for free and the sound is a lot better....
I've just finished listening to NASA's talk about the new Mars rover. It's also got background music but you can easily hear the speech. What's wrong with these people
It’s to get round copyright
@@chrisparsonson420 - you get what you pay for.
the green.
the green.
she shouldve listened & gone with the green.
the way the island with the shelves, the wall & that beautiful waterfall edge was done was gorgeous. simple, unique, inexpensive yet still the RIGHT sort of eye catching.
perfect.
whatever the rest of that was was not.
i hope she loves it.
i do.
but not as much as i hope she fixes it.
honestly
before anyone moans about the sound of the music too loud, this was uploaded without being mixed. It seems to be off the master tape, when it goes to air the station can control the music channel and the two sound channels of the stereo mix for their own studio output guidelines. This cannot be done from the file to youtube,
Yeah you can, if you have the tools on your computer to do it.
One problem will this show the music is too loud in order to hear what the presenter is saying
Please tell the producer to check the audio voice overs, seems like they never get it right. Never.
Love the creativity of this build. Just very creative and beautiful. Architect’s ideas so in line with my own. Always thinking of alternative ways of achieving beautiful design on a small budget myself.
grinding concrete with a stupid paper nose and mouth cover. I dread to think what's entered his lungs. seem nice couple though
It's horrifying how many of these "DIY" type programs show homeowners and professionals working on hazardous projects without safety glasses, gloves, and masks.
The kitchen sink has no faucet?
They said they are still building and need another 1O000 pounds to spends
They could have done it for less if they had not followed what the fancy designers wanted. They could have the whole thing done and not had to worry about whether or not they were putting her parents home in jeopardy. All of the fancy stuff could have been done later.
Yes unfortunately most of these types of programmes turn into vehicles for the designers and their styles.
Sadly a lot of people live in the "must have it now" concept of living. I'd rather go without or wait and save up.
Jamie Shannon, so true. However, I think these people would have been happy sticking with their budget and using the Less expensive materials may were initially going to use except that the producers of this show pushed them into using more expensive materials on several different occasion's. I guess despite the name of the show, being frugal just doesn't make the ratings.
Are you SERIOUS with the stock music volume?
How much for the Solar Panels??
I wonder if he got an earful from the wife's parents when he forgot that floors don't have hills.
Great episode can't till it completely finished hopefully you revisit thank you for sharing..
Like an explosion in a paint factory! Yuk!
Which song (piano) starts at 17:50??
I absolutly hate the kitchen, sorry but is just something hideous to me,...
Unter der Treppe sollte man einen Stauraum einplanen!
Can't take the music during narration. Skipped to end to see result.
I'm sick of the youtube adds, disturbing the film😢😢😢
NO to the stairs in the living room ! living room heat goes straight up the stairs and your left sitting in the bottom third of the cold living room ... stairs should always be in the hall strange how Victorian era builders knew that and you with your computers DON'T
Acrylic cabinets look terrible. It makes the kitchen look kiddish.The dining area very plain. The wooden wall at the staircase, cheap. Home disaster is a good title for this video! I didn't even bother finish watching it.Glad they like it tho
@Taylor haha....Well I think I could have come up with something different then acrylic...but they are happy and that's what counts
@@midgie4410 even full pine cladding would be warmer and more elegant oh and cost effective
@@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES Yes....did you see that one comment about how it looked like a kindergarten classroom? Lol
@@HARDYSFISHINGADVENTURES pine cladding... boring 70's. Loved the hardwood.
They are at the end of their tether so I'll go see them and drill them about their budget....this guy is a George Clarke wannabe
Miss George
That kitchen 😂 those so-called designers r no help at all.
Why does the house have to be attached to the other one?
The UK
It’s a semi-detached house…a duplex in this case
Louder music please! I could almost hear the host.
why is the music track overpowering the voiceover so much???
12:19 to 15:18 Positively horrific.
23:45 to 27:45 How did that frontage get passed for planning?
30:13 Patronising comment
37:56 AWFUL
46:36 It wasn't Heidi's decision I think
53:29 Could you not have cleaned your boots?
That dawn music put me off watching these episodes.
Over loud music drowning out the commentary.....
i love the content but your sound guy (sound post production)is letting the show down.
Love it but music masks voices😡
She was right at became dated very fast. The kitchen is not good at all. I would have stuck with the white cabinets.
Fix the sound its rubbish.
while you are talking there should be no music. And you have done even worse- you have put music and the music is so loud that no-one could or would want to hear what you are talking quietly on the background.
Lovely couple but what spoiled children!
The house looks Worn out, Ugly and Pretentious. And those kitchen cabinets, Que Horror!!!
Horrible.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮
What a load a bad taste.
Yet another program where the music drowns out the narration from the presenter of the program why. Take a leaf out of restoration man teams book well presented low music good narration. Won't be watching any more of these 😔
stupid house
"Place where I am going to grow old." He's cheerful. Hahaha people who wear glasses like that are suicidal and homicidal.
The tearful daffodil morphometrically ski because open intraperitonally squeak to a onerous run. smoggy, organic signature
The music makes this unwatchable without having it turned down so low that you can't hear the narrator.
