I actually met Ushka and her parents last month in Sendai while collecting stamps from the station! 😂 But I was too star-struck to ask anything about Sharla and their renovations 😭 But she was so friendly and even asked me about my vacation!! Honestly, Ushka rules 🙌
This house turned out like a fantasy! BEAUTIFUL! I could so imagine myself sinking into that bath with the window cracked open for some good ol' city background noise. So many good, thoughtful details. Great job, y'all!
I love that briniging Chris is like bringing 'I literally do this for a living travelling to various inns, houses, hotels, etc and bringing my professional bath reviewer- he would approve'
Seriously this is such a cat lady, elegant, relaxing, Japanese vibe. I love it so much! You guys should have your own interior design company lol. Both inns have such a different feel and you both knocked them out of the park.
Beautiful job! Suggestion: perhaps put a tray next to the bathroom sink so people aren't too frustrated at their toothbrush or mascara falling through the slats.
So awesome to see the house tour - we were Ushka’s friends who were the first to stay here! We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back one day! The neighbourhood is really great and soo quiet too. Lots of people saying hello and good morning when we were walking around which was lovely. Also can second that Gōtokuji Temple is amazing and the eki stanpu at Gōtokuji Station is the best one ever! Thank you for all your hard work ❤
Hi sorry to bother you with a stupid question but I'm really curious, did you type in one hand while trying to fish out your oreo with the other? If so then how long did it take to type and post this comment and how long to take out the oreo? I'm trying to picture it in my head but I just can't.
This is an amazing renovation. It applies Japan’s traditional Style with a modest modern transition. I can see the bathroom and kitchen being affected by this. For the kitchen, clean stainless steel and an induction(?) stove top to replace the older one. Modernization, but doesn’t obnoxiously eat away at the rest of the house. The Bathroom respects both as well. It removes the older (possibly asbestos tiles) with more zen like granite (I know it’s not real lol). But it balances the need for functionality but adds more zen-like appeal to the bathroom. The bath tap to represent a waterfall was the cherry on top. The living room. My god it’s just beautiful in itself. I swear I saw the tea set and thought a designer built it for the living room (it hikes the price). But you got it at a thrift store?? Absolutely baffling, as if it was meant to be. All in all, your house is in awe. Stunning at every corner. Again, baffled by the fact you will air B&B this beauty or rent it out idk. To be honest, I’d live here.
Absolutely gorgeous renovation!! You both knocked it out of the park. Real Estate Empire begins. Well done. Love the tub. Your abilities to insure the comfort and ease of guest's makes you both the dynamic duo. Bravo!!!
Hey Sharla, looks amazing. One trick for the dirty grout between the tiles. Believe it or not, plain white vinegar undiluted sprayed on the grout and let sit for 15-20 minutes will get that grime right out. Seriously, Clorox won’t work but vinegar will. I didn’t believe it until I tried it and it was epic. Just don’t mix the vinegar with the Clorox as I believe the fumes can be dangerous.
Awwww I love the cat in the bedroom! And the sink in the bathroom is so beautiful. Everything is puurrrfect. Amazing job, congratulations! Otsukaresama and good luck!!
I’m so excited to see the new renovation! I’ll be spending my wedding anniversary at NekoNeko this summer with my hubby and our two friends and we’re so excited!! Congratulations Sharla and Ushka on creating another fabulous place to stay!! 🥰💖🎉
OMG what a transformation!! Absolutely stunning! Love the low maintenance and stylish bathtub! Can’t wait to visit and stay here!! ❤️ 😻 All the cat goods and the horigotatsu!! Beautiful and so much light!! Amazing work by Hatano-san and his team!
I have been SO excited for this reveal!! You two should be incredibly proud of yourselves because like Chris, I too could not envision what you and Ushka saw as potential for this house at first! My mind has been BLOWN away and honestly, I feel like you could make a career solely out of this if you wanted due to how talented you both are! The subtle cat touches are PURRRFECT by the way!!
I totally agree. I did not see anything good about the house before and thought it was in bad condition. But this transformation is simply mind blowing. The interior design looks like something from a fancy magazine. Different materials and color choices blend together so beautifully. They truly have a talent for renovating. And amazing workers to pull all this off in only 2 months. Congratulations Sharla and Ushka! Hope you are as proud of yourself as we are 😊🥰🤗❤️
I love that our tour was actually a tour with Chris seeing it for the first time! It turned out so great, you guys. Awesome ideas and awesome reno team! ❤
My husband and I are renovating our bathroom in december. We're already booked in but now I'm seriously reconsidering my ideas after watching this! Fabulously done
Omg! You have immaculate taste! That bathroom!!! The green tub is gorgeous! That wooden detailed piece you found at auction!!! Just absolute perfection!!!!😍😍😍
It's beautiful, fantastic job! And it makes me really happy to see that you guys are taking these run down places that no one wants and giving them new life. It's a great way to provide something like this without taking a good home away from someone looking for one. You guys truly have an amazing talent for this and it always makes me really happy to hear how much you and Ushka enjoy working together. You can tell when it's something that was filled with excitement and joy. Make a little guidebook for the house that tells people about the little local touches you've added, like the chairs and the tiger carving. As a guest I'd be super interested in learning things like that about the house I'm staying in!
I see my fellow New Zealander, Ushka, is there, in spirit, at 11.40, as that red bag is from a New Zealand supermarket, called New World! And that house transformation is beautifully done!
You both did an amazing job with your design choices. The renovation team did fantastic work! Maybe you and Chris should buy and renovate a place of your own with a catio for the furbabies 😋. Lovely work! Congrats🎉
Absolutely incredible transformation. Chris is hilarious, and it was fun seeing his reactions. The kontatsu just sounds so extremely cozy. I've always wanted to experience one. The tub though is just stunning! I adore the color and the waterfall faucet!
Looks awesome 🤩 we had to laugh at the red New World supermarket shopping bag making a cameo in the background 👍 an everyday sight in New Zealand - not so common in japan 😎
Can't wait to have an opportunity to visit Japan and try to book with you guys. It looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing the process it was very interesting. Ushka is a really good guest in your channel, I hope we see her more in future videos!
Eeeee Sharla + Ushka this is GORGEOUS!! Your ability to work together as a team and come up with the perfect vibes of cozy/traditional and modern/fun is so inspiring! I also love that this is available for longer-term stays! I've been planning a Japan trip for a while and this is definitely going on my list of potential places to bunker down during that stay! (Though granted I hope it gets so booked up that you have guests for years to come! But maybe I'll get lucky when I reach out in the future!) Love these home reno project vids. :)
I’m so bummed I’m now just seeing this video. I watch all of yours and Chris’s videos (have for many years) and for what ever reason I never got notified of your new video. The house Reno looks amazing and the bathroom is beautiful. My only issue with tubs like that is cleaning around the sides and back ere moisture and dirt can just sit cause it’s not easy to get to. But that’s just me. Fantastic little place. I can’t wait for my wife and I to be able to travel to Japan and stay at both your Air B&B places.
Sharla needs to start a business of remodeling houses with a unique feel and an adorable price for use mortals, I know we can get behind renting more of these houses. Please do more Sharla
The house looks amazing! You did such a lovely job (well, the reno team did, but you guys chose the décor). My favourite bits, tiny details.. -The faucet in the tub. I love that, it’s so cool and looks amazing! -The glow in the dark aurora wallpaper. I’m a kid at heart and love, love, love that! -The hori-kotatsu. I love that it’s sunken allowing your feet to dangle/sit like in a chair, and that it folds away if you want to use the room for something else. -The painted scene on the bedroom doors - so pretty! -The chalkboard wall, bits of stationary, and “emma” boards. -The sleeping cat. Sweet little touches… Love that Chris wants to live there. Lol!
It turned out sooo beautiful and cute!!!! The bathroom and tub are stunning!!! I love the tiny bath rug with the ゆ bath symbol~♡ ♡ ♡ Also the waterfall spout!!! I love it so much!!! You and Ushka could totally be interior designers~ If I ever get the opportunity I would definitely stay here!! I'm glad I finally got to watch this video!!! I've been looking forward to it since it was uploaded and then I got sick for a month TT ^ TT.
Yeah! I was dying to see the end result! And it is amazing! Chilling area with a kotatsu is really stunning, but the bathroom is an absolute masterpiece. I mean the tab visually reminds of an onsen and the aroma of the hinoki wood on the walls adds up to it. There's so much more to complement on... the front of nt look, the aurora wallpaper, the deck. Wow!
Sharla this is AMAZING! You and Ushka should be so proud of such a transformation! I'm like Chris and couldn't quite imagine how it could be turned around but daaaamn! You done good! 10/10. Gotokuji was a firm favourite of mine too. Really loved just wandering the streets near the temple.
Hey, weird question, but when do the Japanese no longer consider the house as a construction site (where they wear their shoes), and a home where they must remove their shoes?
Finally!! I love it especially the bathroom!! I like how you keep the old elements as much as possible. I mean, the layout of the old house was good already, it just needs a little brush up to brighten it up. I like how the house turns out. good job!
So happy your renovation is complete! It was so lovely meeting you and Ushka when I stayed at Pippin's Inn back in February. I still appreciate the Mofusand snacks and I look forward to staying at one of your places again when I come back 😻
Honestly you’re one of the reason why i want to visit Japan. I love how you started off collecting Pokémon plushies in your room to now being co owner to two neku houses. I’m so proud of you. I’m also grateful to have followed you this far in the journey. Can’t to wait to see you again in the uk 🇬🇧
The renovations are so stunning! You both have such a wonderful flair for renovating! The house is cozy and inviting! I love the table in the livingroom! You brought in so many traditional pieces and kept the place looking a bit modern mixed in with it! As a cat lover with two of my own, the little touches are just right! ❤❤❤
Absolutely EPIC. You and Ushka (and of course your reno team!) are insanely talented at design, with function and artistry merged along with unforgettable details. It is stunning. Blown away! Congratulations! 😍
Stunning! Absolutely stunning!! You both did an amazing job with the interior design and it created such an open space that feels warm and inviting! Will you guys be doing a video of breaking down the costs from the renovation?
Awesome job on that renovation! Love the area with the sink in the bathroom, looks super stylish. All together I think the mix of modern and traditional works very well, you struck the perfect balance.
Awestruck after remembering the first video. You have done such a classy job. I'd love to stay there. I like your first house but this is my vibe 10/10. The glasses I got are the Ottoto Gold Round Glasses from your recommended video prior. Actually I got a second pair. I love it. Chris is great support for you; how sweet !!! Take care ❤
Wow yall really did amazing on this, that house is super cool. I'm with Chris, I don't know how people walk into a space and visualize the possibilities. My house is like barren by comparison.
The transformation is unbelievable! Amazing work!! Such a wonderful place to stay while visiting Tokyo. So nice and cozy. I can imagine how at home we'd feel like after a long day out and about, and start fighting each other for the bath. I'd love to spend hours in it everyday!!!
This was so cute. And the house looks fantastic. And you kept the spirit of the home, well done! It's warm, inviting, attractive, AND livable. *leaves a tiny ceramic 4-tailed fox in the corner of your closet as a blessing*
You, Ushka and the team, did such a beautiful job bringing this house back to life! I’m sure the house is happy to breathe a breath of fresh air too! 😊
I'm totally like Chris. I couldn't imagine what you saw. Seeing your vision in action, is amazing ! One of the most beautiful transformation I've ever seen.
Looks soo good. Love that you kept and added many Japanese items and design features. Definitely the things you want when you visit a foreign country ❤
Ladies this is incredible!!! The hard work and effort you’ve put into this has totally paid off and I love that you’ve thought of every wee detail. It’s beautiful and you guys should be so proud 😍
This was a fun journey to follow along on. Soon you are going to have a collection of Airbnb! Renovation videos are probably one of my favourite to watch.
Sharla, you and Ushka did an amazing job with the reno ❤ I absolutely love the traditional vibe, the wooden auction piece with the tiger and the whole washroom/bathroom area 😊🎉 well done!!
Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer…..great episode today thanks….how beautiful the gardens are looking, all the stone steps and table perfectly blend in and the tiling so far is looking fab. Sad to hear about your birds but new life in the shape of Obi!! 😮 you guys don’t do things by half’s! I hope he’s settled down already. Looking forward to seeing your Iceland vlog when it’s released. See you Sunday. Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
So amazing. You and Ushka really have an eye for design. Like Chris, I couldn't even imagine how to fix up that nightmare. Now I wish I could go stay, it's very inviting.
A genuinely insane transformation.
I’m going to steal the bathtub of the gods and take it back to my studio 😋
At least bring it back to our apartment lol
@@sharlainjapan have you done a flat tour yet?
Don't forget the TV...
14 days cycling renovated Chris as well
No. No you will not, sir. :)
I actually met Ushka and her parents last month in Sendai while collecting stamps from the station! 😂 But I was too star-struck to ask anything about Sharla and their renovations 😭 But she was so friendly and even asked me about my vacation!! Honestly, Ushka rules 🙌
it was so lovely to meet you! Hope you found lots of stamps ❤
Great work ladies! Turned out fantastic 💥🔨 100/10!
Thanks so much Anton!!! For all your advice and inspiration🥳 Can’t wait to give you a tour!
They still call it the "Anton-cross" in the kitchen area. :)
Should be trademarked😆
So excited to show you the finished house 😀
I used to follow your channel, right from the very beginning.
Wondering why you block (nice) comments on your page🤔
The pride in Chris' voice and his noticing the little details - the kind of partner you want, one who supports and uplifts your dreams! :)
Chris cracks me up as he’s so British about everything!
The house in gorgeous - you both did an amazing job
He wanted to steal the TV, but was really polite about it.
@@helen-marie3562 yes I know that, I just think it’s funny in contrast to Sharla that’s all
Always complaining, a bit rude, but a guy you would want to drink a beer with 😄
you know what they say opposites attract 😂@@tightropewalkergirl6485
I really like how Chris is constantly able to make Sharla laugh. They really make a great couple!!
This house turned out like a fantasy! BEAUTIFUL! I could so imagine myself sinking into that bath with the window cracked open for some good ol' city background noise. So many good, thoughtful details. Great job, y'all!
I love that briniging Chris is like bringing 'I literally do this for a living travelling to various inns, houses, hotels, etc and bringing my professional bath reviewer- he would approve'
Unbelievable how they managed to save the bathroom 😍 it looked like all hope was lost lol
Ikr😅
Seriously this is such a cat lady, elegant, relaxing, Japanese vibe. I love it so much! You guys should have your own interior design company lol. Both inns have such a different feel and you both knocked them out of the park.
Beautiful job! Suggestion: perhaps put a tray next to the bathroom sink so people aren't too frustrated at their toothbrush or mascara falling through the slats.
Was thinking the exact same thing!
Same!
😂 me too
Same thought. Glad I wasn't the only one worried that my makeup was gonna fall through.
Edit: why is my auto-correct constantly sabotaging me?
So awesome to see the house tour - we were Ushka’s friends who were the first to stay here! We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back one day! The neighbourhood is really great and soo quiet too. Lots of people saying hello and good morning when we were walking around which was lovely.
Also can second that Gōtokuji Temple is amazing and the eki stanpu at Gōtokuji Station is the best one ever!
Thank you for all your hard work ❤
Thank you so much for staying, did you see your art on the blackboard? ❤❤
Awesome Sharla and Ushka's Extreme Makeover: Japan Edition ^.^
Hell yeah best time!
I would watch that.
I would also watch that! 😂
I appreciate that you really stand by brands you work with. You’ve consistently been working with that glasses company for quite some time!
I don't think I've ever said "ooooohhhh" out loud at a video but I did at that bathtub! Excellent choice. Everything looks wonderfull actually!
Its all the little details that makes the place! The doorhandle of the front door is just *chefs kiss*
I’m obsessed with the ceramic bathtub! The color is so perfect and it is a great alternative to the hinoki bath, still gives that bespoke feeling!
There's something oddly satisfying about these house renovation videos.
I clicked so fast on this that my Oreo cookie ended up submerged and I am forking it out of my milk with my fingers. lol 🇨🇦 goals.
HAHA I’m so sorry
Hi sorry to bother you with a stupid question but I'm really curious, did you type in one hand while trying to fish out your oreo with the other? If so then how long did it take to type and post this comment and how long to take out the oreo? I'm trying to picture it in my head but I just can't.
@maremare8769 lol I fished it out then typed hahahahha. Because it's my home girl Sharla's fault lol 😜
@@iSAYfml oh ok that makes more sense lol.
😂lmao
This is an amazing renovation. It applies Japan’s traditional Style with a modest modern transition. I can see the bathroom and kitchen being affected by this. For the kitchen, clean stainless steel and an induction(?) stove top to replace the older one. Modernization, but doesn’t obnoxiously eat away at the rest of the house.
The Bathroom respects both as well. It removes the older (possibly asbestos tiles) with more zen like granite (I know it’s not real lol). But it balances the need for functionality but adds more zen-like appeal to the bathroom. The bath tap to represent a waterfall was the cherry on top.
The living room. My god it’s just beautiful in itself. I swear I saw the tea set and thought a designer built it for the living room (it hikes the price). But you got it at a thrift store?? Absolutely baffling, as if it was meant to be.

The hidden pebbles. I can almost hear Natsuki saying "Ah cat toilet"! The house looks fantastic. Well done.
Absolutely gorgeous renovation!! You both knocked it out of the park. Real Estate Empire begins. Well done. Love the tub. Your abilities to insure the comfort and ease of guest's makes you both the dynamic duo. Bravo!!!
Thanks so much! 🥰🩷
Hey Sharla, looks amazing. One trick for the dirty grout between the tiles. Believe it or not, plain white vinegar undiluted sprayed on the grout and let sit for 15-20 minutes will get that grime right out. Seriously, Clorox won’t work but vinegar will. I didn’t believe it until I tried it and it was epic. Just don’t mix the vinegar with the Clorox as I believe the fumes can be dangerous.
Awesome, thanks! We'll try that when they get dirty again!
The vinegar works but it is still a lot of physical labor. Try using a scrubber attached to a drill. That's what I did makes the work faster.
I might try this with the shower tiles later.
It's possible that the outside grout isn't dirty, but just that colour. The grout used on my bathroom floor was grey. :-)
Awwww I love the cat in the bedroom! And the sink in the bathroom is so beautiful. Everything is puurrrfect. Amazing job, congratulations! Otsukaresama and good luck!!
I’m so excited to see the new renovation! I’ll be spending my wedding anniversary at NekoNeko this summer with my hubby and our two friends and we’re so excited!! Congratulations Sharla and Ushka on creating another fabulous place to stay!! 🥰💖🎉
Ahh hope you have the best time!! :D ❤
@@sharlainjapan Thank you! 🩷 Do you happen to still do meetups? We were thinking of doing some filming while hunting for Sailor Moon merch 😆
@@SailorVdizzlebe sure to read the travel guest journal. I got some great food recs from that little book when I was staying there. 🎉
@@stephanieok5365 I’ll be sure to do that thank you for the advice! 🩷

I love watching how people do up houses and what they think about when they plan out their living spaces. Great job Sharla!
This is one of the best renovations I’ve EVER seen. The wood/Kyoto vibes are so strong, it’s relaxing to even look at. Well done everyone! 🎉
I love that our tour was actually a tour with Chris seeing it for the first time! It turned out so great, you guys. Awesome ideas and awesome reno team! ❤
My husband and I are renovating our bathroom in december. We're already booked in but now I'm seriously reconsidering my ideas after watching this! Fabulously done
Omg! You have immaculate taste! That bathroom!!! The green tub is gorgeous! That wooden detailed piece you found at auction!!! Just absolute perfection!!!!😍😍😍
You couldn't ask for a better renovation. The house is very warm, welcoming and cozy.

IVE BEEN CHECKING YOUR PAGE EVERY DAY FOR THIS.
It looks perfect! So cosy and inviting. And I want that bath.
Also seeing the New Zealand New World bag made me smile. Hi from NZ
The house turned out amazing! It's been really fun following you through the renovation journey.
I see my fellow New Zealander, Ushka, is there, in spirit, at 11.40, as that red bag is from a New Zealand supermarket, called New World! And that house transformation is beautifully done!

Hehe I noticed that too!
Haha! Yes! Hello fellow kiwis!
Came looking for this comment! Representing New World 😊
You both did an amazing job with your design choices. The renovation team did fantastic work! Maybe you and Chris should buy and renovate a place of your own with a catio for the furbabies 😋. Lovely work! Congrats🎉

What a gorgeous transformation, you ,Ushka and your construction team have worked magic. It’s beautiful 🤩
Beautiful! Can't believe how you created such an amazingly serene place from how it was before. Japanese style is very soothing./3 cats!!
All I can say is Wow!! You and Ushka did an amazing job!
Looks awesome 🤩 we had to laugh at the red New World supermarket shopping bag making a cameo in the background 👍 an everyday sight in New Zealand - not so common in japan 😎
This is so inspiring. Love the new home and the renovations made 🤩🤩
Can't wait to have an opportunity to visit Japan and try to book with you guys. It looks amazing!! Thanks for sharing the process it was very interesting. Ushka is a really good guest in your channel, I hope we see her more in future videos!
Omg this house is absolutely beautiful! Guests are going to love this so much in person!! Excellent job❤
I loooove how you guys kept it as 和室 as possible. It adds sooo much to the atmosphere if one really likes Japanese style.
You two did amazing on the house. It looks 10 times bigger than it looked before. Also, I would live in that bath.
Wow, the house looks amazing now! Wow, my jaw is still down. Gorgeous space, anyone would be haapy stay there! Good job, ladies!!!
Eeeee Sharla + Ushka this is GORGEOUS!! Your ability to work together as a team and come up with the perfect vibes of cozy/traditional and modern/fun is so inspiring! I also love that this is available for longer-term stays! I've been planning a Japan trip for a while and this is definitely going on my list of potential places to bunker down during that stay! (Though granted I hope it gets so booked up that you have guests for years to come! But maybe I'll get lucky when I reach out in the future!)
Love these home reno project vids. :)
I’m so bummed I’m now just seeing this video. I watch all of yours and Chris’s videos (have for many years) and for what ever reason I never got notified of your new video.
The house Reno looks amazing and the bathroom is beautiful. My only issue with tubs like that is cleaning around the sides and back ere moisture and dirt can just sit cause it’s not easy to get to. But that’s just me. Fantastic little place. I can’t wait for my wife and I to be able to travel to Japan and stay at both your Air B&B places.
Get in losers, we're watching Sharmeleon!!!
I love this 😂
0:04 It's Wednesday. We wear pink yukatas.
You two have a real talent for renovating and design. If I ever visit Tokyo again I would love to stay there.
Sharla needs to start a business of remodeling houses with a unique feel and an adorable price for use mortals, I know we can get behind renting more of these houses. Please do more Sharla
The house looks amazing! You did such a lovely job (well, the reno team did, but you guys chose the décor).
My favourite bits, tiny details..
-The faucet in the tub. I love that, it’s so cool and looks amazing!
-The glow in the dark aurora wallpaper. I’m a kid at heart and love, love, love that!
-The hori-kotatsu. I love that it’s sunken allowing your feet to dangle/sit like in a chair, and that it folds away if you want to use the room for something else.
-The painted scene on the bedroom doors - so pretty!
-The chalkboard wall, bits of stationary, and “emma” boards.
-The sleeping cat.
Sweet little touches…
Love that Chris wants to live there. Lol!
Just watched this and I'm glad Chris seen what a fantastic place it is you have all worked hard well done sharla ❤❤❤

Proud of you guys. Green for a bathtub with all the wood is an awesome choice! matches the greenery too even.

You guys did an awesome job and seem to have the approval of Chris lol. Love the new glasses so cute.
that sink with the bamboo style faucet is my favorite thing inside the entire house besides the kitchen
LOOKS AMAZING !
y’all did an awesome job
Awesome job on that renovation! Love the area with the sink in the bathroom, looks super stylish. All together I think the mix of modern and traditional works very well, you struck the perfect balance.
Awestruck after remembering the first video. You have done such a classy job. I'd love to stay there. I like your first house but this is my vibe 10/10.
The glasses I got are the Ottoto Gold Round Glasses from your recommended video prior. Actually I got a second pair. I love it.
Chris is great support for you; how sweet !!!
Take care ❤
Oh my gosh the glow in the dark wallpaper is genius!!! So pretty ❤
It’s lovely, it looks very relaxing and much less blah than before and so modern. How cool to be able to turn your hand to renovation!
I love Sharla/Ushka home reno with Chris reveal. This is the content I want.
Wow yall really did amazing on this, that house is super cool.
I'm with Chris, I don't know how people walk into a space and visualize the possibilities. My house is like barren by comparison.
The transformation is unbelievable! Amazing work!! Such a wonderful place to stay while visiting Tokyo. So nice and cozy. I can imagine how at home we'd feel like after a long day out and about, and start fighting each other for the bath. I'd love to spend hours in it everyday!!!
This was so cute. And the house looks fantastic. And you kept the spirit of the home, well done!
It's warm, inviting, attractive, AND livable. *leaves a tiny ceramic 4-tailed fox in the corner of your closet as a blessing*
You, Ushka and the team, did such a beautiful job bringing this house back to life! I’m sure the house is happy to breathe a breath of fresh air too! 😊
Oh wow, it has that unique balance between style and homey. I can't wait to see the finished balcony.
I'm totally like Chris. I couldn't imagine what you saw. Seeing your vision in action, is amazing ! One of the most beautiful transformation I've ever seen.
Looks soo good. Love that you kept and added many Japanese items and design features. Definitely the things you want when you visit a foreign country ❤
Ladies this is incredible!!! The hard work and effort you’ve put into this has totally paid off and I love that you’ve thought of every wee detail. It’s beautiful and you guys should be so proud 😍
This was a fun journey to follow along on. Soon you are going to have a collection of Airbnb! Renovation videos are probably one of my favourite to watch.
almost screamed when i saw the glow in the dark aurora!! this places looks amazing. good job guys!
I'm like Chris-I can't go into a fixer-upper and imagine the potential. The house is SO gorgeous. You and Ushka did amazing!
House is amazing blend of traditional but with modern touches to brighten , comfy. Kudos to both and renovation team.
Sharla, you and Ushka did an amazing job with the reno ❤ I absolutely love the traditional vibe, the wooden auction piece with the tiger and the whole washroom/bathroom area 😊🎉 well done!!
Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer…..great episode today thanks….how beautiful the gardens are looking, all the stone steps and table perfectly blend in and the tiling so far is looking fab. Sad to hear about your birds but new life in the shape of Obi!! 😮 you guys don’t do things by half’s! I hope he’s settled down already. Looking forward to seeing your Iceland vlog when it’s released. See you Sunday. Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
Mistake?
So amazing. You and Ushka really have an eye for design. Like Chris, I couldn't even imagine how to fix up that nightmare. Now I wish I could go stay, it's very inviting.
