Definitely would have dry walled over the niche in the living room wall. And painted the front door different color. Great job! Brown around stairs doesn’t match floor

after the reno, the kitchen still looks like it's done in the 90s

The hole in the living room wall should be covered because it makes no sense to put anything there, it will collect dust and be difficult to clean.

Since you were replacing all the cabinetry, I'm surprised you kept the angled peninsula. Nothing yells dated more than oblique angled walls

Agreed. If they went to all that trouble to rip out the entire kitchen, why not go ahead and move the sink over in front of windows and do something more interesting where the peninsula was.

Meh, the angled countertop isn’t so bad, BUT that house is huge and so is that kitchen. That’s not nearly enough cabinet space. They needed to go all the way to the ceiling, and needed a lot more of them.

Yeah, but would island = more money in the sell? This is flipping, after all. With flipping, you only do what you need to do for profit, and nothing more.

Several things: drywall over all niches, square off treys, add some sort of crown to the kitchen cabinets, remove/rework peninsula or at least lower it to counter height, remove limestone above the mantle or remove the arched part only, remove the column crown, take primary bath toilet room wall all the way up like you did the pantry, hardwood on stairs (or at least refinish the visible red stain that clashes now with the new floor downstairs). This one looks like you guys were in a major time crunch and bare bones budget. But definitely a big improvement! 😬

I would have spent the money you used to fix the light in the niche to just drywall over it. It’s such an awkward eyecatcher and distracts from the rest of the room.

I think they made great choices for a flip. A lot of these comments about design decisions are for a homeowner to make. The payoff for a flip isn’t there.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Most flips are not going to be huge floorplan remodels because of the expense. And they said early on in the video that moving walls and the like was not on the table for this house. No reason to nit pick over unnecessary expenses for a house they're not going to live in.

Before the makeover: "I hate the tray ceilings" After the makeover: "It's this great big room, you got the tray ceilings"😄 Love you guys

I expected much worse based on the comments, but this place is huge & so nice now! I’m glad y’all didn’t paint or demo the fireplace, I love Austin white stone.

I prefer the darker warmer floors verses the color you normally choose.

Man, I hate to say it but y'all are slippin

“It’s an implied column” Lincoln is so funny!!

That kitchen’s cabinet corner is a mistake, we are not in 2000’. You put new cabinets, moving fixtures is not that expensive. All these nooks should have been covered. They only collect dust. That bonus room upstairs? It calls for a bedroom with walk in closet = more money. And why the side color of the stairs is different than on the floor? I love your flips, but this one has a lot of flaws

This flip is my least favourite.

I'm hoping gray stops being "on trend." I've never been a fan so especially gray vanities and gray floor tiles is a no for me.

I feel like they cut so many corners to save money. Like why would you not update the stairs? The handrail is so dated. And the red wood clashes with the nice new floor. And keeping the fireplace? The fireplace should be the showstopper in that room. And instead my eyes gravitate towards that awkwardly shaped niche. They kept so many elements that made this house feel dated. This felt like such a bandaid renovation.

Master bedroom is giving budget dorm. Was hoping to see a more elevated, mature style that someone who would be living on the golf course has

This was enough for a flip! The new homeowners can do more if they want.

I can't believe you kept the weird shape kitchen sink and niche in the living room wall.... Different level cabinets on the kitchen wall... Why??? Staging on the bedroom was so sad....

its looks like your took it from 1999 to 2007.... not 2023.

Out of all the projects that I have seen y’all do this is by far one of my favorite projects. You kept it simple and it turned out great!

At 8:11, I think I would put plants up on the ledge in the bathroom. Preferably dangling ones like golden pothos or spider plants. I feel like it would add a nice green relaxing atmosphere to the bathroom.

I really like that you kept the local limestone, but I felt like the designs you chose kind of clash with it. It's super warm and you guys went with cooler whites and greys. I would have just tweaked the pallet to a warmer white, maybe more of griege carpets (and maybe carpet the stairs so the woods don't clash), and gone with a different color for the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms. Other than that, I think everything was freshened up beautifully for the next home owner. But you guys with your cool greys... I'll never understand it.

That fireplace is awful! Should have removed the stone on the upper part and left the gorgeous Austin stone on the bottom with a nice wood mantle. Also, I’d have put open shelves on either side of the kitchen window to cover how the quartz backsplash ends abruptly. I watch tons of flipping shows and can’t believe Austin prices for un-remodeled homes are almost as much as California! This house needed so much more updating to get rid of the 90’s! Agree with another comment about the reddish wood on the stairs. I’d have rather seen them painted than the outdated red color.

Do more with the landscape, like some sod front and back.

This was a good refresher for the house overall, to be able to get a good sale. The staging however did not match the classy feel of the house, Scandi + Beech interior design does not suit the house. Personally, I wouldn't have chosen grey cupboards due to the dark brown floors and stairs. All-in-all I don't doubt this house was a wise financial decision :D

Oof what a bunch of odd design choices, who would build a house like that? I’m sure it was too expensive to do but I really wish y’all would’ve filled in that weird shaped hole in the living room wall, replaced the carpet on the stairs with wood, updated the railings, and removed the peninsula in the kitchen. I think it looks much better than it did but it still feels slightly outdated.

I actually really like that arch fireplace glad y’all left it:) I’m sure all this is a lot of work and it shows, y’all did great!!! 🤩🤩

For that house to have been built in 1999, it has some really 80s to early 90s finishes. The designers definitely weren’t thinking ahead.

Why is there a short upper cabinet at the right side of the kitchen. And you should have taken out the wrought iron railing to upstairs. It screams dated.

I can’t wait I adore these videos ❤

I came here for the liquor decor comments lol I have definitely wanted that for myself.

Please, please, please tell your home stagers to spring for bed skirts to cover up those cheap, janky-looking, metal bed frames.

the trees outside of that thing is extremely gorgeous

This is such a grotesque house. There's no architectural value at all. You did a nice job with what you had. Someone with a Hummer will fall in love with it.

This reminds me so so so much of one of the houses i grew up in

This is the house you need if you have 5 or more kids. So much space.

The only thing I would have done different be square off the kitchen peninsula and make it only one level not bar hight, stucco the fireplace remove the window and take it up to the ceiling

Great makeover

Classic and gorgeous.

I love your channel, I live in a nursing home

The problem with these kind of flips is they look like flips! There are so many homes for sale in this area that are much nicer at the same size and price point, This looks like a bland generic flip. Those details that were missed are important even if they cost money.

What do you do with the still usable fixtures you remove from your properties--lighting fixtures, spigots, cabinetry, etc.?

OMG, I have the same cookie cutter house (1998 vibe - not same floorplan) that I want to refresh a bit (the bathrooms) and I'm so.. going to copy you guys. This looks fabulous. I was debating on chrome or bronze fixtures and now I know - Chrome it is..

A nice cove crown would look great with the new cabinets!!

I love it

The blue on the wall in the kid room is from cheap “bed in a bag” bedding. When I met my husband, he had that from his crappy bedding on the wall. The last room on your before your was marketed as a media room. Ppl put movie theater type seating. Overall I really like this flip and the finishes you picked. I’m really glad you kept the wainscoting . I would have only changed 2 things. 1. I would have squared the large arch at the kitchen (near fireplace) and I would have squared the peninsula or removed that part and chamois with an island.

Great renovation. I understand those 90-s houses are way too big for the modern living and you as flippers had to consider every penny, but I absolutely miss the storage- closets and cupboards((( On the other note, who do you think will be the buyer? It would be interesting to know more about the selling process, too.

Such a big house, obviously not cheap, but crookedly installed sockets...

Super high vaulted ceilings like in this house are a pain because the light fixtures and smoke alarms are so high up and are difficult to change out bulbs and batteries. I'd convert the highest area into a second master bedroom which would have spectacular windows in it. I don't like master bedrooms on the main floor because I like having windows open at night but I'd feel insecure because it'd be so easy for someone to crawl through them. Most people, I imagine, will remember Elizabeth Smart who was kidnapped. The kidnapper crawled through an open window (or unlocked door). No sense in taking extra chances. Wallpaper was already out of style in 1999. It's coming back in now.

You totally hit Lakeway people 😂. I see these colors all the time with new builders.

I would close the hole.

I wish the wall color was more warm toned to compliment the floors. The white is too bright and almost blue toned.

That IS a breakfast nook. The other " nook" is a niche. I don't think grey is fun or funky. It's just safe. The darker floor is way better than what you normally use. Oops, I saw crooked electrical plate by the sink.

Beautiful updates to this house! But, why is it that in over half of the houses that you all flip and stage, the bedding in the master is always crooked? Don't talk about being OCD and then have crooked bedding folks. C'mon.

lol guys, you can have a good size landing and a bonus room. That's normal. Looking forward to what you do here.

My favourite flipsters

I think that y'all should do a hidden room in one of your flips like a hidden play room for kids or a hidden gun room/ man cave for the man of the house or an hidden art/craft studio for the woman of the house.

Crown molding is out of style? I love it

I gotta say, without the numbers this starts to get a little meaningless for me. If you bought for a million and threw a million into it and sold for 2 million, that's not really a flip. It starts to get a little too HGTV
