None of these homeowners actually made any sense when you get right down to it, but that's the point of the show, otherwise shows like this wouldn't be so popular. In fact, we need more shows like "Unsellables" and "Sell This House" that teach people how to clean up and stage their homes rather than "Property Brothers" that now routinely have budgets well over $50,000! Some people don't pay $50K for their first home, for pete's sake -- but in any event $5,000 is more than most people can afford for "getting the house ready for sale" too, let alone $50K to $100K. HGTV is trying for the millionaire/billionaire viewers, but they don't watch HGTV, LOL! This older show is more realistic about what most people's homes are actually like.

Sadly, the fact is that interesting lighting is 99.9% of the time going to discourage a buyer rather than encourage one. Interesting to some, ugly to others (I liked some of the lighting in this place, but some of it was awful). I always wish we could see where someone went and bought something after it got neutralized, and come back to find it super unique again and even funnier would be to see similar fixtures to what had to be swapped out to do the neutralizing.

Even their agent was telling them to neutralize and lighten the colors. I don’t understand how sellers don’t get this and just do what is necessary before they put the house on the market.

Doors, trims, stairs needs to be a light color still! Lots of buyers won’t buy because it’s too much headache and paint is not cheap to paint all of those things!

"How much paint would this take"? one visitor says. Not just how much paint, but how much work!

Makes me think all the “renter friendly” decorating ideas apply across the board- even if you dont have a Landlord to charge you for a change, you have your own equity to charge you to put it back when you sell or rent it out.

I have owned six properties, some rentals, BUT have never considered any of them my "forever home,." I make decorating choices with an eye toward eventually listing it or renting. A lot of time and money wasted on "Dracula the Drag-Queen" decor. At least the kitchen was fairly middle-of-the-road.

Now they really don't need to sell. The house is plenty big enough for this small family.

The music is execrable. Does nothing to enhance the point of the show.

Not sure but think the Bee Gees lived here and thought I saw John Travolta over in the corner singing Staying Alive. But it could have been the Bat Cave as there was a bat signal coming out. The question Sofie didn't ask was: "What were you thinking?" If they knew it was hideous and garish, why did they do it?

It was a dark house. It is a dark house. No wallpaper and bright colours fix the less windows.

I'm a 71 year old Woman and I loved the Dark Disco vibe! But, I can understand why it didn't sell. Those of us who like things a little different are a small population

The after looks livable. Before was hideous. The layout of the house is a killer. There are 4 levels, which is exhausting.

Sorry but the bed head in the main bedroom looked naff, like a failed crafty idea

I am as far from Goth as I could be, but I could live in that house. I ordinarily don't like black much either. But it feels cozy to me except for the ceiling lights. I would change those but otherwise, purple is my favorite color.

I love it b4 they changed it...

Why in the world did she not stop him?

Why did they still keep the louvered windows shut in daylight? No framed wallpaper here! I don't think they gave the cost of the reno--bet it was a lot. I wonder what Brits who were former fans of Unsellables program think about Canadian and American South homes?

He used a lot of imagination, and the house did not look cheap or childish. I liked it with the black and purple, but today's buyers continue to be oblivious to changes they can make themselves. The ones who make me want to slap them are the plastic housewives looking at million-dollar properties and whine "I really don't like that light fixture." Like a chandelier is a deal-breaker? How do these people get through an average day of Problem-solving.

People who like purple like it a LOT.

It’s a cool space just not generic enough to sell
