The first episode, right out of the gate, I'm wondering why this show exists. It must be solely to showcase rich, white people who have nothing better to spend money on then adding MORE space to their house, to clutter it up.
We walk into the backyard, because this is why the couple bought their home. They hate the house, love the yard. But then we walk into the house and there's crap EVERYWHERE. Laundry, paperwork, toys, just crap everywhere.
They're problem is NOT that they don't have room; they just don't like to clean house. Because they have two HUGE living rooms. Side-by-side HUGE living rooms. But their big sofa and dining room table are in one, and what looks like a random overflow of junk has filled up the other.
Their kitchen is the only area that needs real help. In a huge house, they have this teeny, tiny kitchen. So I can get behind redesign there. But the rest is just silly.
Then the husband is whining because his "office" is in the laundry/pantry room and he's "so mad" because he's on a call and all people can see is their stacked washer and dryer. Well, buddy, I have a solution for ya, CLOSE THE DOOR THAT'S THERE TO HIDE THOSE THINGS!
Then they navigate to their primary bedroom where they just have "no privacy." Poor babies have no retreat just for them. And yet there's a king size bed, as well as a super size twin/full Murphy bed at the end of that, for their kids to "crash in the middle of the night." WTF?!
So rather than redesigning the space they already clearly have, this new show runner adds in a NEW primary suite with a huge bathroom, closet etc. PLUS an office for the poor hubby, so he's not so embarrassed by his laundry.
Give me a break! I will give this one more episode but if the next one is as ridiculous as this, I won't watch anymore. Rather than taking $100,000 to add on to this house, this couple needed a therapist and a home organizing team. People to teach them that if they want private time with mommy and daddy, then kiddies have to stay in their own rooms. Then a whole team to buy them cabinets and shelves and organize the hell out of all that crap, and teach them how to put things back where they find them, then their house will be nice and neat.
They're all jumping up and down over the nice design this lady did for them, but let's be realistic, in a week there's gonna be laundry everywhere, toys everywhere and whatever else crap they had piled up everywhere. They didn't learn a damn thing except to put a band aid on a missing limb that clearly needs ER treatment.
