Fixer Upper: The Castle

They absolutely do not belong on TV with chip and his stupid antics and embarrassing comments. This was a big mistake please get rid if them and bring back DIY much more educational and helpful. Same thing with her cooking show, she cannot cook any better than mother's across this nation. Why they think they are that interesting to watch is beyond me. For fixing up and okder home Restoration is my choice, for building and refurbishing a home Restoring Galveston is way better than these two clients chip and Joanna go home and make more babies and stay off tv leave that to professionals or better cooks and carpenters that really know what they are doing and make more sense, PLEASE!!!

I've wanted to see these two love birds again for so long I missed there old show. By far better then any other hgtv show 100% would recommend ten out of ten. Chip and Joannas chemistry as they try and redo this out standing beautiful caste is impeccable by far the best tv show of all time. I can not wait to see what they do next I'm so excited. I love seeing chips reaction to demo day every time he's like a crazy little child but I'm a really really good way. I love how even though chip and Joanna are married Joanna has to keep reminding chip not to break anything. By far the best show I've seen in a long long time would recommend.

The chatter is too much for me. Chip thinks he's funny - and he is not. Also, why was I treated to watching their child get a driving lesson? And cooking. No. Not what I wanted to see. Not what i wanted to spend my time on.

I watched most of the first episode and then had to skip to the last one. Just couldn't take the constant banter and side trips.

Enjoyed the history of the castle. Could have done without nondescript pink, or pink of any kind for a girl's bedroom. How totally stereotypical. When you compare it with the incredible shade of green in the boy's room, it's a total fail.

Also, on houses that old, the floors were carpeted, so they weren't finished in any color - dark or light. No point in doing it just to cover them up.

The old girl was a late bloomer! And to their credit - they did a BEAUTIFUL loving job of restoring this incredible dwelling that was built with love - and brought her into the 21st Century. She's now ready to be a lovely warm home to families for a hundred more years.

Original castle was so well lit up. The renovated one looked stunning from outside but hell darker on the inside. Dark walls, dark floors, just killed the space. Basement for any activity, was not a very good idea. Active living and/or working are not recommended below the ground. Low oxygen affects the mind and energy negatively. Very small windows and just walls all around was very discomforting. Could have been left as a tool room or store room. Card room was very dark, very disturbing. And guest room in basement was a literal sin! How can one think of having a guest stay in basement? I mean why anyone should be in basement? Overall I cannot even imagine living in there. I find the space depressing and energy dampening due to all the dark shades. Episodes were made okay. Could have been better.

I have to say that I was a bit underwhelmed by the finished Castle project. Trying to figure out why, the word that comes to mind is "disjointed". As a whole, the rooms just didn't "flow". I'd say that I didn't care for about half of the styling choices that were made.

The kitchen is gorgeous but it just doesn't feel as though it fits in and while I get the concept of a "butlers pantry", it's more like two separate side-by-side kitchens, each with an entirely different feel to them.

The master bedroom is completely underwhelming and the master bathroom unimaginative. The drawing room is a huge disappointment. Unattractive furnishings, lighting and paint color. And the card room? I wouldn't want to spend any time in it at all. So very dark and depressing. And that carpet. Ugh. The "boys" bedroom is another miss color and style wise, and why was the drawing of the architect hung in that room? Totally out of place.

I love about 95% of their home renovation projects but the end result of The Castle project was somewhat disappointing. If I were to buy it, I'd have to have some of the rooms re-done. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe Joanna was trying too hard to get it right and ignored her usually spot-on instincts?
