Do Velho ao Novo: O Castelo

Wow! Wow! Wow! Absolutely stunning. Love the dark moodiness of this castle. That's kind of what a castle is supposed to be. I personally love all the natural woodwork. Like chip said it offends me when I see wood being painted. But the rooms that were painted are stunning. Joanna did a great job. My husband and I do a lot of this stuff so that looked like an awfully big task that they Rose to. Loved seeing each room with its own space and character. And that they saved so much warms my heart. Every time I go past a broken down home I want to go in it and save the woodwork that can't be replicated. Actually, I have done that Which thrilled me to no end. Please find another castle to do.

I knew this show; "Fixer Upper: The Castle" was going to be good, but now that I finished watching it..... I have to say it was amazing! The transformation was incredible to see unfold. Chip and Joanna are geniuses when it comes to their craft. I've been watching their shows for many many years and you can see how much they have grown, not only with their talent, but with their love for family. I was hooked when I first heard Joanna say to the homeowners, "Welcome Home". I truly felt the warmth and comfort of these two words. I can't wait for their next project.......the sky's the limit for these two.

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.

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.

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!!!
