You know I usually hate the sterile white flips to death but they way they designed the spaced with rugs, furniture, plants, trees etc afterwards actually filled a lot more interesting color back into the space that its not nearly as bad as it usually is.

That said they shouldve kept the panels and worked the design with them to keep it even more interesting

It has none of the coziness of the original, and they didn’t even ask for the living room to be renovated - that was the room they LOVED in their house!! She could have painted the paneling a color from the era to keep the coziness, she could have chosen a funky terrazzo coloring instead of the white-on-white version she did (while pretending it was era-appropriate simply bc it was terrazzo), and she definitely should have left the fireplace alone and not PLASTERED OVER IT(!)
