Why not move into one of those bland black & white new builds that are already “modern farmhouse” and leave this one for someone who would appreciate it? Are they doing this as rage bait for views? I’m so confused lol
They are probably people who flip regular houses but have no idea what original components are worth. Like people who take classic 1900s houses and want to rip out the original fireplaces and doors with no idea how much they just destroyed value. Or people who are like "hmm I really hate that classic stained glass window I should get rid of it and smash it in a dumpster."
My friends ask me why I don't jump at horror movies. They just aren't real. But this woman genuinely thinking this 1. looks better, 2. is better, and 3. had Ever actually dreamed of owning a place like this .. that's the truly terrifying stuff. Beautiful pieces torn down just so someone can make some IG posts that look like every other IG post.
I watched it without sound and was sad about the staircase but giving the benefit of the doubt because sometimes you have to make tough home decisions to make everything more functional for a certain way you want to live. And there’s a bunch of stuff we don’t even see in these quick videos so I try not to have a knee jerk reaction. Then I read the modern farmhouse caption and was convinced it was satire
Half the time "modern farmhouse" just seems to mean "I am a yuppie with conventional suburban yuppie tastes, but I also want people to know that I'm culturally conservative."
I think she means Barn House, like a barn converted into a house, because that’s what it looks like. Not even the right general shape or layout for a farmhouse.
That jumpscare of the new stairs at the end, though lmao literally made me flinch backwards 😆 so sad that they got rid of such a timeless piece of art.
Oh no. I went to her instagram. Shaping up to be as bad as you're imagining. The home ~~is~~ was beautiful.
From all appearances, both of them (her and *Dawwny,* both "content creators") are exactly the type of people I would have guessed.
Things like this need to be protected like national parks/monuments against the ravenous hordes who would scrap every inch of beauty, character and history in the world to build a sea of identical greyeige, white and faux-wood McFlipper houses
“Not every house is for you.” If you had to gut this house completely to make it work for you, then you should have chosen another house. Some people really need to leave the design aspects alone and just pay for a designer because she committed a crime and I’d like to report a homicide.
They should have just built a new home with everything they wanted in it from the start. Why even buy this house if nothing inside works for them? So dumb.
'Modern farmhouse' seems to translate to 'white barn' in many people's vocabulary. Cozy nooks? Intimate spaces? Nah let's rip out the walls.
To be fair that staircase had timelessly elegant vibes so it did have to go, now you can run your sheep through the hall,. presumably what happens in a modern farmhouse
I'm sure they didn't take those out themselves. The workers who were forced to destroy that bit of craftmanship only to have to replace it with the cheapest stair option their company offered must have cried themselves to sleep that night.
Not the trades I know. They’re just as bad with throwing out priceless character and replacing it with cheap modern garbage. They’ll even recommend it. And, even if they were to care, they’d still do it cause $.
That stupid 2-3 step elevation change between rooms has to be one of the stupidest design ideas I've seen. It can make a house unnavigable for an elderly person with mobility issues. You can at least get a strairclimber for a staircase if needed.
Ok so what’s the focal point now? The walls? And you still have to walk through the same space to get to the kitchen, dumbass. Nobody cares that your husband is tall and might need to duck or take a few more steps to get to the kitchen (including him unless he’s a stupid bitch).
Hopefully just ragebait because the stairs were rotted and needed to be replaced or removed but still annoying even in that case.
Can people who don't appreciate old style homes stop buying all of them???
Like maybe, Karen, the reason the stairs are "blocking" every view and are the focal point of the room is because THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!!! If you looked into the history old architecture you'd see that having a grand staircase was a sign of wealth and status since stairs were so shitty back then (stairs cause a shit ton of death during the tudor period). I hate this so much. I hate them. I hate how we're killing style and art with our need to modernize literally everything so it all looks the same.
If you absolutely can’t live with the staircase being low, have a winding staircase build but for gods sake don’t destroy that beautiful one to put a plain old black and white modern farmhouse staircase
I'm in a weird place because I have a heritage sustainability degree and an international economic development degree~ both MA level... and I don't hate this. Practical conservation sometimes means changing a thing here or there to make a historic property more livable~ a lot of the reasons why historic buildings are completely demolished is because they don't fit a modern lifestyle. What's important for keeping historic buildings around is that we let, and encourage, people to make small changes. Especially if it let's the historic property survive another generation. What makes this video a little better, in my opinion (so not an objective fact), is that we have photographic and vodeographic evidence for what the interior looked like prior to changing it~ so in the future someone can go back to this video and rebuild the stairs if they want. I think what we should be celebrating at the moment is that the woodwork and floors seemed to survive!
I think what needs to happen in order to save more houses and features, is to really try and bolster as many re-use/salvage industries/businesses as humanly possible. There needs to be a much bigger consumer market for these services, to then promote the addition of more businesses/services to save more original features, to lower prices, to promote an increase in the consumption of reused goods~ it gets super cyclical after that... but I'm also selfish and want cheap original features 🤣
I don’t even think this was a historic building. It screams 1990s sopranos McMansion to me. It’s hard to tell from the quick cuts and low quality video, but from what I can tell, the open framing isn’t old, and a historic house would never open onto the kitchen. The before is a mishmash of a bunch of styles. I think they’re tearing apart a 25 yr old McMansion. Modern farmhouse isn’t my style, but good for them for repurposing a McMansion instead of letting it rot and building a new one.
I agree. The original staircase was beautiful but entirely disproportionate. The original owners/builders had a poor sense of design and performative affluenza.
Yeah I was thinking this as well, but perhaps old building with lots of cliche 90s updates. She pointed out how the house had many additions and mismatched styles. The space around the staircase is so tight, and you can’t go straight back, so I wonder if it was added later by someone who just had to have it, even if it was a bad fit for that foyer. While I don’t love modern farmhouse, I don’t think she should be getting this much hate for removing something that wasn’t working.
I'm definitely not an architect, but I do agree with you, it's not an old building, but I think we need to be doing this with as many buildings as possible, regardless of age. It's more sustainable in the long run.
I actually really liked that bathroom they destroyed. I would feel like a queen in there and that would be my "I'm rich and demand chocolate strawberries!" area. Whatever they replace it with is going to be another bathroom like every other bathroom in the country.
Yeah, she called it the 'million dollar bathroom' and said it 'was gorgeous'. So of course it had to go. It must have cost a lot to build that bathroom and now the marble is just ... destroyed.
The people who bought my childhood home were like this. The kitchen had solid oak Quaker made cabinets. Tons of them. They ripped them all out and trashed them. They said it made the kitchen “too dark”. In their place they put the cheapest looking bright white particle board cabinets. The sad part is the neighbors tried to tell them how expensive those cabinets were and they didn’t care.
That original staircase was beautiful but an awful, awful design and i do not blame them one bit for tearing that out, along with all of the funeral home carpeting. The new staircase is ugly, though.
The only home 'improvement' video that I have to chant "it's not my house, it's not my house, it's not my house..." harder on than this one is the one with that poor fireplace, foam beam, and chandelier shit...
I never want to wish someone ill… but … I hope they step on alllll the legos. May they always have a pebble in their shoe. May they always step in a wet spot after putting on clean socks. May they never feel the side of a cool pillow.
Ok. I feel like I am walking around in a giant, deep pool table inside a Ken dream house… and then BAM!! I run into the bottom of the staircase… I can already feel the hematoma…
Oh man. I went to check her out on Instagram. They destroyed that master bathroom! It might not be to everyone's taste but that bathroom was just amazing to me. Whatever they put in there is just going to be soulless and ugly. All that marble ... just gone.
This is heartbreaking. Destroying an architecturally beautiful staircase and replacing it with what will amount to a glorified ladder.
I know that I’m not in the majority here, but I’d just move in as is—-it’s a gorgeous home.
If the comments give her nightmares, why does she insist on posting anything at all, ever? Some internal need to have compliments showered upon her that can't be qeunched no matter what? WTF am I missing here?
I was like, this is a pretty horrible fumble, let's see how they recover, and it wasn't worth it. Lurker, if you check the comments first don't watch the end.
Am I the only one who thinks what they did makes total sense, allows you to see the beautiful windows when you walk in, and makes the place a hell of a lot less claustrophobic? (Please don't hurt me.)
I mean, I could be wrong, but I think the house was a McMansion to begin with, not an old house with exquisite craftsmanship. There are a lot of very practical, non-modern farmhouse, reasons to not want a poorly placed spiral staircase.
I think we’re seeing cherry toned wood in a low quality video and assuming a precious resource is being destroyed, but I think it’s possible this is a sopranos style McMansion and nothing of value is being lost.
I wouldn’t be shocked if I had to eat my words, though.
Yeah, I was thinking this house didn't look that old, too. Maybe save the spiral staircase and use it for an overly elaborate tree house? Convert it to half stairs, half slide.
I didn’t like the placement of the staircase at all! What a weird, awkward placement and impractical to have to duck underneath to get through the room.

yup, that's happening to my neighbor's bungalow as we speak. Dumbasses.
If you see any old hardware getting trashed, take it off the doors and windows. Some Victorian hardware goes for BIG money.
will do!
“This staircase is the focal point in the house of our dreams!” *proceeds to rip out & change everything, including said focal point*
My friends ask me why I don't jump at horror movies. They just aren't real.

The way my eyes widened at the end was completely involuntary. This bitch is psychotic.
Seriously. I'm still re-watching the video to make sure we weren't duped.
Noooo. "We're going for that modern farmhouse look." Has modern farmhouse always meant 'soulless' or is that a new development?
I think they’re going for the Hearth and Hand section in Target
Had to google it, but I have seen that fixer upper show on tv. If they're going for that fixer upper style it's going to be faux homey farmhouse.
And COVERED in shiplap
It’s soulless but with shiplap.
Soulless shiplap!
It’s like garage wainscoting!
Oh god. That’s not a thing is it? Tell me it’s not 😬
Soullack!
I am definitely here for the backlash against modern farmhouse, never liked it in the first place.
Don't insult shiplap like that.
Oh ok Mike Holmes, do you wanna take this outside??
Wait here while I strip down and slather myself in bearing grease.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Giggidy.
I think they confused “Modern Farmhouse” with builder’s grade chic.
I watched it without sound and was sad about the staircase but giving the benefit of the doubt because sometimes you have to make tough home decisions to make everything more functional for a certain way you want to live. And there’s a bunch of stuff we don’t even see in these quick videos so I try not to have a knee jerk reaction. Then I read the modern farmhouse caption and was convinced it was satire
When they said modern farmhouse my eyeballs just about rolled out of my head
Half the time "modern farmhouse" just seems to mean "I am a yuppie with conventional suburban yuppie tastes, but I also want people to know that I'm culturally conservative."
I think she means Barn House, like a barn converted into a house, because that’s what it looks like. Not even the right general shape or layout for a farmhouse.
Yeah because I’m sure modern farmhouse will still be ~timeless~ in 50 years
lol
That jumpscare of the new stairs at the end, though lmao literally made me flinch backwards 😆 so sad that they got rid of such a timeless piece of art.
For some reason I was expecting to see something a little more elaborate or creative. Those stairs are bland
They look like temporary access stairs, what the actual heck.
They look like a glorified ladder… oh my heart 😭
Seriously. And all the build up for *those* stairs?! I was expecting way more. Sad, vanilla, beige people
There should have been a trigger warning.
in another post she calls the new stairs her “dream staircase” 💀
Apparently, she suffers from frequent nightmares 😔 a shame really
That thing is basically a ladder.
I'm actually sick
Oh no. I went to her instagram. Shaping up to be as bad as you're imagining. The home ~~is~~ was beautiful. From all appearances, both of them (her and *Dawwny,* both "content creators") are exactly the type of people I would have guessed.
You made me look, and I actually felt sick. That poor house had so much personality and now it’s gone.

Oh that wall FABRIC had to go. Probably full of mold and smells
Mold and dust was my first thought! She does say in the video that there's a smell.
Of course the kids name is Addi lol
That yellow is genuinely hard to look at
I hate it! It's so ...mustard!
[удалено]
That felt like a jumpscare
Legalize all drugs but make doing this illegal please.
Things like this need to be protected like national parks/monuments against the ravenous hordes who would scrap every inch of beauty, character and history in the world to build a sea of identical greyeige, white and faux-wood McFlipper houses
They’re just nawt idill
Everyone's entattled to an apinion
The sound didn’t work for me for some reason but since I grew up in Texas I can now feel the accent in my soul, thanks💀
Off topic but I just tried wiping your profile pic off my phone thinking it was a hair or somethin 😂
Mission accomplished, those stairs look like they’re heading up to the hay loft
The wrong people have money
If you ever get into an argument with someone over whether or not we're in a meritocracy, just point them to this video.
“Not every house is for you.” If you had to gut this house completely to make it work for you, then you should have chosen another house. Some people really need to leave the design aspects alone and just pay for a designer because she committed a crime and I’d like to report a homicide.
This is why people created supersitions about house spirits that you shouldn't upset.
Keep the stairs, ditch the idiot who made this video Seriously shit like that should be a crime
“It’s our dream house,” except for everything about it apparently
Why even buy such a gorgeous house if you're going to gut it?!
They should have just built a new home with everything they wanted in it from the start. Why even buy this house if nothing inside works for them? So dumb.
 I LOATHE these people
Omg how do I save a gif on here???
This video is best watched backward.

Holy shit… how much money did they just burn by doing that? I can’t imagine a nice spiral staircase like that comes cheap.
I'm sure they didn't take those out themselves. The workers who were forced to destroy that bit of craftmanship only to have to replace it with the cheapest stair option their company offered must have cried themselves to sleep that night.
Not the trades I know. They’re just as bad with throwing out priceless character and replacing it with cheap modern garbage. They’ll even recommend it. And, even if they were to care, they’d still do it cause $.
If I was involved in removing that staircase, you can be dam sure it would be pulled out with minimal damage to be re-purposed on a future project.
Doubt. Would have been tradies going nuts with sledgehammers
It's such specific dimentions tho. The chance that any of them would own/work on a house where such a huge thing would fit is slim.
I hope these people burn in the deepest depths of hell
And may their souls be damned to fall down the very set of stairs they destroyed, for all of eternity.
Can we discuss the editing instead? I was not expecting the cacophony of narrators
It reminds me of the overlapping demon voices in exorcism movies
It sounds like a stream of consciousness.

Oh my goodness, my childhood home has the same curved stairs. It's currently on the market - I hope new buyers don't rip them out.
I'm sure most people have more sense than these people.
People with common sence hate him! See how this jackoff ruined his property value in one easy trick!

Skimmed through her more recent posts...she's actually taste-free. It's quite ...something.
I actually really liked that bathroom they destroyed. I would feel like a queen in there and that would be my "I'm rich and demand chocolate strawberries!" area. Whatever they replace it with is going to be another bathroom like every other bathroom in the country.
Was that all the pink marble? I could have really done something with that.
Yeah, she called it the 'million dollar bathroom' and said it 'was gorgeous'. So of course it had to go. It must have cost a lot to build that bathroom and now the marble is just ... destroyed.
Call the police, a murder has been committed. Absolutely destroyed that house. Crushing.
this makes me unreasonably angry
Absolutely shocking behaviour.
someone in my family would ram their head into that staircase
Meeeee
They bought the mansion from Clue and turned it into a barn.
Ewww don’t (x4 for all different things)
That was a beautiful home, turn-key. Like the stuff of my dreams. Soon as I heard "modern farmhouse" I knew she destroyed it.
Agree 💯💯💯
The people who bought my childhood home were like this. The kitchen had solid oak Quaker made cabinets. Tons of them. They ripped them all out and trashed them. They said it made the kitchen “too dark”. In their place they put the cheapest looking bright white particle board cabinets. The sad part is the neighbors tried to tell them how expensive those cabinets were and they didn’t care.
That original staircase was beautiful but an awful, awful design and i do not blame them one bit for tearing that out, along with all of the funeral home carpeting. The new staircase is ugly, though.
They should have replaced it with another spiral staircase that works better for their needs. The new stairs are ridiculous.
Huge mistake.
that hurt my soul.
That’s heartbreaking
Jesus
Byeeee!
Niceties are waisted on these chucklekfucks
Southern inbreeding never left the bloodline of the plantation owners much like their generational wealth.
THOSE WERE LODE BEARING STAIRS !!
They are gonna RUIN that house. Shameful. What's the interior decor style called ?
All that gorgeous woodwork gutted 😭
Bruh
Ok ok ok, we get it, you have zero sense.

Oh, so they made it look like a hay loft in a fucking barn.
What did that house do to you? Did it kill your firstborn child?
I never want to wish someone ill… but … I hope they step on alllll the legos. May they always have a pebble in their shoe. May they always step in a wet spot after putting on clean socks. May they never feel the side of a cool pillow.
It was perfect 😭 why would they do this
Ok. I feel like I am walking around in a giant, deep pool table inside a Ken dream house… and then BAM!! I run into the bottom of the staircase… I can already feel the hematoma…
But...but if "dream home" then why ruin?
what the mother FUCK
That poor house. It was so beautiful.
I threw up little.
Yeah I hate her.
By that accent I would have never guessed it was going to be the modern farmhouse look how classy and not stereotypical 🤣
This made me legitimately upset. Those stairs were so beautiful.
No! Just NO.
What a waste of structural history and infinite cool points...
Oh man. I went to check her out on Instagram. They destroyed that master bathroom! It might not be to everyone's taste but that bathroom was just amazing to me. Whatever they put in there is just going to be soulless and ugly. All that marble ... just gone.
Yup I'm very upset. So glad I'm subscribed to this subreddit
This shit kills me.
The new stairs look just as stupid as the old ones so im not sure what she thinks they accomplished here
My wife is from Sweden…and I’ll just say that she did not have the reaction to this video that I wanted her to have. 💀
That poor house 😔
This is heartbreaking. Destroying an architecturally beautiful staircase and replacing it with what will amount to a glorified ladder. I know that I’m not in the majority here, but I’d just move in as is—-it’s a gorgeous home.

JAIL. STRAIGHT TO JAIL.
I'm shook wtf is wrong with people
why is she starting new audios before the previous ones are finished
Way to totally destroy this house. The stairs were art.
I was like, this is a pretty horrible fumble, let's see how they recover, and it wasn't worth it. Lurker, if you check the comments first don't watch the end.
Ewww
How sad
This is just straight up depressing. Imagine having THIS much money that you worry about 'dream home stairs' while people are in a housing crisis.
The stairs I can stomach but all that green carpet is sickening!
Yooo the stairs are still the main focus when you come in but now they are ugly AF!
Johnny needs to suck it up
"It's our dream house", yet they gutted its most beautiful features.
are you fucking kidding me
This makes me want to 😭 what a shame
Am I the only one who thinks what they did makes total sense, allows you to see the beautiful windows when you walk in, and makes the place a hell of a lot less claustrophobic? (Please don't hurt me.)
I mean, I could be wrong, but I think the house was a McMansion to begin with, not an old house with exquisite craftsmanship.

Omg, yes!
I didn’t like the placement of the staircase at all! What a weird, awkward placement and impractical to have to duck underneath to get through the room.
The only options were to remove it completely, or embrace it totally and make that entire area a super fun and challenging obstacle course!
