Ugh. The waterfall island counter bothers me more than the barn doors. I feel like that type of counter is going to look dated in a few years. I kind of liked the before kitchen in the California house. The countertop was solid surface and the pantry beside the fridge went on forever. I would have scrubbed the cabinets, put on new hardware and called it good.

My husband and I watched this together and when the wife on that episode had the bathroom ripped out without consulting her husband, we both just looked at each other and were like 'oh, hell no'. It makes you wonder how much that guy has to put up with off camera. I didn't mind the beam to cover the pipe in the kitchen, but agree that it could have just been painted to blend in. I think they should have put either cabinets on both sides or the shelves on both sides. The shelves on the one side with the cabinets on the other looked unbalanced.
