Restored by the Fords, Season 1

watch this

Nicely done show with lovely design. However like most design and redesign these days everything is white. Pretty but not practical.

Its sad to see beautiful old homes turned into sterile, characterless abominations!

Such a wonderful replacement for the now ending 5 seasons of FixerUpper. Leanne actually has the chops and talent for this show. (I covet her wardrobe.) She has no design formula, each project is unique and the solutions are appropriate and creative for that particular building.

Love their show.

Energetic, unique, artistic, happy, thoughtful, appreciative, unusual, entertaining, one of a kind. Looking forward to another season.

I watched a show where everything was white. I would NOT want them remodeling my home. The home looked awful. Everything was MUTED by white everything. How do they consider being designers ? Dont care for their designs and dont understand how they have a show

Leanne + Steve are funny, talented + a great duo. Love the show + want MORE!!!! restored by the fords forever

This show makes me weep. Just finished the first two episodes of season two and decided to stop recording it after watching the Fords ruin a Craftsman and a Victorian home. Why remove gorgeous, vintage leaded glass windows? Why take a jackhammer to a beautiful tiled fireplace? Why knock down amazing archways? Why paint everything--including lovely woodwork--white? I have no problem with a contemporary aesthetic, but why force it onto vintage homes where it doesnt belong? If youre fortunate enough to have a period home with lots of character but cant appreciate how lucky you are, please do the world a favor. Sell your house, buy a ranch, and THEN invite Leanne Ford and her brother (who frankly, seems like hes stoned throughout the entire show) to slather it in flat white paint. Le sigh.

She may have good current style but Restore she does not. I watched 2 episodes where she destroyed original mid century details by painting them white. Painful to watch.
