Before and after: In New England, the 'Ugliest House in America' gets a makeover
"Hosted by Retta, HGTV's " Ugliest House in America" sees the comedian travel across the country to "tour properties nominated by their owners as the ugliest home around," per the show description. In the finale, HGTV designer Alison Victoria surprises the winners with a total home renovation."
"The bright orange and blue house- three stories high, built on stilts, and 3,344 square feet, per the show description - may have been deemed the ugliest in America by HGTV, but the view is gorgeous. It sits on 14 green acres, with panoramic views of the White Mountains. "Is there a significance to the colors?"Retta asked of the bright exterior. "At least you never get lost when you're driving up to it," Dylan quipped. The family said they had lived in the home for 10 months when they appeared on the show. As for the chaotic inside, Dylan said, "We definitely want to make it less circus-like.""
"There were green monkeys carved into the cabinets and birds carved into the staircase railing. The primary bedroom and bathroom ceiling was thatched. Parts of the interior were painted in blocks of yellow, orange, and blue. "I feel like I need to center myself," Retta said."
Retta hosted an HGTV series that tours homes nominated as the ugliest in America and awards renovations to winners. A Vershire, Vermont family of five won a $150,000 home makeover after their three-story, stilted, orange-and-blue house was deemed the ugliest. The property spans 14 acres with panoramic White Mountains views. Interior details included carved green monkeys, bird carvings on the staircase, a thatched primary ceiling, and rooms painted in bold color blocks. Designer Alison Victoria revealed the remodel in the finale, and the homeowners reacted emotionally to the transformation.
