Charcoal trim or shutters? Tia Weston's viewers redesign her abandoned house
Her Sunday episode drew more than 640,000 views in its first day, and its comment section turned into a long list of suggestions for the next steps.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
My Abandoned House Looks SO Different Inside
Tia Weston's audience is not shy with advice. Her one upload of the week, "My Abandoned House Looks SO Different Inside," went up on Sunday as part of her series about turning a neglected house into a cozy home, and the comments read like a planning meeting.
The most popular idea skips the shutters altogether and paints the window trim charcoal. Close behind is insulation, but for quiet rather than warmth: viewers want the walls between the bedrooms, and between a bedroom and the kitchen, to keep sound out. Others propose borrowing strips of flooring from a closet to patch the bedroom where the chimney used to stand, a small awning over the back door, a darker stain for the deck, or a bookshelf niche where the chimney comes out. One viewer even counted up the four ideas the crowd agrees on most. Tia's father also gets attention, with several viewers glad he speaks up more in this series.
The episode carried most of the week, close to 770,000 views in three days, while the two before it in the series kept adding views at a gentler pace. The whole channel ran a little above its usual daily level, and about a thousand new subscribers came in.
Among DIY and home channels near her size, Tia sits in the middle for views gained this week. The Pethericks roughly doubled their usual daily pace, and Nathans Lawns And Gardens was busy too.

What viewers say
You could always paint the trim around the windows charcoal instead of doing shutters ❤

@lindabradley1054See it on YouTubeSo far I agree with the Tia hive mind on:
1. painting the trim charcoal
2. insulating between bedrooms and kitchen to reduce noise
3. grabbing flooring from the other bedroom closet to patch the other bedroom floor
4. putting an awning over the doors@PaulaWalla200See it on YouTube

Before shutters became mostly decorative, what was their main purpose?
Working shutters were closed against storms, sun and cold, and opened for light and ventilation.
