Chelsea Houska has reached a new level of success in her career, and as a result, she is now cashing in like never before.
But it seems some fans aren’t happy with the HGTV star’s latest foray into the pocket.
As you may have heard by now, Chelsea and her husband Cole DeBoer are hosting a new home renovation show — and it’s been more successful than they anticipated.
In fact, Down Home Fab has been renewed for a second season!
Today, Chelsea Teenage Mother The fan base is as loyal as ever, but he also has a brand new audience of HGTV viewers.
And folks, that’s the older demo, owning a house with a lot of income!
In other words, it would be foolish of Chelsea not to try and sell some worthless crap to these guys.
And that’s exactly what he did with things like the one pictured above.
What you’re looking at are candles from the Aubree Says Chelsea collection (named, of course, for Houska’s eldest daughter).
The candle is wrapped in a leather sleeve for a number of reasons, but the most surprising thing is that it costs $43.
Not surprisingly, many potential buyers balked at the price and then grilled Chelsea for charging $43 for something that was only there to burn.
“Overpriced af,” one Reddit user wrote, according to the British tabloid Sun.
“$43 for a candle??” asked another incredulous redditor.
“I don’t know if I can trust this … it’s not black,” joked a third.
This is a reference to Chelsea’s design choices, which some viewers have criticized as one-note.
Well, apart from the talk of arrogant people, Chelsea’s style is the most mocked at the moment.
“Black, gold, white, touches of wood, cowhide and horn in ALL projects. Too repetitive?” one person said during a new episode of Down Home Fab.
“I will ask for my money back. Mainly because of the wardrobe,” added another.
“Love the show .. know he loves black but I think this episode is too much,” the third chimed in.
Some went so far as to blast Chelsea as “cringe” and the draft as “terrible”.
“Everything is cheap and cringe,” wrote one viewer
“I’m no expert but is this bad? The white cabinets brighten up the kitchen and now it looks smaller and darker. The outside??? Wtf is that like unfinished wood?” Another critic complained, adding:
“The only semi-okay thing is the aluminum tub rack in the bathroom. I have no style and even I can see that it’s horrible.
You get the idea.
Chelsea and Cole now find out the hard way that the house reno game is not for the faint of heart.
But after all those years Teenage Mother trenches, we are sure they have developed impenetrably thick skin!
