CHELSEA Houska and Cole DeBoer’s fans are livid after they charged a home design client $15, 000 to repaint the kitchen cabinets.
The Teen Mom stars launched their new HGTV show, Down Home Fab, on Monday, but viewers had a lot to say about their pricing.

The season premiere saw married couple and business partners Chelsea, 31, and Cole, 34, take on a new client for their design company.
The pair were tasked with refurbishing the nearby home of another Sioux Falls couple, Jessica and Nate, who had a budget of $100k.
Cole and Chelsea got hands-on with the project, tearing down walls and infusing their ’South Dakota glam” style.
When it came to the kitchen, Chelsea made the decision to retain the original cabinets, but to refresh them with black paint.

However, the cost of that single job was $15, 000.
Chelsea and Cole didn’t seem to think it was overly pricey at all.
“This is such an inexpensive way to get a huge change in here,” she claimed.
Cole chimed in: “Since we’re gonna reuse the cabinets, we can save money that way. That way we can spend a little more on the countertops.”

CAB-SOLUTELY ‘RIDICULOUS’
But many viewers thought $15k was an astronomical price for the repainting.
“I have to know how it cost $15k to paint cabinets,” wrote one on social media.
“Absolutely insane,” raged another.
A third baffled fan proposed: “Seriously, I hope the prices were fake and just for the show, but even for a fake price that seems ridiculous.”
Other viewers disliked the overall aesthetic of the completed refurbished home, which looked very similar to the distinct interiors at Cole and Chelsea’s own farmhouse.
One fan wrote: “I can’t see her [Chelsea] doing any other style…and she doesn’t have a background in interior design, so it’s going to be same thing, different house, over and over. Black, white, metallic accents with antlers, animal prints and wood.“
Another suggested: “Everything else could easily have been done by the homeowners and at like 10% of the cost. What they did was a huge waste of money.”
THE DEBOER’S DOWN HOME
Many fans are already familiar with Chelsea’s love for interior design thanks to her social media posts.
She and Cole constructed their own $750k farmhouse in 2020, where they now live with their kids Watson, Layne, and Walker, and Chelsea’s daughter Aubree from her previous relationship with Adam Lind.
New episodes of Down Home Fab air at 9pm Mondays on HGTV and are also available on Discovery+.
