In this episode, our property specialists are challenged with a redesign project for another pair of first-time buyers with a taste for mid-century homes. The property that Egypt had for them possessed the specific architectural style they wanted, and it was also in excellent shape considering its age. However, the buyers longed for a more modern interior. “Almost everything in this kitchen has to go,” said the couple upon taking a good look at the vintage-looking kitchen.
After closing the sale, the crew started right away with demolition. Since the fixtures were in great condition, Mike opted to donate the kitchen cabinets, a decision that was appreciated by many of the show’s viewers. He then replaced them with a new set that was custom-built. In fact, all the kitchen elements were replaced — paint, backsplash, flooring, appliances, and lighting. A huge island with double-sided storage was also put in. While both the clients and fans were impressed by the project as a whole, this beauty gets credit for the positive comments pertaining directly to the kitchen.
