Ep 9. My Perfect Paradise

Christina On The Coast is a home renovation series that follows interior designer Christina Anstead as she transforms outdated and neglected properties into beautiful, modern homes for her clients. In season 1 episode 9, titled "My Perfect Paradise," Christina works with a couple who want to turn their dated, closed-off home into a paradise getaway inspired by their love of beach vacations.

The episode begins with Christina meeting with clients Krysta and Vance at their home in Costa Mesa, California. Krysta and Vance have been living in their 1960s ranch-style home for five years, but they are ready for a change. They love going on beach vacations, so they want to update their home with a coastal-inspired design that will make them feel like they are on vacation every day.

Christina takes a tour of the dated and closed-off house, which is divided into small rooms with low ceilings and narrow doorways. She notes that the home has a lot of potential and that a few simple changes could make a big difference. Krysta and Vance tell Christina that they want to create an open-concept living space that flows seamlessly to the backyard, which they envision as a perfect outdoor oasis.

Christina gets to work designing a plan for the renovation. She starts by knocking down walls to create an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space. She also decides to raise the ceiling to make the space feel more airy and spacious. She plans to install a large island in the kitchen and add a statement backsplash to give the space a wow factor. In the living area, she plans to add built-in shelves and a fireplace to create a cozy focal point.

Next, Christina turns her attention to the backyard. She plans to create a covered patio area with a built-in kitchen, a dining area, and a lounge space. She also plans to add a pool and a hot tub to create the ultimate outdoor oasis. Finally, she designs a beautiful master suite that incorporates the coastal theme with light blue walls, natural textures, and ocean-inspired art.

With the designs in place, Christina and her team get to work on the renovation. They knock down walls, install beams, and raise the ceiling to create the open-concept living space. They add a large island in the kitchen and a statement backsplash to give the space a modern, coastal feel. In the living area, they install built-in shelves and a fireplace, creating a cozy and inviting space that is perfect for spending time with family and friends.

Outside, Christina and her team create the covered patio area with a built-in kitchen, a dining area, and a lounge space. They add a beautiful pool and hot tub, creating a relaxing outdoor oasis that is perfect for entertaining. In the master suite, they install light blue walls, natural textures, and ocean-inspired art, creating a beautiful space that Krysta and Vance will love.

In the end, Christina and her team unveil the stunning transformation to Krysta and Vance, who are overjoyed with the results. They are thrilled with the open-concept living space, the beautiful backyard, and the coastal-inspired master suite. Christina has truly created their perfect paradise, a place where they can relax and feel like they are on vacation every day.
