Ep 8. Bold Kitchen for a Brit

Christina on the Coast season 2 episode 8 titled "Bold Kitchen for a Brit" is an exciting episode that features Christina's incredible skills in designing and transforming homes. In this episode, Christina is presented with a challenge to create a bold and modern kitchen for a British couple who has just relocated to Orange County, California.

The episode kicks off with Christina meeting the couple at their home. The couple had recently bought a mid-century home and was excited to renovate the kitchen to suit their modern taste. Christina immediately senses their style and suggests that they modernize the space by making it more open and airy. The couple agrees, and Christina sets out to work with her team to deliver a remarkable transformation.

As the renovation process begins, Christina faces challenges with the existing layout of the kitchen. The couple's desire for a modern kitchen required expanding the space, and Christina had to work with the existing structure of the home. She had to remove walls to make the space feel larger while still keeping the architectural integrity of the mid-century home. This was quite challenging, but Christina handled it with ease.

To stay true to the couple's request for a modern space, Christina used bold and vibrant colors in the kitchen design. She chose a striking blue color scheme that immediately catches the eye. The blue cabinetry was contrasted with white quartz slabs that Christina personally selected. The countertops were installed by her team, and Christina even helped to lay the tiles for the backsplash.

One thing that sets "Bold Kitchen for a Brit" apart from other episodes of Christina on the Coast is Christina's strong attention to detail. She went all-out to ensure that the homeowners would be happy with every aspect of the kitchen. Christina added brass hardware to the drawers, which was a nod to the couple's British roots, especially since they requested a traditional British range cooker.

The renovation process also included the installation of state-of-the-art kitchen appliances. The couple had requested that Christina incorporate a smart home system. Christina and her team installed a smart refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher. The homeowners can now have remote control over their kitchen appliances with voice commands through their smartphones.

While the primary focus of this episode is on the kitchen, Christina went above and beyond to ensure that the design flowed seamlessly through the entire home. She redesigned the bar, living room, and family room by adding new furniture pieces and accessories that complemented the updated kitchen. She even installed a new built-in bookshelf that added character and charm to the living room.

Overall, "Bold Kitchen for a Brit" is a perfect representation of Christina's incredible talent and dedication to home renovation. This episode proves that she is not afraid to take on big challenges and can exceed homeowners' expectations. The Brits were thrilled with their newly transformed modern kitchen, and Christina was happy with the end result.
