Ep 12. All a Facade

The show Desert Flippers season 3 episode 12, named "All a Facade," follows the renovation and flip of a dated and dilapidated mid-century modern home in sunny Palm Springs, California. The property boasts stunning views of the surrounding mountains and desert landscape but is in desperate need of modernization. The team faces numerous challenges along the way, including unexpected structural issues and trying to juggle a tight deadline.

Lindsey and Eric Bennet, the husband-and-wife duo behind Desert Flippers, are joined by their business partner, Chuck, and designer, Meghan. The group comes up with a plan to transform the home's facade by installing new windows, adding a front porch, and repainting the exterior. They also aim to open up the floorplan of the living space to give the home a more modern feel.

The crew faces their first setback when they discover that the roof is in worse condition than they initially thought. They have to replace the entire roof, which eats up valuable time and resources. However, they don't let this obstacle slow them down and push forward with the renovations.

Once the roof is taken care of, the team moves on to the interior of the home. They work on updating the outdated kitchen by removing a wall that separates it from the living room. This allows for more natural light to flood the space and creates an open concept floorplan that is popular with homebuyers. They also install new appliances and countertops, giving the kitchen a much-needed modern touch.

In the living room, they replace the old fireplace with a sleek, contemporary design that complements the mid-century modern home. They also update the flooring throughout the home with a modern and durable option that will stand up to the desert climate.

As they wrap up the renovations, tensions start to rise as the deadline looms near. The team has to work quickly to finish all the final touches, including landscaping the yard and staging the home for potential buyers. There's a moment of panic when they discover that the new appliances they had installed aren't working, but they are able to fix the issue just in time.

In the end, the team pulls off a stunning renovation that is sure to attract potential buyers. They list the home for an impressive price and anxiously wait for an offer to come in. Will all their hard work pay off, or will they be stuck with an unsellable home? Tune in to "All a Facade" to find out!
