Ep 8. Moroccan Mirage

Desert Flippers season 3 episode 8, titled Moroccan Mirage, follows the dynamic duo, Eric and Lindsey Bennett, as they tackle their latest renovation project in Palm Springs, California. This episode showcases their passion for design and their ability to transform a dated and worn-out property into a stunning desert oasis.

As with any Desert Flippers episode, viewers are immediately transported to the stunning desert landscape of Palm Springs. The Bennett's latest project is a property that has been barely touched since it was built in the 1960s. The house is a diamond in the rough and the Bennetts take on the challenge of turning it into a modern and stylish retreat. The Moroccan Mirage project is a special one for Eric and Lindsey as they plan to incorporate a unique Moroccan touch in their designs in order to create a luxurious and exotic getaway in the middle of the desert.

The episode begins with Eric and Lindsey touring the property with their contractor, Joe, to figure out what needs to be done. As they walk through the house, the Bennetts see that the living and dining areas are very closed off and separated from each other. They decide early on that they want to knock down a wall to create an open floor plan. They also see that the flooring throughout the house needs to be removed and replaced to give the space an updated feel.

Eric and Lindsey start planning their Moroccan-inspired designs by researching different textures, patterns, and materials that will fit the aesthetic they are going for. They choose bold and colorful fabrics, intricate floor tiles, and geometric patterns that will transport their clients into a completely different world once they step inside this exquisite property.

The Bennetts work meticulously to ensure that all the details are perfect. They install beautiful light fixtures, create a custom fireplace, and add stunning molding throughout the space. Lindsey also puts her artistic skills to work by painting a gorgeous Moroccan-inspired mural in the living room that perfectly captures the essence of the desert oasis they are creating.

When it comes to the exterior of the house, the Bennetts face a challenge because they need to work around a large rock formation that is in the middle of the backyard. They overcome this issue by building a gorgeous pool that seamlessly integrates with the rock formation, creating a breathtaking outdoor area that is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.

The Moroccan Mirage episode of Desert Flippers captures Eric and Lindsey's unique style and impeccable attention to detail. As they put their finishing touches on the property, they reveal the stunning transformation to their clients, who are thrilled with the end result. The finished product is a fusion of desert vibes and Moroccan aesthetics that perfectly captures the essence of Palm Springs. Eric and Lindsey have truly outdone themselves with this project and have created a one-of-a-kind desert oasis that anyone would be lucky to call home.
