Ep 3. English Charm

In Farmhouse Fixer season 2 episode 3, entitled English Charm, host Jonathan Knight helps a couple transform their outdated home into a stunning and charming farmhouse. The couple, who are originally from England, dream of creating an English countryside vibe in their farmhouse located in the suburbs of New York City.

As soon as Jonathan arrives, he outlines his plans to revamp the home's exterior to give it a more traditional English look. The couple shares their expectation of using the exterior as a welcoming entrance to their home and to invite their guests to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Jonathan sets out to achieve the couple's vision by reimagining the home's exterior with a more traditional English aesthetic. The team replaces the home's outdated siding with a new intricate stonework design, new shutters, and an arched entryway which gives the house an inviting and elegant look.

Upon completing the exterior, Jonathan and his team move indoors to re-design the home's living spaces. The couple expects their home to exude charm and elegance, and Jonathan achieves it by complementing the existing design aesthetic, preserving some of the existing features while bringing in modern elements.

Jonathan pays careful attention to detail as he helps the couple transform the home's kitchen. He installs new cabinets and appliances, giving the room a seamless flow with an extra classic look. The room's new layout includes open shelving that showcases the colorful crockery and other items in the kitchen.

The living room, on the other hand, is transformed to evoke a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Jonathan removes the heavy curtains and the old furniture, replacing them with stylish new pieces that offer functionality and comfort. The result is a bright and inviting space perfect for relaxing with family and friends.

To add a touch of English grandeur to the home, Jonathan installs a fireplace and an oversized picture window in the living room. The fireplace is designed to mimic traditional English style and dominates the space, which is positioned as the main attraction in the living room. The giant picture window, on the other hand, frames the perfect garden view and invites plenty of natural lighting into the space.

Moving to the bedrooms, Jonathan and his team work to create a more tranquil and inviting atmosphere that is in line with the couple's vision for a calming ambiance. He does this by bringing in light colors and soft fabrics that complement the existing features of the room. He installs new window coverings and a new workspace area to ensure that the couple has a refined and cohesive bedroom area.

Finally, Jonathan takes a fresh look at the outdoor spaces and transforms them into beautiful English-style verandas. He adds colorful flowers, comfortable and stylish seating, and vintage lighting to create the perfect outdoor retreat. The couple can now relax and take in the serene views of their beautiful garden anytime they want.
