Ep 6. Flip House To Family Project

In season 5 episode 6 of Fixer Upper titled "Flip House To Family Project," Chip and Joanna Gaines take on a unique project as they flip a house not to sell, but to turn it into a family home. The house is located in the charming town of McGregor, Texas and has been on the market for over a year due to its bad condition. The Gaines’ decide to buy and renovate the house to create a beautiful and functional space for a family to live in.

The episode starts with the Gaines’ giving a tour of the house, revealing its rundown state. The house is a two-story home with three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms. It has an outdated kitchen, pink carpeting, and a large backyard that needs a lot of work. Chip and Joanna plan to transform the house into a functional family home while staying within their budget.

In the first stage of the renovation process, Chip and Joanna work on demolishing the kitchen. The old cabinets and appliances are removed, making room for new custom-made cabinets and modern appliances. Joanna adds a beautiful backsplash and new countertops to give the kitchen a fresh and updated look. She also installs a large kitchen island, which provides more space and storage.

The next area of focus is the living room, which is given a complete makeover. Joanna decides to paint the pink walls a light gray color, which opens up the room and makes it feel more spacious. The old brick fireplace is painted white and given a custom mantel, which adds a touch of elegance to the room. Joanna also adds some accent pieces, such as new curtains and a patterned rug, which bring the whole space together and make it feel warm and inviting.

The Gaines’ then turn their attention to the backyard, which is in desperate need of landscaping. They clear out the old debris and add new landscaping and fresh grass. They create an outdoor seating area with a fire pit, which will be perfect for relaxing and spending time with family and friends.

Upstairs, the bedrooms receive a fresh coat of paint, new flooring, and new furniture. The master bedroom is given a complete overhaul, with Joanna adding a custom-made headboard and new bedding to create a stylish and relaxing space. She also adds a seating area, which takes advantage of the room's large windows and natural light.

Finally, in the last stage of the renovation process, Chip and Joanna add some final touches to the house. They install new light fixtures throughout the house, which add a modern touch and provide better lighting. They also add new bathroom fixtures, which give the bathrooms a fresh and updated look.

At the end of the episode, Chip and Joanna reveal the finished product to the camera crew and the homeowners. The house has been transformed into a beautiful and functional family home, with a modern kitchen, updated bathrooms, and stylish bedrooms. The house's backyard is now a perfect place for relaxation and entertainment. Overall, the Gaines’ have succeeded in transforming a rundown flip house into a stunning family home, fulfilling their clients' dreams and providing a great place for them to live.
