Ep 2. Switching Rooms

Tarek and Christina are back with another exciting episode of Flip or Flop season 7 episode 2 called "Switching Rooms." In this episode, Tarek and Christina take on a new challenge by swapping their roles for the day. This means Tarek will be doing the design and Christina will be handling the construction. The two of them will be working on a dated mid-century home in Anaheim, California.

The couple is eager to take on a new challenge and to step out of their comfort zones. Tarek is known for his design skills and Christina for her construction expertise, but they are willing to try something new. The goal of this episode is to see if Tarek can successfully design and create a functional layout for the home, while Christina is tasked with executing the construction process flawlessly.

The mid-century home is in desperate need of a complete renovation. The outdated kitchen, dark and drab living room, and dingy bathrooms are the main areas that require attention. Tarek and Christina decide to start with the kitchen and begin their day by swapping roles. Tarek gets out his sketchbook and starts drawing up plans for a new kitchen layout, while Christina gets to work on demolition and prep work.

Throughout the course of the episode, Tarek struggles with the design process. He quickly realizes that designing a room is much harder than it looks, and that Christina may have a more difficult job than he anticipated. Meanwhile, Christina is thriving in her role as the construction lead. She manages to tackle the demo and prep work with ease, and even steps in to help with the design process when needed.

As the renovation progresses, Tarek and Christina continue to switch roles and work together to create a cohesive design plan. The new kitchen layout is beginning to take shape, and the living room is starting to look bright and inviting. The bathrooms are also getting a much-needed facelift, with new fixtures and updated tile work.

However, there are some setbacks along the way. The couple runs into unforeseen issues with the plumbing and electrical, which slows down the construction process. But Tarek and Christina remain determined and work together to find solutions to these challenges.

As the episode comes to a close, Tarek and Christina successfully complete their renovation project. The mid-century home is transformed into a modern, functional space that any family would be thrilled to live in. The updated kitchen, living room, and bathrooms are sure to appeal to potential buyers, making this a successful flip for the couple.

Overall, the "Switching Rooms" episode of Flip or Flop season 7 is a fun and exciting twist on the usual formula.
