Ep 10. Retreat Yourself

In Home Town season 5 episode 10, titled "Retreat Yourself," the hosts Ben and Erin Napier work with a young family of five who are looking to create a peaceful retreat in their home. They have purchased a charming Craftsman-style house that has great bones but needs a lot of work to meet their needs.

The family consists of a mom, dad and three young children. They have purchased the home with the intention of creating a peaceful atmosphere where they can escape from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives. The mom is a stay-at-home parent, while the dad is a working professional who travels frequently for work. They are looking to create a space that is both functional and relaxing, with plenty of space for the family to spend time together.

Ben and Erin start by exploring the home and identifying areas that need attention. The living room is dated and cramped, while the kitchen is old and lacks storage space. The family wants to have a comfortable space where they can entertain guests, so Ben and Erin decide to knock out a wall to create an open-concept living area. They also install new flooring and light fixtures to give the room a brighter and more modern feel.

For the kitchen, Ben and Erin focus on creating more storage space and upgrading the appliances. They install new cabinets and countertops, which not only look great but provide the family with more room for their kitchen essentials. They also add a large island with seating, allowing the family to gather together while meals are being prepared.

The family's master suite is currently lacking in both style and functionality, so Ben and Erin decide to focus on making some major upgrades. They install a new vanity, add a luxurious bathtub, and install new fixtures throughout the bathroom. They also install new flooring and paint, giving the space a fresh and modern feel.

The children's bedrooms are also in need of some TLC, so Ben and Erin work to create spaces that are both functional and fun. They install new storage solutions in each room and add playful elements like colorful wallpaper and unique artwork. The children are thrilled with their new spaces, and the parents are happy that the rooms are both entertaining and functional.

Throughout the renovation, Ben and Erin focus on creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for the family. They incorporate elements like soft lighting, comfortable furniture, and calming colors to give the house a serene feel. They also install new landscaping outside to create a tranquil outdoor space where the family can spend time together.

By the end of the episode, the family's new home is a peaceful retreat that perfectly meets their needs. They have a comfortable and stylish living room, a functional and beautiful kitchen, and bedrooms that reflect their personalities. The parents are happy to have a space that is both relaxing and entertaining, while the children are excited to have their own unique spaces to call their own. Thanks to the hard work of Ben and Erin, this family now has a home that they can truly enjoy and cherish for years to come.
