In season 6 episode 7 of Home Town, titled "Campy Cabin Vibes," hosts Ben and Erin Napier take on a project for a couple in Laurel, Mississippi who are looking for a weekend getaway home. The couple, who recently moved to the area, purchased a camper trailer and have been using it for weekend trips. However, they dream of having a cabin that could offer a more comfortable and permanent weekend retreat.
The Napiers take on the challenge of turning the couple's small, outdated cabin into a cozy and functional space for them to relax and enjoy. The couple's love for all things outdoors inspires the design direction, and they hope to bring a "campy" feel to the home.
To achieve this, Erin and Ben decide to incorporate natural materials and textures throughout the space. They begin by focusing on the living room area, where they plan to add a new stone fireplace and install wood paneling on the walls to create a rustic feel. They also plan to replace the sectional sofa with a set of comfortable chairs to create a more inviting and cozy space to relax in.
In the kitchen, the Napiers plan to update the space with new countertops and a backsplash made with natural stone tiles. They also plan to replace the old appliances with new, energy-efficient options that better suit the couple's lifestyle. They add floating shelves to the space to provide additional storage and display areas and to allow the couple to showcase their favorite pieces.
For the bedroom, Erin and Ben want to create a calm and peaceful space that reflects the natural beauty of the surrounding area. They plan to incorporate light-colored bedding, natural wood accents, and vintage-inspired decor to create a warm and inviting space. They also add a skylight to the room to bring in natural light and make the space feel more open.
Outside, Erin and Ben focus on creating a functional outdoor living area that is perfect for entertaining and relaxing. They add an outdoor dining area with a large table and comfortable seating, as well as a fire pit surrounded by chairs for cozy evenings spent outside.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see the before and after of the couple's cabin transformation. Erin and Ben face challenges along the way, including dealing with unexpected structural issues, but they work together to overcome them and create a beautiful and functional space for the couple to enjoy.
At the end of the episode, the couple is thrilled with their newly transformed cabin, which now has a warm and inviting atmosphere with a campy vibe that reflects their love for the outdoors. Erin and Ben's hard work and design expertise have helped create a space that feels like a true home away from home for the couple, where they can relax and enjoy their weekends in comfort and style.
