Ep 9. Life Out West

Property Brothers: Forever Home season 8 episode 9, titled "Life Out West," showcases the talented duo Drew and Jonathan Scott transforming a boring and outdated house into a beautiful and functional forever home for a couple. The couple, who are originally from the East Coast but now living in Colorado, want a house that reflects their love for the western lifestyle.

Upon meeting the couple, Drew and Jonathan find out that the existing house is not suitable for their clients' needs. It's cramped, lacks storage, and the home's layout doesn't allow for a proper livable space. But the couple loves the location and the view, so they ask the Property Brothers to give the home a complete makeover, capturing its essence and bringing the outdoor beauty inside.

The Property Brothers decide to reconfigure the entire layout of the house, starting with the main living space. With the help of their team, they knock down several walls, opening up space for a larger living area and creating a more seamless flow between the kitchen, dining room, and living room. They also create a new fireplace wall, adding texture, warmth, and a new focal point to the main living space.

Since the couple loves to entertain guests, the Property Brothers also create a spacious deck right off the living room, which is perfect for outdoor gatherings and enjoying the stunning mountain view. For the deck, the brothers choose a wood surface, which complements the western feel of the house and adds warmth to the outdoor space.

Next, the Property Brothers focus on creating storage solutions throughout the house since the existing home had minimal closet space. They design custom built-ins for the master bedroom, which provide ample space for the couple's clothing and other personal items. They also install new cabinets in the garage for additional storage space.

The couple requests a mudroom to store their outdoor gear, and the Property Brothers deliver by transforming a small, unused room into a spacious and functional mudroom. They add hooks and bench seating, providing ample space for the couple's boots, jackets, and backpacks.

For the kitchen, the Property Brothers give the cabinets a modern facelift by painting them a charcoal grey color, which creates a striking contrast against the white walls and countertops. They also add a massive island to the kitchen, which doubles as a workspace and a gathering spot for the couple's family and friends.

In the end, the Property Brothers create a beautiful western-inspired forever home that captures the essence of the couple's outdoor lifestyle. The show teaches viewers that remodeling an existing home can transform it into a stunning, livable space that meets the unique needs of its owners. "Life Out West" is an excellent episode that will appeal to anyone who is interested in home design, remodeling, and renovation.
