In Restored by the Fords season 2 episode 12, titled Boho Farmhouse, siblings and design experts, Leanne and Steve Ford, take on a new challenging project of renovating a 19th-century farmhouse located in Indiana. The homeowners, Marcy and Jim, have purchased the property as their forever home, but it's in dire need of an update. The couple is looking for a home that's modern and chic while still retaining the original farmhouse charm.
At the beginning of the episode, the Ford siblings take a tour of the property to assess the renovation needs. They discover that the farmhouse has a quirky layout, with multiple add-ons and rooms that don't flow well. The team decides to open up some of the walls and create a more open floor plan to give the house a more modern feel.
One of the unique features of the home is the original brick fireplace that's in great condition, but it's currently in an awkward place. The Fords decide to move the fireplace and make it the cornerstone of a beautiful new living room.
Another challenge the siblings face is the lack of closet space in the home. To solve the problem, they create a new walk-in closet, featuring a custom wardrobe that's both functional and fashionable.
In the kitchen, the Fords aim to transform it into a stylish and practical space. Currently, the kitchen is small and closed off from the rest of the house, which doesn't suit the couple's needs. The siblings decide to expand the kitchen and design it with open shelving, a large island, and modern appliances.
The home's original hardwood floors are still in great condition, but they need to be sanded and refinished. To add a modern touch, the team decides to stain them a dark color, which will make them pop in contrast to the otherwise light and airy decor.
As the renovation progresses, Leanne and Steve bring in some of their signature boho-chic style to the home with unique light fixtures, patterned wallpaper accents, and an eclectic mix of vintage and new furniture.
In the end, Marcy and Jim are thrilled with the transformation of their new home. The modern touches blend perfectly with the original charm of the 19th-century farmhouse, and the open and airy feeling is perfect for their family's needs. The Fords even managed to add some extra square footage to the home, including a new mudroom and home office. Overall, the Boho Farmhouse renovation is another successful project for the Ford siblings, showcasing their talent for creating beautiful and functional spaces.
