In episode 10 of season 11 of Sell This House!, titled "Mid-century Modern Miracle," the team heads to Studio City, California to help homeowners Lisa and Randy sell their unique mid-century modern home. The house boasts stunning architectural details such as vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, walls of glass, and a freestanding fireplace. However, Lisa and Randy's decor choices don't quite do justice to the home's mid-century charm.
As usual, host Tanya Memme and designer Roger Hazard start by surveying the home's exterior and interior. They are immediately struck by the large and cluttered furnishings that detract from the home's clean lines and natural light. The team quickly sets to work decluttering, depersonalizing, and reorganizing the space.
One of the major challenges the team faces is that the home's layout is somewhat awkward and disjointed, with the kitchen being removed from the main living area. To address this, Hazard decides to enclose an existing patio to create a new space adjacent to the living room, which will serve as a dining area. He also suggests adding a custom wood table that will echo the home's existing wood details and provide warmth to the space.
Moving on to the bedrooms, Memme and Hazard are immediately struck by the amount of excess furniture and clutter. They get to work depersonalizing the spaces and creating a more relaxed, spa-like vibe.
One of the highlights of this episode is the team's decision to get creative with the home's existing pool area. They decide to use a vibrant orange and blue color scheme, which pops against the backdrop of the home's wood and glass exterior. They also add some mid-century-inspired features, such as a custom water feature and new pool loungers.
As always, it's not just about the aesthetic changes - the Sell This House! team also offers practical advice to help the homeowners maximize their home's selling potential. They suggest painting the home's brick exterior to give it a more modern look and also recommend upgrading the home's outdated electrical system.
At the end of the episode, Lisa and Randy are thrilled with the transformation, and the home's new mid-century modern vibe is sure to attract potential buyers. Overall, "Mid-century Modern Miracle" is a satisfying episode that showcases the Sell This House! team's ability to transform any space into a stylish and sellable dream home.
