In Unsellable Houses season 3 episode 10, entitled "Old Ranch to New Nest," sisters Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis set their sights on a 1970s ranch-style home in the Pacific Northwest. Despite being in an up and coming neighborhood, the property has been on the market for quite some time due to its outdated features and lack of curb appeal.
Lyndsay and Leslie are eager to take on the challenge of transforming this unsellable house into a modern and stylish home that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. But with a limited budget, the sisters will have to get creative in order to make the most of the existing space and give the home the facelift it so desperately needs.
The episode begins with Lyndsay and Leslie taking their first look at the property, which boasts a large yard and plenty of potential. However, the interior of the home is clearly in need of some TLC. The kitchen is dark and outdated, with old appliances and worn-out cabinets. The bathrooms are similarly in need of an update, with old tile and fixtures that look like they were installed in the 1970s.
Lyndsay and Leslie get to work right away, drawing up plans to give the home a modern, open-concept feel. They decide that the kitchen will be the focal point of the home, and set their sights on creating a bright, inviting space that will make buyers fall in love with the property.
In order to make the most of their budget, the sisters decide to keep the existing cabinets in the kitchen, but give them a coat of fresh white paint and add new hardware. They also replace the old countertops with a sleek quartz material that will give the space a modern look. To add some interest to the room, they install a striking backsplash made from patterned encaustic tiles in shades of blue and white.
The bathrooms are given a similar update, with new tile and fixtures that bring them into the 21st century. The sisters also decide to add some much-needed storage space to the home by creating custom built-ins in the bedrooms and living area.
Outside, the sisters focus on giving the home some much-needed curb appeal. They add new landscaping and paint the exterior of the home a soft grey color that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.
As the renovations near completion, Lyndsay and Leslie begin to stage the home for potential buyers. They carefully choose furniture and decor that will showcase the home's best features and make buyers feel right at home.
Finally, the home is ready for its debut on the market. Lyndsay and Leslie hold an open house and are thrilled with the response from potential buyers. With its modern updates and stylish decor, the home is quickly snapped up by a young couple looking for a fresh start.
"Old Ranch to New Nest" is a satisfying episode of Unsellable Houses that showcases the talent and creativity of Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis. Through their careful planning and hard work, the sisters are able to transform a dated and unsellable property into a stylish, modern home that is sure to please buyers.
