The episode, entitled "Western Craftsman," is set in a beautiful Californian city where Jessie and Tina discover a stunning craftsman-style bungalow that is over 100 years old. They are both instantly drawn to the house's vintage charm and decide that it's the perfect location to start their new renovation project.

From the moment they arrive, Jessie and Tina are taken aback by the house's unique character and architecture. The property is full of history and vintage details, and it's clear that they have a lot of work to do to bring it back to its former glory. The house has been abandoned for some time, and there is a lot of work to be done to restore it to its former glory.

The vintage craftsman house has all the classic features of the era, with a tall pitched roof, spacious front porch, and a hardwood floor throughout the living space. The exterior reveals a rustic and charming character, with dramatic shutters on the lower windows that harken back to the time when Californian cowboys settled into their new homes. The front yard features some beautiful mature trees and grassy areas that offer privacy and curb appeal to this stunning home. The property is situated in a prime location, just a stone's throw away from the city's main street, and has excellent access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment.

Jessie and Tina soon realize that this will be their most challenging project to date. The foundation of the house is shaky, the roof is leaking, and the electrical wiring is outdated. They must work tirelessly to clean up the property and remove all the overgrown weeds and rubbish. Then, they get down to the renovation work of transforming the home, adding modern elements to the vintage design, all while preserving the original features of the house.

Throughout the episode, Jessie and Tina take on a range of design challenges. First, they tackle the hardwood floors, which require some significant refinishing work. They also work on the kitchen, which is quite small and outdated. They decide on a modern country kitchen theme and use unique combinations of stainless steel and warm wood colors to give an elegant new look. They add new cabinetry, shelving options, and modern appliances to modernize the space.

As they work on the living room and the bedrooms, they use their signature style and classic vintage design elements to craft a beautiful new space for the potential buyer. They create a cozy living area with custom-made vintage classic furniture. They add a modern electric fireplace to add a functional and modern-day touch to the room. As for the bedrooms, Jessie and Tina use the original paint on the walls as an accent color and give the rooms a vintage edge by using classic furniture and accessories.

In the end, Jessie and Tina triumphantly breathe new life into the Western Craftsman. They leave the bungalow home brighter, cleaner and with a modern edge while still embracing the original architecture and charm. They successfully preserve the vintage charm of the house while updating it with modern amenities.
