Ep 6. The Man Cave

Bath Crashers is an American television series where the host, licensed contractor Matt Muenster transforms dull and outdated bathrooms into stunning retreats within 24 hours. The show features creative ideas, stylish designs, and expert craftsmanship in every season. Season 2 episode 6, named The Man Cave, follows the same pattern as the other episodes, where Matt surprises his client with a modern and luxurious bathroom renovation.

In this episode, Matt meets with his clients, a couple, who are homeowners for seven years. Chris and Karen own a house in suburban Minnesota that they bought considering the location and the potential of the unfinished basement. Chris, a professional photographer, and Karen, a psychologist, enjoy their hobbies and work from home quite frequently. They want to convert the dull and unfinished basement into a multi-functional space, which not only includes the functionality of a bathroom but also has room for Chris's photography and Karen's meditation practice.

Matt, being the problem solver that he is, takes careful notes of their requirements and starts the renovation process. Matt's team demolishes the existing bathroom and constructs a new one with a shower, freestanding bathtub, modern vanity, and wall mirrors. The team also installs lighting fixtures that can be dimmed for Karen's meditation sessions. To make the bathroom look unique and elegant, Matt's crew added marble tiles on floors and walls with a striking blend of blue and gray color.

As the bathroom takes form, Chris's photography studio also starts to take shape. Matt installs french doors, which lead to the photography studio that comprises the most advanced lighting system, green screens, and a large monitor, perfect for Chris's photo editing and publishing work. The green screen is kept close to the ceiling, which allows Chris to conduct professional photoshoots with ease.

Karen's requirement of a meditation space is fulfilled with a unique and peaceful art installation created by the crew. The artwork is made up of wooden logs carved with scrolls that form a visually pleasing and calming experience. Moreover, the logs have a sound system installed, which allows Karen to play her choice of soothing music.

The renovation is not complete without a separate space for entertainment, and so Matt's team constructs a comfortable and cozy entertainment area next to the bathroom. The entertainment area's wall facing the bathroom is painted with a striking blue color, generating an illusion that the entertainment area is contiguous with the bathroom. The surface mount speakers are installed on the ceiling, generating a surround sound experience. The team installs a space-saving sectional sofa and a big-screen TV, perfect for entertaining guests or watching movies.

As the episode concludes, Matt's clients are over the moon with the multi-functional and luxurious space they have received. Chris and Karen are thrilled with the photography studio, Karen's meditation space, and the entertainment area. The remodelled bathroom with its elegant fixtures, marble tiles, and rejuvenating ambiance ticked all the boxes of their requirements.

In conclusion, Bath Crashers' Season 2 episode 6, named The Man Cave, delivers what it promises – a stunning and functional bathroom upgrade that elevates the living space. The ability to cater to individual clients' unique needs and requirements is what makes Bath Crashers stand out from the competition. The show's host, Matt Munster, perfectly captures the essence of taking the dull and making it shine bright, and this episode is no exception.
