In Bath Crashers season 8 episode 12, titled "Holiday Party Palace," host and licensed contractor Matt Muenster transforms a dull, dated bathroom into a luxurious and functional space just in time for the holidays.
The episode begins with Matt meeting with a couple who love to entertain. They are frustrated with their small, outdated bathroom, which doesn't provide enough space or storage for their holiday guests. Matt assesses the space and notes that the bathroom needs a major overhaul, including new fixtures, more storage, and a better layout.
Matt's first step is to gut the bathroom down to the studs, removing the old, cramped shower and tub. He then rebuilds the space, starting with a new, larger shower and a stunning freestanding bathtub. He also installs sophisticated new lighting fixtures, including a chandelier over the tub and sconces flanking the mirror.
One of the main challenges of the project is creating enough storage space. To solve this problem, Matt installs a large, custom-built vanity with ample cabinets and drawers. He also adds floating shelves and a recessed medicine cabinet to maximize storage without taking up valuable floor space.
Matt pays close attention to the details throughout the project, installing elegant new tile work on the shower walls and floors and adding custom trim and molding throughout the bathroom. He also incorporates high-tech features, such as a voice-activated shower system that allows the homeowners to adjust the temperature and flow of the water with just their voice.
Finally, Matt adds finishing touches to make the space both functional and beautiful. He installs heated floors for added comfort and luxury, and adds stylish accessories such as a plush rug, decorative towels, and a festive wreath to bring the holiday spirit into the space.
Overall, "Holiday Party Palace" showcases Matt's skill and creativity as he transforms a cramped, outdated bathroom into a spacious, luxurious, and functional space perfect for entertaining guests during the holiday season.
