Ep 14. Stairway To Master Suite Heaven

In Bargain Mansions season 2 episode 14, titled "Stairway To Master Suite Heaven," host Tamara Day tackles an expansive 1950s-era home in Mission Hills, Kansas. The homeowners are a young couple who have big plans to make the house their forever home, but they need some serious help turning it into something that meets their modern needs.

Tamara's challenge is to keep the home's original charm intact while breathing new life into the space. She starts by tackling the staircase, which is located in the center of the house and leads up to the second floor. The stairs are dated and dark, so Tamara decides to give them a complete overhaul.

To bring more light into the space, Tamara decides to open up the upper portion of the staircase by removing a wall that separates it from the rest of the house. She then replaces the outdated beige carpet on the stairs with hardwood flooring that matches the rest of the house. To create a more dramatic effect, she installs a custom-made railing with iron spindles and a decorative newel post at the top of the stairs. The end result is a grand, sweeping staircase that serves as the centerpiece of the home.

Next, Tamara turns her attention to the master suite, which is located on the second floor. The current layout is awkward and doesn't make the best use of the available space. Tamara decides to reconfigure the entire space to create a more functional and luxurious master suite.

She starts by knocking down walls to create a larger bedroom and a more spacious master bathroom. She installs a custom-made vanity with marble countertops, a double sink, and plenty of storage. She also puts in a new shower with marble tile and a bench, as well as a deep soaking tub with a view of the outdoors.

To add a touch of glamour to the space, Tamara installs a beautiful custom-made chandelier over the tub. She also puts in a new fireplace and a cozy seating area with chairs, a coffee table, and a TV. The end result is a luxurious and relaxing master suite that the homeowners can enjoy for years to come.

Throughout the episode, Tamara also takes on several other projects, including updating the kitchen, adding a mudroom, and creating a custom-made bar in the basement. Despite the scope of the renovations, Tamara remains focused and upbeat, always finding creative solutions to the challenges that arise along the way.

In the end, the homeowners are thrilled with the results of the renovation. They have a beautiful, functional, and personalized home that fits their needs and style. Thanks to Tamara's skill and expertise, they can enjoy their forever home to the fullest.
