Farmhouse Facelift Season 1 Episode 8 Dual-Purpose Farmhouse

In season 1 episode 8 of Farmhouse Facelift, the hosts, Carolyn and Billy, take on a challenging project - a dual-purpose farmhouse. The old farmhouse belongs to a young couple, Sarah and Shawn, who have big dreams for it. They want it to be a functional family home, as well as a place to host events and workshops for their business.

The first challenge that Carolyn and Billy face is the lack of space. The farmhouse is small and cramped, with a lot of clutter. To make it work for both living and business purposes, they need to create separate spaces that can be easily converted for different uses.

The hosts start by decluttering and organizing the farmhouse, removing unnecessary items and creating more open space. They also add some clever storage solutions, like hidden shelves and cabinets, to maximize the available space.

Next, Carolyn and Billy focus on the layout of the farmhouse. They decide to create two zones - one for living and one for business. The living zone includes a cozy living room, a kitchen with a large island, and a dining area. The business zone includes a workshop, a storage room, and a bright and spacious event space.

To create a seamless transition between the two zones, Carolyn and Billy use a lot of natural materials, like wood and stone. They also add a lot of plants and greenery, to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

One of the biggest challenges of the farmhouse renovation is the bathroom. The old bathroom is small, dark, and cramped. Carolyn and Billy come up with an innovative solution - they convert a small closet into a tiny powder room, and use the existing bathroom space to create a large, spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and a separate shower.

Of course, no farmhouse renovation is complete without a few DIY projects. Carolyn and Billy get creative and build a unique farmhouse-style bed for the master bedroom, as well as a custom-made kitchen island with a built-in sink. They also give new life to some old pieces of furniture, like a vintage cabinet and an antique dresser.

The final reveal of the farmhouse is truly stunning. The new living and business zones are seamlessly integrated, creating a functional and beautiful space for Sarah and Shawn and their family. The farmhouse is now an inviting and inspiring place to live and work, and reflects the couple's passion for both family and business.
