Ep 13. Women Take On Their Men

In season 12 episode 13 of Flea Market Flip titled "Women Take On Their Men," teams made up of couples compete against each other to see who can turn an old piece of furniture into a stylish and functional piece. This episode focuses on women stepping up to the challenge and taking the lead in the projects, while their male partners take a backseat.

The first team features a husband and wife duo who typically work together, but this time the wife takes charge. They find an old wooden trunk and decide to transform it into a coffee table. They sand down the rough edges, add some decorative trim, and give it a bold paint job. But will the finished product meet the judges' standards and win them the competition?

Next, a girlfriend and boyfriend take on the challenge, but this time it's the girlfriend who takes the lead. They find an old dresser and decide to turn it into a bar. She goes for a rustic look, adding wooden panels to the sides, a coat of dark stain, and new hardware. Meanwhile, her boyfriend helps by building a custom shelf to go behind the bar. Will their creative ideas be enough to impress the judges?

Finally, a married couple takes on the competition, but this time the wife is the mastermind behind the project. They find an old set of dining chairs and decide to make a bench to go with their existing farmhouse table. She envisions a shabby chic look, with distressed white paint and a custom cushion. Her husband helps by constructing the frame and adding some finishing touches. Will their collaboration be enough to win the competition and take home the prize money?

Throughout the episode, the teams face challenges and setbacks as they try to repurpose their old furniture into something new and exciting. They have limited time and resources, and the pressure is on to create something that meets the judges' criteria. But despite the obstacles, they each bring their own unique ideas and skills to the table, showcasing just how much creativity and talent can be found in even the most unexpected places.

In the end, only one team will be crowned the winner of this week's competition, but all of the contestants walk away with a sense of satisfaction in knowing that they've taken an old piece of furniture and given it new life. From custom features to bold colors, their creations reflect their own unique style and creativity, proving that with a little imagination and some teamwork, even the most drab furniture can become a show-stopping piece.
