In season 2 episode 12 of Flip or Flop, the hosts, Tarek and Christina take on a new challenge with a ranch-style house located in the sleepy city of Norwalk, CA. The "Ranch House of Ruin" as they call it, is in shambles, with a dilapidated roof and broken doors and windows. The overgrown backyard is a jungle of weeds and debris. The couple sees potential in the house and envisions turning the ranch into a modern-day oasis with an open floor plan and contemporary touches.
As they tour the house, Tarek and Christina discover significant water damage in the living room ceiling where leaks have caused mold to grow. The kitchen is in dire need of a facelift, and the bathrooms are outdated. The home's layout is awkward and cramped, but Christina thinks it can be reconfigured to open up the space.
The biggest challenge, however, is the backyard, which is not only overgrown but has massive concrete slabs, making it difficult to access and clear. The hosts team up with a landscape designer to come up with a plan to remove the concrete and create a beautiful outdoor living space, complete with a pool and barbecue area.
As the work begins, Tarek and Christina encounter various setbacks, including discovering more water damage and having to remove a chimney. They also encounter resistance from the local government, which has strict rules on the size and type of the pool they can install. However, they overcome these obstacles with their perseverance and problem-solving skills.
The hosts showcase their design abilities by bringing a contemporary vibe to the home with modern accessories, sleek cabinetry, and a neutral color palette. They install a large island in the kitchen to open up the space and create the perfect spot for entertaining guests. The bathrooms are modernized with sleek fixtures and tiled showers, while the bedrooms are transformed with new flooring and fresh paint.
Finally, the backyard is transformed into a beautiful oasis with a stunning pool, lush landscaping, and an outdoor kitchen. The hosts create the perfect spot to entertain guests and enjoy the Southern California weather.
In conclusion, in season 2 episode 12 of Flip or Flop, Tarek and Christina take on an ambitious project with the Ranch House of Ruin, which requires them to use their skills and creativity to turn an outdated and tired ranch into a modern-day oasis. With patience, resilience, and creativity, the couple transforms the house into a thing of beauty that any family would be proud to call home.
