Ep 6. Finding Good Designers

Aspiring house flippers, Lena and Russ, are back this week on Flipped for episode 6 of season 1. This episode, titled "Finding Good Designers," follows the duo as they attempt to take on their biggest challenge yet: completely revamping the interior design of an outdated home in just three weeks.

After weeks of demolition work and major structural renovations, Lena and Russ are finally at a point where they can focus on the fun part: decorating. However, as they quickly realize, finding good designers who can help them bring their vision to life isn't as easy as they thought it would be.

The episode begins with Lena and Russ trying to tackle the design process on their own. However, as they start to realize that their style preferences clash and they don't have the expertise to create a cohesive look throughout the entire house, they decide it's time to bring in the professionals. They set out to find designers who can work with their budget and tight timeline, but they quickly find that many of the designers they speak with are hesitant to take on such a big project with such a short deadline.

After several failed attempts at finding designers on their own, Lena and Russ decide to bring in a consultant to help them vet potential candidates. They meet with a seasoned designer who has worked on similar projects before, and she helps them narrow down their search to a handful of designers who she believes will be able to handle the job.

From there, Lena and Russ meet with each designer to discuss their vision and see if they're a good fit for the project. They quickly realize that finding a designer who shares their style and can work within their budget is no easy feat. However, after several interviews, they ultimately decide on a designer who they believe will be able to bring their vision to life.

However, as the project progresses, they begin to realize that working with a designer isn't as simple as just telling them what they want and letting them run with it. They quickly realize that they need to be more hands-on with the process and give their designer more specific direction in order to ensure that the end result is exactly what they want.

As they work through the design process, Lena and Russ continue to run into unexpected challenges. From supplier issues to unforeseen delays, they're constantly forced to adapt and come up with creative solutions to keep the project on track. However, despite the obstacles they face, they remain determined to see the project through to completion.

In the end, Lena and Russ are thrilled with the end result of their design project. The house comes together beautifully, and they're excited to show it off to potential buyers. However, they quickly realize that in order to make a profit on the flip, they need to be strategic with their pricing and marketing. The episode ends with Lena and Russ strategizing the best way to market the property and ensure that they make a profit on their investment.

Overall, episode 6 of Flipped is a must-watch for anyone who loves home renovation shows. The challenges faced by Lena and Russ in finding good designers and navigating the design process are relatable and will likely resonate with anyone who has ever taken on a renovation project of their own. However, their determination and perseverance in the face of adversity is truly inspiring, and viewers will be left rooting for their success.
