Good Bones Season 1 Episode 6 Old Home Draws New Neighbors

In season 1, episode 6 of Good Bones entitled "Old Home Draws New Neighbors," the mother and daughter duo, Karen and Mina, are back at it again, transforming dilapidated properties into gorgeous homes in the up-and-coming neighborhoods of Indianapolis.

Right off the bat, they show us a beautiful Victorian-style home that has been on the market for far too long due to its run-down appearance. Despite the home's unfortunate state, Karen and Mina saw potential and decided to take on the challenge of restoring it.

The original layout of the house proved to be problematic as it featured small, cramped rooms without any flow or continuity between living spaces. They knew right away that the first thing that needed to go was the poorly designed kitchen. The mother-daughter duo created an open plan kitchen-dining area that instantly made the space feel larger and more welcoming.

They also decided to add a rear extension to the home as it lacked adequate space for entertaining guests. Now, the extension serves as an expanded living area with ample natural light streaming in from the large windows; definitely a feature that will pull in any potential home buyer.

As they continued their renovation journey, Karen and Mina kept the home's history intact by preserving several original features, such as the beautiful moldings, staircase, and fireplace. They even added period-inspired details such as custom reclaimed wooden doors that complemented the era of the house.

The exterior was not left untouched either. They added a new porch, perfect for sitting and watching the world go by, in addition to fresh paint and window boxes that struggled to contain the abundance of colorful flowers.

It was no surprise that as soon as the project was completed, the home received several offers and sold in no time. The home's transformation had breathed new life into the once-desolate street. Mina and Karen's hard work had paid off as they saw the community's response to the restored home as neighbors came over to welcome the new occupants.

This episode was a testament to their ability to see the potential in an old, rundown property and turn it into a beautiful home that any homeowner would be proud to live in. Their unique skill set and eye for design make the mother-daughter duo perfect for bringing these types of properties back to life.

Overall, Good Bones season 1, episode 6 was a heartwarming transformation story that left viewers excited to see the next property Karen and Mina would tackle next.
