- March 10, 2012
Home Made Simple is a long-running home improvement and renovation show that has helped many families improve and transform their homes with expert advice and hands-on help. In season 9, episode 13, titled "A Multigenerational Home," the show features a family looking to create a home that suits the needs of multiple generations.
The episode starts with Laila Ali, the host of Home Made Simple, introducing the three-generation family that she will be helping to transform their home. The family includes the grandparents, parents, and children who all live under one roof. However, they are struggling with space and organization, and the house doesn't feel like a home to everyone.
To begin, Laila takes a tour of the house, asking each family member to share their likes and dislikes about the space. She identifies the challenges the family is facing, such as lack of storage, disorder in the kids' rooms, and needing a designated area for everyone to come together.
Laila then introduces the Home Made Simple team, which includes a designer, carpenter, and organizer. Together they work with the family to create a plan that will transform their home into a space that is both functional and beautiful.
One of the first things the team focuses on is creating storage solutions. They build a custom storage bench in the entryway, which provides a place for the family to store their shoes, backpacks, and jackets. The designer also shows the family how to repurpose an old bookshelf and turn it into a stylish storage unit for the living room.
Next, the team turns their attention to the kids' bedrooms. They work with the children to declutter their rooms and show them how to keep things organized. The carpenter builds custom shelves in each room, providing the kids with a place to store their toys, books, and other belongings.
The family also needed a designated area for everyone to come together. The team creates a multi-functional space by transforming the dining room into a game room and home office. They build a custom desk and shelves, providing a place for the grandparents to work from home and for the kids to do their homework.
Finally, the designer works with the family to bring their personal style into every room. She shows the family how to repurpose old furniture, adds new artwork, and selects the perfect accessories to create a warm, inviting space.
Throughout the episode, the Home Made Simple team offers helpful tips and advice on how to maintain an organized and functional home. They show the family how to make the most of their small space, while still creating a home that suits the needs of multiple generations.
In the end, the family is thrilled with their newly transformed home. The space feels more organized, functional, and inviting to everyone. The grandparents have a designated workspace, the children have organized bedrooms, and the family now has a place to come together and spend time as a family.
