Home Made Simple Season 9 Episode 3 Embracing 40 and Fabulousness!

In this episode of Home Made Simple, viewers are introduced to a woman named Rachel who is about to turn 40. Rachel is a busy mom of two who has put her family's needs before her own for many years. Now that she is approaching her milestone birthday, she wants to embrace her 40s with confidence and style.

The Home Made Simple team, led by designer Laila Ali, is ready to help Rachel achieve her goal. Laila starts by meeting with Rachel to get to know her personal style and design preferences. She also takes a tour of Rachel's home to see what changes can be made to freshen up the space.

One of the first projects tackled in this episode is Rachel's backyard. With the help of landscape designer Carson Arthur, the team transforms Rachel's yard from a neglected space to a beautiful oasis. They install a new flower bed, add some furniture, and create a focal point with a beautiful fountain.

Next, Laila and her team tackle the interior of Rachel's home. They start with the living room, which has been the same for many years. Laila decides to add some pops of color to the space, including a bright blue couch and some colorful throw pillows. She also adds some new lamps and artwork to make the room feel more modern.

In the kitchen, Laila works with chef Ronnie Woo to create a delicious and healthy meal for Rachel and her family. Ronnie creates a roasted chicken dish with vegetables and quinoa, which Rachel loves. He also gives her some tips for meal prep, so she can save time in the kitchen while still creating nutritious meals for her family.

Throughout the episode, viewers also get to see some DIY projects that Rachel can do at home. Designer and DIY expert Monica Mangin shows Rachel how to create a gallery wall in her living room, using some of the new artwork Laila has added. She also teaches Rachel how to create a beautiful floral arrangement, which can be used as a centerpiece for her dining table.

At the end of the episode, Rachel is thrilled with the changes that have been made to her home. She feels more confident about entering her 40s and is excited to continue making changes in her life. The Home Made Simple team has helped her to embrace her fabulousness and make her home a beautiful and welcoming space for her family and friends.
