Ep 6. A Quiet Place to Call Home

In Home Town season 2 episode 6, titled "A Quiet Place to Call Home," hosts Ben and Erin Napier help a couple in search of a peaceful retreat in Laurel, Mississippi. The homeowners, who hail from Texas, purchased a spacious 1950s ranch-style home with hopes of transforming it into a serene escape from their busy lives.

Ben and Erin take on the challenge of preserving the home's mid-century modern charm while bringing it up to date with modern amenities and personalized touches. They begin by tackling the exterior of the house, which has a dated, brick-and-stucco façade.

The couple wants a large front porch where they can enjoy the warm Southern weather and greet neighbors passing by. Ben and Erin design a spacious porch with plenty of seating and a hanging swing. They also add new shutters and light fixtures to give the home more curb appeal.

Inside, the homeowners want a neutral color palette with pops of color and texture, as well as plenty of natural light to highlight the home's unique architectural features. Ben and Erin work to open up the main living area by removing dated paneling and creating a more open flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen.

In the kitchen, Ben and Erin install new custom cabinets and a large center island with a butcher block top. They also add modern appliances and hardware to give the space a sleek, updated look while maintaining the home's mid-century charm.

The homeowners have a passion for art and design, and they want their new home to showcase their unique tastes. Ben and Erin create custom built-in shelving and display areas throughout the home, where the couple can display their favorite pieces.

Finally, Ben and Erin work to transform the backyard into a tranquil retreat. They create a stone patio with an outdoor fireplace and add a pergola and lush landscaping to create a relaxing space for the homeowners to enjoy.

Throughout the episode, Ben and Erin work closely with the homeowners to ensure that their vision for the home is met. The result is a beautiful, personalized space that perfectly reflects the couple's passions and style.

"A Quiet Place to Call Home" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the transformative power of design.
