Ep 8. Colorful Custom Cottage

In Home Town Season 2 Episode 8, the hosts Ben and Erin Napier take on the challenge of reviving a plain and unremarkable cottage in a modest neighborhood in Laurel, Mississippi. The quaint home is full of potential, but the owners have a unique request: they want each room in the house to reflect a different color scheme. This task is daunting, but Erin is excited to take on the challenge, and brings in all her creativity and skills to make it happen.

As Erin and Ben survey the cottage, they notice that the house, though well-kept, is in need of some major renovations. There are multiple small rooms that can be converted into a bigger open space, and the kitchen needs an entire overhaul. Erin knows that the house's new design will have to reflect the owners' bold personality and love for colors, and she begins the process with an array of quirky options that cater to the client's specific tastes.

Erin starts by taking inspiration from the vibrancy of countryside living and the eclectic mix of colors seen in the local markets. She focuses on the bright and bold aspects of the client's personality and mixes it with quirky elements that give the home a unique, colorful flair. In addition to repainting the entire house, Erin comes up with smart design techniques to maximize the cottage's living space and functionality. She creates several custom-built pieces that add an enchanting, whimsical touch to every corner of the home.

Ben, on the other hand, takes on the task of reconfiguring the home's layout to optimize its living space. With his team of builders, he starts by tearing down several walls to create an open-concept living area. He also creates several custom-designed pieces, including wooden planters that add architectural nuance to the space. Ben's focus on building quality pieces switches up the interior of the home entirely, as he emphasizes the transformation of every room in amazingly eclectic ways.

As the couple completes the various projects, the owners eagerly anticipate the final look of the house. Erin and Ben make some last-minute touch-ups to ensure that the house is ready in time for the grand reveal. When the couple returns to see their dream, they are not disappointed.

The house's fresh new look is stunning, and each room is infused with a distinct personality to match the unique wallpaper, furnishings, and decor. The owners are thrilled to see such a colorful and unique design executed with great skill and precision. The couple is emotionally moved at the thoughtfulness Erin and Ben put into the design, from the bold colors to the unique pieces of decor. As they settle into their new home, they are grateful to start a new chapter in this magical, custom-built cottage.

Overall, Home Town Season 2 Episode 8 showcases the expert craftsmanship and creativity of Erin and Ben Napier. This episode is an excellent example of their ability to blend homeowners' personality with innovative designs, custom-built pieces, and attention to detail to create charming, inviting, and unique homes, representing the best of southern living.
