Ep 2. Color Psychology

In Home Town season 5 episode 2, titled "Color Psychology," hosts and renovation experts Ben and Erin Napier help their client Tracie, a mom and antique dealer, to find and renovate a new home that reflects her personality and style. Tracie is looking for a house with character and charm that is also kid-friendly and functional for her family.

As they start the renovation process, Ben and Erin consult with a color psychologist to learn more about the emotional and psychological effects of different colors and how to use them in the design of the house. They choose a muted green color for the exterior of the house, which evokes a sense of calm and harmony.

Inside the house, Tracie expresses her love for vintage and mid-century design, so Ben and Erin incorporate those elements into the renovation by adding a retro-inspired wallpaper in the entryway and installing a vintage stove in the kitchen. They also work to create functional storage and organization solutions, such as a custom mudroom area and built-in bookshelves.

As the renovation progresses, Ben and Erin face a few challenges, including repairing the foundation of the house and dealing with some unexpected water damage. However, with their expertise and creativity, they are able to overcome these obstacles and successfully complete the renovation.

Throughout the episode, Ben and Erin also highlight some of the unique aspects of their hometown of Laurel, Mississippi, including local restaurants and shops that Tracie and her family can enjoy.

Overall, "Color Psychology" showcases how Ben and Erin use their design skills and knowledge of color psychology to create a personalized and functional home for their clients. It also highlights the beauty and charm of Laurel, Mississippi, and the sense of community that Ben and Erin help to foster through their work.
