Ep 2. Finding Her House And Her Voice

In House Hunters Renovation season 17 episode 2, titled "Finding Her House And Her Voice," we meet Kelsie, a recent college graduate and aspiring songwriter who is looking for a home in Nashville that can double as a creative space where she can produce music. Kelsie is on a tight budget, but wants to find a house that she can make her own with some renovations.

Kelsie's real estate agent shows her three properties. The first house is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow that is move-in ready, but doesn't have the space Kelsie needs for her music-making. The second property is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house with a large backyard, but needs a lot of work to update the outdated finishes. The third house is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home that is move-in ready, but would require Kelsie to transform one of the bedrooms into a music studio.

After viewing the properties, Kelsie decides on the third house and begins the renovation process with her contractor, Jon, and designer, Kaitlin. Kelsie's vision for the space is to create a cozy and eclectic home that reflects her personal style, while also having a separate space for her music studio.

The first step is to update the kitchen, which is currently cramped and outdated. Kaitlin's design plan includes opening up the space by removing a wall and installing new cabinets, countertops, and appliances. Kelsie also wants to incorporate a music-themed backsplash and open shelving to display her vinyl collection. Jon and his team get to work and complete the kitchen renovation on schedule and within budget.

Next, Kaitlin and Kelsie tackle the living room and dining room area. Kelsie wants to create a comfortable and inviting space for her and her friends to hang out, while also having room for her keyboard and other music equipment. Kaitlin's design plan includes installing new flooring, adding custom shelving, and creating a feature wall with wallpaper and built-in lighting. Kelsie is thrilled with the end result and can't wait to show off her new space to her friends.

The final step is to create Kelsie's music studio. She has always dreamed of having a space to write and record her music, and Jon and Kaitlin are determined to deliver a special space for her. They install soundproofing panels and custom acoustic treatments, along with new lighting and electrical outlets. Kelsie is over the moon with the finished product and can't wait to start recording her latest song.

Overall, Kelsie is thrilled with her new home and creative space. She was able to find a property that fit her budget and vision, and with the help of Jon and Kaitlin, was able to transform it into a fully functioning living and music space. "Finding Her House And Her Voice" is an inspiring episode that shows the power of a well-planned home renovation.
