Kitchen Crashers Season 5 Episode 9 Mountain Chic

In season 5, episode 9 of Kitchen Crashers, titled "Mountain Chic," host Alison Victoria takes on a unique challenge of renovating a dated kitchen in a rustic mountain setting. The homeowners, a young couple who loves the outdoors, have recently moved into their dream home but are struggling with a kitchen that is small, outdated, and not very functional.

Alison's goal is to create a spacious and functional kitchen that reflects the homeowners' love for the outdoors while also incorporating modern design elements. To achieve this, she begins by knocking down a wall to open up the kitchen and dining area, creating a spacious and airy open-plan space.

The design theme for this renovation is "Mountain Chic," blending rustic and modern elements to create a cozy yet contemporary feel. Alison starts by installing beautiful wood flooring and adds a rustic touch by installing a reclaimed wood wall in the dining area. The cabinets are updated with a fresh coat of white paint and replaced with white shaker-style cabinets that give the kitchen a clean and modern look.

To achieve a more functional kitchen, Alison adds a large center island with a quartz countertop that serves as both a workspace and a gathering place for family and friends. The island is also given a rustic touch with a butcher block top and a custom-made wood base.

With the basic structure in place, Alison adds some finishing touches to bring the "Mountain Chic" theme to life. She adds a beautiful stone backsplash and a farmhouse-style sink to tie in with the rustic feel of the mountain setting. The appliances are updated with stainless steel models that give the kitchen a sleek and modern look. Alison also adds open shelving to display the homeowners' collection of vintage camping gear and adds pops of color with bright orange chairs to inject a playful touch to space.

The finishing touches in this renovation are unique and unexpected, with a playful installation of a swing seat at the island and a custom-made light fixture that steals the show.

Alison's "Mountain Chic" kitchen transformation is a perfect blend of rustic and modern elements that reflects the homeowners' love for the outdoors while being functional for their daily living. This episode of Kitchen Crashers showcases how a small kitchen renovation can have a big impact on the feel and flow of a home.
