Leave It to Bryan is a popular Canadian home renovation reality show which follows Bryan Baeumler, a seasoned contractor who helps homeowners renovate their homes. In this episode, Mish Mash Mess, Bryan tackles the renovation of a family's living and dining room.
Located in a suburban area of Toronto, the family-owned house appears to be a bit chaotic and disorganized. Bryan, an experienced professional, arrives on site to assess the renovation plans. He meets the homeowners, a young family with three kids, who explain to him their vision for their living and dining room.
The living and dining room is quite large but it seems like nothing really matches. The walls are a mix of bright and dark colors, the furniture is mismatched and the decor is outdated. Bryan's task is to transform the space into a modern, cohesive, and functional area.
Bryan starts by surveying the space to determine what needs to be done. He makes a list, takes the measurements, and sketches out a design plan. Afterward, he presents the proposal to the family, which includes revamping the entire space, painting the walls, installing new lighting and modern furniture, and creating custom-built storage units.
The family is excited about Bryan's plan and gives him the green light for the renovation. Bryan and his crew begin the demolition process which is accompanied by the usual mess and dust that comes with renovations.
Once the demolition is done, Bryan starts work on the structural changes. He builds custom storage units that will be functional and stylish, and makes the necessary electrical and plumbing modifications. Bryan also discovers that the floor tiles have to be replaced because of water damage.
The family is pleased with the progress, but things quickly take a turn when Bryan comes across another issue. The old walls are made of plaster which is difficult to remove and has to be done carefully to avoid damaging the other parts of the house. This discovering throws the renovation off schedule and the family starts to worry about how long the renovation will take.
Bryan is not deterred. He hires a team of specialized professionals to help with the plaster removal, and they work around the clock to ensure that the renovation stays on track. While the plaster removal is in progress, Bryan goes to pick out the furniture, paint, and decor for the living and dining room.
After the plaster is removed, and the walls are prepped, Bryan proceeds to install the new furniture, lighting, and paint. The transformation is almost complete. Bryan shares with the family his vision for the finishing touches, including custom curtains and artwork, which he carefully chooses to match the new design.
Finally, the big reveal day is here. Bryan invites the family back into the space, and they are wowed by the transformation. The old chaotic and mismatched living and dining room has been replaced by a modern, cohesive, and functional area with custom-built storage units, comfortable furniture, and stylish decor.
The family is very happy with the new space, and Bryan is proud of the work his team has done. They have transformed a mishmash mess into a beautiful and functional living and dining room.
Overall, Mish Mash Mess is an engaging and entertaining episode that showcases Bryan's expertise and his team's ability to manage unexpected challenges. It's a testament to the transformative power of good design.
