Leave It to Bryan Season 4 Episode 19 Reviving the Roost
- January 19, 2015
Leave It to Bryan is a Canadian reality TV series that follows homeowners as they embark on renovation projects with the help of expert contractor Bryan Baeumler. In season 4 episode 19 titled "Reviving the Roost," Bryan is tasked with reviving a 1960s bungalow located in a historic neighborhood in Burlington, Ontario.
The homeowners, Tom and Rachel, purchased the bungalow for its location and charming features, but the outdated layout and design are in dire need of a renovation. Bryan and his team start by gutting the interior of the home to create a more open and functional space for the family of four.
The first challenge is the kitchen, which is small, cramped and isolated from the rest of the living areas. Bryan takes down the separating walls, expands the kitchen and adds a center island for better flow and functionality. New cabinets and countertops modernize the space, giving it a fresh and updated look.
The bathroom is next on the list, and it's in rough shape. Old fixtures, dated tile and a cramped layout make it a priority for renovation. Bryan's team gives the bathroom a significant facelift by updating the fixtures, adding a new vanity and installing modern tile. They also create a separate tub and shower area, which is a major improvement for the homeowners.
One of the most significant challenges in the renovation is the lack of storage space. The homeowners have been using the basement as a storage room, but it's cluttered and disorganized. Bryan gets creative by building custom cabinetry in the basement that provides ample storage for the family's belongings. He also remodels the laundry room, which is located in the basement, creating a more efficient and streamlined space.
The final challenge is the exterior of the home, which is dated and in need of new landscaping. Bryan's team adds new features such as a porch that stretches across the front of the home, a new entranceway, and new landscaping that adds curb appeal and value to the home.
Throughout the renovation, Bryan encounters several challenges that require creative solutions. For example, the house's original hardwood floors are in good condition, but they're mismatched in color and lack continuity. Bryan's team decides to refinish the floors in a natural hue, which creates a uniform look throughout the home.
Overall, the renovation of the 1960s bungalow is a massive success, giving the homeowners a modern and functional space that they can enjoy for decades to come. Leave It to Bryan season 4 episode 19, "Reviving the Roost," showcases the creativity, expertise, and attention to detail that Bryan and his team bring to each project.
