Ep 4. European Farmhouse

Nate and Jeremiah by Design is a home renovation show that follows the life and design partnership of married couple Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent. The show focuses on Nate and Jeremiah's ability to help homeowners turn their houses into homes that reflect their personal style.

In European Farmhouse, the fourth episode of season two, Nate and Jeremiah take on a daunting project. A couple wants to transform their mid-century modern house into a European farmhouse-inspired home. The couple's current home is dark, cold, and feels nothing like a cozy farmhouse. They reach out to Nate and Jeremiah, hoping the couple's expertise and design skills can transform their home into the farmhouse oasis they have always wanted.

In this episode, Nate and Jeremiah tackle a variety of challenges. First, they must figure out how to turn this dark, cold mid-century modern home into a cozy European farmhouse-inspired retreat. They decide that they will need to add touches of shabby chic design elements to the house to achieve the desired look. Additionally, the couple's current home has a dated kitchen that needs a complete overhaul. This project will require not only a complete aesthetic redesign but also a functional remodel that incorporates modern technology and appliances.

Once the couple has given Nate and Jeremiah the go-ahead, the couple begins gutting their outdated home and replacing it with modern farmhouse designs that are both functional and chic. They start by rebuilding walls and adding windows, bringing more natural light into the once-dark home. Nate and Jeremiah then tackle the outdated and cramped kitchen, completely restructuring the space. They design a kitchen overhaul that includes new appliances, a marble countertop and backsplash, and abundant natural light, creating a modern but timeless aesthetic.

One of the most exciting parts of the episode is the transformation of the main living space. The living room felt cold, dark, and uninviting, with a cluttered layout. Nate and Jeremiah quickly realized the issue, opting for a layout that is more open and inviting. They add a custom-built mantelpiece, elegant furniture, and a cozy reading nook with built-in bookcases. The room now opens up into the kitchen and dining area, creating a perfect space for entertaining.

Throughout the episode, the viewers see Nate and Jeremiah's exceptional sense of style and design. They understand what will work in the space, what materials and pieces to use, and how to make those elements blend together seamlessly. They work tirelessly to find the perfect materials, furniture, and decor to fit the European farmhouse aesthetic.

As the project nears completion, the homeowners are visibly delighted with the outcome. The once cold and uninviting home is now warm, cozy, and utterly chic. Nate and Jeremiah have transformed their space into the European farmhouse-inspired home that the couple always dreamed of.

Overall, European Farmhouse is an excellent episode because it offers a unique renovation challenge for Nate and Jeremiah. The couple must transform a dark, mid-century modern home into a warm and cozy European farmhouse-inspired retreat while still ensuring that it is functional and practical. As usual, Nate and Jeremiah rise to the challenge, taking the house to another level and making it a dream home.
