Ep 6. Mantle Bedroom Mayhem

Rehab Addict: Detroit is a reality television show that follows Nicole Curtis, a master renovator and preservationist, as she restores homes in Detroit. In season 1 episode 6, titled Mantle Bedroom Mayhem, Nicole tackles the restoration of a bedroom with a beautiful fireplace mantle that has been covered up for years.

The episode begins with Nicole and her crew removing the drywall that was covering the mantle. They discover that the original brick has been painted over and decide to remove the paint to restore the original brick. Meanwhile, Nicole's project manager, Ryan, begins work on a new entry door for the bedroom. The original door has been painted shut and is beyond repair.

After the paint is stripped off the brick, Nicole begins to focus on the mantle. She decides to paint it white to give it a fresh and clean look. While she works on the mantle, Ryan finishes the new entry door, which is a beautiful glass door that will allow light to filter into the bedroom.

With the door installed, Nicole turns to the walls. She decides to create a unique accent wall by using reclaimed wood planks. It proves to be a time-consuming process, but the end result is worth it. The wood wall gives the bedroom warmth and texture that complements the brick fireplace.

Once the accent wall is complete, Nicole focuses on the flooring. She decides to restore the original hardwood floors which have been covered by layers of linoleum and carpet. After sanding and staining the floors, they look stunning and add to the overall character of the room.

Finally, it's time for the finishing touches. Nicole adds new light fixtures and a ceiling fan to the room. She also adds a decorative trim around the windows that really makes them pop. The finishing touch is the furniture – Nicole designs a custom bed and side tables that match the rustic feel of the room.

Overall, Mantle Bedroom Mayhem is a great episode of Rehab Addict: Detroit. It shows Nicole and her team's dedication to preserving historical charm in Detroit homes while also adding modern style and function. The restored bedroom is stunning and serves as a testament to the importance of restoration and preservation.
