Ep 9. Jack and Jill Suite

Rehab Addict season 6 episode 9 titled "Jack and Jill Suite" takes viewers on another exciting and dramatic home renovation journey. This episode is all about renovating two separate bedrooms and transforming them into a Jack and Jill suite.

The episode starts with Nicole Curtis, the host and renovator, visiting an old house in a neighborhood that she has been eyeing for quite some time. She goes into the old house to check out the interior to ensure that it will be a good opportunity for her to work her magic on it. As usual, Nicole is impressed with the beautiful old house, but she sees the challenges that come with an abandoned property that needs major renovation.

Nicole decides to renovate two bedrooms, which were previously separate, and transform them into a Jack and Jill suite. The two bedrooms are in the front of the house, which is why she decided to make them into a suite. She wants to add a door between the rooms to create access and additional privacy between the rooms. She also wants to ensure that the suite has enough storage space and that it is designed in a way that makes it functional for a family.

The first step in the renovation process is removing the old drywall from the rooms. Nicole and her team have experienced a lot of issues with mold in the past, so she takes the responsibility of this process to ensure that the crew knows how to safely handle any issues that arise with mold. Once this is done, they take all the old plumbing and electrical wiring out of the room and replace it with new wiring and pipes.

One of the significant challenges that the crew faces is that the bathroom connecting the two bedrooms is in the middle and needs to be relocated to the back of the suite. Nicole decides to move it to the back of the house and places it in the space where the old kitchen used to be. She and her team then begin the process of framing in the new bathroom space.

Nicole's creativity comes to life as they begin creating storage space for the suite. She first decides to add a built-in closet in the shared bathroom space, which will serve as a linen closet for both bedrooms. She also makes a large storage space in one of the bedrooms by creating an alcove that will serve as a bookshelf and storage space.

The bathroom renovation in the suite is the most complex part of the project as Nicole needs to move all the plumbing and fixtures to make the layout work effectively. They install a new bathtub and add a tiled shower. She also decides to add a vintage sink that fits well with the old-world charm of the house. Nicole finishes it off with a painted stencil treatment on the bathroom floor.

Once the suite is nearing completion, Nicole adds some finishing touches, such as light fixtures and hardware that match the vintage feel of the house. She is pleased with the outcome of the Jack and Jill suite renovation and can't wait for the new owners to move in.

In the end, the "Jack and Jill Suite" episode of Rehab Addict season 6 is one packed with creativity, teamwork, and exceptional renovation ingenuity. The episode showcases Nicole's talent and how she can transform any old house into a masterpiece with her expertise.
