Ep 3. If The House Is A-Round Rockin

Sell This House! is a home improvement and renovation series that focuses on helping homeowners to sell their properties by giving them a complete makeover, both aesthetically and functionally. In season 10, episode 3, entitled If The House Is A-Round Rockin, the show takes on a unique challenge of renovating a house that poses an unusual design challenge.

The episode revolves around a home located in the scenic city of Round Rock, known for its vibrant music scene and uniquely designed residential structures. The house in question is situated at the foothills of a large rock formation, which renders its design a peculiar challenge. With a circular structure and limited rectangular spaces, the house’s layout posed an interesting challenge to the renovation experts.

Host Tanya Memme, designer Roger Hazard, and renovation expert Charlie Frattini take on the mammoth task of transforming this four-bedroom, three-bathroom house into an inviting and functional living space that any potential buyer would be intrigued to invest in. The main focus is to create functional living areas while maximizing the stunning views of Round Rock.

The renovation process begins with the team assessing the current state of the home. They note that the circular layout of the house presents unique design opportunities and challenges in equal measure. The team comes up with an inspiration board from which they derive their ideas for revamping the living and dining areas. Designer Roger Hazard develops a nautical theme for the home, with the aim of making the house appear homely while at the same time maximizing the use of available spaces.

With a budget of $35,000, the renovation team undertakes a series of modifications that will transform the house starting with the living area. To maximize the view of Round Rock, the team removes all unnecessary features in the living room. The team removes bulky furniture, wall hangings, and the carpet to reveal the beautiful wooden floor beneath. In its place, they add simple and tasteful furniture, including a comfortable sofa set and a stunning glass coffee table that fits neatly into the circle design.

Next, the team focuses on the kitchen area, which needs a complete overhaul to give it the modern and functional feel that buyers are looking for. They replace all the kitchen appliances with energy-efficient options while adding new granite countertops and a stylish backsplash for a sleek look. They also replace the original sink and tap with modern ones that match the overall designs.

With the living and kitchen areas renovated, the team then turns their attention to the bedrooms. They work to create both functional and stylish areas that maximize the available space. The team adds statement lamps, paintings, and mirrors that accentuate the circular spaces while creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They also install new curtains and a fresh coat of paint on the walls to create an inviting environment.

In the bathrooms, the team performs a series of modifications that give them a modern look. They update the plumbing, replace the bathroom tiles, and install new light fixtures that give the space a luxurious feel. Designer Roger Hazard also incorporates nautical-themed elements such as themed towels and shower curtains into the bathrooms to keep up with the theme of the house.

Overall, Sell This House! season 10 episode 3, If The House Is A-Round Rockin, highlights the show's ability to showcase the renovation process for unique houses that pose challenging design problems. The episode demonstrates the team's ability to work within budget constraints while creating an inviting and functional living space that maximizes the home's unique features. Through the different renovations, the team transforms the house, making it an ideal investment opportunity for any potential buyer.
