Sell This House Season 2 Episode 10 Madison, WI - Janet & Steve Buechner
- October 3, 2004
In Sell This House season 2 episode 10, the crew heads to Madison, WI to help Janet and Steve Buechner sell their home. With the house sitting on the market for over a year, the couple is desperate for a change to help attract potential buyers.
The home has a unique, open-concept layout with a stunning outdoor area complete with a pool, but the design and cluttered furnishings are not resonating with buyers. The Sell This House team, led by host Tanya Memme and designer Roger Hazard, begins by assessing the home's shortcomings and devising a plan to increase its appeal.
One of the main challenges of the Buechners' home is that the living and dining areas are open to each other, leading to a confusing flow and a lack of defined spaces. Roger steps in to create a new layout that separates the two areas, creating a cozy living room and a separate dining space. He also adds pops of color and texture to the decor to make the home feel more inviting.
Another issue with the home is the amount of furniture and clutter filling the space. Tanya works with the couple to declutter and remove unnecessary items, allowing the home's unique features to shine. She also helps the Buechners stage the home to make it feel more spacious and welcoming. The team even goes as far as to remove a huge, outdated entertainment center that was dominating the living room.
Outside, the team tackles the pool area, which was cluttered with pool toys and lounge chairs. They tidy up the space and add some comfortable seating and tropical plants to create a relaxing oasis that enhances the home's overall appeal.
Throughout the episode, tensions run high as the homeowners struggle with letting go of their personal preferences and trusting the team's design choices. However, in the end, the Sell This House crew's efforts pay off as the updated home attracts potential buyers and receives positive feedback from real estate agents.
Sell This House season 2 episode 10 is a must-watch for anyone interested in learning about home staging and design. The team's creative solutions and attention to detail serve as a valuable lesson for homeowners looking to sell their own properties.
