Ep 7. Modern vs. Creole Cottage

In Texas Flip N' Move season 8 episode 7, titled "Modern vs. Creole Cottage," viewers are taken on a journey as two teams compete to flip a house in one of Texas' historic districts. The teams consist of talented and experienced house flippers, each with their unique set of skills and style.

The competition begins as the teams meet their client, a homeowner interested in selling his property - an old Creole cottage in Houston, Texas. The teams have a week to renovate the house and increase its value before putting it on the market. The teams are given a budget of $55,000 each.

Team One, the Modern team, is spearheaded by Randy Martin, an experienced house flipper who has been in the business for over twenty years. He is joined by his daughter, Lindsey, who helps him with the design elements of their projects. The Modern team has a reputation for creating sleek, modern homes that appeal to buyers with a taste for contemporary design.

Team Two, the Creole Cottage team, is led by Casey Hester, another experienced house flipper who has spent his career salvaging historical homes and repurposing them for modern use. Casey is joined by his nephew, Catrina, who is skilled in carpentry and woodworking. The Creole Cottage team has made a name for themselves by preserving the historical integrity of the homes they work on while adding modern touches.

As the teams begin to work on the house, they each discover unique challenges that they must overcome. The Modern team decides to remove the chimney, which is in bad shape, to give the house a more modern look. However, they discover that the chimney is vital to the house's structure and must be replaced. Meanwhile, the Creole Cottage team faces the challenge of restoring the house's historical integrity while still making it attractive to modern buyers.

Throughout the episode, viewers get an in-depth look at the renovation process, including the teamwork and creative problem-solving necessary to turn a rundown house into a stylish modern home. Both teams work tirelessly to complete the renovation, making tough decisions about what to keep, what to remove, and how to improve the overall functionality of the space.

At the end of the episode, the teams reveal their finished projects to the client and a panel of judges. Both houses have their unique style and charm - the Modern team's house is stylish and modern, while the Creole Cottage team's house is packed with historical character and charm.

The client ultimately decides which house he wants to put on the market, and the winning team walks away with the prize money. Through a combination of creative vision, hard work, and ingenuity, the teams successfully turned an old house into a potential love story for new homeowners.
