I'm excited to share with you the "behind the scenes" of Nashville Flipped episodes 6 & 7. Don't forget to tune in tonight for the last two episodes of the season at 9 p.m. CST on DIY Network. Here we go:
Nashville Flipped Episode 6- Minimal Madison Mansion
In this episode we tackled a really small house in Madison- only 1164 square feet. It was thought to be one of the first "spec" homes in the area since it was built at a time businesses were just starting to open in Madison.
Since we didn't know the history of the family who had originally owned the home we decided to create an All-American cottage style for this home. Because we were short on square footage on the inside we decided to make the outdoor space become another living space. We maximized the backyard and increased the potential for parties and entertaining large groups or families.
Though I'm not one to work from a theme, I think that the subtle nods to the red, white, and blue were just enough to give the little home big personality and charm.
Nashville Flipped Episode 7- Germantown Gem
This home near Germantown was the first home on the entire street to be renovated- and there was a sign in the window that condemned it as "uninhabitable." The crazy marble design on the front of the house was something I've never seen, and multiple walls had been added over time, creating tight and confusing spaces. “Bad features, bad lighting, bad everything.”
Troy always opens up rooms as much as possible to create flow and larger livings spaces- which is invaluable to modern buyers.
I really love the sentimental touches we added like the wallcovering we had reproduced for the parlor. Entering through the heavy wood door into that parlor truly feels like stepping back in time. I added modern white chairs and brass accents to update the look.
Most people love the charm of an old house, but truly want the functionality and amenities of a new home, so I'm happy we kept the charm of these two "makeovers," but gave future homeowners the bright, open, and beautiful spaces they are looking for!
