HGTV Battle on the Beach Episode 1 Recap | Kitchen Behind the Scenes

"The kitchen is the heart of the home."

If you caught episode one of HGTV's Battle on the Beach then you got to see a lot of fun and exciting things happen. I think the most exciting news was getting to learn who our mentor for the show is. If you missed it; spoiler alert; Steve and I are Team TY.

That's right; in episode one Ty Pennington revealed that he would be our mentor for the show and we were super excited to get to work alongside him.

From the very beginning, we clicked very well with Ty and I knew this would be a really fun matchup. Once our mentors were revealed; we had an opportunity to tour the houses and we finally got to see which house we'd be renovating.

The Before

Battle on the Beach Kitchen Remodel
Seeing the house for the first time; Steve and I realized just how much work we would be in for but we still remained optimistic that we could work our magic and bring home a win.

We immediately knew that we needed to shift the kitchen out of that corner hole without even talking to each other and could quickly envision the new layout for the kitchen. Here is a rendering of what I had envisioned the kitchen to look.

If you're familiar with renovations then you know that your initial plan isn't always what ends up as the final plan and that was true for this kitchen. I had created a rendering for what I wanted the kitchen to look like, but after talking to the engineer and realizing we had to move some things around, that quickly changed.

Once we felt good about the layout we got to work on bringing it to life.

Rebuilding the Kitchen

Rebuilding the kitchen was definitely a challenge with the time constraint. Typically, we would have the time to pick out everything ins  timely fashion but we didn’t have that luxury; so it was a rush to the finish line.

Check out the stone here if you’re interested.
