Mid-Century Austin Home on Sell This House

We don't have cable, so I have to rely on the Internet to get my house show fix. But for those of you who can watch things live, a mid-century Austin home is making an appearance on Sell This House: Extreme this weekend. You can get a sneak peek at the finished product on it's listing page. It's currently pending sale, so the show might live up to it's name.

From the show synopsis:
Jarrod and Laura are ready to move out of their small, mid-century home and find a bigger house to accommodate their growing family. But, their small, mid-century house is struggling to compete in Austin's strong housing market. Several houses in their neighborhood have sold in just the last month, but their place hasn't generated any buyer interest whatsoever. Design expert, Roger Hazard, has to come up with a plan to get this house sold. His first priority is taming the cartoonish colors that are scaring potential buyers off. And, our builder, Charlie Frattini, has his hands full with a demolition project that takes the kitchen all the way down to the studs. With only four days to complete a makeover that would normally take close to a month, this project goes down to the wire. Tanya Memme hosts.

  1. Hopefully that wasn't an original kitchen that they tore out!

    1. It would be sad if another mid-century kitchen was updated/destroyed for a home show. Don't they know there's charm in those old kitchens?

  2. I'm eager to see what color they painted it.

    1. I think that green is the new color. They put up some before photos online and it looks like it used to be red and yellow: http://www.aetv.com/sell-this-house/photos/#/sell-this-house/photos/before-photo-gallery/Episode8-Exterior-Before.jpg
