This week on Home Town, Ben and Erin Napier are tasked with a renovation that’s a little bit Craftsman, a little bit Key West, and a whole lot Laurel. Their client, a military lawyer, is returning to his Mississippi roots to be closer to family, and he’s looking for a home that reflects his unique style. He’s drawn to the laid-back elegance of Ernest Hemingway’s Key West retreat, but with a distinctly Craftsman twist. It’s a challenge, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s the Napiers.
This isn’t just another renovation; it’s a family affair. The homeowner plans to work alongside his father, turning the project into a bonding experience. It adds another dimension to the story, transforming the house into a symbol of connection and shared effort. For Ben and Erin, this means more than just picking out paint colors and knocking down walls. They need to create a space that honors the homeowner’s vision while also being functional and welcoming for the entire family.
The focus this week is on the heart of the home: the kitchen. Expect a transformation that blends modern amenities with classic Craftsman details. They’ll also be creating a dedicated study, a sanctuary for the homeowner to relax and recharge. It’s all about finding that balance between practicality and personal expression, creating a space that feels both lived-in and luxurious.
