Motel Makeover

April and Sarah redo the residence at their lakeside motel by reviving a drab kitchen and a fully exposed, wood-paneled whirlpool tub in the bedroom.

Over budget and behind schedule, the duo and project manager Courtney design double rooms with a bold retro feel - perfect for a girls trip.

With romantic couples in mind, the team nails down the king bedroom palette; eager restaurant partners show up, but then the COVID-19 pandemic begins to unfold.

Terrazzo tiles and neon signs spruce up the check-in area; later, the squad launches the website and takes reservations to kick-start the cash flow.

Fresh paint, picnic tables and a reconfigured patio get the restaurant ready for service, but a leak threatens the grand opening.

Deck chairs and umbrellas are on hand, yet the pool remains unfinished; wet weather looms as the team tries to keep it together before the doors open.
