전체 에피소드

Blaze and Palmer arrive in Sicily and finally see the house they bought sight unseen. Its condition is worse than they expected. They begin with a neglected bedroom and plan a luxurious Sicilian-inspired retreat. With Thomson’s guidance, the pair tackle demolition, plastering and painting. They also restore original details by hand. Trips to local markets and Palermo help them source fabrics and develop their vision. However, mounting pressure and constant surprises threaten the first room reveal.

After completing the bedroom, the pair move to one of the home’s biggest challenges: the kitchen. Crumbling walls, structural discoveries and a poor layout force them to reconsider the original plan. An architect’s assessment and further demolition reveal serious problems, but they also expose new possibilities. Blaze and Palmer travel across Sicily for handmade tiles, marble and authentic finishes. The region’s food culture also shapes the room. A visit to a traditional cheese factory with their new friend Francesca provides another link to local life. Back on site, flooring delays and a late tap problem put the schedule at risk.

The renovation changes course when the team learns that half of the house must be demolished. Blaze and Palmer respond by turning the ruined section into a Sicilian walled garden. Mediterranean outdoor living becomes the new inspiration. Visits to olive oil farms and village celebrations bring local ideas into the design. The episode follows a major setback becoming a fresh opportunity. Even so, construction difficulties and the emotional strain of the decision continue to test the pair.

The focus moves to the lounge room and bathroom. Working with Thomson and a local architect, Blaze and Palmer strip the walls back and uncover hidden arches, original stonework and further problems. They search for handmade ceramics and vintage furniture while trying to preserve the building’s history. A visit to the seaside town of Cefalù offers another view of Sicilian life. Back at the house, setbacks and design disagreements raise the pressure before the final reveal.

The team creates an elegant second bedroom, a powder room and a landing. With time running short, each design decision becomes more important. A statement chandelier from Palermo becomes one of the room’s key pieces. Meanwhile, the small powder room creates a very different practical challenge. Blaze and Palmer also visit natural hot springs and a local patisserie. They bake a cake for the builders before returning to the growing installation list.
