American Rehab: Restoring Victoria

Shalina Joy commits to a massive restoration on a Mediterranean Revival home in Newark, New Jersey. With the floors of the master suite collapsing beneath her feet, Shalina will give it her all but she may be in over her head.

Shalina is ready to take on the dark, dreary and dated living room. But will years of bad renovations and a brick beast of a fireplace keep her from bringing this room back to its former bright and elegant glory?

Shalina's historic Mediterranean Revival house was once the jewel of the block, but now this worn out belle of the ball needs a massive facelift. The swampy pool also needs serious attention. Can Shalina reveal the classic charm?

Shalina faces a colossal challenge when she tries to make her cramped kitchen into a modern space. She tears away layers of past renovations only to find crumbling plaster, holes in the ceiling and walls ready to collapse.

Shalina's backyard is filled with illegal structures, crumbling steps, and overgrown vegetation. Using creative ingenuity and old school technology, Shalina wrangles this mess into a beautiful living space for her family.

Only one room is left to redo, but money's tight, time's running out and this not-so-formal dining room needs a lot of work. It's all hands on deck for Shalina Joy's crew as they race against the clock to make this room sparkle.
