A walk through the castle reveals decades of damage and neglect that will be a restoration challenge for Chip and Jo, but the landmark's rich history inspires their determination to preserve the original architecture.
Jo develops her future vision for the castle with her styling team and commissions custom artisan pieces; Chip discovers new challenges regarding what can be salvaged and restored to original glory, and what is too far gone.
Jo develops new paint colors inspired by the castle's one-hundred-year history, and she and Chip make big decisions about interior flooring and tile, as well as the exterior stone walls, that dramatically advance renovations.
Unexpected water damage is a costly setback for Chip and Jo, but the installation of beautifully restored wood pieces and reclaimed tile from Europe start to restore the original grandeur of the castle.
In the home stretch of construction, Chip and Jo focus on perfecting the details of the castle; a design issue in the kitchen spurs Chip to insist on a last-minute change to fix countertops and windows; Jo gets a surprise at the Silos.
Chip and Jo finish a fully restored three-story castle originally built in the early 1900s; they reveal the final design and share what it took to blend a vintage sensibility with modern comfort.
