House Crashers Crashes Blog Cabin

House Crashers host Josh Temple is heading to Virginia to crash the 2011 Blog Cabin with Matt Blashaw! Josh has a massive transformation planned for the great room in the 1905 home, which sits on nearly 16 acres. The room has million-dollar views of the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding wetlands, so Josh concentrates on projects that won't compete with the spectacular natural backdrop. Using mostly reclaimed wood from the original home's framing, Josh and Matt build an accent table, bookshelves and a built-in bar. They also add a slate surround to the fireplace and wainscoting on the walls and create a moveable window seat. This incredible makeover is just the beginning of what will be a luxurious farmhouse for one lucky viewer.

Bath Goes to Blog Cabin

The Bath Crashers team is taking on Blog Cabin! Matt Muenster, along with Blog Cabin host Matt Blashaw, have the ultimate transformation in store for the master suite in this 1905 farmhouse, starting off with the master bath. The space will be a calm oasis, with a beautiful stand-alone tub set in a windowed alcove, a unique custom ceiling, a private water closet, soothing colors and a beadboard wall that captures the spirit of the historic home. Moving on to the bedroom, the guys anchor the room with a luxurious bed and a one-of-a-kind headboard. The team then repurposes a mantel from a fireplace, turning it into a tufted elegant headboard. And to top things off, a built-in reading nook is the perfect place to watch the sun set or read a favorite book. The lucky winners of this home will really feel like they've left the rest of the world behind when they step into this space.

Mega Dens Tops Blog Cabin

Yes, Virginia, there IS a Mega Den! Host and interior designer Anitra Mecadon and her sidekicks, the Scialabba brothers, meet Blog Cabin host Matt Blashaw in Virginia to trick out the crowning glory of the 2011 Blog Cabin - the third floor media and game rooms. For starters, the team reclaims weathered barn siding to build a 12-inch bench seat and a 9-inch copper-topped bar for the game room. Then, Anitra installs a one-of-a-kind rusted copper tile ceiling in the room. Anitra and Matt reveal voters' choices for the space, including the chosen gaming device, custom window frame and the people's choice for making late-night snacks. Plus, see how the team uses a fireplace mantel in an unconventional way. Then across the breezeway in the media room, the crew installs the viewers' choice of wall treatment and then brings a bit of the bay inside, combining aluminum boat fittings with more reclaimed materials for an ultra-sleek entertainment center. Plus, there's more fun and games with a 36-inch square table with a checkerboard painted on top, surrounded by a big, comfy sectional sofa. Game on!
