"AMERICAN DREAM BUILDERS"

"EPISODE 2"

03/30/2014 (08:00PM - 09:00PM) (Sunday) : AMERICAN DREAM BUILDERS HEADS TO PALM SPRINGS TO RENOVATE TWO SLEEK MIDCENTURY MODERN HOMES - NATE BERKUS HOSTS WITH EDDIE GEORGE AND MONICA PEDERSEN JOINING AS JUDGES - Two teams of designers will tackle sweeping makeovers for two mid-century Modern-style homes that are just a few doors down from one another in Palm Springs, Calif. This week the focus is on bringing a "dream home" to reality. The contestants are challenged to create a stunning "outdoor oasis" and, in the midst of things, must deal with a massive rainstorm that causes delays and frustrations. Team Red (headed by Chicago-based designer Lukas Machnik) focuses on creating a tranquil master bedroom, an inviting indoor/outdoor space and they also take on several creative special projects, including a chicken-wire light fixture and a metal sculpture. The team struggles with time management and spends too much time on the sculptures. Team Blue (headed by New York-based designer Andrew Flesher) focuses on the front exterior and the overall interior color scheme. Sparks fly when Team Blue designer Elaine Griffin chooses a color for her living room that everyone else dislikes for the rest of the home's color scheme. After the judges review the homes, Berkus invites a local "neighborhood council" to vote on which house they feel is the best makeover. In the end, one designer from the losing team will be sent home. TV-PG L
