The remaining designers – Chris, Carmeon, Justin and Eli – compete against one another in this week’s episode to transform their design labs into spaces inspired by famous TV kitchens. The challenge specifies that each TV kitchen needs to be re-interpreted in a practical, real-life layout. The designers are welcomed to incorporate color and signature items, but must also include three specific nods to the inspiration space.

Justin chose to design a kitchen modeled after the 1990s sitcom Sister, Sister, which starred the Mowry twins. The floorplan accommodates a large dining table for the family with comfortable slip-covered dining chairs and a contemporary chandelier. In the likeness of the show kitchen, he didn’t stray far from light colors and opted to have white walls and gray and gold accents.

A kitchen wouldn’t be a Sister, Sister kitchen without a large island. In the show, the family often congregated around the island, so Justin’s contemporary upgrades take that into account. Waterfall countertops and counter-height seating elevate the concept of the island to modern-day design.

Gold lights and cabinet hardware are a contemporary step above the inspiration kitchen, but the glass inset cabinet doors and the roman shade over the window are direct nods to the show’s original design. Justin demonstrated how in modern day, those features can still work in a new space.
