Summary

After learning about the Boise Murder House, Alyssa and Hadley are joined by interior designer Mikel Welch, who shares his first-hand experiences renovating infamous homes as one of the hosts on Roku’s Murder House Flip. The trio discusses some of the scariest things Welch and his co-host have come across inside the homes, a homeowner’s ghost story that still gives him chills today, and the biggest challenges of filming a home makeover show. Plus, the designer reveals how he became part of Drew Barrymore’s “Drew's Crew,” the surprising website that helped launch his career, and the design trends he wishes would die.
