Our coastal 1925 cottage had been added onto several times. Unfortunately the kitchen was pieced together with shotty workmanship and bits and pieces of left over materials. The entire floor structure, electrical, plumbing and windows had to be replaced which added quite a bit to our estimated costs. 4 months later we have a warm, cozy, rustic space with just enough modern appeal. Truly a place now to gather with family and friends. On to the next project......

I tell my husband almost everyday how much I love my new kitchen - which he "built" for me! I had the typical 60's or 70's kitchen which only had enough space for one cook and where you felt isolated from the rest of the home. We demolished a cinder block wall that kept me divided and lonely from the dining/living area and created this fabulous Great Room. Now, when we have gatherings, everyone always sits around the huge island in the center. Couldn't be more thrilled!!!!!

I love sitting in my living room. People have referred to it as warm cozy inviting etc. I attribute it to the generous amount of wood (mahogany ebony Brazilian cherry American cherry used and the natural stone fireplace.

This project was a complete home renovation. This living room was outdated with green carpet and small sliding doors that led to a sun porch which made the space feel very dark. We added a wall of doors to the sun porch which brought in natural light. We also added a hallway with built-ins and a powder room that leads to the kitchen. This really enhanced the traffic pattern throughout the first floor. The stair case was also completely rebuilt.

This room is the first one you see when you enter my house so I wanted it to be beautiful. I love chandeliers, and I love dark woods. I went monochromatic and started with the chair fabric, then went on from there. I know the chandelier is too low, but I hung it before I added the crystals and they were very long!! I just haven't had the desire to move everything and get it raised... maybe soon :

Old on the outside, new on the inside: 1884 rowhouse in a city neighborhood, updated on a budget with simple materials and lots of DIY. It's a small home, but high ceilings and plenty of built-ins make it feel open and comfortable. I've kept things pretty neutral because I like to change the feeling of the space with fresh ART...

It's a good thing RMS doesn't have smellevision! This dated house was occupied by tenants for many years, and needed to be totally rennovated from floor to ceiling before putting it on the market. We removed the 70's railing,scraped the popcorn celings,retextured the walls before painting,added crown moulding,new wood floors,gave the fireplace a complete makeover,and really changed the whole feel of the house by opening up a wall with an archway. We couldn't be more thrilled as it sold the same day,with 15 offers and for $55k over asking price! We're still in shock!

A remodeled 80's kitchen. We replaced the window, made much larger to enjoy the view, replaced old floor tile with cypress flooring and removed a couple of walls to make area larger. The old cabinets were replaced, new appliances and new lighting. The island is two old Eastern Airline ticket booths and the top of an old drafting table, the island is not completely finished. The walls are bead-board painted with black milk paint. The ceiling is covered with recycled cedar paneling from downstairs. The design was done by myself, no fancy designers... hope I made no serious mistakes!! Let me know what ya think.

This dining room had an 80's vibe before-now it has more of a casual elegance Tommy Bahama feel. All new furniture with hand carved banana leaf details new lighting including a new granite pendant to replace the old chandelier. The crown moulding finishes it off.

We transformed this space from a dark and dreary room into this light and bright space we want to spend all our time in. We painted the paneling and the ceiling and painted the trim work and beams white for a crisp contrast. The hardwood floors add a lot to this room.

In the world of high tech,everyone wants a big screen Hd tv.Well we like our bigscreen projection tv just fine for now but wanted to make it look more modern.The first room we have decided to tackle in our 1950 Cape fixer is the media room.My husband is the guy I think can do it all and even though he has never made anything like this,I knew he could.We took out a full closet and set the bigscreen on a pedestal.He then built a cabinet around it and like magic,the back dissappeared and it has a new look.Please give us your imput.This is the first cabinet has ever made.Took about 4 weeks but we are pleased.Plus if he has some decent feedback,It just may give him the motivation to make me those kitchen cabinets I want.Thanks!!!!

We bought an old farmhouse with 5 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs, and decided to turn one of the small bedrooms into a hall bath with a laundry area attached. Channeling my recent trip to Europe with the finishes: Jerusalem gold tumbled marble 12x12 floor tiles set on the diagonal, oil-rubbed bronze wall mounted fixtures, rustic stacked stone, and dark mahogany cabinetry combined gave me the modern Italian/Spanish vibe I was going for. I fell in love with this rustic mosaic stone tile, but it was so expensive, so I used a little as a back splash. Also splurged on a custom vanity as we had an odd sized space and I wanted to make use of every inch.
Keeping it clean with white sink basins, but chose to do top mounted bowls to give a nod to the old-fashioned charm of nightstand wash bowls. Kept costs down by ordering the basins and fixtures at online outlets, mirrors and hardware at closeout, and pendants from big-box stores. My awesome man did all the tile work, although he said he will never do the tile on a diagonal himself again! ;-]

Ever since my dad and sister died, mom has been alone. This year, my husband and I drew a picture of what we needed to do with our home to accommodate my mom. We saw LaCatina doors on "the brothers" show and had them installed from the expanded living-room to the screened in porch. We removed the half wall in the kitchen, moved the laundry-room upstairs and
put in a first floor master bedroom and bathroom. Instead of a large retaining wall, he made two with 3ft span, so mom and I will can veggies from our 50ft garden. As a treat, he created a floor to ceiling stone front fire place with reclaimed oak, a beautiful place to sit in the evening.
