We needed an all purpose office/studio for a telecommuting, sewing and working with stained glass with other hobbies in mind. Our house has two bedrooms up on the main level and two downstairs with a family room. We chose the second bedroom upstairs (the other is the master bedroom to convert into this all purpose room. There is still plenty of room to add a twin/daybed or bunkbed for resale value. The extrodinary amount of storage allows for all the small appliances from the kitchen to be kept for easy access along with hobby and office gear. The granite countertop will always look beautiful and can't be harmed by soldering irons razor blades and other hobby tools. This investment takes care of many needs. It is also wired for DirecTv and laptops work via wireless connection from another office downstairs.

I went from a traditional 80's floral decor bath of green and pink complete with a red wainscoting below the green flowered wallpaper to a serene black and white Art Deco theme based on a $20 light I purchased from eBay!

This is THE KITCHEN!!! I am a happily married mother of one who has a completely non functional, unappealing, dated kitchen and no means to improve it. We purchased our home about 1 1/2 years ago, and spent all of our savings on new windows, doors, a deck and siding but ran out of money when I was laid off in August. There is no counter space, no cabinet space, a tiny dated stove and refrigerator, uneven bulging floors and NO ELECTRICAL OUTLETS for our appliances! Our cabinets are 45 years old, rotting and cramped. We have an unfinished open space where the laundry/utility room should be with a lop-sided cabinet acting as a "pantry" and all open fixtures. Very dangerous for our 4 year old little girl to be around. Our tiles are comimg up and our walls are uneven. Our plan was to keep upgrading our house however we ran out of money and need help. We can't even have family over for the holidays or our daughter's birthday because of the poor design of our space and the overall ugliness. It's just very dissappointing.

This is our dining area. In it's previous life, the room was decked out in dark 1970's paneling and heavy thermal drapes. The room was lit from a very dim vintage tole floral candelier. We took the dark paneling down and repaired the walls. We painted the room in a rich yellow. Tossed the heavy drapes and replaced them with lightweight panels. Finally, the candelier was replaced with a more contemporary fixture.

There was so much done to the interior of this home, I really wish I took more before pictures. We wanted everything to be clean, neutral and move-in ready so we can sell it as fast as possible for the most bang for our buck.

Kitchen remodel included stainless steel appliances an over-sized split-level island complete with pull-outs and wine fridge. Also features two-tone cabinets up-lights and down/ambient lighting. I've uploaded several pictures of different aspects of the kitchen so take a look at them as well. Your comments - and ratings - are kindly appreciated and I do my best to promptly answer any questions I receive. If you like this you might also like my other spaces. Thanks!

Looks like it hasn't been touched since it was built in 1895. Ok ok...the previous owners DID upgrade it with modern conveniences (ONE accessible electrical outlet; plumbing. They decorated w/ a palette of greens & sunflowers. Likes: The drain board sink; vintage stove; storage space; original hardwood floors. Dislikes: colors/sunflowers; no outlets (microwave in laundry countertops unsecured (& green pegboard wall on w/h closet; no range hood; & walk-in pantry larger than kitchen.

This was a porch, but it was converted (poorly! into a laundry room. It has carpet thrown (not installed over the original decking, a beadboard wall painted an awful shade of blue, rickety shelves, a 3-D electrical box, and a door that doesn't exactly keep out the bugs... The roof catches debris, as well, because it was done with no thought to the original roofline of the house.

I made this room for my daughter. I refinished things we had or that people gave us. I found the changing table at a garage sale for $5...it sure was ugly before!! So the room really cost next to nothing and I am pretty proud of how it turned out. I wanted it to be a soft comfortable room fit for a little princess, and she sure seems to like it!!!

Late 70's familyroom that is long and narrow 27ftx12ft...There are no windows in the room.We entertain on almost a weekly basis and seating is hard because it is so narrow and there is a storage door in a odd spot on the wall. Trying to find funiture that fits the room and doorway entranceis hard. The orginal paneling was a very, very dark brown(matched the door then we painted one night and no help...Still blahh...
The ceciling has circles in the texture and to top everything there very limited outlets. My office area is on the side of the room that has three walls and 1 outlet...

Our kitchen has a awkward cabinet layout with limited usable counter space. We have one outlet near the fridge and one on the other side of the oven. That's it, just two outlets in that huge space!! A small cabinet in the corner is REMOVABLE. Who thought of that one. There is a row of cabinets, with some counter space by the back door that is not really usable. The pantry is nice for storing cleaning supplies, but not really functional for the kitchen space. There is a ton of storage, but not really functional they way the kitchen is currently designed.

I have a 60s style bathroom. Only enough room for toilet, bath/shower and vanity. I have gutted out the whole room except for toilet and sink. I had a guy who was going to help me but backed out. My demo is demolished. Here are a few pictures of the current look of my bathroom. I can only go up. I am now stuck with a demolished bathroom. Needs up to date codes of electrical units and piping.

Kitchen was 20 yrs. old, minimal cabinet integrity and appliances were dying. Friends of ours are custom home builders that weren't that busy due to the economy so they did our remodel for us.

This was my first house and knew when I bought it that I had big plans for the kitchen. Here are the before and after pictures. I guess the new owners like it because it sold in 3 days! :-
