Location: Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom
Size: 905 square feet
Years lived in: 13 years; owned

For most of its life, Sarah's South London terraced home had a traditional two-up, two-down layout. But after 12 years of ownership, Sarah decided that the arrangement wasn't working for her anymore. She craved more space, more light, and a more contemporary feel. Rather than move to a different home, Sarah opted to renovate and extend — and she knew just who to call for reinforcements.

I can't tell you how easy this project is. Seriously, my bloodhound could do it. This is also one of those things you can do to make yourself happy as a renter, but that won't piss your landlord off. After removing it, just keep the old light and put it back up before you move out.

Name: Heather & Katherine
Location: Duplex Nation - Austin, Texas
Size: 2,000 square feet
Years lived in: Heather bought the house as a duplex in 1999. We converted it from a duplex into a single-family home in 2009 – 2010.

Heather and Katherine took a 1948 home in the middle of Duplex Nation— a small community of about 60 duplexes in central Austin— and turned it into the modern, open space of their dreams. Proving even cinder-block construction can be remodeled, the home now has enough space for them to relax, cook, and entertain. We got the House Call back in May, and now we're finally ready to give you the full tour Apartment Therapy-style — with details, pets, and even a dinner party.
