The ambitious project took two and a half months to complete.

First-time homeowners transformed their 1800s Italianate home and color-drenched the dining room after extensive research to find a historically accurate color. They used a bold Roman Clay shade that they later found out was original to the house’s dining room, too — making it meant to be.

As a New York City renter, Sarah Ingle had to pick her battles when renovating her tiny bathroom. She left the frosted glass shower but added warm textures, colors, and unique wall decor.

This sad-looking cabinet got a delicate and sophisticated makeover.

This retro kitchen redo keeps the cabinets but switches the color scheme.

Jill Arden Lukeman, a Connecticut-based interior designer and owner of The Mariner and the Muse, transformed her 1920s cottage and turned the downstairs bathroom into a fun, “feminine” moment.

The wishlist for this redo included more storage, better lighting, a larger sink, better ventilation, and a new backsplash.

An interior curator put his bed in his loft’s cubby and color-drenched the space. By adding an IKEA PAX wardrobe, Kiron Thomas maximized his creative space and gave himself a separate, relaxing area to wind down each night.

This dining room was only used once a year — now it’s used daily as a family room because the owners recognized what their home needed.

The "After" puts a modern twist on pastel-tiled bathrooms of decades past.

Updating the surroundings allowed the bathroom's retro charm to come through.

A small rental backyard had several hiccups during renovation, but after being nearly doubled in size, it's the coziest garden escape. With trellises, an IKEA loveseat, and renter-friendly hacks.

The "after" will make you gasp.

“We transformed a yard with a chain-link fence and no privacy into an oasis,” says Rebecca Taylor, a food stylist, photographer, and content creator living in Ojai, California, with her partner, Max.
