House

Following a divorce, Leslie craved a home where she could start a new chapter and put down roots. This house in Portland, Oregon, checked all her boxes and then some.

Yvonne and Michael were undaunted by the amount of work needed to renovate this 1940s-era house that came with a bland palette of browns and beiges.

There are street art-inspired murals on walls and furniture, a pink cow print fridge, and more in this interior decorator and artist’s Louisville house.

Lydia and Matt rent this Echo Park house for $3,600 a month and have packed it with color, art, plants, and personality.

“We’re both creative souls, and this house has become a canvas for our combined style,” homeowner Amanda Oleri says.

See inside John and Claire Champion’s Chester home they’ve remodeled for six years, updating it with tons of DIY color and pattern.

Kirsten and Geoff have been renting this house in Oakland for two years, and originally fell in love with the hardwood floors, unique cabinetry, and awesome location.

After a substantial renovation, Marjolein Rombout’s home has “transformed from a musty dwelling untouched since the seventies into a delightful blend of freshness, modernity, and newness, all while paying homage to the original elements of a 1930s house.”

Liz Kallembach and her husband spent seven years DIYing this old farmhouse and filling it with vintage finds.

Salma and Stuart Chatto transformed their 1059-square-foot U.K. home with color and DIYs — all on a budget.
