FRENCH DOORS invite you to RELAX in the COZY, SUN-FILLED room while you enjoy the view and gather with friends. The STAINED WOOD CEILING and FLOORING add the beauty of natural wood and warm tones. This room, from the Batavia, a Mark Wyatt HOUSE PLAN, is designed to appear as an ENCLOSED PORCH, yet it is COMPLETELY CLIMATE-CONTROLLED and that makes enjoying the view all the better - in any weather.

Amber works from home and was sacrificing a dining room for her home office. By utilizing the double wide closet space in her guest bedroom, she now walks into her home without the reminder of work, and can have guests over for a meal in her dining room (dining room reveal coming soon). The walls were freshly painted Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams. This gives the room a fresh, clean look and also adds contrast to the beige carpet. Amber had her homework assignments cut out for her as she had to do some major purging in her throw all guest room. Once she started letting go, she was on a roll and continually surprised me as she cleaned out closets throughout the house. One dresser was filled with cds, dvds, books, albums, scrap-booking materials; items taking up precious real estate in her life that she didn't even know were there. There really wasn't a storage problem after-all, she was just holding on to a collection of things that no longer served her. Each time I would visit, and her space would become more open, I could see the weight lifting off her and her self love building. Amber had a recent breakup with her boyfriend and this makeover helped her not only focus on making a home sanctuary for herself, but helped her let go of the pains of the past and focus on the exciting future ahead. At one point when we were moving sofas in the living room (which we will also reveal soon), we found an ex's flip-flop. We were figuratively and literally sweeping away the past. Editing your home and your life makes room for your future; for new people and things. We are so happy to finally reveal the room to you! We can't wait to unveil the rest of Amber's home, once we complete the finishing touches. Challenges: Amber's home was filled with mix-matched furniture from family and college. She had no idea what her decorating style was. After shopping together and exchanging somepinterest boards, I was finally able to get a sense of what she loves. I had to work on a tight budget, which meant really digging out the creativity and utilizing other items in the home. See how I transformed a table from the discard pile into a faux marble bedside table by clicking web link. Amber's dad was able to help with the desk materials and building to cut costs. We wanted to save the closet doors in the event she sold her home or no longer needed an office someday. There wasn't any extra space to store these closet doors, so I used them as a headboard. The only items purchased were: Curtains, Curtain Rod, Bedspread Set, Throw Pillows, 2 Lamps and Paint.

Layered in timeless blues, soft greens, and warm creams, this space balances tradition with everyday comfort. Thoughtfully designed with family in mind, the room invites both connection and quiet moments—ample seating encourages gathering, while a dedicated game table sets the stage for friendly competition and shared memories. A traditional secretary desk adds a functional, collected touch, perfect for homework, correspondence, or simply keeping life organized. Comfortable, classic, and meant to be lived in—this is a living room where style and family life coexist beautifully.

Open concept kitchen - mid-sized contemporary l-shaped concrete floor and brown floor open concept kitchen idea in Milwaukee with flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an undermount sink and an island

Harvey Tribute windows with High Performance Triple Glazing were chosen for the This Old House 2016 Idea House for their sought-after combination of energy efficiency and custom color and design options.

This powder room renovation was part of a larger, extensive interior renovation for an existing penthouse condominium residence, located in Clayton, Missouri. The primary concept for the overall renovation was to bring architectural continuity throughout the entire residence with an edited materials palette that serves as a neutral backdrop for the owners’ extensive art collection. For the powder room specifically, the existing dark, herringbone wood floor is complimented with a floor to ceiling vertical slab of edge-lit leathered black granite. The textural stone is contrasted with a white wall-mounted vessel sink and white stone faucet trim. A custom ledge for the mirror and a soap and towel holder are seamlessly integrated in the black granite. Finally, a sculptural Tom Dixon “Melt” pendant light fixture adds an appropriate amount of drama to the small powder room. ©Alise O'Brien Photography
