Just because you’re renting doesn’t mean you can’t spiff up the place! We asked, and this landlord removed all the carpet in the house to reveal a beautiful wood floor that they graciously refinished, and they let us paint the walls! We filled the walls with art made by artist friends and family members. The furniture for this project was all hand-me-downs, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist finds. We reupholstered the dining chairs with green velvet, used a mix of antique rugs and carpet tiles, and finished it with a fun and personal blend of decor.

H&H and Marty Buckenmeyer of Buckenmeyer Architecture teamed up to build a 460 SF addition to a Sellwood Cape Cod home for three generations of a growing family. H&H removed a small garage and built the “landlord suite” in its place. The team converted the back bedroom of the main house into a living room with a kitchenette while the new addition contains a bedroom and walk-in closet. H&H also reconfigured the driveway to make room for both families’ cars. Photography by Jeff Amram Photography.

Our client rents a condo in an awesome location on Mission Bay in San Diego. We wanted to play up the watery hues of her view while staying within her limits as a renter. We painted the space, replaced the interior doors (with landlords permission) and brought in additional furniture and accessories to reflect our client's blend of sophistication and beach charm. This space was formerly used for a laundry space, but current HOA rules won't allow in-unit W/D units. We repurposed this area to a home bar outfitted with pretty glassware and a dual zone wine fridge. Shannon Bailey - Lil Bird Photography

When we moved in, the landlords helped us remove approximately 85 bazillion sets of mismatched, ill-fitting louvred doors, including one that only partially covered these shelves and was the first thing you saw upon entering the bedroom. I designed the bi-fold doors and had them created by Mike Z Designs. Photo © Bethany Nauert
