Dark, raised panel cabinetry and granite countertops had made this kitchen a little unwelcoming. We lightened it up with medium tone stained cabinetry and lighter countertops, as well as swapping out the dated southwestern style mosaic backsplash with brighter white ceramic with deep blue diamonds.

The dining room of this home was in the location of the original kitchen and the new kitchen was a bedroom. Opening up the wall in between and making the swap allowed for a larger more functional space. The new dining room is now open to both the kitchen and living room. Photo: Pete Eckert

This detached garage near Greensfelder County Park was built to look like the house it sits next to. The lower level is a two car garage with ample work room space. The second floor is a children's play room which could also serve as a nice office space or crating area.

What do you do when your cabinets are still gorgeous but you want that new kitchen feel? Countertop Swap! And we love how it turned out. The choice was set on Pompeii's Macchiato quartz and with the new counter came a new 70/30 offset under-mounted sink and a new faucet! Kim Lindsey Photography

Swapped round table for rectangle and removed baker's rack, file drawers and book shelves to open up the space and keep it a dedicated eating area.

We swapped the living and dining rooms, since this was closer to the kitchen. Added new fumed oak floors, pale gray walls, live edge walnut dining table, and industrial-style chandelier.

Master bath, so to the left was the closet then to the right of the sink vanity was the shower & toilet. We swapped the closet and shower around making a double vanity, tile wall, adding rain head and bench in the shower. There also were glass doors along with mirrors over the vanity. At the time they were not installed yet
