Sarah's House

Sarah jumps onto a hot real estate market to show you how to buy a fixer-upper and make it the house you want right away. The ultimate renovator’s dream is elusive – good bones, the right price and location are everything. With her discerning eye and a solid real estate agent in tow, Sarah finds the perfect disaster and readies herself to polish this diamond in the rough!

Overgrown and unloved, no one can remember when Sarah’s backyard has seen better days. Landscapers and muscle work hand in hand to resurrect this hardscrabble plot into a chic low-maintenance space for year-round enjoyment. Increased privacy...

The kids’ bedrooms in Sarah’s House are plagued by awkward layouts and sloped ceilings. A shoestring budget challenges Sarah to transform these tricky spaces into dream escapes for their pint-sized occupants. It means spending limited funds where they’re needed most, both behind the walls and on the fun and funky décor.

A bland master bedroom gets a wake up call! Sarah doubles the size of the space by knocking down the wall to an adjoining room, and bricks up a never used window to create a long enough wall for the bed. This new layout also captures a lounge space and walls of his and hers’ closets. Lush textures and colors, more light and sparkle make for a masterful bedroom retreat!
