These homeowners needed a mature place to retreat but their unexciting bedroom looked more like a college dorm room.

But, the real magic happens when stained distressed wood becomes a custom headboard and bed.

A house built in the 50's gets a cool modern makeover. A young family transforms a window that separates the living room and family room into an amazing glass window waterfall.

An outdated, bulky fireplace is completely remodeled into an art piece that connects an office and living room.
