Hawaiian Rec Room

Design Remix : Episode HDMIX-111 -- More Projects »

Before: The homeowners think their converted garage is ugly and boring. Both of them are from Hawaii and would love something to remind them of their homeland.

After: Wood arbors with palm fronds add island style to the doorways, while an old quilt is turned into a modified Roman shade to hide the washer and dryer when not in use.

Before: The space doesn't have a consistent style and the seating patterns aren't as functional as they could be.

After: Since the room has no windows, color and texture bring interest to the space. Painted bright blue clouds and large banana leaves really add an island feel as do the throw pillows made from sarongs.

Dustin and Jan Valente like to have friends over but don't have a fun space to relax. Their garage has become the place to hang out, but it's cold, ugly and?a garage! Designer Karen McAloon, painter Danielle Hirsch and contractor Ian Read help this young couple remix things they already have in their storage area along with fresh paint to create a room that brings their native Hawaiian "aloha" spirit to their home on the mainland. The entire makeover is completed in two days with less than $50!
