Stylish Rustic Great Room

An outdated living area is transformed into an elegant, rustic great room.

Designers' Challenge : Episode DSC-1403 -- More Projects »
Jaime and Steve DiMarco and their two daughters have a wonderful ranch-style home that was built in the 1940s. The couple loves to entertain and have always dreamed of a large kitchen/great room that would look out into the backyard. With a budget of $75,000, the DiMarcos would like to remove the walls that enclose the kitchen to create a large, open space with the dining and living rooms. The remodel will also include new flooring, appliances, cabinets and counters in the kitchen and a new fireplace in the living room. Color and accessories tie the spaces together to create a wonderful, contemporary great room with a country theme.

Before: Too Small Rooms
Jaime and Steve DiMarco share their 2,200-square- foot, ranch-style home with their two young daughters. Initially drawn to the sprawling backyard, the couple now seeks to infuse the interior of their home with the openness and light they enjoy outside. They want to open up their kitchen to the living room and dining room, while taking advantage of their picturesque backyard view.
