You don’t have to be flipping a home to steal some of Page Turner’s incredible ideas. Though if you’re in the flipping business, please take note. As an expert house flipper and real estate broker, Page has seen it all and knows how to create a home that’s sellable, but most importantly, livable. From her series Fix My Flip and her turn on Rock the Block, we’re counting down our favorite design ideas.

Look to the present and the past for a design that stands the test of time. This classic Craftsman home, built in 1929, was brimming with beautiful architectural details. First on Page’s list: Bring back the character. Her team uncovered original hardwood floors and kept the original moldings and fireplace surround. The tile had to be replaced, so Page opted for a classic pattern that fits seamlessly into the design. To update the living space, an eclectic and colorful mix of shapely furnishings establishes a welcoming and playful vibe.

Particularly in older homes, houses can be too closed off. An open floor plan is more conducive to the modern family, who wants a place to gather even when doing separate activities. Before Page got her hands on this home, there were way too many walls dividing the rooms. Now, cooking, dining and living can all happen together. Page's tip: Load-bearing walls can stop you in your tracks on the way to an open floor plan. Here, Page found a workaround by creating a large opening in the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room. Now the space features a bar area for eating or working on homework.

Don’t let the focal point of a space fade into the background. Upon entering this 1920s cottage, the first thing you see is the fireplace, and before Page arrived, it was a bland shade of white. To make a statement, she painted the brick a dark charcoal and, for chic juxtaposition, added a cedar mantel. Open shelving beside the fireplace balances all the bold and provides a space to display trinkets.
