On the Season 2 premiere of Restored by the Fords, the brother-sister duo updated Laura and Ben's craftsman home. This project was especially important to the Fords, because Leanne grew up with Laura — they even played on the same lacrosse team!

The original living room with its outdated fireplace completely blocked off all of the natural light coming in through the den behind it.

When Leanne and Steve went to open up the walls, they found brick. In what Leanne referred to as a 'power move', they reduced the fireplace down to brick and completely opened up the space, allowing natural light from the den to pour in.
