Designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent approach every remodel on The Nate and Jeremiah Home Project with heart. Redesigning for function while maintaining (and even elevating) the most meaningful parts of a home is their jam. So, we rounded up their best ideas for honoring sentimental keepsakes through design. Of course, we recommend you try this at home.

A vintage grand piano stuns in this home's remodeled, airy living room thanks to Nate and Jeremiah. “It was [my mother's] 16th birthday present, and she ended up going to The Juilliard School," the homeowner explained. "Hopefully, it will go from one generation to the next.” In fact, Nate and Jeremiah discovered that the piano was sold into the family in 1945. Now it's valued at more than $100,000. Steinway keeps perfect records,” shared Jeremiah during the reveal.

The owners of a historic fixer-upper had big dreams of honoring their home’s Victorian architecture but struggled with a poor floor plan and limited space. Nate and Jeremiah turned the cramped bathroom into a luxurious spa-like retreat with a glamorous drop mirror over the vanity and hand-glazed shower tiles. Most importantly, they incorporated the existing clawfoot tub as a focal point in the room.

This family was thrilled to inherit side tables and a midcentury chest of drawers from their home's previous owners, but the baby blue paint coating both pieces of furniture was a point of contention. To make the pieces work in the home's new design, Nate and Jeremiah had the furniture stripped and stained to reveal its natural wood grain. Now the family fully enjoys them in their remodeled, midcentury-inspired bedroom.
