Scott Salinas and Lisa Reider are engaged to be married and just bought their first home together. Their front room has great coved ceilings and intricate details, but they don't know how to showcase these elements in such a small room. Angelo Surmelis and his design team get right to business creating a modern style with vintage elements. The team installs new French doors that bring in more light, and they paint the walls a cool blue with dark accents around the tray ceiling. Finally, a chic chandelier in the center of the room gives the whole space elegance and warmth.
Amy and Al Pierce have hit a wall, actually four walls, when it comes to decorating the dining room in their Spanish style home. In an attempt to bring warmth to the space, they painted the walls a moss green, but now the dining room feels too small and dark. After searching HGTV.com's Rate My Space for ideas, they discovered that they differ on style: Al likes the room's simplicity and leans towards clean lines, while Amy wants a cozy place for family meals. They do agree that - with great architectural features like intricate floorboards, archways and windows with a great view - they have a room with a lot of potential. Now, Al and Amy have asked host Angelo Surmelis and his team to help them realize it.
Greg and Lena Kessman have made huge strides in remodeling their bungalow home to accommodate their family of four. After remodeling for necessity, they're now ready to pamper themselves with a modern and romantic master bedroom retreat. They want to take advantage of their 13-foot ceilings by adding a coffered ceiling, and they envision a unique headboard to accent their bed area and to cover up some of the blank wallspace. In addition, they are determined to incorporate a sitting area in the space. It's a tall order for a tall bedroom, but the Kessmans hope host Angelo Surmelis and the Rate My Space community will offer them some great suggestions.
Jordana and Lou Zutavern love the experience of old diners and drive-ins.

With the help of three inspirational homeowners from HGTV.com's Rate My Space, Angelo Surmelis will pump up the family fun and give the Zutavern's a five star retro style kitchen.
Brett and Deidre Kotch want a master bathroom that reflects their minimalist, modern design sensibilities.

After perusing images on HGTV.com's Rate My Space, they were drawn to spaces with warm woods, clean lines and subdued palettes. Host Angelo Surmelis and his team bring in their manpower and expertise, and Brett and Deidre can't wait to see what's in store.

Hollis and Rob La Plante have called on Angleo Surmelis and the Rate My Space community on HGTV.com for help. They want to love their mid-century lounge room that currently serves as both an entertainment space and a playpen for their son Hunter. However, Hollis would like to bring in more style, perhaps with a sleek new sofa, and she wants to make the disappearing white fireplace more of a focal point. Meanwhile, all Rob asks for is a comfortable chair in which to watch football. Angelo's challenge is to strike a balance between modern style and the functional needs of the La Plante family.
