A 1920s loft with no closets, dangerous stairs, and dark colors, is brought back to life in this full-on make-over. New, cascading stairs are built across the loft with butcher block steps and traditional posts. The posts are filled with rope-like webbing adding a modern design touch to a vintage look. A closet is built upstairs and one expanded downstairs. The room is divided into three parts: office, dining space, and living space. To create even more space, the wall between the living room and kitchen is opened up and a butcher-block-topped bar created. Custom art, pendant lights, bright paint colors, and wallpaper make this Hollywood loft a home.

Josh finds a young LA couple that have a family room issue. The space is pretty large, but serves as everything from space for the kids to play to office to hangout for darts night with the boys. Seeing a real need for direction, Josh and the House Crashers crew first tear off all of the paneled walls and add hardwood flooring. Next the space gets divided using first a gigantic door with a distressed Union Jack flag on one side and cork board on the other. Then the rest of the room divider is custom built using huge basket weave patterned modular puzzle pieces. In addition to new furniture, lighting, paint, storage cabinets, and massive desk space, Josh also designs and builds a custom bar height table distressed with blow torches. Speechless is one of the only words the homeowners can come up with when they get to the final reveal of two completely new spaces.

Cortney and Robert take their city, chic home design chops to the Everett family home in suburban New Jersey to renovate a basement divided into a playroom for the kids: Hannah, Charlie and Paige and a home theater/entertainment for parents, Elyse and Scott. The Novogratz do a mind-blowing redesign of the stairway that includes a rainbow-inspired stenciled design and a built-in sliding board staircase for the kids. They custom build a brand new bar for Scott and accentuate it with vintage furniture finds from one of their favorite antique stores. Then they complete an amazing playroom for the three Everett children that includes a unique collage of the children's own art archive by their friend Jan Eleni. Robert and Cortney also ask their artist/sculptor friend Ann Carrington to swing by their house to create an original magnet sculpture of the American to hang in the Everett's basement.

Washington, D.C. area couple Pamela and Sean are honoring a wedding day vow to live abroad by moving to Dublin, Ireland, for his new job. But it's not "happily ever after" when it comes to house hunting. While she wants Irish character and charm in a new apartment, Sean would prefer something modern with an open-flor plant. No matter what type of place they choose, it needs to be close to Sean's bus for work and within Pamela's strict budget.

Brendan is a young lawyer from a small town who has now happily put down roots in the big city. He's drawn to old houses full of character and was very happy renting an apartment in one side of this century old semi-detached duplex. When the other side of the semi-detached duplex came on the market, Brendan followed an old real estate rule? buy the worst house on a good street. The house is divided into an upper and a lower apartment, neither of which have been touched in 40 years and many of the original elements are long past their prime. On the second floor of the house the kitchen is cramped and worn, the bathroom is grotty, several rooms have virtually no lighting, the plaster walls are shabby and the third floor has odd peaks and slopes that challenge its design. Brendan moved in months ago with the intention of living on the modest main floor and basement and renting the upper two-story unit, which offers lots of potential appeal. As a first time homebuyer with no renovation experience, he's looking for direction on how to renovate the space and use his limited funds wisely, attract a great tenant, and ultimately reduce his 35-year mortgage which is scheduled to be paid off close to his 67th birthday. He needs Income Property to show him how.
