The star of this kitchen is a toss-up: Is it the impressive stove cove or the newly installed ceiling beams? These homeowners never used their small dining table, so Jon and Kristina nixed the breakfast area and created an extra-long island with plenty of seating.

Jon and Kristina transformed this formerly drab kitchen by moving it to a brighter part of the home and lightening up its color scheme. And a magnificent copper hood vent reflects all the natural light coming in through the windows.

A waxed-copper backsplash adds character and farmhouse-edge to this kitchen — while under-cabinet lighting shows off the stove-top area's lustrous sheen. Copper pendants hang over the island, bringing shine to the rest of the space. Cane-back island stools add layered texture.

This space once featured dark wood paneling, a brick wall from the '70s and an old oven. The homeowners wanted to give the refreshed space a tavern feel, and, of course, Jon and Kristina delivered. Creamy paint on the previously dark walls, a new island boasting rustic wood cabinetry and sage green cabinets evoke a natural, relaxing ambiance. On the countertops, luxe soapstone adds elevated texture.

While renovating the Knight family's 100-year-old farmhouse, Jonathan and Kristina demolished an old, back staircase leading to and from the kitchen and used the space to create a pantry, complete with marble countertops and fresh, farmhouse-inspired lighting. The lower cabinets — covered in a moody gray-blue paint — boast a charming beadboard, while the upper cabinets, with their elegant glass doors, offer a stylish and functional space to display dishes and trinkets.

This used to be the home's kitchen, but after rearranging the floor plan, adding a wooden banquette and coating the walls with navy blue paint, Jon and Kristina opted to move the kitchen elsewhere. "I'm obsessed with it," homeowners said of the new, moody dining area.

Built-in shelving in a corner of this dining space allows for displaying books, plants and bottles of wine, which stand bright against moody-hued paint.

Neutral colors on the walls and light fixtures allow the space's wood features — such as ceiling beams and the dining table and chairs — to stand out. Large-scale, black-and-white art completes the simple-hued palette.

This mini bar got an "Old-McDonald-meets-Great-Gatsby" makeover, according to Jonathan. Kristina wondered if she went too far with the wallpaper, but the homeowners loved the bold, woodland-themed design. Glistening glassware and brass hardware meet reclaimed wood ceiling beams and farmhouse blue cabinets in a dynamic combination that strikes just the right balance between rustic and refined.

Wall paneling and a reclaimed wooden vanity bring texture and character to this otherwise neutral mudroom, which was an office before Kristina and Jon got their hands on it. The two-toned walls and sleek, natural stone sink steal the show, while aesthetic brass wall hooks and a bench add function.

To make the most of the space they had in their Rock the Block closet, Jon and Kristina installed a laundry room — complete with a washer and dryer, lots of extra storage and a pully-controlled drying rack. Designed with space-saving pocket doors, the laundry room is accessible through the main suite's closet and the living room.

In true farmhouse style, Jon and Kristina opted for a nature-inspired color palette in their Rock the Block main suite. Green-painted wainscoting and trim stand out against the top half of the walls, which Kristina and Jon intentionally painted white to keep the room bright.

Here, Kristina and Jon highlighted the room's architecture by painting the window trim and muntins robin's-egg blue — a color they pulled from the classic blue-and-white patterned wallpaper. Dark wood accents and furnishings add depth and texture.

The bedroom in this New Hampshire home works double duty: A desk by the window provides space to read, write or work. Jon and Kristina decorated the nook with intentional accessories — a rattan lamp, a wood-framed piece of art and a potted plant — to create a contained and cozy work space in the larger room.

Jon and Kristina smoothed and patched the walls and added new paint to this living room to create a more aesthetically pleasing backdrop for new decor. They also added recessed lighting and removed a corner hutch to make the space feel bigger.

Jon and Kristina, committed to preserving this home's unique and historic school-house elements, chose to showcase a chalkboard on the wall (not exactly a traditional decorating move). An adjacent wall of shelving features an array of green and clear glass bottles that create a vintage-inspired, showstopping effect.

The best part about going bright in a bathroom? You don't have to look at it all the time, so you won't get tired of the color quickly. Here, a blue vanity adds a refreshing pop of personality to the remodeled bathroom. Black hardware and white walls play up the contrasting color palette, keeping the look clean and fresh.

These homeowners were wowed by the transformation of their primary bathroom. Jon and Kristina went all out with a green, standalone soaking tub placed in the middle of the room. Rustic vanities and cozy touches, like candles lining the mantlepiece, "match the vibe of the rest of the space," Jon said.

After a burst bathroom pipe wreaked havoc in this house, Jon and Kristina took it as an opportunity to re-renovate the infamous and historic John Proctor house. Wood boards running vertically up the walls make the room feel larger, while an eclectic mix of historic art helps maintain the home's Old World feel.
