Bright Updated Bungalow

This family room addition is stuck in the '50s. Vinyl floor, wood paneling and an outdated fireplace add to the overall retro feel. Chicago homeowners spend most of their time in this room and would like to see it transformed into an updated space that's respectful to the rest of the home's classic 1940s bungalow architecture. A dated stone fireplace is replaced with brick veneer, an acoustic ceiling is removed and a built-in banquette adds a craftsman-style dining area. Finally, a window & full light door are added along with new lighting to make room brighter.

This plain old kitchen is transformed by a retro remodel with a modern twist.

Secret Agent Lounge

A young couple has one big problem between their living room and dining room: a gigantic, unused fireplace. Other than dividing the space in half, this huge brick structure is used only to hold the television in the air. This space is going to be re-invented into a sleek lounge by completely removing the fireplace and replacing it with a new skylight as well as a custom cabinet with two automated TVs and a bar. There will also be a floating table, stone-accented wall, 4x6 beams used for crown molding, and two fire features to give this room a sleek, stylish finish.

Eclectic Wood Kitchen

A small 1950s kitchen is completely gutted and transformed into an open and eclectic new space! This transformation is a challenge, because one of these homeowners works as a chef, so Josh's challenge is to bring some professionalism to an old kitchen that just isn't cutting it! Before, the small kitchen was just outdated white cabinets, old appliances and ugly tile countertops, but in just three days it takes on a whole new face! Walls are opened up to create an island with custom concrete countertops, reclaimed barn wood is attached to the walls to create a unique backsplash, rich dark cabinets replace the old, a receipt wheel becomes a light fixture, plus these homeowners get brand-new vintage-inspired appliances to create one inviting kitchen!

Retro-Modern Great Room

This 1970s family room with a chunky rock fireplace and wood paneling is transformed with eco-friendly modern wall panels and a sleek stone and concrete fireplace that doubles as a bench. The adjoining living room is tied in as the wall between them becomes custom sliding pocket doors, with silver hardwood floors leading from one room to the next. A ceiling-mounted TV tops it off with a custom recycled aluminum entertainment center.

Season 3, Episode 9

Asian Modern

A young couple is getting ready to move into their first house and really aren't in love with the living room and kitchen, not to mention the previous owners took their dog but left behind the dog smell in the carpet. These two rooms are going to become one with an Asian modern theme and a keyhole entry between them. Starting with tearing out the wall dividing the rooms, this renovation will completely change the space, with a new face on fireplace, skylights, completely new kitchen with custom range hood, bamboo and vinyl floors and sliding shoji screens around the walls.

Home Theater Hub

This boring game room was not cutting it for the man of the house. He wanted a place to watch sports with his buddies with the volume turned way up! To transform it into a proper home theater, the room is enclosed with a completely new soundproof wall. The popcorn ceiling is covered with a pattern of random-length lumber, and the tiny window is replaced with a door leading out to the backyard. A DIY television screen is "painted" on the main wall and surrounded with red laminate tiles for a punch of pizzazz. Finally, a cork floor is installed along with a window seat, which includes storage for various television components.

Vintage Lounge

This 10-year-old room addition was dilapidated and in desperate need of an overhaul, plus this tiny house didn't have much room for entertaining. Transforming the space into a lounge begins with tearing down the three rotting walls, rebuilding them, and covering them with stone. The ceiling drywall is removed, exposing a beamed ceiling, and "carpenter" windows are built and installed. Finally, a stand-up bar is built using galvanized metal and suspended shelves are hung from the ceiling.

Vintage Bookcase Bedroom

This young homeowner needs help with her project house. Not one room in the house is complete, so Josh takes his pick and takes on her bedroom! Her blank slate of a room needs some attention!

So they create floor-to-ceiling bookcases and create a custom library ladder. To complete this bedroom, they create a unique fabric headboard and upgrade to a queen-sized bed!

The hearth and entryway are laid with locally harvested blue stone. The vaulted ceiling is covered with white knotty pine planks, and surrounding ceiling trim is attached and stained.
