In this romantic kitchen, luxury and functionality meet and mingle. An elegant, oversized hood above an immense 60-inch gas range is the room’s dramatic focal point. A panel-ready fridge creates a seamless illusion for the eye, and a butcher block island hand-crafted by Mike was put on casters to allow flexibility in the space. When designing, Egypt knew contrast was needed in this kitchen. With so many rooms in the home being white, the space needed a statement that would anchor the house. Egypt decided to make that statement the kitchen.

The one request the homeowners had for this beautiful Roswell renovation was natural elements. The goal was to create a Zen space in every area of the home. Mike and Egypt used curvature and various elements such as stone and wood to soften the world within the house. The rounded island mirrors the custom table in the banquet, as does the tambour ridging seen throughout the kitchen.

“It’s all about the windows in the kitchen,” says Egypt of this airy, reimagined space from Season 3 of Married to Real Estate. Egypt and Mike ran a strong campaign to update this kitchen with natural woods and stone, creating a modern, elevated design. The back wall of open shelving further draws the eye toward the natural light created by adding a second window. Quartz countertops are durable and beautiful, and the custom tile adds a unique touch.

“Pantries are huge for resale value, especially for families,” says Egypt of this custom walk-in storage space. It features a coffee bar, drawers with shallow fronts that allow the homeowner to easily peek inside, glass- and solid-front cabinets for displaying — or hiding — items and shelving in nearly every shape and size to house kitchen necessities from canisters to cookie sheets.

This cozy kitchen corner was once useless space. Now, it's the perfect place for an inviting eat-in area with a custom built-in banquette crafted by Mike. I the words of Egypt, "It's about making the space you have make sense." A fun and funky light fixture was brought in to add balance to the space, and Egypt opted to play up the corner's natural light. Simple bistro chairs and luxe curtains add a casual elegance to the space.

Moody dark walls create "a moment of sophisticated livability" in this luxurious dining room. Modern French chateau was the aesthetic Egypt and Mike were trying to create, and we think they nailed it. The dining room connects to a wine lounge through the glass wine storage room. It's as architecturally appealing as it is functional and doubles as a conversation starter for those lucky enough to enjoy it.

Soaring ceilings appear extra elevated in this 1950s living room, thanks to dark, exposed beams and lofty, narrow windows that exude midcentury style. Egypt and Mike transformed this dated home into an enticing retreat filled with a myriad of cozy seating areas like this sectional-framed nook. A plush, geometric-print rug, angular wooden lounge chairs and burnt orange-and-yellow accent pillows complete the midcentury vibe.

What's better than a dramatic focal point in your living room? A dramatic focal point made entirely of marble. In this midcentury rancher, the homeowner was looking to restore his Godfather's home to its former glory, while adding touches that felt personal to him. A statement fireplace wall made entirely of marble did just the trick. The space now feels modern, sleek and sexy. Bonus: The patio doors open up to create an indoor/outdoor space that "feels like Miami."

Wood paneling can make a room feel dated, but Egypt and Mike made it work in this 1950s stunner. Pairing it with subtle, concrete-hued floor tile and curvaceous furnishings and fixtures softens the hard lines of the wall panels and ceiling beams.

This coastal living room, designed for Rock the Block Season 3, is brimming with soft, seaside charm. Egypt and Mike used exposed beams and striking accent walls above custom built-ins to draw the eye toward the grand fireplace with its warm brick surround. Driftwood coffee tables and floating shelf decor add beachy style without leaning coastal kitsch. Curved elements in the chair, side tables and artwork add geometric energy to the crisp, neutral space.

This jazzy bedroom from Season 3 is the picture of texture perfection. White walls serve as a canvas for the unique art and generously sized side tables. Concrete floors marry seamlessly with the doors that open to the outside patio. A gray upholstered bed and patterned carpet with leather ottomans are the picture of comfort and cool. This homeowner even asked to add his laundry room to his closet, and Mike and Egypt provided.

For a homeowner that loves to entertain, a downstairs guest room with two beds is a must. Midnight blue walls and fuchsia headboards create a sexy ambiance. The only problem, according to Mike, is “the friends are not going to want to leave.”

A primary closet decked out with a centerpiece of built-in cabinetry and a perimeter of chic and convenient shelving and hanging space is a win for current homeowners and future resale value. White cabinets and shelving allow clothes and accessories to stay organized. Ample lighting from overhead and within built-ins adds aesthetic function.

This closet suite features fresh amenities like (secret) jewelry storage behind a mirror; plenty of shelves and drawers for accessories, shoes and hats; and a clean aesthetic to match the rest of the house. “When I need mommy time, quiet time, prayer time, this is where I’m going to be,” said Egypt and Mike's client.

Glossy tile floors, a freestanding tub (basking in sunlight) and a water closet are enough to dub this space spa-worthy. A new powder-blue vanity with gold hardware replaces the old, too-short vanity. With a few layout tweaks — such as turning the toilet to make more space for a larger shower — this primary bathroom has plenty of room for rejuvenation.

Mike and Egypt wanted to create a feeling of serenity in this guest bath from Season 3 of Married to Real Estate. The blush tile blends perfectly with the light, airy textiles they used throughout the room. Gold hardware adds an elegant layer and the black-trimmed mirror puts a polish on this peaceful space.

A luxurious marble wall and a freestanding tub inside the shower make this primary bath feel like the ultimate at-home vacation. The “super shower,” as described by Egypt and Mike, takes the space to the next level.

The homeowners' 1-year-old son feels right at home in his Japandi-style play space. Similar to the rest of the house's design, this room “melds natural elements for a cozy feeling,” says Egypt. Calming, organic green paint adorns the walls, along with a natural wood sculpture and a framed swatch of pretty blue wallpaper.

This nursery is special. Expectant newlyweds inherited his parents' house in southwest Atlanta, and the nursery renovation was all about adding extremely personal touches. The decadent wallpaper carries the room's theme throughout this cozy nook and plays into the giraffe-themed growth chart Mike customized for the nursery door. Custom art was created by a friend, and a light from the homeowner's childhood was refinished and added to the room. This kid-friendly, special space is anything but ordinary.

Custom built-ins for storage and a plenty of natural light comprise the foundation of this family's inspiring home office. The newly created space is flooded with natural light and thanks to new French doors, there's a level of privacy that didn't exist before. Soft elements were added to give this office an organic feel. “This room is like a launchpad for inspiration,” Egypt says of the homeowner’s new creative refuge.

This sleek home office used to be a dining room. Egypt and Mike made the space smaller to allow for the addition of a powder room where the pantry used to be. Now the repurposed square footage better suits the needs of the buyers, who like to entertain. With textured wallpaper, a warm wooden desk and neutral furnishings, the classic-contemporary ambiance boasts a certain timelessness "that won’t age,” Egypt said.

Working from home looks good in this Alpharetta office, where an eye catching light fixture sets the tone for the luxe but unfussy interior. Plush white chairs with clean lines, plenty of plants and abstract art elevate the distressed wood desk — proving a home office doesn't have to be overdone to be elegant.

In the finished basement of this Dunwoody, Georgia, home, Egypt and Mike turned an unfinished room into "a whole new living space" — also known as the homeowners' hangout retreat when the kids take over the rest of the house. With a built-in wet bar, a wine fridge, a clean tile backsplash and a dishwasher, they’ll always be prepared for a happy hour drink or snack in style.

This homeowner’s new yoga studio oozes the lush, layered ambiance she’s been looking for. Melded natural elements create a cozy feeling in this sunroom-turned-studio, while a newly added air unit makes sure it functions as an all-weather room, adding square footage to the home. Mike even added ultraviolet tints on the windows, so they can see out, but neighbors can't see in. Egypt's goal was to "create a color palette that feels rich with texture and layers while keeping with the organic."

For a bachelor who wants “a huge outdoor room” to host his family, this newly covered deck is a dream. With an expanded footprint and a large indoor-outdoor window opening into the kitchen, this entertaining space effectively, as Egypt said it, “brings the outdoors in."

"Indoor-outdoor flow" is the name of the game for this beautiful patio space complete with a pizza oven. After leveling out the once-slanted concrete pad and adding a state-of-the-art kitchen, this space is now truly the perfect outdoor hangout.
