See Episode GuideVictorian Gets Some Street Style
Steve and Leanne Ford are asked to tackle the first floor of an old Victorian row house that is drowning in wallpaper. Their first order of business is to brighten and lighten the whole space, then overhaul the dungeon of a kitchen to let the light shine in and reveal a simple, elegant design.
Midcentury Mess Gets Modern Makeover
In Pittsburgh, PA, siblings Leanne and Steve Ford target a dark, midcentury home that has been empty for over a decade. They transform this funky house into a sleek oasis with mold remediation, plenty of demo and a bridge build.
First Floor Blowout
The Fords are tasked with updating the first floor of a regal Victorian house built in 1885. The owners of this elegant home are both young and traditional in their style, so Leanne looks to create an entertaining floor that's a perfect balance of new and old. A custom bar is then made from salvaged cabinets, and a layer of bold wallpaper with a romantic feel is installed. The end result is a blend of classic and contemporary, making for a one-of-a-kind home.
Building Character
A young couple needs a larger space for them and their two kids, so Steve and Leanne decide to reconfigure the floor plan to transform their small house into a home with plenty of elbowroom. But with a new bathroom, master bedroom and kitchen, will Steve and Leanne find the space in the budget to fit in all their ideas?
House With a Circle Ceiling
Steve and Leanne are called on the restore a midcentury modern Pittsburgh home for a pair of music lovers. They use clever open space concepts and custom furniture pieces to create a new and invigorating space perfect for entertaining guests.
Let There Be Light
After many failed attempts at fixing up the 1920s Tudor he grew up in, a couple brings in Leanne and Steve Ford to finish the job. Leanne wants to stay true to the era of the home by keeping the fantastic bones, beautiful woodwork and windows. However, she must quickly come up with a new plan when Steve discovers water damage to the kitchen floors.
Take Down That Wall
When Steve's good friends ask for help with their 1970s contemporary home, the Fords come to the rescue. Leanne draws inspiration from a reclaimed wood mantle and brings their dream of a ski lodge in Pittsburgh to life. However, the siblings will have to survive a few compromises to give the couple everything they want.
The Power Of Paint
A newly engaged couple that bought a midcentury modern home to start their lives together needs Leanne and Steve Ford to make it modern-day cool. The worst offender is the zig-zag kitchen that's never been stylish, but Leanne's design solution is pure magic.
The Male Doily
Steve and Leanne Ford tackle the first floor of a Victorian home built by a ship's captain in the late 1800s. Beautiful woodwork and quaint fireplaces inspire the homeowners' design choices but they're in need of a little balance from all the Victorian frill. The Fords freshen up the front rooms then completely redo the kitchen in a style that's worthy of a captain, yet fit for a modern family.
The Silence Between the Chords
Leanne and Steve Ford are hired to convert a fun-loving and quirky art collector's cramped quarters into a fun setting for art and collectibles. The Fords install intricate wood flooring throughout, install a new back door and bring the painfully outdated galley kitchen into the modern century all while showing off the Victorian home's beautiful bones.
