In this season of Home Project, Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent bring new definition to coming home. “Filling a home with meaning is the most important part,” says Nate. “We start the process by doing a massive edit of a family’s old belongings and preserve what’s most important. We want to deliver homes that feel exactly like the people who live in them.”

Join in as they transform ordinary homes into luxurious, custom spaces catering to the families’ stories, memories and values. Enjoy spaces of all kinds, from kitchen transformations and master suite makeovers, to modern family rooms and fun playrooms. Get insight into how you can incorporate heirlooms and antiques into modern home design.

Nate and Jeremiah transformed a formerly enclosed living room in a split-level ranch into an open concept living area. Wooden paneling on the ceiling helps it feel warm and cozy, while ample storage and comfortable seating make the room functional, livable and relaxing. A rolling library ladder allows the homeowners to access high shelves and adds appeal. Nearby the living room, the designers incorporated a dining area adjacent to the new galley kitchen.

Hand-crafted maroon tiles were installed as a feature backsplash in this modern galley kitchen. White-washed wood cabinets with matte black door pulls above one side of the kitchen add storage. A long quartz countertop with marble veining promises the family plenty of space to cook and bake together. A new gas range is accompanied by a gold kettle faucet to add function to the kitchen.

This kitchen gets an A+ for its natural lighting, which says a lot, as narrow galley kitchens don't often score high points in that category. Skylights, a window over the sink and a fixed pane at the end of the kitchen make the room feel open and inviting. Light wood floors, white-washed wood cabinetry and white walls help to bounce the light in every direction. As an extension of the home’s new open concept design, anyone working in the kitchen can also feel a part of what’s happening in the living room.
