Valerie and David love their 100-year-old house, but it’s having trouble keeping up with two kids, a beloved family dog and a new puppy about to arrive. We overhauled the kitchen and dining room for everyone; spruced up the living room for Valerie and David to relax; fixed up the basement play space for the kids; and even added a staircase nook so the dogs could have their own “furever” home.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS

MAKING THE MOST OF A RENO RE-DO

It was a little heartbreaking to tear out the kitchen improvements Valerie and David had made just seven years ago, but their design had left them no room for seating and too little storage for a family of four. We donated all the materials we could, and then got to work removing the walls that separated the space from the rest of the house. We installed a true island with seating for everyone, and carried the green-and-neutral color palette from there all the way to the living room fireplace.

THE BASEMENT IS A SPACE MEANT FOR KIDS

Valerie and David’s basement provided the perfect space for the kids’ play area (if maybe not the height needed for a couple of Property Brothers). The floor needed some major leveling, but once we took care of that, we put together a fun, welcoming room with lots of new storage and areas for the whole family to hang out. An added touch: we created a desk out of barnwood from Valerie’s family farm, so they’ll have an heirloom piece for their children to pass down to future generations.

LOOK, A NOOK FOR LUCCA

Everyone was sticking their coats in a tiny little space under the stairs, which was made even more uncomfortable by the narrow entry hallway. We took out the hallway wall to make the stairs more accessible, and installed custom cabinets underneath. We even included a very special nook for the family’s new addition, Lucca! We were so excited to help introduce Lucca to the family and to deliver the big news: Lucca will be part of this year’s Puppy Bowl! You can tune in to see Lucca star in the big game on Sunday, Feb. 3 at 3 p.m. ET on Animal Planet.
