See before and after photos from some of our favorite house remodels and renovations


Before: Halls without walls

Like many ranch houses, the home of Bill Welch and Maren Christensen in Portola Valley, California, had a long central hall that blocked light, views, and easy access between major rooms.



After: Halls without walls

Architect Mark Pearcy replaced part of the hallway with a series of columns and beams, which allows each area to borrow space from the others

Before: Alaska cabin makeover

The cabin ― abandoned for six years ― was literally falling apart when the Jenkinses purchased it. [/size]

Before: Modern farmhouse kitchen

The small kitchen had an awkward space for dining and was hidden from the home's main living areas by a closet wall.



After: Modern farmhouse kitchen

Now a sliding barn door allows the kitchen to be hidden for formal dinner parties and serves as a place to hang holiday greeting cards.

Before: Remake the entrance

The formerly blank façade had cramped stairs along one side and a front deck that was exposed to the weather. [/size]



After: Remake the entrance

Following an exterior makeover a broad stairway welcomes guests to a protected landing while an expanded refaced chimney and lower wall both clad in buff-colored manmade stone further define the entry. Muted earth tones link the house and the landscape.

Before: Tudor update

"When this house was built, the kitchen was only a place to work, so it was a small, dark room," says architect-owner William Hefner. "We wanted a kitchen open to a family room, so we put it at the back of the house. The dining room is now where the kitchen used to be."



After: Tudor update

Now in the kitchen/family room, traditional wainscoting and a coffered ceiling complement contemporary marble counters, glass cabinets, and a stainless steel hood. [/size]
