Before: Sunny bungalow addition

Owners Gus and Stephanie Koven wanted to find a cost-effective way to unite the original 1,000-square-foot bungalow and its backyard. "You literally had to duck through a tunnel-like door and meander down steps to access the garden," says Gus, a sound designer and avid gardener. "The only view of the yard was through a small window in the bedroom."



After: Sunny bungalow addition

Now sheets of 16-mm. clear polycarbonate open this dark little bungalow to its garden.

Before: Victorian transformation

Call it too much of a good thing. The 154-year-old Victorian in Napa, California, was bogged down with layers of wallpaper ― even on the ceiling ― and saturated with a disturbing amount of bright blue paint.




After: Victorian tranformation

Homeowner Kimberley Nunn created a welcoming entry hallway with creamy white walls that contrast with the dark floors and staircase.

Before: Portland kitchen

A dark brick fireplace and paneling made this old kitchen gloomy.



After: Portland kitchen

Removal of the old fireplace wall allowed for expansion into the garage and flanking windows flood the room with light.

Before: Family-friendly kitchen

The narrow U-shaped design of the all-white kitchen trapped an oven between the counters. There was barely room for two stools at the counter end.



After: Family-friendly kitchen

Warren and Jennifer Lloyd turned a cramped alcove into an inviting dining nook by borrowing room from a closet (located opposite the original freestanding counter) and rearranging the appliances. "We gained just 15 square feet, but the kitchen feels triple the size," Jennifer says.

Before: Eichler update

With a few subtle changes ― done without altering the floor plan or developer Joseph Eichler's basic post-and-beam aesthetic ― architect Anne Phillips transformed this space into something fresh and lively.



After: Eichler update

More light and openness, the latest appliances, and a richer color palette give the kitchen new life while preserving its midcentury-modern character.
