Before: Shed revival

Evan Sagerman and Marci Riseman needed extra space for a guest room and entertaining area, and they found it in an unlikely place: a tiny, ramshackle shed in the backyard of their San Francisco Victorian home.



After: Shed revival
The couple decided to remodel the shed, and it became an exercise in preservation and space planning. They looked to boat cabins for design inspiration. "I grew up sailing," Sagerman says. "Being on boats taught me how important it is to give things in small spaces multiple functions."

Before: Chic fireplace update

A cozy lounge reminiscent of a martini bar was Pasadena homeowner Carolyn Powers's wish.

The reality, however, was a charmless room with a dated fireplace covered in brick and hand-painted drywall.



After: Chic fireplace update

To achieve her dream of a glamorous hideaway, Powers turned to designer Jennifer Charleston, who began by extending the fireplace 6 feet along the wall and adding a mantel and storage cubby for firewood.

Before: Venice cottage

An 800-square-foot ramshackle structure was the starting point for Joe and Kalli Rivers Altieri's four-year project. "The owner actually paid me to fix it up enough so that he was able to legally sell it to me," Joe says.

Now the front entry hints at the creativity to come.

Before: San Francisco garage

Architect Jonathan Feldman increased livable space ― but not the home's footprint ― by smartly reconfiguring an existing structure. [/size]



After: San Francisco garage

Feldman transformed half of the detached structure into this 400-square-foot guest room and office.

Before: Amazing cottage makeover

These two tiny houses, each measuring 640 square feet, sat next to eachother for more than 80 years. The one-bedroom cottages were smaller than any other homes in the working-class neighborhood of Albany, California, and it seemed the only way to expand either one was to build up or start over.

That was until artist Michael Shemchuk drove by. Now the house is a colorful, contemporary gem, with a stunning dining room where the driveway used to be.



After: Amazing cottage makeover

The remodel is low, unobtrusive, and in scale with the rest of the homes on the street. The light-diffusing glass brightens the interior while creating privacy.

Before: Midcentury comeback

Overgrown ivy and brick retaining walls cluttered the front of this home in Sherman Oaks, California.



After: Midcentury comeback

Sometimes you have to go backward before you can clearly see how to move forward. For Guy and Jennifer Genis, renovating a midcentury modern home meant returning to its roots. Their goal: to unearth the original design features while endowing the space with ease and comfort.
