Amy teams up with her good friend Bill McCallum to transform a 1920’s bungalow that has been “remuddled” over the years. Mismatched windows, a bizarre floor plan, and an abundance of vinyl and wall paneling have left this potential beauty stuck in the 60’s and desperate for a renovation. With a cohesive vision and bold design plan, Amy and Bill uncover the bungalow's natural beauty and charming craftsman style, while incorporating modern design elements to bring this lackluster home back to life.

It’s nice to see a designer do justice to a Craftsman Bungalow!

Can't believe this channel does not have the 20,000,000 subs it deserves.

Thank you, Joshua! We appreciate our amazing subscribers!

[@irmayorke9075]

What a beautiful transformation.

[@svietka202]

i savored every min of this design. most perfect result

[@sakinahabdul-jaleel]

IKR, ME TOO! Just perfection

[@SeaTurtle515]

I agree!

[@moonwitch1]

LOL, my dad is a classic musician and he too was building his entire life in order to be able to show something he did.

[@VirendraKumar-on1jb]

Very peaceful place

[@joantrotter3005]

Love everything but the kitchen backsplash! Those tiles are not the right style for the house in my opinion. And I would want a BIG back deck, but if you just want room for a small barbecue grill, then it works?

[@steveborealis]

AWESOME JOB, AMY!!! (and inspiring...!)

[@marilynsitaker4198]

What a wonderful gem you've created. So many exciting design choices, yet the good bones shine through. Love every space. Glad you kept the clothesline pole in the back yard!

[@susanwinters8640]

Beautiful job, amazing remodel.

[@joyw.3999]

You made this little house look so beautiful - I especially love the downstairs shower and the kitchen. OMG - I would love that kitchen in my little house. It was just beautiful and I love how you exposed the old fireplace brick and kept everything beautiful like the old woodwork. And adding a touch of modern gave it some shine😍😍😍

[@rneustel388]

I wish this was on paper where I could study every bit of this darling house! After a result like this, I could never have sold it.

[@shandelebroyles1099]

Pause and screenshot. I did the kitchen and bathrooms.

[@rneustel388]

@@shandelebroyles1099 Thanks so much!!

[@carolynsmith9184]

Bravo. Honoring the original bones and charm by bringing in todays best elements.

[@shandelebroyles1099]

I do have one thing I wish you could have tweaked. That's the color of the stain on the new trim. I know you were trying to put back what should have already been there and you guys did a great job with it. But it's just a hair off. I don't even know if you could get it the perfect shade, so.....🤷🏻‍♀️ No matter, you guys did such a great job with the trim. It looks like it's always been there!! *Beautiful!!* 💙🤎

[@shandelebroyles1099]

*I luv what you guys did!!* *It's beautiful!!!* 💙🤎

[@watersnake5319]

Wow I have a house built in 1925 and I dream of doing Some demo but nothing that alters the original design or feeling overly much. Watching these shows is so motivational and very helpful with ideas.

[@eatplaydecorate]

Great new series for this network. I hope they bring back Commissioned and Rehabbed as well.

[@alonzojohnson7955]

Kitchen upgrade is dope

[@veroniquepeltier3631]

An amazing surprise!

[@annettelarson2707]

Love everything!

[@ivyandroses25]

Great palette. Love all the unpainted wood accents. Really don't understand not staging the back "sunroom" with zero purpose into a breakfast nook or an office. Seemed like a missed opportunity to me.

[@marciamellow1211]

Absolutely fabulous Job well done...love

[@aprilm9551]

Love the interior, and most of the changes in the exterior as well. However, the back 'deck' is much too small. It looks cheap and makes the back of the house look bad. I would not even call that a deck, it's really just a small landing.

[@lsamoa]

Excellent work. The dining area in particular is stunning!

[@debrap947]

Took a really long time, drawn out to say the least, repeat pictures of rooms, and on and on...but the end result is beyond stunning. So happy for the new homeowners.

[@shandelebroyles1099]

Seriously...... It was just 26:02 mins long . 🙄

[@shandelebroyles1099]

You needed to add a small task light under the trim over the sink. I am sure it would be helpful. But it would also help even the lighting out under the cabinets all the way around. Without it, it looks dark at the sink area. *But still luv it!!!!* 💙🤎

[@sarahthb]

Gorgeous remodel!

[@veronicabone8835]

Amazing!!!

[@jenniferstark4834]

Where did those kitchen tiles come from ❤️

[@brandnewyorker]

Such a skillful design and execution!

[@onegirlrev]

This was wonderful!

[@OhJanney]

Wonderful

[@SeaTurtle515]

Wow! Absolutely Stunning! My first time watching this channel. Very impressed. New subscriber.

[@TheDesignNetwork]

Welcome aboard!

[@shandelebroyles1099]

I've been subscribed but this is the first video I've seen since I did sub. Not sure why. I watched Amy year's ago on TV. Happy to see this.

[@annettemarado3668]

Incredible

[@lisas8244]

I think it's fascinating that designers think whatever is trending at the moment (I've seen all these tiles on many other renovation programs) will be "timeless". History has proven that assumption and declaration to be false.

[@shandelebroyles1099]

🙄

[@angelaangella24]

Hello What color are the walls. What off whites are your favorites and go to colors? What strategies do you use to pick your wall colors? Love the remodel

[@rebeccavalicoff1581]

I wonder why they didn't expand the kitchen instead of that small room next to it.

[@sacdigitaldesignweb]

From basement you can tell the house was well built. But the design is generic. I like the original exposed beams and pipes which give a unique industrial vibe.

[@DL-by8el]

What did you do for heating and air?

[@libramagyk]

I love everything aside from the multiple tile styles in the basement bathroom..just too busy..like you weren't quite sure which tile was preferred..plus very non cohesive in my opinion

[@shandelebroyles1099]

I have some questions about painting the siding. I have siding just like it, only faded green, 😬 I was told I couldn't paint it, then they painted the house next door with the same siding. 😏 Do you have an email?? Or maybe a video on how and what to do?? 💙

[@sugarXcones]

Can’t paint vinyl siding dark colors because it can warp. You can paint aluminum siding any color you want. This house they said was aluminum siding.

[@jilliansilveira7511]

no more barn doors please

[@kathyw.854]

Beautiful remodel. Annoying designer's comments about the old design - we get it, the previous remodelers didn't know how to keep the craftsman design...there's no need to tell how ugly and awful it was every two seconds!!

[@phyllisarrington7436]

Kitchen backsplash. 👎
