Before & After: A Narrow And Disjointed House Turns Into An Airy Oasis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2023
- “My client’s first request was to make their home bright, airy and completely opposite to what they had been living in,” says designer Lisa Kooistra. By injecting a neutral palette and opening up the kitchen, Lisa helped them transform their narrow and disjointed house into a modern and airy retreat. Don't miss the dreamy kitchen with a walk-in pantry or the sophisticated living room with a modern fireplace and applied moldings!

What a transformation! Just getting rid of those beams makes so much difference!
I love how warm this is as opposed to just being white. Light and airy can still be done without just making everything white. Bravo!
everything is beige though
There isn’t one single design that I dislike. These designers are magnificent. They honestly need their own HGTV.
What an amazing transformation! Its so chic and airy!
Love it! 😍 but there's one thing I don't like at all ,and is the desk by the oven ? I
This looks really nice. In a long, narrow space the neutrals make sense, because they bring in light and open things up. Beautiful work!
Brilliant job ! 🤩 (the pantry and deleted columns were masterstroke)
Love this home, very much my style and color pallet. Gorgeous!
Stunning space. Love the open kitchen and the mixture of textures. Great job!
Gorgeous transformation with great vibes!
So very beautiful! It’s quite the transformation. I love all the details, focal interest, as well as functionality. It’s a completely different space and so bright and fresh. Well done.
What a beautiful transformation. Thanks for sharing! 🏘
I like it. I'm usually tired of neutral but this was nice somehow. Neutral without tge feeling of neutral. Can't explain exactly but it is very pleasing
Gorgeous!
Omg that seamless cabinet door is such a brilliant idea!
Lisa did a great job on changing this home. It is definitely bight, airy and beautiful.
Beautiful design. Beautiful home 🏡
looks so peaceful, feels like home. I wish they had shown the entire house
Looks very soothing and calming. I love it
Great job - these townhouses are a design challenge for sure and they made it light and inviting!
Absolutely stunning! The use of texture and natural elements and neutral colours to create this once narrow and dark space is beautiful! Well done!👏👏👏❤
Lovely!
Very tasteful and logical remodel-- you guys crushed it
Spectacular. I don't know how the renovation/redecoration could have been done better. It's perfect for families who respect their furnishings as all of the light colours are not suitable for everyone to maintain. I love the slim painted-out molding on the long wall. It's more effective than having considered molding at the top of the walls. The kitchen storage is realistic for today's living. I don't know how our mothers and grandmothers cooked in such limited space. But then we didn't use to cook so many diverse food or use so many small appliances.
My home is only four years old, but I would like to renovate it, almost exactly like this project.
So fresh, contemporary, and spacious.
Young families with children and pets are incompatible with the white sofa.
Just beautiful! I'd love to see the upstairs rooms. 😉
beautiful!!
Well done. This transformation gave the home a fresh and current presence yet not over done.
I love seeing new designs. Thank you, House and Home!
Outstanding redesign! Thank you. Love it.
Love the look. But, they appear to have lost ability to have 2 chairs in the living area and now just sofa and one chair that is not as cushy. The kitchen is lovely but appears bigger than the living area. Those sheers look great, but likely do not provide privacy at night if neighbors are behind them. The entry looks flipped vs before picture but is huge improvement. The three airy matching ceiling light fixtures leading you from entry to back of home is inspired idea.
I love the white faucet. Definitely the right choice
what an incredible transformation. It is SO beautiful!! A work of art, so inviting, calming ...very talented team for sure, ty for sharing!!
This is lovely.
Power of white and off white❤
Smart design ideas and a really great transformation. Well done Lisa!!
So pretty. What a beautiful transformation
What a fabulous transformation! You would never think it is a townhouse in Milton...looks very chic.
You nailed it with the light and airy.beautiful.
It feels so warm and airy
Wow. Beautiful transformation
Wow, stunning! I wish your videos included renovation budget/costs, that would be really helpful
Great transformation, cosy and classy, well done !!! 👌👍❤
Really impressed by this particular transformation
I like how warm it feels, but my child would have the pillows on the floor because as she states “she needs to stretch out” -to many pillows, especially if multiple people need to sit. Also for me personally I’m done with open concept- having the kitchen that close to the living room with all the smells from the cooking, big no. Plus from my experience with having a light couch it get’s dirty fast!! Every few months I have to steam clean to get the dirt out - so the colours all thou pretty not practical for a family.
I agree... open concept isn’t my preference. I prefer rooms with doors that close...
Stunning !
Very airy, love every inch...👌
I like the design & decor. The house is now cozy.
Absolutely gorgeous!
stunning
Beautiful warm minimalist design
This is excellent! Well done! Talented designers :)
I love it!
Fresh and gorgeous
Uncluttered, clean lines, restful design- great improvement.
Beautiful!!
Looks amazing now!
If I lived alone ... sigh ... so relaxing, almost beachy.
very beautiful
Nice design!🎉
Just by looking at those transformation, I was inspired and motivated to think on how I can update my rooms too. 🤭✨
Very pretty space
Good job 👏
I LOVE IT😍
Pretty..❤
I love the design… soothing and peaceful… love the colours. Please what paint colour are the walls ?
This is perfect 😍
Nice job
Light and bright.
that is so gorgeous!! I wish you were accessible where we are to help design our very challenging space!
Love everything about this. I was especially impressed by the white faucet lol, never knew that existed . Looks like it cost a fortune
Love it! Def my esthetic. I would like to know where the light fixtures are from
Very nice
I love your design absolutely stunning. I need a designer just moved into a condo in Collingwood
"Very outdated and dark" is definitely a stretch.
Beautifully done!
Wow❤❤
wow
I like your channel❤❤❤
Love the colours and design, but would not like to be sitting on my sofa looking out onto my kitchen all the time... And sorry for ththe desk nook, that’s really small and a bit sad. Just use it to display nice things but the kids would sit elsewhere, I suppose.
a great work and love it , what colour do you use for the wall and cabinet ? its so nice .
Nice video
Love this whole look! Especially Love this dining room chairs!!! Where can I get them?
Nice job in the narrow footprint...Remodeling contractor in Philly for over 3 decades; Our row homes are similar in width...About 16 feet wide 50 feet long, It's brutal but; all you can do is make it better than it was...This was well executed by the contractors...Designers are fabric pickers...I've worked with the best...They love using fixtures or materials, that are hard to get, and have long lead times...It's the contractors that should get the glory. NOT the "designer" They only make jobs more difficult, expensive and kill your time.
Beautiful renovation!
Charming! What paint color in the living room please? Warm white love it.
Beautiful design & beautiful houses ❤❤❤
The change of dark flooring and cabinets to blond wood and white cabinets really makes a huge difference. The entrance is more open as well. Nicely done. The only thing that needs to change is that small sofa and chair to a sectional seating for more people if you have children.
I loved everything in this home. What is the distance between the kitchen island and the kitchen window? I would appreciate for an answer,
thank you!
that is MUJI style 😍😍😍
Love this ❤
I love every single piece, every single detail, I would like to get info about where to buy and why not the total reno cost.
You cannot tell that kids live here at all - the desk squished up by the oven made me so sad!
@Izzy Turner-Hicks I was looking for this comment! No child doing homework is EVER going to choose to sit facing a wall, in a cupboard-sized nook, to work. Not when they can use one of the four stools on the island, the dining table, sit on the sofa or floor .... or use their bedrooms. Pointless design feature - very surprising.
And right next to a (potentially) hot oven!!
Imagine them choosing to display post-modern artwork and aesthetic over their children's 'play' desk area.
Pretty concept and decor but the desk was way too small for anyone to use for practical
Reasons . Wasted space.
where did you get the counter stools? I love them!
Love what you did with this home! It’s gorgeous! Please don’t put a question mark on the end of almost every sentence. Hard to listen to. Sorry.
How are you hearing a question at the end of the sentences though? I think it’s more your hearing and interpretation.
I notice that in a lot of commentators these days. People used to end their sentences with a lower tone, now they go up. It's like everyone now has a Valley Girl cadence =D
Thank you! I’m sure she’s a nice person but her Val habit is chafing.
Love under island storage and the light feel. Not a fan of the matte white pot filler though 🤔
So calming! Absolutely beautiful! What is the countertop material, please?
I would love to know that too!! Backsplash also, pleaseee
Looks lovely ❤ but cannot stand spotlights in a living room.
I love the colour palette but the design is quite stark. So sad about the old staircase, it was gorgeous, but then again modern is just not my style. Happy for the homeowners though.
Gorgeous… but… I liked the old couch… 😆 I wonder what the kids vote was on the couch and their desk.
Love it!
