| High real estate prices can force homebuyers into settling for second or third best. Views are sacrificed for space, style takes a backseat to location. No matter. "Renovate" proves that even the drabbest digs can find new life. From a minimalist Chicago loft to a cozy Los Angeles bungalow, these 30 homes were all lackluster dwellings that have reemerged as fabulous places to live. Each makeover, from the highly pragmatic to the purely aesthetic, is well illustrated with before and after photos, and all include floor plans. Divided into seven style-specific chapters, including lofts, ranch houses, apartments, and suburban homes, the book presents homeowners with a wealth of helpful, easily implemented design lessons and provides creative solutions to renovation problems. It is truly "What the Pros Know" about going from gut to glory. |
