First Floor Fixes Jan 30, 2015 New Parents Chris and Amy continue their renovation of the historic 1903 Detroit home that was once owned by Chris' great-grandparents. The living room is falling apart, with plaster chipping off of the ceiling and broken pocket doors. They restore the room to its former glory, complete with a cement tiled fireplace facade and built-in bookshelf where the old radiator used to be. They also add a powder room with dramatic custom design wallpaper.

The Renovation Generation Feb 6, 2015 New parents Chris and Amy start the renovation of a historic 1903 Detroit home that they bought at auction. In the 1920's, the house was owned by Chris's great-grandparents, who lost it in the Depression. They demolish the kitchen, transform a butler's pantry into a new breakfast nook, and update the whole room with modern appliances and custom cabinetry.

Master Sweet Feb 13, 2015 New parents Chris and Amy continue their renovation of the historic 1903 Detroit home that was once owned by Chris' great-grandparents. They update their master suite with salvaged closet doors and an antique mantel in the bedroom. They completely gut the bathroom and re-build it, featuring a huge new shower and reproduction subway tile. They also tuck a time capsule into the wall that they hope will be found by a future generation.

Baby Proofed Bathroom Feb 13, 2015 New parents Chris and Amy continue their renovation of the historic 1903 Detroit home that was once owned by Chris' great-grandparents. Before their daughter Ruby starts crawling, they have to rebuild a bathroom - a shell of room with a giant hole in the floor. They salvage the early 1900's tub and transform the bathroom into a charming space with custom wallpaper inspired by the original design. They also renovate a guest bedroom by repairing the existing beadboard and sanding and staining the original pine wood sub-floor.

Garage Rescue Feb 20, 2015 New parents Chris and Amy continue their renovation of the 1903 Detroit home that was once owned by Chris' great-grandparents. Before winter hits, they must tackle some outdoor projects. The front porch is in need of a face-lift, and the garage is a crumbling, dangerous mess. They restore the garage, keeping the original dormer intact.

Piano Room Party Feb 27, 2015 New parents Chris and Amy finish their renovation of the historic 1903 Detroit home that was once owned by Chris' great-grandparents. Their last project is the piano room - where Chris's pianist great-grandmother used to play - and the foyer, where his entire family once posed for the 1926 portrait that now hangs on his wall. They celebrate with a big party, and everything comes full circle as they re-create the family portrait in front of the foyer's staircase.
