Ten years ago, Chanel and Jeff moved into their dream neighborhood—with a catch. Prices for homes were steep, and it was the only house on the street they could afford. Though it had plenty of issues, the couple knew this was the area where they wanted to raise their children, so they jumped at the opportunity to buy the house. They were excited to get to work renovating, and made plans for a mid-century modern dream space. Soon after, Chanel and Jeff started having kids, and the home projects they wanted to tackle slowly became unrealistic. On this episode of Don’t Hate Your House Chanel and Jeff teamed up with Drew and Jonathan to finally make their home what they always wanted it to be.
But they sure were in for it. Almost everything was original from the 1960s, and it seemed as though every part of the house had something that needed fixing. The ovens were unsafe to handle; the fireplace leaked when it rained; there was a random room in the center of the main living space that served no purpose; the terrazzo floors were cracking apart; the kitchen was completely dysfunctional; the list goes on! But moving wasn’t an option—they said they’d most likely have to move out of California to get something comparable. The house was anxiety-inducing for Chanel, so the Bros wanted to turn this place around so their home can finally feel like a haven.
Before and Afters
Removing the Wall to Make the Space Functional
The funhouse mirrors in the spare junk drawer room are gone! Though unexpected significant structural work meant Chanel and Jeff had to cut costs in other areas of the home, they were still able to achieve a bright, functional new layout that made sense for their style and needs.
An Open Layout for Better Flow
With the random catch-all room finally out of sight, the couple was able to expand their kitchen and create that open-concept look they needed for their home to feel cohesive and stylish. Now, the transition from the front door into the rest of the house is welcoming, open, and airy.
Add a Touch of Style and Sophistication to the Bar
Chanel was finally able to get her bar updated and organized, with a new face that boasts a cool pop of color and updated shelving and storage that keeps the clutter out.
A Central Place to Share Meals and Conversation
Keeping consistent with that chic mid-century color palette, the Bros ran the cozy warm-wood tones throughout the decor and furniture as well. The main dining area looks sophisticated and modern, with plenty of seating for friends and family.
A Large and Welcoming Island
One of the most important things to Chanel and Jeff was to make that dream kitchen a reality. And we must say, it’s gorgeous! The oversized kitchen island offers a central place to prep food, connect with the kids after school, host friends and family—and it’s the perfect way for their new open layout kitchen to feel structured.
Somewhere Cool & Comfortable to Chill
This living room got a fabulous mid-century upgrade with furniture additions that complement the size and style of the space, and fun pops of color and texture that let your eye move throughout the room with interest.
“I feel so much peace right now,” Chanel says.
