Finding the home of your dreams among the walls of your house

No two remodeling projects are the same, but they all stem from common ground: Their owners’ love of surroundings.Even if the home is not quite right, why give up or pass on a lot, view, or neighborhood that’s perfect? Remodeling presents the opportunity of having an address you love and gaining the home you have always wanted.

Expand. Enhance. Adjust. Add on. Reconfigure. It’s all about making your home not just the right size, but the perfect fit—for you, your family, your tastes, and your lifestyle.

As you’ll see in our Consumer’s Guide to Remodeling, remodelers work miracles. It may be in the form of an eye-popping whole-house makeover. Often, it’s the gourmet kitchen of your dreams or the family living space you have always wanted, coaxed out of those four walls by professional craftsmanship.

“A lot of times, clients don’t necessarily see the space they have inside their house,” says Christine Bleyhl, project director for Vujovich Design Build. “They can see the problems, but they don’t see the solutions.”
But remodelers do see solutions and know how to get there, as the homes in this section demonstrate. Each is unique, distinguished by its metamorphosis. Yet each distinct space shares a few similar threads at project’s end: In function and aesthetics, it’s dramatically better for its owners.

Enjoy these stories of remodeling success. Is your home similar to any of these “befores”? Be inspired, and let your imagination lead you to the home that waits within your walls.
