Love, love, love that first kitchen. Wow.

dang... those canuks know what's up, eh?

Wonderful post. They made such great and airy use of small spaces!

those are some great Afters! That looks like so much fun!

I also love that first kitchen. It made me happy to see some reminders of rooms that they've done that I've liked, because I have often felt that some of their makeovers have been fully of cheesy trends, rather than timeless style. I think you found some of the treasures. Those two are are a riot on tv.

i love the use of color. i think i am about to go waste an hour;)

Those rooms are AH-MAZ-ING. Exactly my style. I think I cut and paste about 10 of the pics into my inspiration folder. Thanks for the great find!

Amazing. This why I adore you! You are always find these great new sites full of inspiration. Those rooms are beyond beautiful. It makes me want to re-do every room in my house and I was just starting to finally finish up. I saved this site so that I can lose myself in it when I get home from work.

boy,
this post is a great educational tool for any potential design client.
especially the ones that have never experienced design in their lives 1st hand.

no doubt about it, int. design is a real art form.

love this post , obviously !

this is awesome! My hub and I are buying a home with lots of reno work ahead of us...that first kitchen is very doable.

It's my first house. Sites like yours have been a total boon to me! Thanks for what you do! It's really helpful!

I am so in love with that kitchen! The ceiling is amazing.

I love craftsman bungalows too! There are actually a few tolerable bungalows around the Pomfret area. (And my most favorite modern house is hidden in Putnam..)

But those "before" pictures are panic inducing! My nightmare. Great post!

oh my god, those MIRRORS. looks like my uncle's basement from the 70s. way to shape it up, canada!

Before's and After's certainly are the most fun to see but I notice that most high-end designers never do the 'before's on their sites so this is fun to see.

Chelsea- where is your most favorite house in Putnam? I must stalk it!

Wow! Those are some impressive transformations.

those photos are amazing! thanks for posting!! i'm pretty sure i will be spending way too much work time on this site.

great before & afters!!!

INCREDIBLE inspiration! Thanks so much sharing... now that we get to see it, it wasn't at all time wasted on your part!

You warned me, but I really didn't think I'd spend ALL night gawking at the pictures!! Too bad HGTV in the US doesn't have such amazing pics :( And what's all this talk about Pomfret and Putnam?! I'm from Thompson and stalk houses daily...do share the goodies :)

The wonderful modern house in Putnam is tucked away on what I call Putnam hill. (ha).
It's near Kelly's Tire and that baseball field. I'll have to find the proper street name. But just try to drive higher and higher up the hill and there it is tucked away among a nest of other houses.
White stucco, very square, a pool, small but fantastic.

I'll get the street name next time I am home!

I love before and after photos.
It really makes you realize the transformation that has occurred. What an amazing design team.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.
