There are remodeling television shows for bedrooms and basements, kitchens and closets. If it's a space in your home, there's a show dedicated to making it over. You might not know it, but many of the stories you see on TV could be from your own neighborhood.

creative idea for under cabinet lighting!

Sneek peek

Just finished filming a new I Hate My Kitchen

Think outside the box for lighting

wall sconces don't only need to go on a blank wall

how about your backsplash!

I choose these tin punched sconces to go in a arts and crafts mexican flair kitchen!

Love it!

Stay tuned for reclaimed bowling alley wood countertops and aritsan tile!

NEW SWEAT EQUITY TONIGHT

Watch tonight 8pm central
DIY Network
New Sweat Equity!
 A arts and crafts kitchen I designed!
The hood is to die for - hand made metal copper hood - GORGEOUS!
 Nick & Jessica have a 1920's craftsman bungalow that has been meticulously kept up over the years
- except for the dated kitchen. The only advantage it has currently is that it is quite large,
but they need more storage and counter space and some major changes to the layout.
They've had their kitchen remodel on hold for a couple years,
but once their faucet stopped working they figured it was time to bite the bullet and make a major overhaul.
Sweat Equity boost - $10,391
