1. Embrace the Quirks You Love

It's okay to preserve the funkiest parts of your home. These homeowners loved their home's midcentury modern fireplace so much, they decided to preserve it instead of replacing it. Jonathan and Drew obliged, and styled the living room to match the fireplace while bringing in modern touches like open shelving and recessed lighting.

2. Don't Replace What Can Be Reused

Prior to renovation on Don't Hate Your House, these cabinets were stained a honey color, giving the kitchen major 90s vibes — but the millwork was in excellent shape, so the bros opted to sand and paint the existing cabinets, which saved a significant amount of money. Now, the new cream-colored cabinets set a traditional-chic tone for the entire space.

3. Get Creative in Small Spaces

Overcome a small footprint by letting some furniture and spaces pull double duty. In this kitchen, Drew and Jonathan created an island with a built-in bench, which serves as one half of the dining room seating. The coolest thing about the bench, however, is its hidden storage compartment: The seat lifts up to reveal ample space for spare plates, table clothes and more.
