Before and After: A '70s Airstream Gets Saved from Shag Carpeting
Sheena and Jason’s vintage Airstream is a soothing, lovely, bohemian dream on wheels. They travel the States in it with their beautiful dog Riley. Now the interior is all-white, with natural textures and bold patterns, but it sure didn’t look that way when they bought it.

Before and After: The Total Transformation of a Tiny Studio
Francis decided to rent this small (like, only 365 square feet) studio apartment in Miami when he got sick of his commute to work from Fort Lauderdale. The seven-minute drive from his office was nice, but the old, dirty looking tiles and the outdated kitchen were not.

'The Cher Show's' Broadway Dressing Room Transformation Will Make You Believe
Stephanie J. Block‘s dressing room at the Neil Simon Theatre has housed some top-notch talent within its hallowed walls, the likes of which include Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, and most recently, Nathan Lane (who took home the Tony for his performance in “Angels in America”). While it has quite the pedigree, Block is no stranger to the spotlight, having built a career playing fan favorite roles and literal living icons. The latest, of course, is Cher, in Broadway musical “The Cher Show,” which spans six decades of hits and requires no less than three actors to portray the titular diva at different points of her career and life.

Before & After: A Cookie Cutter Suburban Home-Turned-Vintage Surf Hideaway — House Tour
Name: Rachel and Nick Kuchar
Location: Ewa Beach, Hawaii
Size: 2,040 square feet
Years lived in: 5 years, owned
We turned our cookie cutter suburban home into the vintage surf hideaway we had dreamed of. We were given a 1950s Gordon & Smith longboard from a relative and that began our love affair with the era. I asked my husband, a graphic designer, to make some art for the house since I couldn’t find anything that was just right. My husband now sells the vintage style surf art he designed for our walls.

This Incredibly Chic Dorm Room Makeover Proves No Room is Beyond Hope
Name: Isabella and Mary Ashlyn
Location: LSU, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Melissa Moffett’s daughter Isabella and her roommate Mary Ashlyn’s dorm room went from a cold, grayish, empty room to a cozy and chic space for both studying and relaxing.

Before and After: We Love This No-Reno Bedroom Makeover
This bedroom, pre-makeover, was very relatable: an assortment of cozy fabrics in interesting patterns, a jury-rigged reading light, and a bit of fun thanks to the dartboard. Relatable, but not up to the high standards of its resident, who’s been passionate about interior design since childhood.
