1920s Mediterranean-Inspired Home Refresh in Michigan | Magnolia Network

During your finish meeting, you said it was true stoffer colors and then i noticed the colors you were wearing ... snap.❤❤❤

A beautiful transformation. Personally I couldn’t live in those colors, along with grey skies it feels too dismal and would be depressing for me. I’d be needing an injection of sun. However, that doesn’t take away from what was accomplished here. The attention to detail and excellent space planning allows the house to shine, as well as function excellently as a family home. I hope they enjoy it for many years.

Beauty is in the eye in the beholder. I prefer something cozy, warm, and lived in. This is a trophy home for sure, but not for everyone.

Will a garage be built again on the property?

Beautifully executed.

Jean and Grace, Love your design concepts. A question please… would you ever consider using a touch of color in your designs? Just curious!

I wish the front door was darker. It seems to fade into the painted brick. The kitchen is stunning ❤

Another fabulous project! ❤

Wow, stunning. Another amazing renovation and design. 🎉

I enjoy the attention to detail and quality, but I do not understand the total lack of color in all of the spaces. The color palette is so subdued and limited the only splash of color is the plants. The art can barely be seen because it fades into the background. I love the muted tones, but you are so talented. Could you show us a project that has a more varied color palette? Thank you.

Living room will not be used much. Family and guests will.hang in the combined kitchen family room.

Absolutely Beautiful ❤

This woman / mom is paralyzingly unpleasant

Extremely depressing. Lifeless

Ya'll continue to do your magic with such style and charm. Exquisite! 🥀

I loving these design videos but the people need makeup. They look like dead people on camera. The lighting needs work.

Twenty years ago I purchased two matching sofas for my large living room. They were on sale and I went to 2 of their stores looking for them. They were good quality but really inexpensive. My living room was perfect for them in the L shape. I couldn’t afford a modular sofa. I am so happy I bought them. No one was showing 2 sofas in rooms at that time. I paired them with matching vintage Ethan Allen wood framed with upholstery chairs. I’m so fortunate to have a high barn shaped ceiling in my living room. I think I have made a very inviting and comfortable room.

Several years ago I had my bedroom painted soft bunny gray. I hate it. I don’t know what I was thinking. I love color. I had purchased a bedspread at Pottery Barn and matched it to the walls. Gray is not my color. Since I’m disabled I can’t paint it myself. I’ll have to live with it until I die.

I think the house is pretty, but I wouldn't want the butler's pantry and formal dining room so far away from the kitchen.

Maybe when the homeowners move in they will add their own accessories and drapes to add colour to the home. I get using a neutral drenched palette for a spec home but this is for a family to live in. The renovations are awesome but the colour of the exterior need to be revisited. The front door just fades into oblivion and the front of the home looks extremely boring and flat. Beautiful home, it just needs to be warmed up with some actual colour.

The house is beautiful, but the colors just didn't wow me at all! except for in the kitchen! Now that space was a dream! I also wish they would have chosen a different color for the outside of the house as well but overall; the transformation was awesome!

I love your work but I felt like you didn’t keep with a true Spanish style home. The tile in one of the room s had a marble and what was there was a ceramic tile…I would think you would have replaced it with terracotta tile to give it a more Spanish style.

I dunno. Still seems very....dull or something. From the exterior paint to the soft colored interior....it's just not hitting me right. If the owners like it, GREAT. But it would not be for me personally.

I’m sorry to be negative but I’ve watched several of these transformations and I just keep seeing the same things over and over, same colors, similar kitchen designs. These women are clearly very talented but I would love to see them do something out of their wheelhouse, something more vibrant

Yuck. Far too Neutral, NOT enough color and layering. It is "pretty" but looks uncomfortable and personally I would NEVER want to live in that simple space. This home screams, ESCAPE to me. So much work for a wasted effort.

Its all so beautiful! I love your work so much! You always get it right ❤

I bet the front door is a solid wood with a beautiful grain. A lovely dark stain would have been my choice. I don’t think the original exterior brick color would have been “blah” with the appropriate trim colors. The reason the brick was in such good condition for being 100 years old was because it wasn’t painted. I also agree with others here that now you have a weird layout with the dining room and butler’s pantry in the front of the house and the kitchen in the rear. It doesn’t make sense. If you’re going to live in the open plan garage conversion on the back of the house, why buy that house for your family?

So blah

I’m seeing rooms that will be rarely used. And I’m not seeing a Mediterranean house, just modern.
