The expanded space is freshened up with white walls and new dark-stained oak flooring that unites the whole first floor. Jeff, who runs his own custom countertop business, Concrete Encounter, made the concrete fireplace surround.
How They Saved

me and another guy eight Saturdays to rip out all the old plumbing and
wiring, as well as the plaster walls, which were under a layer
of drywall,” Jeff says. “But it was worth it.”
Estimated savings: $2,000
