In this Episode
Discover the hidden potential in a small-town 1840s home. See how real estate agent Lee Caswell and his partner Blaise Gaetz — both co-chairs of the Port Hope Architectural Conservancy — converted a parlour into a stately principal suite, updated the kitchen and living room, and accentuated the authenticity of their period house with antiques and charming accents. H&H's Cameron MacNeil and Sarah Hartill reveal their favourite finds and trends from 2012's Interior Design Show, including glossy black cabinets, colourful wallpaper patterns, modular tiles and more! Finally, learn how to transform a basic Ikea table into a stone-finished, multifunctional DIY kitchen counter, dining table or crafting surface.
