A Crooked Home Transforms into a Chic and Colourful Family Retreat
Homeowners Katie and Michael knew investing in a house with structural issues (think uneven floors and staircases) was a bit of a gamble, but they had faith in the Property Brothers to transform it into something remarkable for themselves and their three children. Thankfully, after a rainstorm of bad news and some creative rejigging, Jonathan Scott converted it into functional space featuring bold pops of colour and cheerful patterns to reflect the happy place it's now become.
