A Dated Detached Home Gets a Modern Glam Makeover
When partners Leslie and Tim moved back into Leslie's childhood home (into her childhood bedroom, to be exact!) with their pooch and Tim's golf equipment, things were more than a little cramped. Luckily, Property Brothers' Jonathan and Drew Scott were there to help. Drawing inspiration from Leslie's love of bling and the couple's penchant for modern upgrades, Jonathan gave them a home of their own to fall in love with. Here's an inside look.

The neutral armchairs still make a statement when combined with a luxe faux fur area rug and gold geometric side table.

Touches of gold are seen throughout the living area, such as the modern coffee table's glam legs, which lend style without compromising the room's open and airy feel. To add more warmth, Jonathan opted for wooden elements like the lantern and serving tray.Property BrothersA Dated Detached Home Gets a Modern Glam MakeoverGlam Details

There's also a handy chalkboard wall, which is where the couple keeps track of the names of all the neighbourhood dogs!Property BrothersA Dated Detached Home Gets a Modern Glam MakeoverDining Space

These dining room chairs are soft and cushiony, but thanks to their streamlined design, they fit perfectly into a smaller space.Property BrothersA Dated Detached Home Gets a Modern Glam MakeoverSimple Furnishings

This isn't the largest kitchen island Jonathan has ever installed, but that's because the couple wasn't a fan of the breakfast bar look. Instead, the installment acts as extra counter and storage space (and even features a wine fridge).Property BrothersA Dated Detached Home Gets a Modern Glam MakeoverMaximized Space
