Elektra and Paul loved their charming heritage home. Built in 1924, it packed plenty of character and charm. But the coffee shop owners wanted nothing more than a new main floor and were willing to hand over $50,000 to get the job done. Although Sebastian and Samantha were a little worried about the budget, they got the job done. The renovated <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/kitchens/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">kitchen</a> above features plenty of depth and detail to keep eyes moving thanks to the porcelain counters, proper storage and prefab cabinets.Save My RenoSave My Reno: These Budget-Conscious Transformations Will Inspire You to RenovateDepth and Detail

With the wall partition gone, Elektra and Paul are free to roam comfortably around their modern main floor renovation. Thankfully, the couple were happy to keep all of their furniture, allowing Sebastian and Samantha to stay on budget. Tearing down walls is costly and a step not taken lightly by the <em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/save-my-reno/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Save My Reno</a></em> crew but in this case, it make perfect sense.

Amidst the chaos of the pandemic, Courtlyn decided to move back in with her mom, Kim, to save money and get out of the city. However, the outdated <a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/basements/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">basement</a> she called home wasn't exactly giving off cozy vibes.

Although Courtlyn loved the idea of having a fireplace in her seating area, she wasn't thrilled with the hulking storage spaces on the sides. Originally, she hoped Seb could remove them, but for the sake of staying on budget, he suggested simply upgrading the current model. The results, as we saw in the previous picture, were gorgeous.

There is so much to say about this kitchen. Let's start at the top where Seb and Dan were able to shrink and camouflage a pre-existing bulk head. Below are light and bright upper cabinets with accompanying darker cabinets down below. Inexpensive tiles add a pop of colour (and replace the much-maligned cactus themed tiles that were there). Modern stainless steel appliances complete the look. An entrance way to the right of this picture had been opened up to let in more natural light.

The owners originally had plans for taking out a wall in this space but Sam and Seb were able to find a more inexpensive and stylish option. The big issues in this space including dated tile flooring that didn't match the rest of the house and a banister (on the far left of the picture) that was lacking character. If you are wondering what the green tape on the floor is... it is the line at which all outdoor boots are to never cross.

A fresh coat of paint goes a long way in brightening this space.

And check out the updated bannister. It's a small but impactful update to the space that helps bring together design elements in the hallway and adjoining kitchen.

For $50,000 Davina and Phil got a basement reno that left them speechless. Instead of taking out the fireplace as the homeowners initially wanted, Seb and Sam used it as a centrepiece to create a warm and rustic feel. The stained wood mantle was added, the tiles cleaned and treated, and the hearth got a Portuguese-inspired update. Storage cabinets (which Adina and Phil's son helped with) flank the fireplace on either side. Lots of storage and lots of room to invite neighbourhood friends over.Save My RenoSave My Reno: These Budget-Conscious Transformations Will Inspire You to RenovateRustic, Roomy and Cozy
