Now that Jonathan and Drew are back in their “home and native land”, they’re tackling renovation projects in and around the Toronto area. In just seven weeks, they managed to turn this tiny, suburban brick bungalow into a slick, open-plan stunner.

On the Hunt
House hunters Julie and Patrick had looked at more than 200 homes in the GTA before calling in the big guns – the Scott brothers. Drew managed to close on this property at $1,360,000, which was just over asking.
![Open Up Wide White walled living room with white couch, black bench and framed artwork](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/2-property-brothers-living-room-white-couch-black-bench.jpg)
Open Up Wide
The modern living area is brimming with character thanks to stylish additions like mid-century modern furniture and framed art prints (note how they’re leaning against the wall instead of hung for a more casual and layered look).

Limited Screen Time
Since the couple decided they didn’t want a TV in their main living area, Jonathan thought up a subtle, eye-catching alternative at the far end of the room – a soft-blue, chevron-patterned shiplap feature wall.

Roughing It
A rough-edged wooden ledge sits on top of a set of custom cabinets on the back wall of the bright and airy living room. Lots of storage was a must on Julie and Patrick’s renovation wish list, which they now have in spades in this contemporary home.
![Go With the Flow Mid century modern dining room table and chairs sit in a modern dining area](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-property-brothers-dining-room-round-table.jpg)
Go With the Flow
The dining room is mere steps from the living room and features a round, wooden dining table (chosen by Jonathan to maximize square footage) that sits directly under a funky, vintage-inspired smokey-glass pendant lamp.
![Trend Sitters Mid century modern dining room chair on a blue rag woven rug](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/6-property-brothers-dining-room-chair.jpg)
Trend Sitters
The curved lines of the mid-century modern furnishings in the dining area make the space feel warm, welcoming and truly on trend.
![Play Pals Raw wood credenza topped with glass vases full of flowers and an aerial beach art print](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/7-property-brothers-dining-room-beach-art.jpg)
Play Pals
The exposed grain of the wood credenza and the beveled-glass vases add texture to the dining room decor, while the aerial beach art print brings in an element of playfulness and fun.
![Closet to You White front hall coat closet with round black handles and a light oak wood floor](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/8-property-brothers-entrance-closet.jpg)
Closet to You
When Julie and Patrick first stepped into this cramped 1,000-square-foot bungalow, one of the first actions the Property Brothers promised to do was open up the narrow entrance and add a proper front-hall coat closet.
![Another Brick in the Wall Round wooden dinning room table opens up to an all white kitchen with stainless steel appliances](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/9-property-brothers-kitchen-table.jpg)
Another Brick in the Wall
Walls came down, hallways were removed and the house opened up to become a shining example of open-concept living, but the revamped bright white kitchen is the star of the (renovation) show.
![Let There Be Light White modern kitchen with quartz countertops and light oak flooring](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/10-property-brothers-kitchen-wood-floors.jpg)
Let There Be Light
The white shaker cabinets, marble-like quartz countertops and light oak floors throughout the kitchen all work together to reflect the natural light streaming in through the space’s new window and glass door.
![When a Door Closes White modern kitchen with quartz countertops, a loaf of bread, bottle of San Pellegrino water and white shaker cabinets](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/11-property-brothers-kitchen-white-quartz-countertop.jpg)
When a Door Closes
With full upper and lower cabinets in the renovated kitchen, Julie and Patrick have plenty of storage options to choose from, checking off one of their most important renovation must-haves.
![Cooking With Gas Stainless steel gas range flanked by white quartz countertops and white shaker cabinets with black metal pulls](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/12-property-brothers-kitchen-appliances.jpg)
Cooking With Gas
A set of new stainless-steel appliances are key to making any new-to-you kitchen feel fresh, updated and modern. The fact that the high-end gas range has six burners is just gravy.
![Double Double A white double sink looks out through a window in an all-white kitchen](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/13-property-brothers-kitchen-white-sink.jpg)
Double Double
A deep double sink is strategically placed below a new window to give the space a burst of natural light – and the designated dish washer something interesting to look at while rinsing.
![Breakfast Belle Small breakfast bar in a white kitchen with white quartz countertops and white shaker cabinets](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/14-property-brothers-kitchen-bar.jpg)
Breakfast Belle
To get some more usable square footage, Jonathan blocked off an entry into the kitchen that was no longer necessary, and turned this prime, floor-plan real estate into a sweet breakfast bar for two.
![Throwing a Stitch Crafting room with white shelving and desk, black industrial style stool and an orange pillow](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/15-property-brothers-craft-room-renovation.jpg)
Throwing a Stitch
As an avid quilter, Julie dreamed of turning one of the property’s four bedrooms into her own personal crafting studio where she could create without getting in Patrick’s way or messing up the house with fabrics and threads.
![Right Brain Design Crafting room with a white desk, sewing machine and magnetic brainstorming board](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/16-property-brothers-craft-room-sewing-machine.jpg)
Right Brain Design
Jonathan listened and worked his design magic…now Julie’s sewing machine and fabric samples are all contained in this brilliantly laid out creative space conceived with Julie’s crafts in mind.
![Barn Raising Party White cupboard with barn doors filled with crafting supplies and white boxes](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/17-property-brothers-craft-room-storage.jpg)
Barn Raising Party
Double-panelled barn doors provide a sleek alternative to traditional cupboard doors, exposing stacks of shelves where Julie’s artistic endeavours can be displayed or stashed away.
![Murphy’s Law Folding Murphy bed lays open with white sheets and an orange throw pillow](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/18-property-brothers-craft-room-murphy-bed.jpg)
Murphy’s Law
Not wanting to waste a single square foot of this compact home, Julie’s craft room also doubles as a guest room, with a cleverly concealed Murphy bed that folds back into its wall casing when not in use.
![Tuck Me In A wooden Murphy bed is in its casing and a wooden desk and chair are beside it in a white room with tall drapes](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/19-property-brothers-craft-room-murphy-bed-up.jpg)
Tuck Me In
When the Murphy bed is tucked away, it looks like a beautiful wooden wardrobe so as not to distract from the clean, organization-focused concept of Julie’s quilting and crafting room.
![Sealed The Deal Modern living room with a white couch, black velvet bench and framed art on the walls](https://assets.hgtv.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/20-property-brothers-living-room-art.jpg)
Sealed The Deal
The Property Brothers not only finally found this exhausted house-hunting couple the perfect fixer-upper but, after a seven-week renovation and a budget of $102,000, they also managed to turn this tiny brick bungalow into Julie and Patrick’s light-filled dream home.
