Alexis and Adam are in lifestyle shock: the arrival their son Hudson has meant that this formerly 'out and about' couple is now decidedly housebound but their 1980s kitchen just isn't happening anymore.

Marketing executives Kristen and Dave bought their modest first home a few years ago and undertook the much-needed renovations themselves. They did a great job removing walls and installing a new kitchen but then ran out of steam.

Claudia and Justin are professional foodies - he's a chef and she's a food stylist. So it's no surprise that their urban loft space has a beautifully designed modern kitchen.

Building their dream home was easy for Ania and Walter - but the hard work was deciding how to decorate their vast master bedroom.

Sixteen-year-old Lindsay has outgrown her childhood bedroom and is ready to leave her hand-me-down furniture and kiddy colours in the past.

Professional photographer Virginia loves her cottage-style home in the city - but lately it doesn't love her back.
