House Hunters Renovation: A Connecticut Couple Tries to Blend Their Clashing Styles

Jeremiah and Mosi want to get out of their cramped apartment and into a larger home of their own. But while Jeremiah wants an older house with traditional details like beadboard and defined rooms, Mosi wants a newer place with modern details like an open floor plan and clean lines. Adding to the challenge, their agent Denise Walsh needs to find a house that also has a cook's kitchen for Mosi, a creative space where Jeremiah can practice his singing and a large yard for their dogs. With little to no renovation experience, a fixer is a daunting thought but the guys may have to compromise along the way to get their dream home. Together they'll face the world of construction along with a long list of remodeling troubles from asbestos issues to sewer pipe leaks. Luckily they have designer Diane Gerardi and contractor Rob Murphy on board to help them out. But all the stress will be worth it when they can finally enjoy a beautiful new bathroom and gourmet kitchen that are the perfect blend of what they've both always wanted.
