- Lee & Stevie's Living/Dining Room
E1Lee & Stevie's Living/Dining RoomCreating a living space that works for both kids and adults shouldn't mean you have to compromise on grown-up style. By using natural fibers and turning tired items into fabulous new centerpieces, Samantha Pynn transforms a living/dining room from a playroom into a glamorous living space that's sophisticated enough for a busy working mom yet playful enough for her young daughter. - Tiffany's Bedroom
E2Tiffany's BedroomFor many first-time homeowners, decorating - especially private spaces like the bedroom - is definitely last on the list. That's certainly the case for Tiffany, an up and coming PR executive. By refreshing some of Tiffany's vintage furniture and bringing in some modern pieces and sustainable choices, host Samantha Pynn takes Tiffany's dorm-like bedroom with its mish-mash of furnishings and transforms it into an eclectic and soothing space, full of the sophistication a professional woman deserves. - Alexis & Adam's Kitchen
E3Alexis & Adam's KitchenAlexis 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. It's neither practical nor beautiful so designer Samantha Pynn gives it an eco-friendly and stylish makeover. By taking out the dated metallic back-splash, lacquering their cabinets and updating the furnishings, Samantha converts an open kitchen and living area into a stunning space that is both functional for everyday use and glamorous enough for entertaining. - Kristen & Dave's Main Floor
E4Kristen & Dave's Main FloorMarketing 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. Now they need designer Samantha Pynn's expertise to pull their open concept kitchen/dining/living room together and turn it into the beautiful modern space that they had originally envisioned. Sam transforms the space by installing new floors, wall-mounting their over-sized TV and adding an area rug and solid modern pieces to augment their black leather sofa. By mixing clean lines and curves, color and texture, this memorable main floor is now complete. - Helen & Niall's Nursery
E5Helen & Niall's NurseryHomeowners Helen and Niall are getting nervous - they're a few short months away from the birth of their first child and their never-renovated 1920s home doesn't contain a nursery. Both work full time - so they're relying on designer Samantha Pynn to create a bright and practical room for their new bundle of joy. Sam converts their underutilized spare bedroom into a hip, eco-friendly nursery using bright colors, contemporary baby furniture, colorful accessories and natural materials. Helen and Niall's modern nursery is a warm, welcoming, and playful space for their new baby. - Claudia & Justin's Living/Dining Room
E6Claudia & Justin's Living/Dining RoomClaudia 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. Only problem is, the rest of the space doesn't measure up: it's a mishmash of Danish modern with other inherited and found pieces. Designer Samantha Pynn uses their showpiece kitchen as an inspiration and by recovering older teak pieces with eco-friendly fabrics and redoing the floor plan, she creates a visual harmony between the kitchen and the rest of the space, without spending a lot of money or adding loads to the landfill - Beth's Dining Room
E7Beth's Dining RoomBeth is a busy, successful, single executive whose life consists of five-star hotels, gourmet restaurants and VIP airport lounges. But her own house, a midtown Toronto duplex, doesn't measure up. As a result, she feels more at home on the road than in her own house. Designer Samantha Pynn uses silks, metallic wallpaper, glass tabletops and mirrored doors to transform Beth's dowdy living quarters into a glamorous and luxurious space. She does this while using eco-friendly products such as wallpaper made from fifty percent recycled fibers and salvaged chairs found online. These items find new life with a fresh coat of paint and upholstery. This 'over-the-top' style, which brings Hollywood glamor into everyday living, may have Beth never wanting to leave home again. - Carolyn & Derek's Attic Loft
E10Carolyn & Derek's Attic LoftLongtime homeowners Carolyn and Derek have a wonderfully unconventional style - funky, colorful and a bit playful - but it never reached their home's top floor. The angled walls and large space are a challenge, but designer Samantha Pynn uses natural textures and bold colors to create a fun, eclectic family room. And in the process, she makes the space more energy efficient. - Ania & Walter's Master Bedroom
E11Ania & Walter's Master BedroomBuilding their dream home was easy for Ania and Walter - but the hard work was deciding how to decorate their vast master bedroom. By dividing then unifying the space, designer Samantha Pynn transforms this bare bones bedroom into a sophisticated boudoir, with a luxurious eco-friendly bed, that's a haven for reading, writing and romance. - Lindsay's Teenage Bedroom
E12Lindsay's Teenage BedroomSixteen year old Lindsay has outgrown her childhood bedroom and is ready to leave her 'hand-me-down' furniture and kiddy colors in the past.
