Sarah's House - Find + Buy

Sarah’s House is back and is taking on the suburbs! Over 13 episodes cameras track Sarah Richardson as she tackles the renovation of a typical back split room-by-room, bringing today’s sense and style to the entire space. That is, once Sarah finally finds just the right house, which proves to be more of a challenge than she bargained for!

Sarah's House - Nursery + Home Office

Nursery + Home Office,

Sarah and Tommy squeeze practical style from two small, neglected rooms. The home office takes on a bold, comfortable tone, while the tiny high-ceilinged nursery becomes a serene study in whites, pale grays and blues. Each room throws down the gauntlet, to muster practicality and pizzazz on next to no dollars!

Sarah's House - Master Bedroom

Master Bedroom,

This is one absolutely bland, beige and boring master. Sarah ups the comfort and romance factors, not before addressing moldy non-insulated closets, creaky, old wood floors, adding square footage and correcting a sharply slanted ceiling. If this is where the person paying the mortgage sleeps, let their dreams be sweet!

High/low Bathrooms,

Sarah's House - Guest Suite

Another great idea from Sarah’s House! Sarah transforms unused basement space into a multi-purpose suite that works for temporary and long-term visitors, including the boomerang generation. This newly captured room brims with five-star features – it’s light, bright and inspiring. These are deluxe accommodations befitting five-star status!

Sarah's House - Storage, Laundry

Storage, Laundry,

Storage is one of the most important and complex issues in any home. Sarah makes every nook and cranny accountable by incorporating storage you don’t even notice is there. As for the laundry room, Sarah creates a colorful, light space to give a fresh, new spin to this mundane chore!

Sarah's House - Backyard

Sarah steps up to a large yard untouched since the house was built. Stone work, landscaping and green space set the foundation for a jewel-like pool and cabana. Everything shoehorns in nicely with plenty of room to spare and forms the perfect backdrop for all-season entertaining. The neighbors will be envious!

Sarah's House - Tween Bedroom

A bare bones room at home anywhere. Sarah and Tommy set a budget challenge of $2,500 to bring this unused space up to the demanding specs of this fickle generation. Not only that, the entire design is positioned to evolve at the whims of this age group’s hottest new must-haves!

Sarah's House - Family Room

Sarah breaks down the walls of this nowhere space to make a family room that serves a multitude of purposes. While the design scheme skews male, it’s meant to welcome all with comfort and style. Sarah devises a unique solution for high tech gadgetry and busts the budget for a much-needed walkout to the new pool!

Sarah's House - Living Room, Front Entry

Living Room, Front Entry,

This is purely a case of making the most of what you’ve got. Sarah unites a dated living room and entryway, giving them modern appeal and flexibility. A sense of drama comes via a heightened doorway and new set of stairs. Modern touches such as glass stair rails, skylights, front window and revamped fireplace create the illusion of space and bring this entire room into today!

Sarah's House - Kitchen + Dining Room

Kitchen + Dining Room,

One of the costliest renovation challenges in any house is the kitchen. Sarah bucks this trend with stylish, customized ready-made cabinetry and useful solutions for absolutely everything. Enlarged access to a side deck creates outdoor lounging space and infuses the entire interior with light. This showpiece kitchen is deliciously tempting in its own right!

Sarah's House - Curb Appeal

Nothing makes a better calling card than curb appeal. It’s also one of the most expensive home renovation projects to undertake. Sarah modernizes the house’s exterior by replacing a tangle of trees, adding a skylight to the carport and colour tinting the brick. This house is ready to present its new face to the world!

Sarah's House - Grand Finale

How far have Sarah’s imagination, limited budget and sheer determination taken her? On buying the house, Sarah’s real estate agent strongly advised she be penny-wise, and spend no more than $170,000 on the entire renovation. Did Sarah spend that or more? What will a triptych of top agents say the house is worth now?
