This is one of the largest kitchens Nicole has ever tackled, and it's her grandparent's! Built in 1956, the kitchen itself has been around for over half a century, but was unfortunately redone in the 90's, eliminating it's mid-century modern charm. Nicole wants to restore the ugly kitchen to how it looked when she was a child. New hardwood floors replace linoleum and Nicole designs custom, vintage-inspired cabinets to provide a nostalgic feel to the treasured room. Right down to a salvaged green phone, the kitchen begins to be reborn as it was in Nicole's childhood memories. Written by Departure Films

For Nicole's next project, it's gonna be sink or swim! The indoor pool that Nicole's grandfather built by hand is getting a much-needed refresher. First up, the safety and mechanical systems of the pool need to be thoroughly overhauled to meet modern standards. The beautiful cedar ceiling and aquamarine walls are original so there is no way Nicole will change those - they just need a good wash and some new paint. In the biggest design challenge of the entire project, Nicole boldly replaces the original doors - which had been ruined with age - with giant glass garage doors to let in light and views of the surrounding countryside. Restoring her Grandfather's pool is a huge labor of love and requires all of Nicole's skill and determination to keep the look and feel of mid-century, while bringing it into the 21st century.

It wouldn't be Nicole if some gorgeous wood - and not-so-gorgeous hunting themed paneling-is lovingly re purposed to update the room into a modern yet rustic haven. Written by Departure Films
