Before and After: Halsig's Bathroom Makeover
If you saw TeamSugar member Halsig's brilliant lighting design and her impressive kitchen remodel, I'm sure you have no doubt that she's taken that design goodness to other areas of her San Francisco loft as well.
In fact, her remodel of her oh-so-basic bathroom, which she called "a gas station bathroom," might just be what impresses me the most. She installed a Thassos white marble vanity, a Thassos marble white floor, a sleek partition for the toilet area, lights that turn on when the door closes, and a six-foot-long Boffi Makro Cherry Red Glass bath tub with inset marble cubbies.
Before and After: DeJaVuE's Basement Remodel
TeamSugar member DeJaVuE recently remodeled her basement, which had red brick and stone foundation walls and a dreary striped carpet. She installed wood floors and soft beige carpet, as well as drywall, but she kept some stonework on the wall as an accent. She painted the walls an army green, which lightened it up and gave it a more serene vibe.

Have Your Ever Renovated a Home?
Dos and Don'ts of Home Remodeling
I've noticed that many CasaSugar readers are in various stages of home renovations, and I, for one, am very impressed. I've always wanted to try remodeling a house, but I've heard so many horror stories about runaway costs and unreliable contractors — not to mention relationship troubles — that the prospect scares me a bit.
So I was excited to run across Home magazine's list of the dos and don'ts of home renovations.

Before and After: A Kitchen Expansion
While turn-of-the-century homes are often quite spacious when it comes to shared spaces and number of bedrooms, often the kitchens are cramped and ill-suited for modern-day home chef work. MainStreet Design Build, a Michigan-based renovation and build firm, came to the rescue, for this family, stepping in to add a kitchen and breakfast nook addition to the home.
Here's the home from the rear exterior, where a small entryway opens onto a large deck.

Before and After: A House, From Dated to Delightful
I showcase a lot of inspiring Before and Afters here on Casa, but I must say I've rarely been more impressed with one than with what you're about to see. I came across Flickr user HottHoller's home remodeling project, and I was blown away. For the most part, her house had great bones, but the décor was seriously out of date, and in places, terribly kitschy.
Before and After: Halsig's Kitchen Makeover
TeamSugar member Halsig, who recently installed a brilliant bathroom door, has been working on remodeling her loft — which began as, in her words, "a big empty cement box" — into exactly what she wants for about five months. Thanks to her keen design sense, she now can cook in style in a warm, industrial-looking modern space with all the essentials for a great chef. She installed stainless countertops, Bulthaup open shelving, beautiful Swiss pear Bulthaup cabinetry, a Gaggenau convection oven, Dacor convection microwave, Dacor refrigerator, and an appliance storage room, which serves as a pantry, too.
Before and After: A Modern Bungalow Kitchen
One Grassroots Modern reader moved into a 1946 bungalow with a kitchen that was desperately begging for a makeover (see avocado green stove, gloomy cabinets, and dingy tiling). The homeowners whipped it into shape in record time with only $4,000 by ripping up old carpet, refinishing the hardwood floors, installing Ikea cabinets, and hunting down a great deal on a Sub-Zero refrigerator. The difference is truly unbelievable.
