Reporter: WHAT DO PEOPLE
NEED TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN THEY
WANT TO REMODEL?
ALL THIS STUFF, COME DOWN

IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE PLAN, YOU
CAN'T WORK THE PLAN.
AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN,
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING TO?
SCREWUPS COST YOU, TOO.
I LOVE THESE BAR STOOLS, AND
KIND OF LIKE A NICE ANTIQUE
FEEL HERE.
IT'S A MODERN SPACE, AND IT

BUT THERE'S THE LIVE EDGE HERE,
AND IT'S GORGEOUS, AND THE
LIGHTING, AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY
SICK IN THIS SPACE THIS IS OSB
PLYWOOD WITH A WAX FINISH, AND
I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT TO
DO THAT.
IT'S A REALLY COOL LOOK IN
