Chip and his team did a wonderful job transforming the gigantic, ugly steel shed into a three car garage that tied in with the design of the home and allowed for a well planned entertaining space between the two buildings. The result was beautiful. If this couple does have a child, they may regret giving up the side yard. I think this house was on a corner lot, and I didn't see a place where they could make a play area, although they may have some room on the other side of the house.

Chip and his team did another great job! A moveable wall, a revolving flat screen TV and subway tile on the ceiling. The homeowner was really happy with his new office. His wife got a beautiful new office with orange accents...I loved it.

I thought the July 28th episode showed more of Chip's outside the box thinking while using his engineering background. The basement redo was unique with the moveable wall, rotating TV and video projection capabilities of the glass desktop. He also made the wife's upstairs office area more appealing and professionally functional.

I do think more people would watch this show if it had a night slot. I like the idea of putting it with the Wednesday night guy line up.
Those that aren't watching the show are missing one of HGTV's most creative endeavors.

Kolakowj, ironically, in 1999, you could go to the website and find pictures, sources and products. This program is interesting and creative. One less repeat of Love It or List It or Property Brothers a week should be found for a prime time slot for this show.

For fans of great transformations, Chip Wade and company are at in again on Saturday mornings. This time he tears part of the roof off a house to make a large master suite for a couple that need a retreat of their own. The result is beautiful and open, a little too much for my taste. It's a great show for remodeling and design fans.

Lucky me! I have my DVR set to record Elbow Room so I was very glad to see the season premiere today.

I also thought it was a little too open. I would have wanted the bathroom to be closed off from the bedroom. Was there a toilet? I will have to watch my tape again to see if I missed it.

I always enjoy seeing what renovations Chip comes up with in his designs.

Chip is back in action doing some amazing remodels, but you'll have to set you DVR since it's on early Saturday morning. His most recent project involved transforming a carport into a guest room/office space complete with pocket wall and remote bed. He also redid the kitchen as a surprise for the family that just had a new baby.
Great job!!!

I really like the work that Chip does. He tries to make things extra special for his clients. That bed was great. I expected to see it fold up into the wall like a regular Murphy bed. That was a good idea for a guest room.

I was also glad to see little "big" brother on the scene and not sent to a baby sitter.

Just caught Elbow Room absolutely great show. Does anyone know where the accordion style Murphy bed came from. This would be perfect for my cabin up north

Chip and team did a wonderful job opening up a boxy ranch so that all members of the family can enjoy the space together. He and his team of the Macgyvers of home reno; you never know what they will invent to address a problem. This time it was a massive coffee table with a built in gaming chair and mini nail salon. I love the way they customize features for the homeowners.

I also liked the computer/work space that rose up out of the countertop of the island. A good place to pay bills or look up something on the computer. Marylee
