Restoring Galveston

Michael and Ashley have their work cut out for them while restoring a dilapidated 1914 fixer-upper. Together they create a light-filled breakfast nook and repurpose a vintage wooden sign to help transform what was once a condemned eyesore into a quaint pink corner house.

Ashley and Michael take on a rundown, family-owned 1939 craftsman. The project is an emotional journey for the duo as the bland home is transformed into a breath-taking abode with room expansions and some inspired flooring choices.

Michael and Ashley get the opportunity to renovate a bizarre Galveston icon that may harbor a few surprises inside. The spaceship-shaped landmark is soon brimming with life as the Cordrays bring their unique charm to the one-of-a-kind house.

Michael and Ashley save a familys two-story 1800s home from a flip that would have been a flop. They restore the original features while working to preserve the propertys historical integrity.

Camelbacks are not common in Galveston, Texas, but the challenge is to make this one a historic head-turner; the Cordrays transform the attic into a cozy family space and build an outdoor sofa that a Gulf storm cant destroy.

The oversized lot makes this 1920s home a great purchase, but Ashley and Michael must reverse a boring 80s renovation with the historic feel of handcrafted doors, shiplap ceilings and original floors that get a fun checkerboard pattern.

Preserving the historic charm of a 140-year-old duplex is priority No. 1 as the Cordrays keep the original interior paint, reuse original exterior siding in the kitchen, and turn a contemporary shed into an outdoor sitting area.

Buying a newer home isnt the Cordrays norm, but adding their iconic character, style and functionality never gets old; they build a privacy fence for the deck, a herringbone design focal wall, and raise and make over the original kitchen cabinets.

Michael and Ashley turn a 1904 single story bungalow into an adorable home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and enough garage space to satisfy any buyer. A built-in banquette, nostalgic cabinet casings and accent wall highlight the interior design.

To balance design, family and functionality, Michael and Ashley build a staircase with custom newel post, add a fireplace with an old-wood mantel, build legs for their 12-foot island, and put 5-foot cast iron kitchen sinks in their primary bathroom.

The Cordrays bring beauty, impeccable design and increased value to this renovation by adding a bedroom, vintage doors to separate the kitchen from the living space and retro tile found under the house for a one-of-a-kind back splash.
