Editor Kathleen Kinney – [email protected] FROM THE PUBLISHER What is it about renovating that we love so much? Perhaps it’s being able to identify a house with untapped potential, then use our creativity – and patience – to turn it into something beautiful. It could be the satisfaction of restoring a historic house to its former glory, or giving a tired home new character. . @DavidJideas facebook.com/trendsideas Whatever the motivation, there is no doubt we love to renovate. In this issue of Renovation David Johnson Ideas Trends we open with a section on villas and cottages; followed by mid-century modern homes, and two historic renovations. Whether it’s restoring a residence to its former glory, repurposing an industrial building or giving an older home a fun, contemporary twist, these projects represent a cross section of renovation possibilities. We also present an in-depth look at kitchen remodelling, and go inside two updated holiday homes. As usual, our inspiring projects are augmented with a variety of goods and services aimed to equip you with the practical knowledge to complete your own project. We trust this issue of Renovation Ideas Trends exceeds your expectations. Lastly, our Trends publications are just a small example of what you’ll find online. A world of inspiration can be found when you visit our website, Trendsideas.com.
