A Heartwarming Surprise
Drew Scott, a Home DIY expert from Lone Fox, was beyond thrilled to finally share with his viewers a special project that was close to his heart.
At 84 years old, Roger, his elderly landlord, had not only rented the upper level of his home to Drew but had also graciously allowed him to renovate the space as he wished, trusting Drew’s vision completely.
The Transformation Begins
This permission was more than just a lease agreement; it was a golden opportunity for Drew.
He took the once eclectic, mismatched rooms and turned them into a bright, welcoming apartment.
It was a chance to let his creativity shine, transforming a space that was once a mish-mash of rooms into a cohesive, inviting home.
A Farewell Tour
As Drew prepared to move into his own home, he was eager to show Roger the incredible changes he had made to the apartment.
It was a bittersweet moment, marking the end of an important chapter in Drew’s life.
Accommodating Roger
Knowing that Roger had difficulty with stairs due to his age, Drew thoughtfully set him up in a desk chair with wheels.
This simple yet considerate gesture ensured that Roger could comfortably move around and see the entire apartment without strain, highlighting Drew’s caring nature.
A Living Room Reborn
“Oh my goodness!” were Roger’s first words as he entered the transformed living area.
Where once the walls were faded white with a blue border and a non-working white fireplace, Drew had created a bright, rustic space.
He painted the window panels black, refreshed the fireplace alcove, and arranged cozy brown leather couches around a flat-screen TV, turning a once plain room into a vibrant living space.
A Joking Appreciation
“This is gorgeous, I’m going to have to raise the rent,” Roger joked, his eyes twinkling with delight.
It was clear that he was not only impressed with Drew’s work but deeply touched by the effort and love put into the transformation.
Dining and Kitchen Magic
In the dining area, Drew retained the original crystal chandelier, a nod to the home’s history.
He creatively repurposed a wall cutout, adding wooden shelves and a cabinet.
He painted the wall a warm brown and set up a repurposed wood table, turning a simple space into a stylish dining area.
The adjacent kitchen, with its abundant windows, became home to a charming breakfast nook, perfect for sunny morning meals.
Bedroom Elegance
One standout room was Drew’s roommate Marie’s bedroom.
Drew used lime wash paint on the walls to give them a textured, sophisticated appearance.
He added moldings on the wall to transform the room’s entire look, turning a standard bedroom into an elegant, designer-like space. Roger was visibly impressed, praising it as a designer’s bedroom.
A Bittersweet Ending
Ultimately, Roger was overjoyed with all the changes Drew had made.
His eyes welled with emotion as he took in the transformed space that he had called home for so many years.
Sadly, Roger passed away a few months after this video was taken.
It is heartwarming to know that he was able to see how his simple home had been transformed into such an elegant and loving space before he left this world.
