Nicole Curtis turns her attention to a rundown cottage in Lake Orion, Michigan. Starting in the living room, she rips out an old staircase leading into the kitchen before making her way outside to create a new boardwalk entry, picket fence and back deck.

Nicole Curtis juggles two projects in Detroit, and since both were built in 1928, she uses one house as inspiration for the other's renovations. When a car crashes into the house next door, she makes an unexpected discovery that lets her bring back original details of the house.
