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.

Nicole Curtis takes on a boarded up, previously condemned 1880s duplex and restores it into a single-family home. She reuses cabinets and doors to create an old feel with modern amenities and modifies the upstairs floor plan to build a master suite.
