Genevieve's Renovation

Genevieve Gorder embarks on a gutsy New York City renovation project -- her own! She's bought the rundown place next door to make more space for her and her daughter, Bebelle, and has a plan to connect the two apartments into one.

Genevieve's out of town when a hidden chimney pipe threatens her plan to connect the two apartments. Fearing she won't be able to complete the breakthrough and Bebelle's new bedroom on budget, she calls on a friend to investigate.

With several rooms done and the apartments successfully connected, Genevieve embarks on her master suite renovation. Plumbing problems lead to budget overages and could compromise her design.

Genevieve moves to the top floor of her apartment and tackles the guest suite. Before tiling the bathroom, however, decisions have to be made about waterproofing. Still playing catch-up with the budget, she gets creative with cost-saving design decisions.

The living room and home office offer unique design challenges for Genevieve. She recruits a few friends for inspiration and goes out on a limb to make up for something special she can't put out on the terrace.

Anxious to get things back to normal, Genevieve takes a field trip to a blacksmith's shop and gets busy during the final stages of her home renovation. It's all worth it as her closest friends show up for a dramatic reveal.
