Don't move into a loft.

Dan was like a reaaaalllly lame version of Carter. HGTV is run amuck with Dans. Antonio's show should be good, producers and assistants will help make his designs more cohesive and polished. I think it will help viewers see that they don't need formal schooling to do good design themselves.
Although, I'd still like to see last year's runner up, Matt, get a show. Jennifer Bertrand's show lasted, what, 2 weeks? "This week, we're really going to liven up the space by painting giant flowers on the walls!"

I also missed it before, so I (for once!) am glad it got reposted!

Very beautiful and functional end result!

While I agree it is a nice improvement, making the bed first would have helped a great deal (of course, then the makeover would have been less dramatic). Plus that step is free!

definitely an improvement! I would have kept at least some of the top cupboard doors to streamline the look a bit, but I do like all the lighting above and below the cabinets. Definitely helps lighten things up!

gah! I would die with that kitchen! There is hardly any counter space, plus it'd be a pain to actually cook a real meal in there, what with the table between the fridge and the rest of the necessities.

I am into vintage hens-on-nests (both larger one and salts). My grandma collected them for years, and doesn't that Home: History of an Idea book say most people describe comfort as their grandparents' house?

I agree with als1 that I may want to have frosted glass, or an alternative to that much transparency.

I love that fork door handle, though!

Those are super cute, and a clever re-purposing.

I've never seen iron steps before, but now I have something to be on the prowl for!

I saw an HGTV show once where they blew up a horizontal picture onto banner type 'fabric' at Kinko's, and then mounted them on curtain rods (top and bottom) by sewing the edges to make a track for them, or those poster hangers would work, too. Sorry, I can't find any link to it online, but it would give the same effect as the 2nd example of what you have above.
