Tastemade Home

Newlyweds Cheryl and Gavin love their new home, but Cheryl doesn't love the sound of Gavin's woodworking in the garage. Brian and Sarah help by building a dedicated wood shop and some chic new living space in their urban backyard.

Backyard Builds

Modern Woodshop

Matt, Mary and their 2 kids don't use their backyard because the neighboring ravine has taken over. Brian and Sarah face environmental challenges to create a beautiful, entertaining and play space for the whole family to enjoy.

Hillside Playhouse

H and her tenant Emma are bursting out of their 3-unit home. To help out both landlord and tenants, Brian and Sarah add storage space, plus a common lounge space in the backyard, with some urban inspired design touches.

Communal Gathering Space

Brian and Sarah build a sun deck, outdoor dining area and a Grecian inspired, 3-season garage conversion.

Multipurpose Cabana

Lynna is a single mom with three teenage kids and the time has come for her to have the back garden of her dreams. Brian and Sarah deliver in spades, with a 3 season hang-out, lush new landscaping, and a beautiful greenhouse.

Greenhouse Bliss

Marlow, Phil, their 3 small kids, and Phil's parents all live in one crowded house. Brian and Sarah transform their yard into a spectacular space for cooking, entertaining and playing.

Outdoor Kitchen

Jenn and Josh don't have enough space in their semi-detached home to enjoy their hobbies. Brian and Sarah build a stylish lounge space and convert the existing garage into a multipurpose space for crafting and playing guitar.

Craft Studio

Melissa and Lee's 3 boys need more room for sports, and Mom needs more peace and quiet! So Brian and Sarah turn the underused backyard into a sports court, a new lounge space, and a luxurious, 3-season Mom's retreat.

Mom's Retreat

Nicole and Charles have 3 kids, and their neighborhood parties are getting too big for their front porch. So Brian and Sarah add more entertaining space in the backyard, plus a 4-season garage conversion with a nautical theme.

Neighborhood Party House

Andrea and David are foodies, but hosting in their "builder basic" yard is no fun. Brian and Sarah make their farm-to-table dreams come true, with a veggie garden, dining room, BBQ zone, and a play space for their 2 kids.

Farm to Table

Tammy and Sam are so busy, their backyard has fallen into disrepair and their 2 kids never use it. Brian and Sarah bring this yard back to life, and then some, with a new dining and lounge area and a fully functional pool house.

Tropical Family Resort

Becki, Shawn and their 3 kids just moved from the city to a smaller country home. To extend their living space, Brian and Sarah build a new deck, a fire pit area, and a 3-season living space, in their first ever barn rehab.
