Restored by the Fords

One might think combining business with family would create an unworkable dynamic for brother and sister Steve and Leanne Ford, but that couldn't be further from the truth. "We feel comfortable pushing each other to new limits to get the most out of each design," says Leanne, who works with her sibling to enliven older Pittsburgh homes with beautiful, unique custom renovations. An interior designer, Leanne creates new looks and floor plans for the homes, many of which are a bit out of the ordinary and unconventional. Steve is a licensed contractor with "MacGyver-like" carpentry skills. He's adept at executing his sister's vision to maximize the charm and functionality of the properties.

  • After many failed attempts at fixing up the 1920s Tudor he grew up in, a couple bring in Leanne and Steve Ford to finish the job; Leanne wants to stay true to the era of the home; Steve discovers water damage to the kitchen floors.

  • The Ford siblings take on Leanne's dream renovation: a storybook cottage guesthouse; Leanne is forced to rethink her remodeling plans when one of the homeowners' salvaged antiques won't fit in her design.

  • The Ford siblings go back to their roots when they tackle a couple's newly purchased 1930s farmhouse; Leanne highlights the home's existing beauty while bringing out more of its character with modern-bohemian touches for the young family.
