The Cordrays look to balance function with history as they tackle a living room, bathroom and dining room remodel for a young couple and their three children in their 1896 Victorian home in Galveston, Texas.
The Cordrays help a couple restore a home in Galveston's historic east end that once belonged to Michael's grandmother; in addition to bringing much-needed structural support, they find vintage touches for their living room, kitchen and pantry.
The Cordrays help a first-time homeowner bring back character to the 1940s home she describes as her Millennial Mansion; with features like a reclaimed brick porch, custom woodwork inside and a colorful new kitchen, it's a complete transformation.
The Cordrays restore the 100-year-old apartment above their garage, turning it into Michael's office and a guest house; bright colors and patterns breathe life into the space and vintage touches throughout add to the character.
Michael and Ashley pick up a job half done, restoring bedrooms and a kitchen for a young family in an 1886 Victorian home in the historic Stocking District of Galveston.
The Cordrays enhance a 1903 Craftsman for a 98-year-old who has lived in the home since the 1950s; together they restore the main bedroom and kitchen to their former glory.
The Cordrays restore an early 20th century beach bungalow for an older couple who have deep roots in Galveston; they bring the original charm of the home that had been lost in the living room, dining room and bathroom spaces.
The Cordrays transform a 1922 filling station into a hot dog business for the island; honoring the building's past as a gas and tire station, as well as Michael's late father; they bring their signature design style to their first restaurant.

Ashley and Michael find a charming 1930s bungalow close to the beach and jump at the opportunity to turn it into a vacation rental; with beach season approaching and a baby on the way, they must work hard and fast to get the house ready in time.
