Watch Dear Genevieve

Bill & Fannie love their first home, but its large living dining area is lacking flow, storage, and style. Genevieve Gorder arrives to give their room both definition and flow, while fusing the room with functional storage and contemporary Asian style.

To give the kitchen some flare, Genevieve reaches into the cultures of the Middle East and of Norway to tie together the floor and the ceiling in a brand new way.

Chrissy is a first time homeowner and her new house lacks personality and design. Genevieve must help Chrissy gain confidence and help her step out of her comfort zone.

Rob and Amy are living in their first home and they have never been part of a renovation, but that's about to change. Genevieve must maximize a minimal bathroom space.

Pat and David want to utilize their 30 foot deck that overlooks a pool.

Peter and Kelly have a spacious, beautiful new home but with the time they both spend at work, they haven't given the house any attention at all.

Stacey and Diane are short on ideas for what to do with their small, lower Manhattan apartment. The living area has to function as a work space for Diane, a place to hang out for Stacey, and a dining room as well. On top of the lack of space, Stacey and Diane lack definition in style.

Taryn and Mike's downstairs room is a collage of a space and they aren't sure how to deal with it. They want to use it as a playroom for their children, but one wall is taken up by Mike's bookshelf, the toys are hard for the kids to reach, and there isn't a comfortable place for the kids to play and the adults to sit.

After years on tour, Betsey is ready to settle down. She's purchased her first apartment, but the living room is populated by hand-me-down furniture that feels awkward and poorly arranged.

Ezra and Esty hope to have a nice outdoor deck, but there is exposed barbed wire, and the furniture is outdated.

New York television personalities Jodi and Michael need to find a way to combine their two distinct styles into one.

Kate is a nine year old girl with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia. Currently her bedroom is like a 5 year old's and she's hoping for a more age appropriate makeover.

Stacy and Jaime are a young couple who don't want to live with their old bathroom anymore. It's large but cramped, the vanity is too low, and their shower is too small and made of plastic. They need a better layout and want to get the room out of the 70's. The team tears down walls, builds more storage and finds unique wood seating. Going outside of the box, Genevieve uses a stained wood floor in the bathroom, rather than traditional tile, saving the tile for a bold statement on the wall.
