Home renovation & extension

Highlight the character of your home with design and styling inspiration from the Renovation Husbands

For Stephen and David St. Russell, aka the Renovation Husbands, a home with character is not necessarily old, but one that is created with craft and intention. Follow along in this gorgeous design book as they go room by room, breaking down the process behind every design decision and explaining how each element used can contribute to building character in your home.

Good Character reveals the power of architectural millwork to make a space more interesting, how the use of bold colors can be impactful in a space, and why mixing of vintage and modern furniture (at every price point) can make all the difference.

The Renovation Husbands are here to help you create rooms in your home that make you burst with pride. With a wealth of tools and information including transparent overlays, high quality illustrations, and photography, this is an accessible home guide that will remove the illusion of complexity and empower you to transform any room in your house into something unique.

David St. Russell Biography David and Stephen St. Russell are a husband-husband design and DIY team with a passion for a good project. Together, they've renovated multiple historic homes-including their 1893 Boston Victorian and 1975 chalet-style cabin-documenting their process and building a devoted audience of followers along the way. In 2024, they took the top prize on HGTV's Battle on the Mountain with their beautiful mountain home design. Stephen graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design where he studied architecture. David graduated from Springfield College where he studied medicine before finding his passion lies elsewhere. They have been together since 2008.
