A Daunting Project
When Maurice Turner and Blake Milness purchased their Highland Park craftsman home two years ago for a modest $30,000, they knew they were in for a challenge. However, what awaited them inside was beyond their expectations. The century-old house was plagued by extensive water damage, leaving Maurice’s twin brother, Marcus, skeptical of their endeavor.
A Familiar Journey
No strangers to home renovation, the Turner twins had already successfully tackled a project in Detroit’s University District. Despite their experience, the Highland Park property presented a unique set of challenges, with its roof on the verge of collapse and water seeping into every corner.
A Fortuitous Rescue
Enter HGTV’s Nicole Curtis and her new show, Rehab Addict Rescue. Recognizing the Turners’ plight, Curtis and her team stepped in to lend their expertise. With a budget of $30,000 in hand, they set out to transform the dilapidated interior into a welcoming space.
A Collaborative Effort
Pooling their resources and skills, Blake, Maurice, Curtis, and her crew embarked on the arduous task of restoration. Despite the magnitude of the project, the team worked seamlessly together, making significant progress in just a few weeks.
An Interior Renaissance
While the details of the transformation remained a secret until the show aired, Marcus, an interior designer, seized the opportunity to showcase his business, Work Co, by incorporating exclusive furniture lines into the staging. The result? An interior that exceeded all expectations.
A New Beginning
With the renovation hurdles behind them, Maurice and Blake can now focus on planning their wedding, a task that seemed impossible amidst the chaos of the restoration. Their Highland Park home, once a source of frustration, is now a place they are proud to call their own.
