If the family is the most basic component of the society, then the homes are one of the things keeping them together. The houses we go home to everyday are underrated and underappreciated as they are often thought of as money drains due to taxes and mortgage payments. Take an empathetic side and internalize: what if you do not have a home to go back to? Such is the plight of millions around the world, so consider yourself lucky for possessing the long end of the stick.

Barring taste and financial considerations, homes should be as comfortable and welcoming as possible. We’ve all seen TV shows about home transformations and renovations, and the tears that were shed. Sometimes, you need to look beyond the clean-up and redecorating part.

When you renovate homes, you also renovate lives. Here are examples of amazing home transformations.

The renovations were done by James Wood Homes, a home builder and renovator based in Calgary, Canada.
