This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

In the final stretch, our host visits Don Franklin from DeAngelis Iron Work, who is busy installing a new railing on the front steps. Inside, lighting designer Melissa Guenet showcases her finished work in both the powder room and kitchen. Our master carpenter examines the new garage door, equipped with dual safety reversal features. Plumber Maura Marshall and Richard Trethewey discuss the new bath fixtures, kitchen sinks, and eco-friendly radiators. The following day, Lauren reveals a stunning Arts-and-Crafts style lighting fixture in the arcade, and we explore the Shingle-style home of the craftsman who built it. Back in the arcade, historic interiors expert Susan Hollis teams up with carpet merchant John Burroughs to lay down a period carpet, adding the perfect final touch. In the kitchen, designer Phil Mossgraber takes us on a last tour, highlighting the appliances and finishes before we set our sights on Hawaii.
