My Houzz: Kate Upton Surprises Her Sister With a Home Renovation

Christie Williams spends much of her time taking care of other people. In addition to raising two young daughters with her husband, Matt, she runs a non-profit organisation called Wins for Warriors Foundation that helps war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Williams’ younger sister, m
odel and actress Kate Upton, knew that the mother-of-two wouldn’t find time to pamper herself, so Upton recently surprised her older sister by renovating the couple’s outdated guest bathroom, office area and master bedroom and bathroom in their Melbourne, Florida, home in the USA. “Christie’s always been very nurturing to everyone around her, and she’s still like that today,” says Upton. “All of my memories of her growing up were really her watching over me, so it’s nice to be able to reverse the roles and take care of her.”

Bold patterned tile and wallpaper, soothing shades of blue and touches of glamour gave the home just the energy that Williams and her family need for their busy lives.

Loved this video. At first I thought I was watching a renovation but I soon realized this was so much more. To see this kind of sibling love just made me cry. You're a very special family. Good health and great happiness to all of you.

What an amazing transformation especially since the house had some design quirks. As a designer it must be a challenge to make sure you have the products such as wallpaper and tile that the customer would like. Fava really did an outstanding elegant job for her client.

Lovely redo! The windows on each side of the bed look smaller- is that an optical illusion??

The scary part is all the smashing and filling up skips to landfill. I wonder if any of it could have been done more carefully to recycle things like the spa bath?

@ Rosy, yes, i wonder why the bathroom window was taken away. It's such a luxury to have natural light and air in the bathroom. Also, not a fan of the busy wall tiles in the bathroom. But love everything else!
