The pair got to work by gutting the interiors of their three-bed bungalow and starting from scratch.
Brown carpets was ripped up and replaced with modern floorboards and a non-offensive beige paint on the walls.
The original stain glass windows throughout the house were kept in place and the old kitchen was turned into an extra bedroom.
The dated lemon bathroom fitted with brown tiles was also stripped out and replaced with marble tiles a stand up shower and new white appliances.
Luke wrote: "The biggest change of them all and our favourite of our home."
The couple showed off the giant living room decorated in all sorts of brown decor before the big reveal.
Opening the doors, the room had been renovated into a giant black and white modern kitchen and dining area with french doors opening up to their garden.
