Newlyweds Jeremy Borcher and Jordan Mertens never knew a moment in their first home when they weren't renovating. "Fixing up the loft was a labor of love," admits Borcher. "But by the end it had turned into a slow death march."

But they got so much satisfaction from the process — and the income they earned renting the place afterward — that they predict they'll always be renovating. Here's how the couple kept the project from overwhelming them and created a beautiful space with lots of elbow grease, secondhand finds and big-box bargains.
