The Ultimate Before and After
See how this Augusta, Georgia, couple transformed an old frat house into a fabulous family home.

  After

Any honest golfer will tell you golf is a game that requires patience, skill, and--let's face it--sometimes just plain old luck. Homeowners Cam and Robert Osborne, Jr., can tell you that renovating an older home requires much the same.

Though the couple may have had some luck in finding this house, which is situated just minutes away from the lush greens of Augusta National, it took their combined talents and patience to restore its original splendor.

Armed with Cam's sense of style (she runs her own design business) and Robert's business savvy, these native South Carolinians settled in to update their home. The end result is manicured gardens and ageless patinas that hint at the couple's fascination with Italian style. Still, Cam's and Robert's lilting Carolina accents and their gracious hospitality leave little doubt that this family is deeply rooted in all things Southern.
