The McGoverns aren't afraid of rebuilds.
In 2012, Keith McGovern and his wife, Rondi, renovated an old brick warehouse in the heart of Fargo, N.D., that eventually would become their home. The interior was gutted, the windows replaced, the roof redone and the cold feel of the former occupant, Leef Cleaners, warmed by Rondi's design company.
The former boiler room received a face-lift, too. The century-old cinder block and brick still line the walls, and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning ducts, and water pipes remain exposed. But the couple's eldest son, Connor, decided to furnish it, handling the interior design himself.
