Beer Budget Reno

Series Premiere

Leanne and Dan have spent their lives caring for others, from their two daughters to their own aging parents. Now they're ready to invest in themselves by having Kristen renovate their two outdated and clunky bathrooms. But with no ventilation in either room, decades of moisture issues could eat up the budget. Kristen also helps an engaged couple give their dysfunctional kitchen a fast and frugal facelift in time to host guests for their wedding.

Megan, Joel and their two kids love the charm of their 120-year-old house. But the quirks of their family room have them at a loss for its layout. They need Kristen to get creative to make this workhorse space function for the family.

Sisters and Jaime and Alex live parallel lives, from back-to-back weddings, babies, and now home ownership just a few blocks apart. Their houses match in layout, but Jaime's is a fixer upper that's stuck in the 70s.

Kristen is enlisted by her childhood friend to give her living space an overhaul; but with a shoestring budget and a baby on the way, Kristen faces a big challenge; Kristen helps Tina and PJ take back their living room from their son-doggie duo.

Katie and Andy have had their house turned upside down by parenthood. Handy Andy renovated nearly everything in time for their baby's arrival, but the basement has been left in limbo. They need Kristen to take over to stretch their limited budget.

Kristen works on a Beer Budget Reno for Stefanie; a mom of four kids aged 9 to 20. After losing her husband to cancer, Stefanie hit a standstill with their home renovations. Their family bathroom is an absolute zoo with all five of them fighting for shower, sink and mirror time. To get away from it all, Stefanie wants her bedroom to be a sanctuary and a fresh start. Kristen helps Stefanie to pick up her pink toolbelt again to carry on her and her husband's DIY legacy.

Katherine and Justin love their new house, except for some disruptive quirks. Their big, awkward primary bath serves triple duty right off the kitchen as it houses the noisy laundry machines and makes it difficult to get down to business.

Vanathy and Joe's home is bursting at the seams; they're battling against an inefficient use of space on their second floor, with outdated organization that doesn't function for their family with two young kids.
