Good Bones

Mina and Karen have renovated close to twenty homes in their downtown adjacent community, Fountain Square. They have hand selected their neighbors and raised property values resulting in their dream community. Having affected so much change in Fountain Square, they venture off into the adjacent Bates Hendricks community. Have they taken on more than they bargained for? Mina and Karen have their work cut out for them and have to work as a team to get the house done on time and on budget.

After purchasing a duplex for $15,000, Karen and Mina get to work turning the cramped space with two sides into a single family home. Re-imaging the floor plan is easy, it's staying on budget that's a challenge with this project. Because it's located in an outlying neighborhood that's still in transition, the mother-daughter duo has to be mindful of the budget since this home's location could have an impact on its selling price. But with smart purchases and creative styling, Min and Karen make it one of a kind. With a rush to the finish, can this glamorous single family home make a good impression at the open house?
