Designer Kristen Coutts works her budget-friendly magic on a family bathroom in dire need of an overhaul in this week’s Beer Budget Reno, airing Saturday at noon ET on A&E. The aptly titled Grand Central Bathroom (Season 1, Episode 8) finds Coutts partnering up with Stefanie, a mom of four looking to tackle a chaotic home renovation project—but with limited resources and an even heavier emotional load.
Having recently lost her husband to cancer, Stefanie finds herself wrestling with more than just an outdated space. For her, the bathroom reno represents a fresh start, a reclamation of the family home, and a way to honor her husband’s love of DIY. Coutts picks up the mantle, working with Stefanie to transform the space into something functional, inviting, and infused with personal touches that speak to the family’s resilience. The bedroom also becomes a major focus—giving Stefanie a sanctuary within the busy household.
Beer Budget Reno has staked its claim on proving that stylish upgrades don’t require bottomless bank accounts. With Coutts’s guidance, Stefanie rediscovers her own creative spirit and begins to build a new chapter for herself and her kids—one beer-budget project at a time.
“Beer Budget Reno” airs this Saturday, June 7 at 12:00 PM ET on A&E.
