DIY renovation shows are a dime a dozen, but “Beer Budget Reno” with Kristen adds a relatable twist: doing it all without breaking the bank. This Saturday, Kristen faces a particularly pressing project in the episode titled “Labor of Love.” She’s helping her childhood friend Melissa, who, along with her husband Steve, is living in her parents’ basement to save money for their own place.
The challenge? Melissa and Steve need their living space in the basement to feel like a real home, complete with a primary bedroom, a living room, and most urgently, a nursery. Why the rush on the nursery? Melissa is expecting a baby in just three weeks, putting Kristen on a tight deadline to transform the space from basement storage to baby-ready haven.
Kristen also steps in to help Tina and PJ reclaim their living room, which has been overrun by their son and their dogs. It sounds like a familiar problem for many homeowners.
The episode, airing Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 12:00 PM on A&E, should feature plenty of clever, cost-effective design ideas.
