Home renovations can be a headache even under the best of circumstances. Throw in a tight budget, a century-old house, and a family room that needs to function as five different spaces, and you’ve got a recipe for “Multipurpose Mayhem.” This Saturday on A&E’s “Beer Budget Reno,” homeowners Megan and Joel call on Kristen for help tackling their family room chaos.
Their 120-year-old home presents unique challenges, especially when trying to balance preserving its historic features with a somewhat high-end wish list. And then there are the fire hazards to address – a fun little wrinkle no homeowner wants to deal with. Kristen needs to bring her A-game to make this workhorse space both safe and functional for the family, all while staying within a reasonable budget.
But the family room isn’t the only project on Kristen’s plate. She also helps a single mom and her college-aged daughter transform their cramped bedrooms into spaces that work for both sleep and study. How do you create a peaceful sanctuary and a productive workspace in the same four walls? Kristen’s design ingenuity will be put to the test. Tune in to A&E this Saturday, April 26th at 10:00 PM ET.
