House hunters with champagne tastes and beer budgets are a staple of home renovation shows. But on this week’s “Christina on the Coast,” the budget woes aren’t coming from unrealistic expectations. Instead, it’s a case of Murphy’s Law hitting a remodel hard. Christina faces a real nail-biter as she helps a family of five desperate for more space. Squeezed into an 1800-square-foot home, they’re ready for a major expansion, which includes adding a second story and reworking the existing first floor.
Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong. This episode seems less about design inspiration and more about navigating a minefield of setbacks. Multiple unforeseen problems crop up, throwing the project off schedule and, more crucially, over budget. Christina’s expertise is put to the test as she grapples with escalating costs and delays.
Will she manage to salvage the project and deliver a functional and stylish home for this stressed-out family? Or will the budget overruns sink the whole endeavor? Find out on “Christina on the Coast” this Thursday, March 6th at 8:00 PM ET/PT on HGTV.
