SEASON 5, EPISODE 7 SUMMARY

Thanks to reality TV and aesthetic Instagram timelapses, home renovations are romanticized to the max. Let's be realistic for a minute and chat about the work that actually goes into updating a property. Steph and Kristina look back at their first reno experiences: as an 11 year-old along for the ride in Utah and a 25 year-old converting a run-down bakery in San Antonio, respectively! And, how they view the reno process today.
