About this item

Imagine if you could pause those home renovation shows for just a second and ask the host to explain how they really made that kitchen transformation happen. Sure, there was a montage of sledgehammers, wall demo, countertop laying, and hauling of back-breaking appliances, but how did they decide on that paint color and sink placement? Most important, what kind of budget would I need to do that? And how would I even begin? Jasmine Roth, host of HGTV's hit shows Hidden Potential and Help! I Wrecked My House, demystifies the home reno (and the home reno show) in House Story. As someone without any formal training--she didn't go to design or contractor school--Roth had to learn home reno skills on the job, and has now built and designed hundreds of homes, making her the perfect guide to explain the home renovation process.
