"Mina and Karen have renovated close to twenty homes in their downtown adjacent community, Fountain Square. They have hand selected their neighbors and raised property values resulting in their dream community. Having affected so much change in Fountain Square, they venture off into the adjacent Bates Hendricks community. Have they taken on more than they bargained for? Mina and Karen have their work cut out for them and have to work as a team to get the house done on time and on budget."

"The mother-daughter team pay a high price to renovate a huge home that's right next door to them. Once inside, they face big problems, including dirt, smells and sketchy construction."

"Mina has mixed feelings when she agrees to help renovate her childhood home in the suburbs of Indianapolis, which definitely needs some updating, but first she has to convince her dad that change can be good. On the to-do list: a brand new kitchen, stairway and deck. Also: improvements to the great room and dining room."

"Mina and Karen restore a house in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood with termite-infested walls and faulty foundation."

"After purchasing a duplex for $15,000, Karen and Mina get to work turning the cramped space with two sides into a single family home. Re-imaging the floor plan is easy, it's staying on budget that's a challenge with this project. Because it's located in an outlying neighborhood that's still in transition, the mother-daughter duo has to be mindful of the budget since this home's location could have an impact on its selling price. But with smart purchases and creative styling, Min and Karen make it one of a kind. With a rush to the finish, can this glamorous single family home make a good impression at the open house?"

"A home renovation in the countryside for new clients with a big family, but a house that feels very closed off. Plans include sliding glass doors and large windows to bring in more natural light."

"Mina and Karen snag a four-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex for only $4,000. But with one of the worst foundations they've ever seen combined with unsafe floor joists on the second floor, Mina expects to spend upwards of $200,000 on the renovation. When Tad demos the chimney and puts a hole in the roof, the women grow more concerned about their budget. They hope that their attention to detail in the beautifully finished single-family home will pay off."

"Karen and Mina are back on Woodlawn Avenue to rescue a new build that has been abandoned. While the home's basic structure is built, the bones have been left for dead. Mina and Karen see the amazing possibilities in this 2,200 square foot home and already have the perfect buyer in mind. Issues arise, however, when window delivery is delayed and the trim carpenters quit mid-job. Will the girls be able to pull off a successful renovation for this up-and-coming neighborhood?"

"Mina and Karen purchase a tricky home in a transitional Indianapolis neighborhood. The location is a sizable former office space with no discernable bedrooms so the girls are excited to utilize the blank canvas. The girls quickly fall in love with the project and start bringing out the space's charm with outdoor corbels, a beautiful fireplace, an antique structural column and real wooden floors. While their finished product is beautiful, they may soon realize they've too far in that neighborhood -- and maybe too far over their budget."

"Mina and Karen buy a little white house on a hill with potential to be a real charmer in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood. The home has a great floor plan but it has serious foundation issues and is in desperate need of a facelift. During construction, a former owner of the house stops by to see how much her old home has changed. Will she be impressed with Mina and Karen's transformation?"

Can Mina and Karen return this home to its full potential?"

"Mina and Karen buy a tiny, Victorian-style home in need of a serious facelift on the outskirts of the Indianapolis community of Fountian Square.

"Mina and Karen take on a renovation project for an optimistic client who bought a duplex with intentions of renovating it himself.

Will the ladies be able to overcome such strange obstacles?"

"Mina and Karen are back in the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood with a brand new project. The home is in a fantastic location, is close to everything and has a ton of square footage. Despite its good qualities, however, the home is dirty, ugly and is going to be a heaping handful of a job. This eyesore has three colors of brown paint coating the outside and is a confusing labyrinth on the inside. A house this size will ultimately require more construction workers, more hammers and ultimately more danger. Will they be able to give this home a new floor plan that's perfect for single-family living?"

"Mina has second thoughts that a charmless, boxy house bought from the city for $4,000 might have been a bad idea. But Karen sees the potential and convinces Mina that they'll be able to transform this 'giant cube' into an adorable single family home.

"Mina and Karen splurge on a corner lot home in the historical neighborhood of Fletcher Place. While struggling to work within the guidelines of the Historical Preservation Commission, Mina and Karen face more problems than they could have ever anticipated. If they can persevere, the girls think they can make up for the costs by the time the house goes on the market -- will they have gone too far over budget to make it all worth it?"

They also create textile artwork to bring into the house, as well as floating side tables made from antique corbels."
