I Wrecked My House) and Antonia Lofaso (Beachside Brawl); Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab); Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin (Farmhouse Fixer); Christina Hall and James Bender (Christina on the Coast); Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas (Bargain Block); Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt (100 Day Dream Home); and Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle Williams (Luxe for Less).”

“Teams will overhaul areas of the home with an era-specific style, such as an early 1960s atomic age kitchen, a ’70s disco vibe for Ken’s Den and a main bedroom decked out in ’80s glam,” they added.
