Christina Hall often takes on big renovations—from the $209,179 reno of her childhood friend’s home to a $191,000 kitchen makeover. But in the season five premiere of Christina on the Coast, she tackles a special project: the renovation of her parents’ house, which is also her childhood home. She only spent a total of $75,000 to transform the heavily outdated residence, making it one of the least costly remodels we’ve seen in her HGTV series.
With that budget, Hall used $59,400 to renovate the kitchen and dining room. In the kitchen, she slightly rejiggered the layout within the existing footprint and lifted the ceiling. She brought in all new appliances, installed two-toned white and wood cabinetry, put in floating shelves, and added white counters and backsplashes. For the dining room, she updated her parents’ farm table with comfy, curved, white chairs and a gold chandelier.
The bar off the living room was revamped with a white marble fluted backsplash, an ice maker, a beverage fridge, and more—accounting for $4,350 of the budget. Hall also redid the laundry room, which features new green cabinetry and white hexagon tile flooring, for $3,050. The powder room, with a new bold floral wallpaper, was redone for $8,200.
Since Hall didn’t do anything major, like remove or extend the walls, the project luckily went on without many hiccups—which likely also helped her come in exactly on budget. Longtime viewers know some of her clients have had to deal with lengthy nightmares and big delays. But, alas, that's the reality of renovations!
During the final reveal, Hall’s parents expressed how pleased they were with the result. Her mom was especially taken with the powder room, while her dad was impressed with the bar. Even Hall’s sister came to check out the transformation, saying she “could never have envisioned this.”
