From cramped condos to starter homes that no longer fit, this series will follow everyday people chasing their next big move up the property ladder – from their first place to their dream space.

Armed with a toolkit of creative, money-saving hacks, she specializes in turning tired, outdated spaces into fresh, functional homes. Beer Budget Reno is produced by Proper Television, a Blue Ant Studios company, for Home Network and A+E Global Media.

Renovation Resort is produced by MEM in association with Corus Studios for Home Network.
