| What Hgtv Shows Are Based In Detroit |
Bargain Block: From Blight to Bright
This show is basically Chip and Joanna Gaines' cooler, slightly-more-industrial cousins (sorry Gaines fam, we love you!). Enter design dream team Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas. These guys are on a mission to revitalize Detroit's historic neighborhoods, one fixer-upper at a time. They take those diamonds in the rough – think peeling wallpaper and questionably-colored shag carpets – and transform them into stunning, affordable abodes for first-time homebuyers. It's like "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" meets "Flipping Out," but with a whole lot more grit and way less drama (unless you count their playful banter, which is frankly hilarious).
Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for Keith's infectious laugh and Evan's impeccable taste. These guys are a hoot to watch!
Rehab Addict: Detroit - Saving History, One Brick at a Time
If you're a sucker for architectural salvage and uncovering hidden gems, then "Rehab Addict: Detroit" is your jam. Nicole Curtis, the queen of historic preservation, tackles the ambitious project of restoring the grand Ransom Gillis house in Detroit. This show is a treasure trove of tips for those who appreciate the craftsmanship of bygone eras. But beware, it's not all sunshine and reclaimed wood. Nicole encounters her fair share of challenges, from crumbling foundations to lead paint nightmares. But hey, that's what makes good TV, right?
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
Bonus points: Watch for Nicole's fierce determination and her impressive ability to rock a pair of work boots.
