What Hgtv Shows Are Based In Nashville |
The OG Nashville Flippers: Cashing in on Character
- Nashville Flipped: This show follows the charmingly tenacious Troy Dean Shafer. He's like a knight in shining overalls, rescuing historic Nashville homes from neglect and turning them into stunning abodes. But be warned, restoring these architectural beauties comes with hidden surprises – like a rogue raccoon family or a bathtub mysteriously filled with pickle jars (hey, it's Nashville!).
Pro Tip: Watching Troy navigate these quirky challenges is like attending a demolition derby meets history lesson. You never know what wild ride you're in for!
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
Dream Teams: Design Duos and Power Couples
Listed Sisters: Buckle up for some serious sibling synergy with the identical twins, Lex and Alana. These designer/realtor dynamos are all about helping folks find their dream homes, while injecting some serious design magic into properties that need a little TLC. Expect playful banter, fierce negotiation skills, and transformations that'll make you want to hug your whole house.
Masters of Flip: This husband-and-wife duo, Kourtney and Dave, are Nashville flipping royalty. They tackle down-and-out properties and turn them into modern masterpieces perfect for young families. Think shiplap, open floor plans, and enough white subway tile to blind a bachelorette party.
Bonus points: Keep an eye out for cameos from their adorable crew, including a dog who might steal the show (sorry, Kourtney and Dave!).
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
From Business Partners to Benchwarmers: When Co-Flippers Call it Quits
- Flip or Flop Nashville: This show needs a dramatic music cue, because it followed the professional (and once personal) partnership of DeRon Jenkins and Page Turner. They were Nashville's answer to Tarek and Christina El Moussa, but with a whole lot more twang. Let's just say their on-screen chemistry went from sizzling to sub-zero faster than you can say "white farmhouse sink."
Word on the street: Although the show's over, DeRon has a new flipping venture called "Joined at the Flip" (intriguing!), so stay tuned for more Nashville fix-up drama!
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
