Even if you're looking for an affordable starter property instead. house hunter HGTV joins Erin and Ben Napier to learn how to renovate a master bath and prove you don't need an unlimited bank account to make your biggest design dreams come true. So when you happen to come across a renovation project that costs quite a bit, like her $191,000 kitchen remodel in the latest episode of the TV show, Christina on the coast— we're definitely keeping an eye on it.
In the Season 5 premiere, Christina Hall is asked by fellow self-proclaimed soccer mom Amy to spruce up her Newport Beach kitchen. The task was simple. Transform a crowded kitchen into an open, airy oasis that emphasizes indoor and outdoor living. Amy and her husband Scott originally set a budget of $150,000, but as with most renovations, things happened.
When Hall's contractor replaced the tiles in the kitchen with a hardwood floor, he realized that the floor needed to be leveled. This will cost him an additional $1,800. The client then asked Christina to design their family room. That included adding a bar ($5,300), repainting the bookshelves ($600) and renovating the highly controversial fireplace (approximately $3,000). And of course, let's not forget her two bifold doors leading to the backyard. Each costs her $15,000. When all was said and done, the grand total was $191,000 for her. (Yes, you read that correctly.)

And of course, who can forget the big project she worked on with Tarek El Moussa? flip or flopmany of which came with seven-figure price tags?
