Mina and Karen purchase and an old townhome in the popular Bates-Hendricks neighborhood. After encountering dry rot and termites, the unpredictable roadblocks put a giant dent in their budget and on their attitudes toward the project. But just when all hope seems lost, a rare and valuable "treasure" found during the ceiling demolition might have them changing their tune about this troublesome townhome.
The Shabbiest Townhouse
Mina and Karen are the new owners of a very outdated and bland townhouse in the heart of the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood. Despite the maroon carpeting, peach wallpaper and active bird's nests, the home has a lot of potential. The women get started designing a new layout after demolition but all work comes to a halt after they find a surprise in the attic and have to call the police. Once they are back on track, Karen and Mina pour their hearts and souls into finishing the home for friends of the family.
An Itty Bitty Beach Bungalow
Mina and Karen are back in Old Southside where they look to transform a small, two-bedroom home into a beautiful beach bungalow on a modest budget. If they make a decent profit, Mina plans to realize her dream of building a Two Chicks Headquarters.
From Burned Out to Boho Nordic
Mina and Karen have bought one of the worst homes in Old Southside that has major fire damage. And with a tiny yard and a small footprint, they'll need to transform this burned-out ramshackle into a stunning two-story boho or it may be another bust.
Tad's Tiny Home
Mina and Karen look to turn an old garage on one of their rental properties into a tiny home for Mina's brother, Tad. With foundation issues and a mysterious broken pipe, this tiny home has massive issues that must be resolved before Tad can move in.
New Babies and New Neighborhoods
Mina and Karen's first house in the new Near Eastside neighborhood seems too good to be true, and shortly after demo, their renovation plans begin to crumble. With Mina's baby arriving soon, the pressure is on to keep this home from becoming a disaster.
Bringing in the Buyers
Mina and Karen have high hopes for turning their mostly demoed house on Palmer Street into a moody Cape Cod-style masterpiece. As the project develops, unforeseen problems begin to emerge that may make this family home a major catastrophe.
Major Mansion Makeover
Mina is renovating the home of professional basketball player Justin Holiday and his family. In hopes of expanding her business into more client renovations, Mina's goal is to turn this outdated mansion into a modern oasis before Justin's season begins.
Down to the Studs: Eclectic Artistry in Garfield Park
Featuring insider facts and behind-the-scenes footage, Mina and Karen get creative while transforming a home with nightmarish texture into an eclectic, art-filled dreamscape.

A Stately Home Full of Slithering Surprises
Karen and Mina team up with their friend Josh on a high-stakes property in Fountain Square. What looks promising at first glance quickly turns when during their initial walk-through they find some of the previous owner's pet snakes still slithering throughout the house. The news only goes downhill from there when half the foundation suddenly disappears, but once finished this Fountain Square beauty is worth all the trouble.
Budget-Busting Victorian
Mina and Karen purchase a home near the Northside neighborhood that's full of historical features. They do their best to design an open floor plan while preserving as many elements as possible, but structural slow-downs and permitting nightmares threaten their schedule and budget.
Down to the Studs: From Warehouse to Storefront
Featuring insider facts and behind-the-scenes footage, Mina and Karen have returned to the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood to turn a rundown warehouse into their first retail store.

A Stately House on Sanders
Mina and Karen are taking on a sprawling, 2,800-square-foot home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a bonus space upstairs. While the three-story home is structurally sound, it needs a lot of work to make it ready to sell, and Mina and Karen have a whopping $275,000 renovation budget. The home has beautiful woodwork, paneling and a majestic staircase, but tensions flare as the women have differing opinions on how to approach its design and style.
New House, Old Spirit
Mina and Karen venture just east of downtown Indianapolis to take on a two-story, worn-down home that's as risky as it is disgusting. The block hasn't been revitalized yet and between the massive sinkhole, caved-in roof and decomposing animals throughout, their walkthrough is almost impossible. The house has almost no sustainable foundation so the women get busy rebuilding from the ground up all while adding features that make it feel like the home has been on the block for decades.
The Gloriously Glam Home
Mina and Karen purchase a vacant lot and what begins as a new construction to sell on the market quickly turns into a build for Mina's friends. However, a lingering pipe issue may add time and a hefty price tag to the project.
The Greenwich Village Townhome
Mina and Karen return to Old Southside to renovate the right side of their duplex townhome using a Greenwich Village design. Karen shares a major announcement about her position in the company, and the ramifications of that change quickly come to light.
Claire's Crooked Cottage
A mother has called on Mina and Karen to help fix up a home that she purchased for her daughter. While the cottage is in better condition than most of the duo's projects, they're hoping to add more living space and straighten out its crooked exterior.
A Charred Charmer for Cory
Mina and Karen are tackling a 100-year-old home that's endured a severe fire and foundational damage. Cory loves its potential and is interested in making this his permanent home, but the costly list of extreme challenges may cause him to get burned.
Near Eastside Americana Cottage
In Near Eastside, Mina and Karen hope a two-story addition with an Americana cottage design will turn a heftier profit than the area's last project. After finding a series of mysterious holes, the team worries the home will become an actual money pit.
Little Pink House on Palmer
Mina and Karen buy a tiny duplex in a neighborhood south of downtown that has potential to be a big risk. The area is still in transition, and there are already tenants on one side, leaving the women only a small space to work with. Mina's sister-in-law is the intended resident, so they use her as inspiration while transforming it into a cute pink cottage with a few special touches. The big reveal is an emotional moment where the flowing tears confirm the house is, indeed, perfect.
The Brickyard Brick House
Mina and Karen revamp a historic brick house in a rising area of south Indianapolis. The house is in bad shape. Luckily, they have a healthy budget of $200,000 and they are going to need every dime. The ladies plan to increase the square footage with a two-story addition and create a whole new layout with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths.
