Grit, Glam, & Glue Guns: How Kristen Coutts Became a DIY Icon:

On this episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with DIY dynamo and A&E’s newest star, Kristen Coutts, host of Beer Budget Reno. Kristen’s story starts on maternity leave, power drill in hand, with no clue she was about to launch a full-blown design empire. Hear how she turned a fixer-upper, some honest Instagram posts, and a whole lotta awkward moments into a career that’s empowering people to transform their homes—without wrecking their wallets.

Hear how she...

– turned necessity into a full-on purpose and brand

– finds beauty because of the budget, not in spite of it

– makes people feel at home, not just live in one

Plus, Kristen opens up about the renovation moment that made her cry, what she’d say to the scared mom watching from home, and what “home” means to her now. If you’ve ever thought, “I could never do that”—this one’s for you.

Catch Beer Budget Reno premiering Saturday, April 5 at Noon ET/PT on A&E.
