Mina Starsiak Hawk: The Multitalented Renovation Guru Balancing Good Bones And A Very Brady Renovation

Renovating houses isn’t exactly a walk in the park, but for Mina Starsiak Hawk, it’s just the beginning of her whirlwind life. Between starring on HGTV’s hit show Good Bones, which returns for Season 4 on May 14, and working on the highly anticipated A Very Brady Renovation, Mina is making waves in the world of home renovation. Her ability to balance these massive projects is nothing short of impressive.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the significance of A Very Brady Renovation. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Brady Bunch, the iconic sitcom that brought joy to millions, the network purchased the real-life house used as the exterior of the Brady home. Now, they’re giving it a complete makeover to match the interior sets originally built on Paramount Pictures’ sound stages. This project isn’t just about updating a house; it’s about bringing back the nostalgia of one of America’s most beloved TV families.

From Law and Waitressing to Flipping Houses

Before Good Bones became a household name, its stars, Karen E. Laine and Mina Starsiak Hawk, were leading very different lives. Karen was a defense attorney, and Mina was a waitress. But everything changed when they decided to take on the challenge of flipping houses. Their journey began in Indianapolis, Indiana, where they founded a home renovation business called Two Chicks and a Hammer in 2008. Since then, they’ve transformed dilapidated homes into stunning urban masterpieces, one property at a time.

As HGTV describes it, Good Bones showcases the dynamic mother-daughter duo as they revitalize their hometown of Indianapolis. With Mina’s expertise in real estate and Karen’s no-nonsense legal background, they’re unstoppable when it comes to acquiring properties and enlisting their family’s help during the demo and construction phases. Whether it’s fixing up old homes or creating exciting new spaces, the ladies of Good Bones are making a real impact in their community.

A Very Brady Renovation: Bringing the Brady Bunch Home to Life

The four-episode reality series A Very Brady Renovation promises to be a delightful throwback. The HGTV crew will team up with the original Brady kids—Barry Williams, Maureen McCormick, Christopher Knight, Eve Plumb, Mike Lookinland, and Susan Oliver—who are now well into their 50s. Together, they’ll bring the legendary Brady home to life, blending modern updates with classic charm. While no premiere date has been announced yet, fans are already buzzing with excitement.

In an exclusive interview with Mina (check out the video above), she shares her thoughts on both shows, delving into the art of home renovation and her unforgettable experiences working alongside the Brady cast. Mina even recounts her first accidental meeting with Maureen McCormick, which resulted in squeals of excitement from both women—a testament to the enduring magic of The Brady Bunch.
