Farmhouse Fixer
Where to watch: HGTV and Discovery+
Farmhouse Fixer is the ultimate blend of timeless charm and restoration for those in need of a warm dose of nostalgia along the renovation journey. Former New Kids on the Block singer and current farmhouse reviver Jonathan Knight’s career after pop stardom sees the New England native restoring historic homes throughout the region (according to his second career calling) and in tandem with interior designer Kristina Crestin, he meticulously restores each timeless property.
They’re not transformations spotted from the highway; they’re immense labors of love comprised of Knight and his crew that shine with this rich history the singer expressed to AD, “when you walk in, you just feel it.” Viewers during the show’s second season this past fall were graced with a cameo from Jonathan’s equally famous brother, Jordan Knight, adding an extra layer of excitement to the already captivating series.
Farmhouse Fixer —though traveling back in time in its own right — reminds us of the wonderful allure from a bygone era and show us the majestic beauty inherent in preserving architectural heritage of any kind and is a must watch for restoration and nostalgia buffs alike.
