SERIES
“Good Bones” star Mina Starsiak Hawk will lead her own spin-off series, “Good Bones: Risky Business,” premiering September 6 on HGTV and Discovery+. The six-episode series will feature her going solo to purchase the historic Sanders House in the Indianapolis neighborhood of Fountain Square. The 7,000 square-foot, more than a century old property will be the largest project Mina has tackled in terms of size and budget. Throughout the series, Mina will adjust to working with a whole new team, dealing with the unexpected costs and challenges that come with updating old construction.
“I’ve been renovating homes for more than a decade, taking on some of the nastiest houses you can imagine,” Starsiak Hawk said. “Now I’m taking on my dream project, turning a massive Victorian-style property into a bed and breakfast/event space, but it could easily become a nightmare. It’s a huge risk, but I love a challenge!”
