Curtis also talked about how changing times have impacted the show. She noted, “It’s just getting back to that thing where we’re getting to this economy again where people have excess cash and gutting their old homes and making these trendy kitchens they are not going to want in nine years, nine minutes sometimes. Really just honing in on that. Give the old house a chance. I promise you’ll love it. If not, move to a new loft and sell it.”
