Host

Nicole Curtis (b. August 20, 1976[3]) advocates for the preservation and restoration of existing architecture over demolition when feasible. She has rehabbed homes in Saint Paul, Minnesota; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Lake Orion, Michigan; Detroit, Michigan; and Akron, Ohio. Her work centers on pre-World War II homes, and her renovation philosophy is to "restore old homes to their former glory" rather than modernization.[4]

Curtis grew up in Lake Orion, Michigan and graduated from Lake Orion High School in 1994.[5][6][7] Her family owned a garbage business.[7] She attended college in Georgia, Florida, and Michigan and had her son, Ethan, before she graduated. As of September 2014 she lives in a renovated 1904 home in Detroit.[4] Curtis originally intended to study law in college but later switched to education.[8]

Curtis announced in July 2015 that she was expecting her second child[9] and later that year gave birth to a son, Harper.[10]
