In the episode "Old Biker Bar" of HGTV's hit show Good Bones, mother-daughter duo Karen E. Laine and Mina Starsiak Hawk take on their latest renovation project in the historical Bates-Hendricks neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana.
The episode begins with Karen and Mina discovering an old biker bar that has been vacant for over a decade. Despite its rough exterior, the duo sees potential in the building and decides to transform it into a cozy home for a young couple.
Before they can get started on the remodeling process, Karen and Mina must first tackle the extensive demolition work required to strip the building down to its bare bones. They work together with their team of contractors to remove walls, floors, and ceilings, revealing the building's unique brick and steel frame interior.
Once the demolition is complete, Karen and Mina get to work on designing the interior of the home. They opt for an open concept that makes use of the building's industrial feel, incorporating elements like exposed ductwork and steel beams into the final design. The home's unique layout also allows Karen and Mina to create separate spaces for the living area, dining area, and kitchen, while still maintaining an open feel throughout the space.
One of the standout elements of the remodel is the kitchen, which features custom-built cabinets made from reclaimed wood and steel. The duo also installs a large island that serves as a centerpiece for the space, complete with a built-in wine fridge and seating for four.
In addition to the kitchen, Karen and Mina also tackle the home's bedrooms and bathrooms. They create a spacious master suite with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom that features a luxurious soaking tub. The guest bedroom also gets a major upgrade, with a custom-built Murphy bed that can be easily folded up to create more space when needed.
Throughout the renovation process, Karen and Mina face a number of challenges, from unexpected plumbing issues to the discovery of a hidden well in the backyard. However, they remain determined to complete the project on time and within budget.
In the end, Karen and Mina successfully transform the old biker bar into a stunning industrial-chic home that is perfect for the young couple who will soon call it home. The final product is a testament to the duo's unique design style and their ability to see potential in even the most unexpected places.
