Here’s the summary: After many successful seasons, “House Sweet Home” could be on the brink of cancellation as ratings have fallen. Everything is riding on the all-important Christmas episode…when the prospective homeowner suddenly backs out.
With no time to find another option—and over Stella’s strong protestations—Pablo and their show’s producer, Zoe, decide on a new plan of action: they will renovate the house on which Stella just closed escrow: a Victorian home in Lexington, Virginia, that was built by her great-great grandparents in 1910. Adding to the draw, Stella’s fiancé, Jack (Selkin) suggests they combine the reveal with their own onsite wedding…live on Christmas Eve.
With only a few weeks to transform the early-20th-century house that, in the early 21st century, has essentially gone to ruin, not to mention plan a wedding, Stella knows she needs reinforcements.
She enlists her friend and mentor, Frederica “Freddy” Greene (Farr), who is not only an expert on historic homes but also shares Stella’s design aesthetic, which clashes with Pablo’s.
Stella wants to restore the once-beautiful house, where she has so many happy childhood memories. Pablo, whose standard approach is summed up in his nickname, “The Sledgehammer,” wants to take down walls and paint or replace…well…everything.
However, as the two work closely together and uncover hidden truths, about the house and each other, the foundation of their relationship begins to shift, and what began as another renovation project just might become a labor of love.
