Apparently the house designs of “Good Bones” are timeless.

That certainly seems to be the case with this latest HGTV property, which received an offer just days after it went on the market — and seven years after it was beautifully renovated by a mother-daughter duo. Karen E. Laine And Mina Starsiak Hawk.

Fans of “Good Bones” have been able to enjoy a lot of new renovation material in recent days after Laine and Starsiak Hawk introduced a new HGTV spinoff: “Good Bones: New Beginnings.”

The show is a marked departure from the old “Good Bones” days, with the estranged mother and daughter tackling separate projects despite a lingering rift between them.

But the so-called tensions between the two women do not mean that their previous joint projects are less attractive, as the quick sale of this house proves.

Showstopper of the second season

Speaking of the show’s old charm: A house from season 2 came on the market earlier this month.

The four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home, featured in the June 2017 episode of “Abandoned Build Rescue,” was listed for $400,000 and an offer was accepted after just 11 days. The home previously sold for $345,000 in 2020.

That’s no surprise, because the house looks great. But some might be surprised to learn that the house looks almost exactly the same as it did when Starsiak Hawk and Laine renovated it in 2016 – even though it has had two different owners. From the exterior to the wallpaper, the two previous owners apparently liked the look so much that they kept it.

Keep scrolling to see how little has changed in eight years and decide for yourself if the designs have stood the test of time – or if you think the home needs some updating.

Stand the test of time

Comparing this 225 square meter residential building with the 2016 version is like playing “spot the difference” between nearly identical photos.

The exterior looks the same, with only a mature tree on the side of the house proving that these photos were taken years apart. While some may think green and gray is an unusual color scheme for the exterior, it works for this home.

Inside, the kitchen and living room fixtures look exactly as Starsiak Hawk and Laine designed them: warm floors, clean white walls, Shaker-style cabinets and butcher block countertops.

Of course, the furniture has changed, and apparently one of the owners installed a chandelier in the kitchen, but otherwise the room hasn’t changed much.

Other parts of the home look much the same as they did nearly a decade ago, including the powder room, which features the same colorful wallpaper and rustic floating shelves that Starsiak Hawk and Laine chose in 2016.

Upstairs there is a beautiful built-in bookcase that Starsiak Hawk had custom made based on an inspirational photo online. The bookcase still looks great and adds both color and storage to the room.

Not much has changed in the master suite either. The bedroom is large, and although the white walls feel plain, the space is ready should the next owner want to add artwork, an accent wall, or floating shelves.

The master bathroom and closet appear unchanged, but there is room for improvement.

The closet system isn’t exactly exciting (but it’s practical), consisting of the same wire shelving and plastic bins that Starsiak Hawk and Laine installed for the show. Maybe it’s time for a closet upgrade.

Room for improvement

As a result, Starsiak Hawk noticed that this house does not have much outdoor space.

There’s a garage behind the house, and while Starsiak Hawk says covered parking is a big plus for Indianapolis buyers, that leaves only a narrow side yard for outdoor living.

So the mother-daughter duo made the most of that space and added a patio. At the end of the show, the outdoor area looked great, but now it’s a bit weathered. It’s the only room in the house that looks completely different than it did on TV in 2016.
