Megan Lawrence and Sarah Beinstein host curated DIY events throughout the Hudson Valley. The DIY Network pitches the episode this way: “Megan and Sarah run a DIY blog and workshop, but they’ve decided to take their projects to the next level: flipping a house! These girls may have an eye for design, but they have a lot to learn about construction. With the occasional injury and lack of focus, the girls struggle to complete their renovations on time and anywhere near budget.”
Nixie Sparrow is located at 291 Main St. and at nixiesparrow.com.
