San Antonio is a historical city in the south-central part of the state of Texas. Located at the coast of the San Antonio River, the city is home to a variety of ethnic groups and cultures.

Kim was definitely excited to work with the different homeowners who were second-guessing their decision of buying the property. In the very first episode of the show, Kim is approached by a couple who bought their house for the huge backyard and bountiful fruit trees. However, the odd layout of the house left a lot to be desired. Hence, they appealed to Kim, who converted the lackluster property into a beautiful house to die for.
“3 years ago @highnoon asked me if I’d be interested in renovating 7 houses in 24 weeks for @hgtv so of course, I just said yes!” Kim shared in her Instagram post. “I look back on confident, naive 3 year agos me, and feel endeared to her. I of course could not know all the things this experience would be, and it was such A THING, more humbling moments and wild moments than I can count. I was blown by all the incredible families and our crews who came alongside us to help bring this thing across the finish line.” Kim’s husband, Bryan Wolfe, has also been a huge help during the production of the reality show.
