Interior and architectural designer Kristina Crestin has had plenty of fabulous design opportunities in her life (her time on hit show Farmhouse Fixer among them), but she had never revamped a home on an operational farm — until now, that is. 'We were pretty excited to get this one,' she says of her latest farmhouse redesign, 'because it was a working farm and we don't have a lot of opportunities to work with a working farm.' Jonathan Knight, Kristina's counterpart and the show's host, 'was just so excited about all the tractors and the animals and the gardening.'
But of course, there is more pressure when you're revamping something that's 'part of someone's heritage,' she explains. You 'really want to nail it.' And in this case, the farm had been in the family for three generations, so 'I'd say the stress level is a little higher.'
