HGTV UK / YouTube Evan Thomas and Keith Bynum
HGTV stars Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas are no strangers to living in an active work site. The “Bargain Block” couple used to live in the homes they renovated to save money before buying their own home in Detroit. That didn’t stop the couple from turning their own home into a work site, though.
In the show’s October 25 episode, Bynum and Thomas took a break from flipping neighborhood homes to tackle their own renovation, and now fans can see the finished project. Bynum shared photos of the finished interiors in an October 27 Instagram post.
The HGTV star also reflected on the renovation in his post’s caption, writing, “Our house was such a special project because we’ve lived here long enough to know what we wanted in a forever home. Getting to see our vision come to life was amazing. It was a lot of hard work but it was so worth it.”

Fans React to Keith Bynum & Evan Thomas’ Home Renovation
In the October 25 episode of “Bargain Block” Bynum and Thomas detailed the changes they were making to their home, including the addition of a bathroom, den, and deck on the first floor, with another bathroom and a larger primary bedroom upstairs. All in all, the “Bargain Block” boys planned to bring their home from around 1,000 to around 1,800 square feet, nearly doubling the homes’ size.
Bynum’s post showcased an updated kitchen, dining room, den, bedroom, and bathroom. While neutral tones were utilized throughout the home, there are some key pops of both color and texture in elements including the kitchen countertops and the fireplace in the den. The fireplace is brought to life with green tiles from historic Detroit tile company Pewabic.
Bynum and Thomas had to squeeze their own home renovation in after work hours to allow the rest of their regular projects to continue with no interruption. All this extra work paid off, as the completed renovation photos were a hit with fans, who took to Bynum’s comment section to praise the home’s interiors.
“Hi there :-) my husband and I watched your show last night and your addition is beautiful! You all are just so authentic! We laughed so much with both of you, because y’all are so funny and so talented! You bring so much joy to all of us! Enjoy your beautiful 🏡” one fan wrote.
“That fireplace 😍!! Everything looks so classy, warm and cozy,” another user added.
“Your vibe for your forever home is so luxe and welcoming! I ❤️ how it turned out” a third fan commented.
