Inspired by the majestic mountains and lush forests surrounding Bend, Ore, the HGTV show features designer Karrie and her 22-year-old son and design assistant, Tristan, customise comfortable and inviting living spaces for families using unique materials, including locally sourced reclaimed wood, hand painted tiles, steel shelving and concrete countertops.

Through collaboration and compromise—and mom having the final say—the duo works through their differences to complete the renovated homes.

“I’ve been designing and renovating homes for almost two decades, and now my son Tristan has joined me,” said Karrie. “I love working with him. Together, we create great homes for families to love.”

The premiere episode of Mom & Me features foster parents who task Karrie and Tristan with updating and improving the layout of their rural home. The mother and son build a family-friendly modern kitchen, update the 1970s-era bathroom and add ample bedrooms for the kids.
