The host of HGTV's Hidden Potential shows you what really goes on behind the scenes of a home renovation, with tips, tricks, and step-by-step instructions on how to achieve the look you want for your home.

Imagine if you could pause those home renovation shows for just a second and ask the host to explain how they really made that kitchen transformation happen. Sure, there was a montage of sledgehammers, wall demo, countertop laying, and hauling of back-breaking appliances, but how did they decide on that paint color and sink placement? Most important, what kind of budget would I need to do that? And how would I even begin?

Jasmine Roth, host of HGTV's hit shows Hidden Potential and Help! I Wrecked My House, demystifies the home reno (and the home reno show) in House Story. As someone without any formal training--she didn't go to design or contractor school--Roth had to learn home reno skills on the job, and has now built and designed hundreds of homes, making her the perfect guide to explain the home renovation process. Here she offers a rare glimpse behind the HGTV curtain, inviting readers into her world with instructions on how to make television magic a reality in their own homes. With super-simple advice that takes all the guesswork and stress out of any home project, House Story is an irresistible guide for any homeowner, whether you're undergoing a ground-up renovation or simply sprucing up decor on a rental.

Photographed by the popular Dabito--with a huge media presence of his own--House Story is a lush exploration of what is possible for you and your home, whatever the size and budget.
