In addition to renovating the structure of the home itself, Erin also completely decorates the inside of the homes on the show. The end result is usually an inviting home with a charming, vintage-meets-rustic-meets-modern decorative style. But how much of the furniture do the people featured on Home Town actually get to keep?
It actually depends on the budget for the project, which differs from house to house depending on what the family can afford. Erin actually gave a great breakdown of what each family gets to keep in an Instagram post, saying, “The homeowners' budget usually does allow for lots of pieces they get to keep and the custom pieces Ben builds for each home and I like to use the homeowner's own furnishings and objects as much as possible. For what's left, we fill the houses with goods from all our favorite local shops around Laurel (tagged in the photo) and the homeowners get a cataloged binder of everything we use that shows the special price our shop owners offer if they would like to keep it. It's a kind of ‘Welcome to the neighborhood!’”
