Rehab Addict’s Nicole Curtis at the Cleveland Home + Remodeling Expo

Host of DIY Network and HGTV’s Rehab Addict, Nicole Curtis is a self-taught home rehabber and designer, master of salvage picking, spirited advocate for saving old houses, and mom who will appear on the Cleveland Home + Remodeling Expo’s Main Stage Friday, March 14 and Saturday, March 15.

She harnesses her experience with interior design, contracting and real estate in Rehab Addict where she’s a whirlwind of ideas, energy and vision, and her work reflects her passion for repurposing and creating amazing budget-minded designs. In addition to her show, Nicole also consults and tackles projects for clients ranging from revamping a single room to redoing an entire home.

Keep reading as Nicole answers a few questions about her first job, design style and pet peeve. Then plan to see her at the Cleveland Home + Remodeling Expo!

What was your first job?

My first job was picking strawberries on a strawberry farm. 

Describe your design style in five words or less.

Timeless, classic, frugal, eclectic and scrubbable

Which room in your house is your favorite? Why?

My formal dining room because it is where we go to entertain.  That room’s existence is the reason for us to get together with friends and family often.

What is your design or gardening pet peeve?

My design pet peeve is when people design a house for today’s trends and disregard the history and the era of the home.  Also, painting woodwork is a sin in my world.
