Windy City Rehab

—Alison Victoria moves on from remaking the centerpieces of homes to rehabbing entire residences. The former star of DIY Network's long-running series "Kitchen Crashers" tackles her dream job of flipping houses in her hometown of Chicago. Her sharp business skills, knowledge of the local market, and desire to create luxurious designs come in handy, since she's spending megabucks to score vintage fixer uppers in historic neighborhoods and must attract high-end buyers or risk losing substantial investments. With her lead contractor, Donovan Eckhardt, alongside, Alison revives these homes and -- wherever possible -- keeps true to their original history, architecture and community roots.
