One of the best home renovation shows is Good Bones, which focuses on mother-daughter duo Karen Laine and Mina Starsiak, and their home renovation company. Karen brings a lot to the show, but there's a lot more to the HGTV star than her hammer skills. Here's the truth about Karen Laine.

In 2019, Karen announced that she was stepping back from Two Chicks and a Hammer. The reality star revealed in a blog post that she has a lot of hobbies she plans to focus on in her retirement. She wrote that her retirement means she has more time to spend with her husband and her mom.

Even though she's retired from the family business, Karen has no plans of retiring from Good Bones and plans to do even more DIY projects for the show. She wrote,

"I have complete confidence that the company Mina and I founded, based on the novel idea of improving neighborhoods by rehabilitating the worst houses in a neighborhood, one house at a time, has a bright future! I won't be far, and will likely just be puttering in the yard!" Keep watching the video to see the truth about Good Bones star Karen Laine.
