Who doesn’t love a great reality show all about design and décor? We think it’s safe to assume that no one dislikes these shows, and we believe a lot of it has to do with Chip and Joanna Gaines. But the love for these shows is growing as more new faces of design pop up, such as Kristina Crestin. She really seems to have it all going for her, and we love her for it. She’s a designer, she’s the star of “Farmhouse Fixer”, and she’s just a delight. We can’t help but want to know more about her.
1. She Started Her Television Career on Another Show
Let’s take you back to the year 2016. The world was great. Dr. Seuss wasn’t on the chopping block, and the word pandemic was unheard of. Kristina Crestin was living her best life in 2016 as the new star of “This Old House,” as a designer. It was her debut role, and it was one that took her to great heights in her career.
2. She’s Hands-On
She has one goal in mind when it comes to work – to work hard. She’ll take early morning calls and stay up late to make sure she’s on top of the situation. She’ll show up and see what needs to be done, and make it happen. She’s doing this with a passion, and her passion is driving her work.
3. She Met Her Husband at Work
He’s in construction, and his name is Kirby Crestin. She was just doing her thing, and he was just doing his, and that’s how it all worked out. We have a feeling it’s beneficial for their marriage that they are in the same line of work – essentially – because they both understand the demands and the time it takes to do a job correctly.
4. She’s Been With Her Husband a Long Time
These two didn’t just meet and get married recently; they’ve been together for more than 11 years. Nonetheless, they don’t have children. They keep things very close to their chests, so we don’t know if it’s from a lack of wanting kids, a lack of ability to have kids, or if they just haven’t made any firm decisions yet. It’s really none of our concern, isn’t it?
5. She’s a Busines Founder
She began her business, Kristina Crestin Design, back in 2009. Knowing exactly what she wanted to do with her life, she quickly figured out how to do it right. Her website is impeccable and makes us all eager to work with her right away.
6. She’s Living in Massachusetts
She’s currently living and working in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts – a place that we imagine is just as lovely and picture-perfect in real life as it looks on paper. She is passionate about working on projects that bring her joy, often involving taking something that’s considered ugly and unloved and making it a shining star.
7. She’s Full of Energy
If you’ve seen her on television, you already know this. But you might be asking yourself if this is true. It is. She’s the first to admit that she is full of energy, has an enthusiasm that knows no bounds, and has a lively personality. We believe that you need all of these qualities to do what she does and excel in her field of work.
8. She’s So Relatable
We know this not because we can see it on television — which we absolutely can — but because her team at work is the most adorable. She’s got some of the best staff bios on her website. For example, she lists her office manager, Deborah Bennet, as the Girl Friday and Office Manager, so we imagine she’s a lot of fun. She also has a photo of the most adorable dog, Cooper, who is employed as the head greeter. We really want to just hang out in her office for fun.
9. She’s Insanely Private
She might have a business, a reality show, and the most fabulous personality, but she’s good at keeping her life private. She’s not trying to share every detail with everyone, and we appreciate that. What we really appreciate, however, is that she’s skilled at making you feel as if you’ve known her your entire life even though you know next to nothing about her.
10. She’s Willing to Work Anywhere
She specializes in working in the Greater Boston and New England area, but she’s not opposed to taking on a job anywhere her clients may need her. We have a feeling that she probably won’t take on just any job anywhere in the world, but if it speaks to her…well, she just might.
