About the host

Hosted by Molly Lucas

Host profile image
Hey there! Our love story began about 40 years ago in the 2nd grade of our hometown elementary school. Fast forward to the Summer of 2020, where we reunited and haven't left each other's side since! Stephen is retired Army Special Forces and I've been selling real estate for over 20 years. We quickly realized that his ability to build things and my knack to make them both pretty and memorable was a winning combination! In addition to purchasing and creating The Rainbow House for both our family and other folks to enjoy, we formed Little Pink Houses Renovation and Design. My love of interior design and Stephen's fine remodeling and carpentry skills give new life to tired spaces in need of love and refurbishment. We specialize in kitchen and bath remodels, whole house or single room makeovers, and helping homeowners create spaces that reflect and compliment their personality and lifestyle. We hope our attention to detail and carefully curated interiors make you feel special, welcome and give you some much needed time away from the everyday hustle and bustle.
