This Christmas Eve, HGTV has a special pre-holiday gift for Brady Bunch fans and everyone who made A Very Brady Renovation the highest-rated series on the network. Eve Plumb will be back to star in Generation Renovation, a pilot set to air on Tuesday, Dec. 24, at 11 p.m. ET/PT. Eve is an expert home renovator and an avid collector of vintage décor and memorabilia. She also is a talented painter with a keen design sense. In the pilot, she teams up with preservationist Brett Waterman, star of DIY Network's Restored, and her husband and renovation partner Ken Pace to modernize dilapidated cabins and cottages that have been in families for generations. As Eve, Brett and Ken transform the well-loved but worn properties, they also give a nod to the homes’ rich histories and ensure they will be enjoyed by future generations to come.
