HGTV’s ‘Totally ’90s House’ Stars Kept Props From Iconic Shows

HGTV's new home renovation competition series, 'Totally '90s House,' features prominent television stars from the 1990s tasked with updating outdated homes. Premiering on August 26, the six-week show is hosted by Jaleel White, 49, known for his role as Steve Urkel in "Family Matters." The competition divides celebrities into two teams: Team Mauve and Team Curtains. Team Mauve consists of Jodie Sweetin, 44, famous for "Full House," Brian Austin Green, 53, from "Beverly Hills, 90210," and Beverley Mitchell, 45, who starred in "7th Heaven." This team is renovating a property in Mullica Hill, New Jersey, aiming for a modern Mediterranean aesthetic. Team Curtains includes Keshia Knight Pulliam, 47, recognized from "The Cosby Show," Melissa Joan Hart, 50, star of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," and Matthew Lawrence, 46, from "Boy Meets World." They are joined by his brother, Joey Lawrence, 50, known for "Blossom." This team is working on a beachside property in Long Island, New York, with the goal of creating a contemporary coastal cottage. Each team is allocated a budget of $200,000 for their renovations. They also receive guidance from HGTV experts Sabrina Soto, host of "The High Low Project," and Carter Oosterhouse, from "Carter Can." The winning team will receive bragging rights and a $25,000 donation to a charity of their choice. Despite their task of removing retro elements from the homes they are renovating, the celebrity participants revealed that they have kept significant props from iconic television sets for their personal collections. Jodie Sweetin confirmed she has kept items from the "Full House" set, while Keshia Knight Pulliam shared that she has memorabilia from "The Cosby Show." These kept props represent tangible connections to the beloved shows that defined a generation of television viewing. The series aims to blend nostalgia with modern design, as the stars not only transform homes on screen but also share their personal insights into home makeovers. The Mullica Hill, NJ, renovation is described as a modern Mediterranean-style space, while the Long Island, NY, project is envisioned as a contemporary coastal cottage. The show's premise highlights the enduring appeal of 1990s television culture and its influence on contemporary design and entertainment.
