New York [Feb. 11, 2018] Brother-sister duo Leanne and Steve Ford bring their daring design style to quirky Pittsburgh-area homes in the new season of HGTV hit series Restored by the Fords. The pair, who attracted more than 13.9 million total viewers in season one, return with back-to-back episodes on Tuesday, March 19, at 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. During the series, Leanne, an interior designer, and Steve, a licensed contractor and renovator, help their clients preserve the homes’ original architectural details and infuse the properties with unique design elements, including textured walls, creative ceilings and custom exposed staircases.
“Growing up, Steve was always the handyman, and I was always the creative one. Not much has changed, except now we take on quirky homes and turn them into works of art,” said Leanne. Added Steve, “I love to see what Leanne does—it’s amazing where she’s able to find inspiration.”
In the season opener, Leanne’s former high school lacrosse teammate and her husband are looking to revive their drab Craftsman-style home into a bright and welcoming property. Steve and Leanne take on the challenge by exposing the brick fireplace, eliminating walls and adding French doors that turn the gloomy, choppy interior into a warm and inviting family home.
This season, one reno is truly a family affair when Steve tasks Leanne with designing his first home—an abandoned 1940s warehouse space near downtown Pittsburgh. To create a warm yet industrial-inspired space, Leanne blends her modern design style with Steve’s “must have” list, including heated, polished concrete floors throughout the home. To celebrate Steve’s new bachelor pad, their mom and sister show up for the reveal to be the first to see the gorgeous overhaul.
Beginning Thursday, March 21, a new digital series, Ford Family Classics (wt), will premiere on HGTV’s digital platforms—including HGTV.com, HGTV’s YouTube channel, on demand across all platforms and the HGTV app—and will spotlight Leanne and Steve’s review of their childhood home movies. Joined by other family members along the way, the siblings share their humorous and heartfelt perspectives on their favorite Ford family stories and traditions. Season one of Restored by the Fords also will be available on demand across all platforms and on the HGTV app starting Tuesday, March 5.

What do you think? Have you seen Restored by the Fords? Will you watch the new season?
I really love watching Leanne and Steve interact. Wonderful renovating ideaa and they both have such great smiles.
did not do a make over at 621 Sanders St. We lived there from 1945 through 1948 also at 701 Weighorst from 1938-1945 Any videos or leads on who did the Sanders house. Thanks.
I love the shows, love what Leanne creates and her brother for bring everything together! Praying they would have a new show!
Sure hope this is a keeper. Great show. Along with Good Bones, Windy City Rehab, and Sell or Stay. I hope you add Restored to this channel also.
Please return the Fords, the Boise Boys and Windy City Rehab. They were great! I am sick to death of watching reruns of Fixer Upper, they left the show so goodbye already to them! Your programming manager is boring us all to tears! The Fords and Boise Boys were awesome and unique….I loved watching their shows. Call up Netflix maybe they will give your station some money to produce new material. HGTV has become nothing but monotonous reruns!
Love Boise Boys also!
Please return the Fords, Boise boys, and Windy City to HGTV!!!!! The BEST decorating series. Bored with house hunters and most of shows that r on!!!
They have great personalities but I would not have her decorate my house. How do you call painting everything white decorating. But viva la difference.
Love this show! I’m decorating in black and white now.
Is Restored By The Fords renewed for a third season? Cannot find any info regarding that.
We love this series and look forward to every episode. Leanne has a better, down-to-earth, affordable style than Sara Richardson.
I love the show and will view any episodes
Boring and does she have a deal on white paint it should be call ” The Fords who paint everyrging white ” my mom loves all home improvement shows but she won’t watch them well thank you
Love love love the Ford sibs in Pgh!
I came across this show quite by accident, didn’t see anything else to watch so thought “what the heck” and fell in love. I loved the episode where they painted the door frame teal and the one where they painted kitchen black. I’m now faced with the dilemma of how can I paint my kitchen black. There’s something so different and refreshing about the hosts, not trying to look like models while doing renovations. They are the epitome of the saying less is more. Please send them to my house.
