Considering Karen Laine and Mina Starsiak Hawk were offered a show primarily because of their impressive business acumen, it makes sense that the original title for “Good Bones” paid tribute to it. 

According to House Beautiful, when the pilot for the show was released in May 2015, it was initially entitled “Two Chicks and a Hammer,” which is also the name of their company. However, although HGTV quickly greenlit more episodes, it changed the name to “Good Bones” in the process. 

Naturally, it didn’t matter, with filming beginning on “Good Bones” just a couple months after the pilot dropped, but it’s interesting to imagine what kind of show “Two Chicks and a Hammer” could have been. Funnily enough, Starsiak Hawk didn’t really get the new name. “I actually HATED the name when they first told us, but now I can’t imagine it being anything different,” she said during an Instagram Q&A session, per Pop Culture.

The HGTV star pointed out that she and her mother don’t actually have a lot of say in what makes it to the screen. Starsiak Hawk clarified, “I build houses. The powers that be make a show.”

The duo wasn’t looking for fame when HGTV came calling. In fact, Starsiak Hawk reasoned it all happened by chance. “Mom and I aren’t the types to say no to a new challenge so when they asked if we’d ever consider doing a show we said ‘heck yea,'” she quipped.
