Crestin majored in interior design in college.
After working for an interior design company, she started her own business in 2009.
“In the early 2000s, their first interactions were as client and customer.
Despite being a NKOTB fan, Crestin didn’t get starstruck.
Their friendship took off immediately.
Crestin was equally impressed by Knight’s enthusiasm for design.
The close proximity of living in the same Massachusetts town helped them strengthen their connection.
In 2016, Crestin appeared on “This Old House,” and Knight sweetly praised his friend.
“I got a text from him like ‘Oh my God.
I’m just watching this episode.
I’m so proud of all the things you’ve done …
I’m so happy the world can see your talent,'” Crestin informed HGTV.
A few years later, the friends were working on TV together.
After her experiences on “This Old House,” Kristina Crestin yearned for another TV opportunity.
Serendipitously, during the pre-production days of “Farmhouse Fixer,” the team invited her to participate.
Crestin enthusiastically recalled toScout & Nimble.
Throughout their TV collaboration, Crestin and Knight are each other’s staunchest advocates.
Over the years, she’s found his friendship to be a continual source of motivation.
However, Knight also saw it as a chance to challenge himself.
In addition, the two friends had a blast sharing accommodations in Colorado and hanging out during their downtime.
Happily, their team won that week’s portion of the competition.
True to form, Knight made sure to credit his friend.
“I’ve known [Kristina] forever,” he proclaimed on the show (viaHeavy).
“You know she’s my ride or die.
I couldn’t do this without her.”
