The HGTV show “Windy City Rehab” debuted in January 2019 with co-hosts Alison Victoria and Donovan Eckhardt.
The two made their way around Chicago renovating homes and selling them afterward.
It was a seeming success, both on television and in real life.
The city of Chicago prevented Victoria and Eckhardt from applying for new permits in 2019 after Season 1.
The final blow to Eckhardt was his dismissal from the show after Season 2.
As for Victoria, she’s no longer in contact with Eckhardt.
She’s focused on rebuilding her reputation and the show.
After the season ended, Victoria took a month to escape and reconnect with herself in Paris.
“It didn’t take long.
“You get to watch me go through all that and then get back into the client game.
That’s where I started.
My career started working with clients, then segued and evolved just like life in general.”
Transforming homes
Alison Victoria’s work isn’t only for clients and friends.
She’ll take her Chicago office and make it a home all 6,700 square feet of it.
“The passion is still the same,” Victoria told House Digest.
“The only difference is that you have other people that can help.
With my own home, I don’t have the clients I’m the client.
I wish there was more, but each project I design as if it’s my own.”
As for the future, she’s determined to keep pursuing design and renovation.
Static Media owns and operates The List and House Digest.
