Bryan and Sarah Baeumler have spent a lot of time in the Bahamas, but they actually hail from Canada. In fact, “Renovation Island” originated in Canada under the name “Island of Bryan,” according to Yahoo. Prior to the start of the show, the couple and their kids lived in Ontario, Canada. One of their earlier shows, “House of Bryan,” chronicled the couple’s attempt to fix up their Canadian home. “Six years ago, Sarah and I, we found this great little bungalow,” Bryan shared in a trailer. “We’ll do some renovations, clean it up in the next few years,” he added. However, they had a baby and lost track of the time. The HGTV show followed their attempt to finally tackle their project.
“It’s a bit of an odd sensation sitting in a large machine and destroying your largest investment,” Bryan said (via the Toronto Star). And it wasn’t a simple undertaking! “Building a house together is like getting married all over again,” he added. “People view it as a romantic adventure, but there’s days when the budget’s beat up and it’s pouring rain and the machine’s broken down and you’re behind schedule.”
