Bonnie, Lana and Erin have been best friends for almost 20 years and have seen each other through all the ups and downs of life: meeting and marrying their husbands, starting families (they now have nine beautiful kids between them) and juggling busy careers. But in 2014, they took a leap of faith together, quit their jobs and created Three Birds Renovations in pursuit of a more fulfilling life – working for themselves, doing something they loved, and with more family time.

Within a few short months of starting out they had successfully bought, renovated and sold their first property. Fast-forward to today and they’ve transformed nine houses (including 32 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms and 11 kitchens), amassed a gorgeous group of followers who make it all worthwhile and learned more than they ever could have imagined. They’ve poured all that hard-earned knowledge into their online renovation course, The Reno School. They started out flipping houses and then reno’d their forever homes … now they are wholly focused on inspiring and empowering women, anywhere in the world, to turn THEIR renovating dreams into REALITY.
