Move over, Ty Pennington! After PASSIONS’ Liza Huber walked down the aisle and wed childhood friend Alex Hesterberg, the newlyweds set about remaking their “nest.” Over two years later, Huber proudly reports that the major renovations are at last completed.

“We just had the last of our workers leave the house like three days ago. We’re in shock that it’s finally over,” says Huber with a laugh. “I drove into my driveway for the very first time yesterday; we’ve been parking on the street for two years.”

But no complaints from Huber or her husband, who both insist it was worth the wait. “We are over the moon. It looks amazing and we’re not leaving — not for a long time (laughs). I’m assuming this process is something like childbirth: You experience the pain, but then you enjoy the gift.”

Huber previews her redecorated digs: “We have a beautiful 1936 Mediterranean home. Being from the East Coast we never really had that, so we kept it that way, including the landscaping, with palm trees and other things you don’t have in New York. And we kept it very airy — we’ve got a barbecue pit, a fire pit and a hot tub — things we never thought we’d have. I’m just glad Gwen has remained on the forefront — so I can pay for everything (laughs).”
