In the latest episode of HGTV’s renovations show *Totally ‘90s House*, Jodie Sweetin surprised her co-star Beverley Mitchell with an unexpected confession — she has never actually watched *7th Heaven*, the iconic family drama series in which Mitchell starred. The revelation came while the pair worked on transforming their property’s primary bedroom.

The third episode of the series sees two teams of beloved ’90s stars competing to give various spaces a contemporary yet nostalgic overhaul. Tasked with revamping their bedroom, Sweetin and Mitchell opted for a “modern Mediterranean” aesthetic, chosen to pay homage to the owners’ Greek roots.
As they set about their project, Sweetin, 44, and Mitchell, 45, began repainting the walls in neutral tones to create a serene and elegant atmosphere. They aimed to evoke a “spa, zen, retreat-like” essence, elaborating on their plans while sweetly reminiscing about their past television roles. During the process, Sweetin turned to Mitchell and asked about her bedroom design on *7th Heaven*, before sheepishly admitting, “I never watched it, sorry.”
Mitchell’s reaction was priceless; she looked momentarily stunned, her mouth agape in disbelief. “Totally fine,” she eventually quipped, recovering her composure. “7th Heaven was definitely more in this colour tone. Beige, not as fancy as a limewash wall.” This light-hearted exchange set a playful tone for the episode, illustrating the camaraderie shared by the former co-stars.
As the duo continued their work, Sweetin’s thoughts drifted back to a particularly memorable scene from *Full House*, where her character Stephanie Tanner had a memorable argument with her on-screen sister, D.J., played by Candace Cameron Bure. Recalling the episode titled “The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang,” Sweetin mentioned an incident where an argument escalated and resulted in a hole being knocked into a wall. “So it’s kind of giving me that vibe,” she laughed, clearly relishing the nostalgia of her time on the show.
After several moments of suspending their focusing painting duties, Sweetin took a moment to evaluate their wall work. “What do you think?” she asked Mitchell. “If it stays like this… I hate it. If it looks better when it dries, I love it.” Their candid discussion about their handiwork capably showed the blend of humour and seriousness that defines their competitive spirit.
Sweetin and Mitchell are not alone in their bid for renovation success; they are competing in tandem with Brian Austin Green, known for his role in *Beverly Hills, 90210*. Their rivals include Keshia Knight Pulliam from *The Cosby Show*, Matthew Lawrence of *Boy Meets World*, and Melissa Joan Hart from *Sabrina, the Teenage Witch*. Hart, however, had to excuse herself from the last episode due to other commitments.
Hosted by Jaleel White from *Family Matters*, *Totally ‘90s House* not only gives a modern twist to cherished childhood memories but also champions causes close to the contestants’ hearts. The winning team receives a $25,000 donation to a charity of their choice, adding a philanthropic aspect to the friendly competition.
*Totally ‘90s House* airs every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on HGTV, bringing nostalgia and interior design together in a programme that resonates with fans of classic television. The blend of familiar faces, past memories, and stylish transformations ensures the series remains a nostalgic hit with viewers.
