Darius Rucker can now add a new skill to his tool belt: home renovator.
In the debut episode of his new limited series, Rucker’s Reno, Darius takes viewers on a tour of a historical home he’s purchased and renovated in his home city of Charleston, South Carolina.
Citing Charleston as his “favorite city in the world,” Darius purchased the home at 119 Broad St. Built in 1802 and handmade entirely by enslaved people, Darius acknowledged that the home has a “complicated history.” “That’s the only way you can make someplace better is to talk about it and try to work on it,” he says.
The first episode finds the singer and his team of architects and interior designers renovating the kitchen and dining room, with Darius picking out the light fixtures and other elements he wants in the space.
“Wow, this is awesome!” he exclaims as he walks into the newly renovated kitchen, which features a marble island, all new appliances and a TV screen above the original mantle. “I love keeping the history, but bringing the modern touches that look beautiful,” Darius says. “This is a great way to start.”
As for the dish he’ll be whipping up in the newly renovated kitchen? Shrimp and grits.
The six-episode series will continue to air on the Design Network.
