Let’s talk about HGTV’s beloved Mina Starsiak Hawk, who continues to prove that she can tackle any obstacle that comes her way. On Thursday, August 31, the Good Bones star encountered an unexpected hiccup while working on a home improvement project, and she handled it with her signature charm and humor.
In an Instagram Story update, Mina, 36, shared a laughable moment where an entire can of paint accidentally fell off her hand truck and splashed all over her clothes and skin. Picture this: she's in the middle of the street, completely covered in white paint, showing her followers the aftermath of the spill. Talk about turning a disaster into a lighthearted story!
Mina playfully told her fans, "It’s everywhere! And that right there, friends, is how nice yoga pants officially become work yoga pants." She didn’t let the mishap get her down, instead turning it into a humorous moment to connect with her audience.

In a true problem-solving fashion, Mina quickly looked for a piece of plastic to cover the paint spill, ensuring no one else would step in it. But here’s the kicker—she had a busy day ahead and little time to clean up. “I have four more stops today and then I’ve got to pick up the kids from school and take them straight to tennis practice looking like a hot mess,” she remarked with a chuckle.
Life's Little Mishaps: Moving Forward
As a mom to two kids, Jack and Charlotte, whom she shares with her husband, Steve Hawk, Mina didn’t let the spill ruin her day. In fact, she left her followers with a powerful message about resilience. “No reason to cry over spilled paint,” she said, showing off the paint blobs on her shoes. “Carry on.”
Later that day, Mina took Jack, 5, to his swim class, proving that she was able to shake off the earlier mishap. Just a few weeks prior, Jack celebrated his birthday with a dinosaur-themed bash that included a delightful petting zoo. Mina captioned a carousel of photos on Instagram, saying, “Jack has such an amazing village. Thank you all for being his people!”
Family Dynamics: Navigating Challenges
While it seemed like the Starsiak-Hawk family had a blast at Jack’s birthday party, Mina revealed some underlying family tensions during an episode of her podcast, “Mina AF.” On Monday, August 28, the design star explained that she wasn’t on the best terms with her brothers William and Tad, as well as her mom, Karen E. Laine.

“Will they even notice who’s here and who’s not here? There’s going to be a bunch of animals. That’s all they care about,” Mina said, referring to the birthday party. “Having to say ‘This is why you’re not invited’ opens up a line of communication to discuss that, and I really don’t want to do that. That sounds exhausting right now. So again, I fall back to ‘Do I just invite everyone because it’s the path of least resistance?’ But it’s what we’ve all always done, and it hasn’t gotten us anywhere better.”
With Good Bones concluding its final season, it remains unclear whether Mina and Karen plan to collaborate again in the future. “Not only do my mom and my two brothers not fall into that category of being involved in their life on a regular basis, we’re also not on good terms,” Mina admitted.
