Home renovation experts Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt, the hosts of 100 Day Dream Home, had planned something unique for season 3 of their HGTV show. The fan-favorite husband-wife real estate couple called upon TikTok and Instagram to write and compose original theme songs for their new 10-episode season of 100 Day Dream Home.

One selected song will premiere before each episode of season 3. On episode 9, airing on April 18, 2022, the show will feature theme music by The Edgar Family Band starring husband-wife Ryan Edgar, Nikki Leonti, and writer Melissa Polinar.

According to the official description of the show:

Impressed by the work the Kleinschmidts did on a sibling's home, an expecting couple knows who to call for their own 100-day build; while Mika blends his dark style with her airy nature, Brian must keep construction on track before the baby arrives.
