If you could be on any HGTV show which would you pick?

Holmes on Homes. I want him to redo my kitchen and bathes.

Yes, yes, yes!

We own his books and DVR his show.
Love that guy!

Yes, Holmes on Homes! Our house is so cold and drafty, I feel like he could whip this place into shape.

My brother joked that he was going to call Holmes on Homes for our house. I wish he did.

I miss cable! The last home show I remember seeing was Trading Spaces on TLC and the designers on that were mostly nuts.

I miss cable too.

It would be nice if you could just pay a couple bucks for the two channels you actually want instead of $100+ for mostly crap.

Yes! I only keep cable for hgtv (they don't have a roku channel) and food network. Ok, I watch some trashy bravo housewives occasionally too. They make me feel better about my life. Lol.

I'm not a huge HGTV fan, but I did see a show once where professionals ran into people at Loews or Home Depot and asked them what they were planning to do and then professionals did it. Um, YES PLEASE!!!

Hah! I would have a HUGE list of projects and start spending all my time at Lowe's looking pathetic.

Dude, that's kind of my M.O. already.

Ha - I decided last night that I need to replace one of my exterior doors because it leaks air so badly there is no salvaging it.

And, because of the wacky old light fixture in my main bath is starting to crap out on me, I think I am going to have to start the bathroom remodel about 3 years ahead of schedule. The mirror and light are one unit and they tiled around it. So, if it comes off, then I have to do something about the tile. If I am going to do that, then I may as well replace the vanity that I hate and that is twice the appropriate size for the room. Unfortunately, the closet conversion will have to wait. But, I might be able to do the rest myself. The big debate is if the floor tile runs all the way under the vanity or if I have to redo the floor.

I'm planning on using pre-finished beadboard paneling for the bottom half of the walls where it is currently tiled to make things easier. And I keep scoping out Home Depot's clearance section for their vanity sets. They aren't ideal, but should last enough time that I can upgrade when I do the closet.

A first-hand account of letting HGTV get their hands on your investment. It's about what you'd expect for reality TV:

Wow, that article was really interesting. I've heard before that oftentimes the detail work is really shoddy on some of these shows (House Crashers comes to mind) and that the producers won't spend money on some of the finish work if it's not going to appear on tv anyway. I guess this sort of backs that up.

I don't buy a lot of what happens in love it or list it. I feel like the drama is largely made up.

Yes! And it's the same damn show all the time. It also bugs me that to get what you want you have to go over budget. I liked the show for about the first three episodes and then the formula got on my nerves.
