Reena and I are watching a lot of HGTV programs now. We just love them. It is so exciting to see how so many people are buying houses and making them homes. We also love the shows where they renovate part of the home into something spectacular. Sometimes it is hard to believe that it was the same place! The interior designers of HGTV are just awesome.
Some of the shows we watch regularly are:
1. Holmes on Homes
Here Mike Holmes takes on projects that have been screwed up by some other contractor. It is amazing to see how some of the contractors cut corners, deliver low quality product, and worse work without permit and swindle innocent homeowners. Holmes on the other hand is a professional, and the pride he takes in his work shows!
2. House Hunters
This is our favorite show. It shows families looking for a house in a particular location. They see several houses in their budget and finalize on the one. The suspense at end of the show (which house they select, and will they get the house they bid on) is nice.
3. Carter Can
Carter Osterhouse renovates part of a house as per the owners taste.
4. Property Income
Scott McGillivray changes basements to habitable apartments. This is a really nice show and the transformation he brings is just awesome.
5. The Outside Room
This is a new show on HGTV. Jamie Duree is a genius!! He transforms the outside space of homes into something spectacular. In one of the episode he transformed the space to a Bali inspired garden. The final result was just so beautiful that you dream of having such a space for yourself someday!
6. Property Virgins
This is another show where first time house buyers try to find a house and bid on the one they like. It is pretty informative and shows what are the things to watch out for when buying a house. But I don't like the host Sandra Rinamoto. She is at many times too aggressive, and pushes the buyers into making a bid. I think she should give more space to the buyers and be less intrusive.
Is anyone else out there HGTV freak like us? :)
