Anyone watch Fixer Upper on HGTV? Wow! This has to be one of the most interesting threads on this forum! It was so interesting because so many different viewpoints were expressed, and people seem to have a lot of energy around insisting their opinion of the hosts, the format of the show, the decorating style, and the true costs of the renovations are the right opinions. I don't own a TV.

Haven't for several years. I don't miss it a bit. Don`T Sleep (2017) Downloading on this page. So obviously I have not seen this particular show.
Back when I had one, I used to watch This Old House and New Yankee Workshop regularly. I loved them! New Yankee workshop was just for fun; I could never do woodwork like that even if I had 2.
But This Old House was amazing in its practicality. You got to see the actual work being done, how they problem- solved, etc.
I even took notes sometimes, haha! I also like that they basically kept the original architecture of the home in tact. I remember the time two of the guys went on David Letterman and screened a door in under a minute! That was fun! I'm a west coast gal and always have been. I've lived in Washington, Oregon, California, and two years in Tijuana. I also didn't realize how jarring it seems to be to the ears of people not from the region.
I'll try to catch myself on that if I'm talking with non- west- coasters. Looking over on the HGTV website, I can see that the decorating style is not my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean I'd never watch it (if I had a TV and any time to watch it). I enjoy looking at beautiful homes that aren't necessarily in styles I'd put in my own home. I could never live in an all- white kitchen. But I've seen some photos of all- white kitchens over on the kitchen forum that are simply stunning! I saw a super cute kitchen on another web site where the owner had totally remodeled her kitchen to look like a 1. Everything was pink- -even the retro appliances!
I'd never in a million years do that in my kitchen, but it was still super fun to see her pics, and I kinda admire her for being so bold and saying yeah, this is the kitchen I want and I'm going for it! I recently saw before and after pictures of a home completely redecorated by the new owner who is a professional interior designer. I thought the before pictures were much more attractive than the afters! But I still enjoyed seeing how she brought her vision to life. I had my HGTV bubble burst quite a few years ago. I had enjoyed the show .
The homeowners would go through their stuff with a member of the team (sorry, I don't remember the names) and decide what they could let go of. Then those items were put out in the yard and they had a yard sale.
Whatever they got from the yard sale, that's how much money the team had to pretty up and neaten up the house (it was a cleanup and decorate, not a remodel). Always nice reveals. But they once did a kind of .
First, I didn't realize they didn't do the whole house, just a few selected rooms. Second, I didn't realize the homeowners often kept a lot of the items it appeared they had given up. In one scene, behind the scenes, we see this one guy who wouldn't give up his literally over 1. The team had organized them all by hanging them on rolling racks for him.
When they shot the reveal, the rolling racks were moved into the hallway so we the viewers wouldn't see how not uncluttered the place was. I guess I was really naive. I like shows where the how- to gets priority. So, based on the comments here and my perusal of the show's website on HGTV, I suspect if I had a TV I'd watch a few episodes to see the designer's style, and that would probably be enough. Remember, every designer has a particular style; it's rare to find one that can work in multiple themes. If you hire someone to remodel and decorate your house, look at their portfolio. Pick a designer who works mostly in the style you want for your house.
Don't hire someone who specializes in French country cottage if you want New York industrial.
