Decorating Princess

Turn your home into a castle on a budget

What’s not to like about the new show on HGTV “Junk Brothers”? Two brothers find junk that has been thrown to the curb, fix it up & then return it to the family that threw it away. Well, I’ll tell you what’s not to like:

1. Not at all practical. These are projects that you need a full metal shop, wood shop, & a mad scientist brain for. The average person would lose a limb trying to replicate this.
2. The hosts remind me of watching “Strange Brew”. Something you only need to see once in a lifetime.
3. No Budget. In most cases it would just be cheaper & easier to buy a pool table instead if trying to turn a dining room table into one.
4. The people don’t seem at all surprised when their stuff is brought back to them. Apparently a bike being turned into a ceiling fan & hung in a tree is an everyday occurrence. Plus, it doesn’t seem like these people really need or want their junk back.

Honestly, I watched most of this show on mute.  It can go away & I wouldn’t miss it. What are your thoughts on this show? Leave a comment & let me know.

    This is a great show!!! Original ideas, works of art and Jim Kelley is a hot host!!! Their constant complimenting of each other can be a bit annoying at times but mind you the show is scripted by writers. It’s an original concept, it’s Canadian and it’s well worth watching!!!
