I highly suspect that this is the way that HGTV choses & names it’s shows.
1. First they think of a cool title & then create a show around it. Even if the title is stupid. Even if the show shouldn’t be on TV. Case in point: Blog Cabin. Yes there is a show where they build a log cabin based on designs from a blog. I’m sure this idea was hatched because someone in the break room said “Log cabin? Isn’t that like a blog cabin?” It wasn’t funny then, & it isn’t funny now.
2. HGTV they love their puns. I’m sure that they do so many complete kitchen remodels just so they can say “We got rid of everything & the kitchen sink.”
3. Most of the rooms lately seem to be painted green just so they can joke about being environmentally friendly.
I love HGTV but I liked it a lot better before they got all punny.
I was just browsing through craigslist & I saw an awesome cherry coffee table for $20. It would easily retail for a few hundred dollars in a furniture store. However, I didn’t buy it, which is unlike me.
I like a coffee table that I can put my feet on. Judging from the low price, so do other people. It seemed like when I was a kid everyone had a glass coffee table. I hated it because I was a kid & couldn’t touch anything. Really, a glass coffee table just seems to take up space. Yes, you can put drinks on it, but that’s about it. Plus, you have to clean the glass & what is the fun in that.
For some reason Labor Day always makes me have home improvement guilt. I just feel like I should actually be doing work around the house. I know that’s not what the holiday means. However, It’s just a three day weekend where i could get a lot of things done. Instead, I’ve made a compromise. I’m just sitting around watching HGTV all day. Watching people work is almost as good as actually working.
