Probably my favorite decorating show is called House Hunters. My second favorite show would be any of the bevy of ones on HGTV that focus more on first time home buyers. I love to watch the home buyers having to face reality especially if they’ve never done it before. The secret to still getting a home that you’re happy with is to get a good realtor who can just walk you through the entire process.
Even though buying a home is a dream of mine I still don’t know a ton about it which is why I’m going to really research my realtor a lot when I get to that point. I love looking through the Calgary listings MLS Property Search and just getting to know about all of the different properties available and what houses cost in different price ranges. On this site you can even save your searches. His story about becoming a Calgary Realtor is really inspiring as he explains how to he wanted to devote all of his time to this instead of just having it as a part time job. This is readily apparent by the many contact options he has from Facebook to Twitter to email so you can learn a lot more about him. When buying a home so often you focus so much on the house. Get a qualified realtor to walk you through the rest of the process.

Please make a roku channel. It could even be a subscription option that I’d pay extra for. I have cable but I live in an area that’s so remote that HGTV isn’t even an option for me. The future is internet streaming and I’d like a future with you.

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.

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.

I miss the days when the HGTV show Design Remix was on everyday. I can still find reruns & new episodes on early in the morning or on Saturdays. The premise is that the design show comes in & just reuses everything hiding in closets or the garage to redo a room. They have a $50 budget & some paint. The results are fantastic.
There has been some controversy on whether this show “stocks” the garages beforehand. People always seem to have gorgeous bolts of silk fabric even though they don’t sew. However, I was just watching an episode where Karen couldn’t find a lot of materials so she had to go over budget. I guess that means that Design Remix is real.
