over many years, I've watched a few home renovation/makeover shows, though it's not a genre I really go looking for. waaay back in the day, the ur show This Old House was interesting, and got me at least vaguely intrigued in the genre, though not an addict. shows I've watched and enjoyed include Trading Spaces, Extreme Makeover and especially Holmes on Homes - I adore his delivery and commonsense approach. as a lifelong apartment dweller, I've not really had the freedom to do as I please in my living spaces, nor the budget, so I can't say they've ever inspired me much personally.

I've never really paid too much attention to house hunting shows, though ~8 years ago stayed with my sister for a while and she loved them, so I've seen some.
