TV Tuesday: Home's Not Just For the Holidays

Have you ever watched decorating or real estate shows? Do you ever get ideas for decorating your own home from TV shows (whether or not they are specifically about decorating?)

I agree. I have a brother who is into DIY renovations on his house (I rent an apartment), and the expense, time commitment, and difficulty is enormous. Also the type of supplies involved. I work with construction and engineering/architectural design contracts - so know a lot about construction and design - and these shows aren't realistic. I can tell they've been creative with the film editing. I mean - there is no way that you can renovate a house in two days, and re-landscape their yard. Particularly when it rained that weekend. I watched one that tried to convince the audience that they were able to do that - but the audience wasn't buying it. It takes time.
