coza_usa I have recently become addicted to this show. It is a good escape from the crap that permeates on network television. It is entertaining and educational for people who are interested in learning about carpentry and interior design. I don't like the renovations of all the designers but that's OK. My only criticism is that the participants are not offered enough input into the new design of a room. They pretty much become slaves to the designers especially in the case of Douglas Wilson and Hilda Santo-Tomas.Hilda may overall be a nice person, but one time she made a very obnoxious comment to the good-natured and talented carpenter Amy Wynn. As a joke, Hilda condescendingly offered money from her budget to pay for Amy Wynn to take an electrician course since she did not know how to move electical outlets. I THINK YOU DO GREAT WORK, AMYEnough of the gossip, anyway. If you are lucky enough to have cable, watch this show on TLC.

galfriday This is one of my family's 'guilty pleasures'. Featuring no known stars, you basically get to watch other people re-design rooms, and although it soundsbanal, trust me, it's AMAZING. I've watched this from the very beginning, through several different 'hosts', and it never fails to amuse.I can't really comment on the acting or anything else, as it's a documentary of sorts, but I will say that some of the families put on some very brave faces for the camera. The rooms do NOT always come out great, in fact I'd have to say that a lot of them stretch the boundaries of good taste, but that happens to be what I love in a reality television show!I'd give this a 7 out of 10, and look forward to the distant future when they show 'nostalgic' shows of how we lived at the begining of the century!

jennp7 This show is great. I love it. You can learn alot about redecorating and best of all they show you how to do it with a limited budget. All the rooms look like a million bucks when they are finished. Everyday people working with the designers and the carpenters. Best friends or family members getting together to redecorate a room in each others house in only 2 days bringing out their creative skills and finding ones they did not even know they had. I think that this is real reality T.V.

Janet_1972 I started watching this how while my husband was away on sea duty (Navy) 6 months ago, and I have to say I have become a TS addict:}When my husband returned he started watching with me and now neither of us miss an episode. (We even like the reruns;)Even our 4 yr old loves this show! This is a very helpful, informative show, with tons of unique, AND inexpensive ideas that can be accomplished in your own home.Even though I would NEVER attempt some the ideas the designers have, it is still cool to see where they get their "inspiration", and to see how they accomplish the designs in only 2 days and ONLY $1000!And I would just like to say that it is nice to be able to sit down with our child and watch an enjoyable show that doesn't resort to nudity and violence to get viewers attention. AND, it is great to be able to watch a home improvement show that is helpful and somewhat educational without being bored to tears.
