This week's TV Tuesday meme responses:
Week 28 - Home Shows
"We've been doing a lot of redecorating around our home lately and checking out some of the home decorating shows, I'd never really watched them before but have found a few kind of interesting so this week Home shows are in the spotlight!"
1. Do you watch home shows regularly? If so, which ones?
A. As a professional interior designer, I've watched a lot of DIY, renovation, home improvement, and decorating shows over the last several years. As for watching any regularly, not really. The only ones that are viewed more often than others are This Old House, Design On A Dime, Designer's Challenge, Country Style, Homes Across America, Restore America, Curb Appeal, and Surprised By Design.
2. Have you ever followed a tip that you learned from a home show or TV?
A. Of course. You always have to be open to new ideas, and willing to incorporate others' expertise into your own projects.
3. What is the best (worst,stupidest,coolest...) thing you've ever seen on a home show?
A. The stupidest thing had to be on a Trading Spaces show - and, NO!, I don't watch that show (I find it totally obscene!), but actually read about the show in a news article that was describing this "decorating detail" as it was part of a lawsuit. They had plastered straw from hay-bales all over a woman's wall, and her son had severe allergies, and she had been very specific about what she didn't want in the space. She actually won the lawsuit.
~Bonus~ If your home had it's own show what would it be called? Why?
A. Constant Changes. My house is my "testing-ground" for new colors, projects, and designs.
