Great idea, good luck designers….
I am very much upset that some of the shows are not on HGTV anymore such as Simply Quilts, Design on a Dime for under $500 etc. and Designing for the Sexes with michael. What HGTV offers now is way too much on young people having to have granite and stainless steel app etc. Let's go back to reality and what most of us can afford.
It would really be nice to see the room sizes for the decorated rooms. I love some of the ideas but in the end thy won't work for my small space. Thanks. I do love your shows, I also would like more on what a normal person can afford.
Very much miss some of the old shows. Everything seems like the same show and no new decorating ideas. Miss Candice! Miss Sabrina! Need new ideas and to walk through process. Less of couples not agreeing and drama. Silly when you watch……. I don't watch much anymore.
[...] the past few days, the HGTV online team, contributors, Design Happens bloggers and special guests have shared their [...]
Totally agree. Hate LOVE IT OR LIST IT-the homeowners are rude whiners and the shows stars are just as bad. Property brothers do remodeling for ridiculous budgets and never seem to help the whole house. House Hunter International is just not something I can relate to in my daily life. Bring back decorating shows, flea market fines and repurposing etc. You've lost me as a viewer!
oops, flea market finds
Agree 100% with above posts…cannot relate to a lot of the newer shows, they aren't real life situations….need more programs that deal with everyday normal people and not those with million dollar homes who have unlimited budgets to work with….not avid viewer of HGTV any more for these reasons!!
I have to agree with these posts! HGTV has almost lost me too. I used to watch them all day, now… Please what does house hunters have to do with me???
I want to see shows with a real budget, I want them to show me how to get the look,and how to do it myself. Bring back the flea market finds and the
repurposing. Show how the real people live instead of the millionaires who are not sitting at home trying to watch your shows!!!
Boy do I agree. I used to keep it on all the time because of the great ideas. Then somebody got the great notion to make the shows like soaps, and there went the basic hgtv we had all come to know and look to for ideas we could trust.
wow, I agree but still like love it or list it, but miss the quilt show, I also would like to see more rooms done over that are the sizes most of us have in our homes. Anyone can do wonders when the rooms are huge?? I have a medium size kitchen that will be re-done in the future, would like to see ideas.
Another agreement with all above. Loved Candice, Sarah's Home, Design Inc. Dear Genevieve. I'm in the profession but love seeing what others r doing. Don't care about House Hunters , Property Brothers ok but agree w other post , not realistic ( I do reno's) . Love ur blog and site. But please give us some good shows again!
I agree! I think they should rename the network real estate tv. It used to be so fun to watch and get ideas. There were shows that ranged in budget so anyone could be inspired but now hardly any design and the shows they do have seem like the same ones on DIY. Every episode looks the same!
I do like these too ad these are all my favorites.. I am actually looking forward for the year 2013 now. benefits of weight training for women

So happy to hear others' comments reflect my own thinking. HGTV used to be my favorite station. The first one I would go to when I turned on the TV. Now it seems there are mostly ridiculously staged programs about buying or selling homes. Decorating shows are the reason I tuned in. I love Sarah, Candice, Sabrina, David, etc I need everyday ideas. Sensibly Chic, the High Low projects, Design on a Dime, these programs show how to get designer looks on a reasonable budget. I also like programs about finding & re-purposing old furniture items. I hardly watch your station anymore.
Please bring back the good shows.
Bring back more gardening shows!!! I think you can get ideas from all the major work shown on your shows and try to duplicate them at your cost scale.
Found this post by accident, but agree with much of it. Funny, but I to this day wonder what happened to MY FAVORITE HGTV show ever was the one where the red head did rooms for $500 and they were amazing, Penny Wise (?) or something like that. And I know it can still be done because I entertain and decorate like that on extreme budget. I did our mountain house, 3 floors, EVERYTHING, from furniture, mattresses, TVs, kitchen set up, accessories…EVERYTHING…for less than $9,300. and people love it.
