Okay
not really. I actually quite like HGTV, but am I the only one who finds herself
screaming at the Property Brothers like pretty much every episode?
Property
Brothers: “Well if you buy a house that’s $40,000 under budget then you can
spend all of that money on renovations!”
Nope.
You can’t. That’s not how this works. If the bank is so kind to lend you the
money, they certainly won’t be throwing in another $40K to install that steam
shower you’ve always wanted.

And
House Hunters is the worst. Ugh. That show really drives me to drink.
Every
couple on House Hunters: “Well the house is great but sigh. I HATE this paint
color.”
Are
you kidding me? You’re kidding me, right?
Even
more obnoxious House Hunters couple: “Well I don’t like the layout of this room
but that’s okay, we could knock out this wall, move this wall over here…”
No.
No.
No.
No.
NO!

Take
it from an “expert” who’s owned exactly one house (so seriously, what do I
know?), HGTV is full of &%$#.
A
few kernels of wisdom for you.
You
can’t renovate a kitchen in six weeks and you especially can’t renovate a
kitchen, living room, bathroom AND master bedroom in six weeks. That is beyond
ridiculous.
Moving
and removing walls is INCREDIBLY expensive and at times impossible if you
desire a house that actually stands upright.
Oh,
and not everyone wants granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Stop
the madness, HGTV!
