Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with HGTV? Ever since I got hooked on Christopher Lowell's show ages ago and took his advice to hang a sheet on my bedroom wall as decor (don't ask, I have no idea) I've dipped in and out of home and design shows. After swearing off the genre for months I'll find myself watching again. Weeks will go by in a blur of binges, usually around the time we're planning a big change to our own home situation. They both entertain and infuriate me with their formulaic and predictable format: The people want an open concept with all the trimmings and their eye-popping budget isn't enough to get what they want. Renovation hijinks ensue, they go over budget–whoopsie!–and presumably live happily ever after in their home that looks like every other home on every other show.
