I've always liked Candice Olson, so yes, I really like Divine Design. I remember when she was on a local TV station, here in Toronto, and I discovered her and liked her, back then.
My one compliant with her show is the silliness at the end of each segment. I wish they would stop clowning around (I don't find it cute at all) and use that minute to fill with some useful information, such as "more or less" or colour theory or a "must have item" or anything but the nonsensical stuff they do now.
Ii think what I'm saying is that I like the show enough to not want any of my time wasted. I want Candice to teach me something.
It is part of her "shtick" but she never used to be like that. Sorry if I brought something to your attention that you hadn't thought about before. I just find that part of her show so silly. Other than that, I really like her.I think it's part of her "shtick". Next time I watch it though, it will probably bother me b/c now my attention has been brought to it.
I love HGTV too! I love House Hunters (even though I'm a homeowner), Curb Appeal and My House is Worth What? Designed to Sell is great too as is Hidden Potential. Amazing creativity! Although tPF drains my wallet (hehehe) I do have do forge ahead with home improvement projects so HGTV inspires me.
I love Devine Design. I really don't enjoy Decorating Cents and Mission Organization, but HGTV seem to fill the entire weekend line-up with these two shows. Most of the "decorating" in Decorating Cents make me cringe.
Isn't House Hunters great? I love the little mystery of "which one will they choose" and I really like the ending where they show what the homeowners have done since moving in.
I try and watch the House Hunters when it visits other countries too.
My DH was actually on Curb Appeal a few times! He owns a stone company and they came to his business and interviewed him. He showed the rock selection process and talked about patio stones. It was great fun for him!
