I could be wrong, but it sounds like something you would see on TLC with some business stuff thrown in. The kids are cute, but I don't want to watch a show about them; if I want to see that sort of thing I'll watch something like OutDaughtered, you know?

BotB - another week of messy ass workmanship. Grout everywhere, bad wallpaper seams, sloppy paint. At least the right team won this week (IMO), but could Alison not help her team out the slightest bit and maybe put the doorknobs on? I see other mentors helping out with small things... I really liked the blue tile in Team Ty's shower, but a big NO to all that terracotta tile on the floor they love so much. Didn't like the checkerboard tile in the bedroom, nor the grungy recycled headboard. Alison's team had good ideas and colors, but just didn't get it done.

Farmhouse Fixer: Still cannot believe the prices they charge. Tonight's episode is a primary bedroom and bathroom and they are charging $50,000 to $80,000 and it's not that big.
HGTV has been pushing Farmhouse Fixer Camp Renovation now for a couple of weeks. Tonight's episode is where Jon decides what property he is going to buy. Well, the cat is out of the bag 2 months ago as we all know it is the camp grounds. Very dumb around.
Maine Cabin Masters is doing a similar thing on Magnolia. The last 6 episodes of season 10 are a waste of time as they are just complications from various episodes. Maine Cabin Masters is going to Italy and renovating a house for Chase, shades of "From Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano", which Jenny and Hubby Mars just finished a farmhouse renovation in Tuscany.

It doesn't appear Allison's house in Chicago has sold yet. It will take a "special person" to purchase it. For me, it is way too large. I love a more contemporary look, but so many of these homes are looking alike. Everything in her house I have seen done many many times, and not only by her. The black and white floor isn't my thing, but that atrium-like room too just seems like a waste of space. More and more, I am being drawn in to homes that aren't quite so large. I would rather have a much much smaller space done extremely well.

Reminds me of the good old days of Windy City Rehab season 1 and 2 when Alison felt clients should be throwing money at her for her elevated designs.

I don't think they like anyone telling them what to do. I don't think they are asking for her help. I don't think they want her help.
Bathroom cut up cubicle. Bedroom unfinished.
Taniya's Team seemed to be the most cohesive and almost finished.
Ty's Team - HATE their design esthetic. HATE their tile choices. Let's leave a wall up in front of a door do I can run into it.
Does this season come across as a total mess? Those homes would need a total redo to make them sellable.
Are these couples not skilled enough? Are the time constraints ridiculous? Are the homes too big for the amount of work needed?
This show sucks.

You hit it right on the head. Regardless of how people might feel about The Twins, Evan and Keith, Page and Mitch, Michel and Anthony, etc regarding some of the more questionable design choices they might make there's no denying there's a certain amount of skill and experience involved in what they do. I'm going to be kind here and say these people are very... fresh and it shows in their design decisions and workmanship; it's the difference in seeing a second year fashion design students work and something like a Gianni Versace collection. These people are super green, and it doesn't make for a good show.

But they had a very old farmhouse they renovated and they did it right and it took them a year or so to do it. They had a lot of skilled tradesmen helping. This is why the husband cringes at the timelines that are given wondering if the job will be done correctly.

Maine Cabin Builders: Italiano - episode 1 - June 17, 2024 - Magnolia Network
This was fun Chase and wife want to buy a house in Italy and renovate it between Dec thru Mar (their winter season - slow season) and be back on April 1st to start Cabin Fixing Season. To be honest I really, really wanted to laugh because building with stick frame is very different than building with stone and plaster. The building codes are different, the electric is different, another language etc...
I watch a lot of YouTube channels selling Italian real estate and have seen the many ruins and town homes. I just didn't see them getting a home the right size.
They toured 3 homes in Umbria and 3 homes in the Abruzzo and Molise areas. Some of the homes were more move in than others. I was surprised when they found a 5 bedroom home.
This was the fun part. The Balcony House was being sold by 2 brothers on a 7.5 acre lot. However there were 22 owners and the realtor had to track them all down.

BotB - this is such an unserious show. It's like HGTV comedy hour. Team Ty - they're really leaning into that dark country club vibe. On a North Carolina beach house. They should have competed on the mountain cabin show. Team Taniya - hated that they closed off the two windows that gave a pretty view of the coastline. The tabby fireplace was at least beachy, but they left a bunch of sharp edges. And those cabinet hinges on the hidden door are going to sag with all that weight. Team Alison - the...winner? The fireplace was nice, but they had no coffee table and the dining table for Alison's precious banquette was so big you'd have to shimmy around it to get to the seating that totally covered up the only two floor vents in the room. How was that even allowed? The future occupants will really enjoy having no ac in that entire room. Total clown show.

I'm not even continuing with watching it because everything you guys have been describing sounds like pure horror show. I'll stick with Who's Afraid of A Cheap Old House because it's fun, educational, and the contractors, Ethan and Elizabeth, and designers Jennifer and Scott know what the hell they're doing.

They did show a map and that over the years segments of the land have been divided, some into really weird shapes. Much of it looks like vegetable allotments.
After watching Fixer to Fabulous Italiano and watching YouTube All About Annette (Italian Real Estate) there is a lot of behind the scenes that had to happen. This should be fun. Getting supplies and following different building codes, dealing with the locals, all very different.

I mean, it takes special talent to cover up two beautiful beach-view windows with a fireplace. In the south. I've stayed in many beach rentals, never once have I wanted a fireplace. Mountains? Sure, bring it on. These people are just extra special this season. I need to see if that Who's Afraid of A Cheap Old House is on Max and binge that for some decent renos, apparently.

I can understand a firepit maybe as it can be cold in the early spring summer evening depending if you are in Maine vs North Carolina. I totally get outdoor grill, but an indoor fireplace in a beach house in the Carolinas?

Farmhouse Fixer - Camp Revamp - Season 1 Episode 1 - June 18, 2024 A 12 acre lake front property in southern New Hampshire with a 1800 sq ft main house and 10 cabins with two shower communal shower blocks.
I was surprised to see that this was a 4 episode series and that it only covered the renovation of 3 of the cabins. I did find it strange that Jon said he wanted the place ready to rent for June. On a property like this they are not doing renovations one by one on 10 cabins. If you have a team in to level one cabin you do it to all the cabins at the same time. If you are doing plumping or electrical you are updating the entire property not one unit at a time.
Also you get a structural engineer in there and inspect the entire place. You get an architect and draw plans for all the properties, you don't draw a floor plan on a piece of paper and not to scale and give it to your project manager, you are not ordering supplies just for one cabin you order cabinets for all the cabins at the same time. The way these shows are filmed is very misleading to the viewer.
Jon wants the first cabin to be purple? What's the theme for the property?
OK the first cabin is finished. It is much nicer than I thought it would be. I immediately know that I cannot afford the rental. Jon was going for a hotel vibe and had budgeted $100,000 per cabin and instead had spent $120,000. This is my pet peeve with renovations show like this and Vacation House Rules that after the renovation the rental is $400, $500, $700 a night. Maybe if you divide that between 2 or 3 families or 2 or 3 couples but for everyone else it is out of our price range.
Another pet peeve is the location of the only bathroom. You have to go through the master/primary bedroom to access it. Gets awkward at night. The master/primary bedroom had two doors put on barn door sliders and have clear glass in them who you can see right into the bedroom. Hope no one sleeps naked.
Originally this was a two bedroom cabin with the bedrooms located at the back of the cabin and with a bump out that was the bathroom that both bedrooms could access thru a door. The current cabin has a loft with a bedroom and a railing. Great another bedroom with no privacy.
The cabin feels very spacious because they vaulted the ceiling, but the kitchen seems ridiculously small, but it has a nice fireplace. This is a 4 season cabin in New Hampshire and folks will rent during the fall and winter so it makes sense to have a working fireplace. Well, they made it a four season cabin which was a smart decision else it would only be available for rent form June thru Labor Day.

I just realized they are filming on Oak Island and I had been there. My rental did not have a fireplace.
I can't believe all three teams think adding a fireplace to a beach rental on Oak Island NC is an upgrade. It is so dumb. No one is staying indoors to enjoy a fireplace in the middle of summer in North Carolina. In the evening you are walking around town, having late dinner, doing other activities not sitting in front of a fireplace in 80 to 90 degree heat and lots and lots of humility.
I do agree a fireplace in a lake rental up north or in the mountains makes sense but not on the beach.

I agree; there's a lot of lake rentals in IL/IN/MI in areas where there's a lot of fall/winter activities, so having a fireplace there makes a lot of sense for heat as well as ~ambiance~ (who wouldn't like to cozy up to a nice fire after hayriding/apple picking/snowboarding/other assorted winter festivities?) I've never been to NC but I'm going to take Bearcata's word that it's not a good idea.
ETA: Wait, it's beach property? NOPE.

NOPE.On Jon Knight's Farmhouse Fixer: Camp Revamp the property is located in southern New Hampshire. I watch Maine Cabin Masters and they renovate family cabins on very tight budgets. You don't see that many 3 season or 4 season properties, many of these "camps" are old hunting cabins with no power, no water, and bathrooms. Over the years many of these cabins expand from summer to fall use and if there is ice fishing or snowmobile trails they become 4 season cabins. Fireplaces inside and out make sense to cope with all four seasons and to do cooking outside during the summer months.
The whole point of a beach cabin is to enjoy a hot environment and to cool off when done. A fireplace does not scream Cool Off.

Zillow Gone Wild: Another week, another collection of the strange and unusual. I'll be covering 2 weeks here as I didn't post last week's episode.
6/14 episode:
Santa Barbara, CA This 2600 sq ft house is called "The Whale House" and is is a stylistic interpretation of a sperm whale's anatomy. Made of natural elements like river rock, wood, and beautiful plaster work both inside and out, it's very hard to describe except to say it's beautiful and has to be seen to be believed. The primary bedroom has a spa inside and a balcony to outside that gives the feel of being in a treehouse. The whole house just blends in with the local flora and natural surroundings beautifully, and has an organic feel that is very much like a giant hobbit house.
Omaha, NE There's industrial and then there's...this. Everything is metal, glass, stone, and shiny to the point that it's extremely sterile. The new owners bought this property to be a short-term rental, which tells you everything you need to know about them. While definitely unique, it's not exactly a "warm" property.
Las Vegas, NV This is industrial done right. Resembling a cluster of cubes from the outside, it's a lovely warm home on the inside. The owner designed and built it from the ground up and wanted the inside to resemble a comic book panel, so there's a lot of color and wood touches to counteract the steel, concrete, and brick inside. Every aspect of this house had a lot of thought behind it, and includes a large game room in the loft on the top floor.
This week's semifinalist: The Whale House.
6/21 episode:
Las Vegas, NV An Italian villa in the outskirts of Las Vegas? I guess so! The "villa" is a compound consisting of 3 guest houses, a standalone garage, and the main structure near a lake and surrounded by mountains. The main structure has one bedroom in around 4k of space, and has handpainted frescoes on the walls and doors from Tuscany. The kitchen has beams, a terracotta floor, and a wooden island that was shipped in from Denmark. This is a space with loads of Old World charm.
Bellevue, NE This is a bizarre midcentury home that was designed in 1971 as a "home of the future" that is known as the "Flying Nun" house to locals because of the roof design. The house is huge inside and very "Atomic Age" with curved wood walls, a central control panel, a huge fireplace in the Great Room, lots of carpet. It was recently purchased by a couple who loves M?CM and can't wait to remodel as the home has great bones.
Destin, FL This penthouse is a blast from the past. Built in 1983, it has all the bells and whistles of that time period...and hasn't been updated since. Lots of mirrors everywhere, with a giant chandelier. The master bedroom is also filled with mirrors and lots of lucite and a disco ball, while the huge guest bedroom has a marble tub and mirrors on the ceiling. Pluses include a huge kitchen and a beautiful ocean view from most of the rooms. The whole place comes fully furnished and looks like a swinger's paradise.
Semifinalist of the week: 80s Paradise.

Maine Cabin Builders: Building Italy - episode 2 - Demolition and a New Italian Bathroom - June 24, 2024 - Magnolia Network Big difference building wood cabins vs stone houses and the tools needed. The language barrier is huge. Matteo is the sound engineer and is telling them the proper words.
They are using a local architect and local general contractor. All the electrical and plumbing needs to be redone and it needs to be set in the stone and brick walls.
I am not a fan of the color palette used in the kids bathroom or a fan of the tile chosen. It turned out much better than I thought it would. The septic was fun. The house was updated/renovated in the 1960's. No septic tank was used. There was a pipe from the kitchen sink that popped up down the hill and Chase found it. It was not connected to the bathroom. There was another pipe connected to the bathroom toilet and it was another pipe that popped out further down the hill out in the open. Current building codes require a septic tank be put in. Nice scene with Chase, his wife, his sister, and Ryan attempting to harvest the olive crop.

Beach Battle Disaster continues with the Guest Suite.
Hate the white and Terra Cotta tiles on the floor of the guest suite. The girls installed another fireplace because a beach cottage in the middle of a hot east coast summer needs a fireplace. It was put on the wall opposite the bed and so low you couldn't see it. Just Ugly. While I didn't like the color blush tile used the bathroom was the most finished room but they had to put in a urinal.
Allison's Team - this team does not like to listen to Allison. So much unfinished, so much not thought out, so much that needs to be redone for the final.
The cute wife and husband - Bathroom impressed, there craftsmanship impressed, their design impressed, if they had another day it would have been done better. Did like that Sarah and Bryan pointed out they didn't need a tree in the bathroom they could have put in a longer vanity. That is correct.
Guess what team won? It was pretty obvious it was Team Taniya.

Like I said before, I had no interest in watching the Marrs design something in Italy; I really don't have any interest in watching the Maine Cabin Building designing anything in Italy either. Makes no sense (yet again), except the producers are getting desperate.
Anyone watch "Downhome Fab" with Cole and Chelsea? They seem like a nice couple, but yet again, we have a designer that is 1-note. Just like Allison of the Windy City, every project ends up in black, white and gold, with a little blonde wood thrown in . Black it is ok in some cases, but if you have high dust in your area, it is something that will constantly show it, regardless if it is on the wall, floor or counter. Gold fixtures, and gold inside of hanging lamps; we have seen that over and over, and of course it is in their own homes. Chelsea has added an archway in so many of her projects, most of which does not go with the architectural style of the home inside or out. Regardless, both of these designers need to expand a bit; surprise us please!
So far with all these shows, I like Hillary Farr because I have seen her do all kinds of styles. And surprisingly, Erin Napier, and I didn't expect it from her. Although Southern Traditional is her preferred style, and what most of her clients request, she has had to do a few contemporary and even a mid-mod a few times, and has always pulled it off. I love it when I am surprised by both of these designers!

My favorite designer is Erin Napier. The only thing with her that I don't like is her usage of green. I don't like green. I like the Marr's but I think they are good for their area which is traditional. Also they only live 2 hours away from which almost makes the hometown people. Downhome Fab I can take it or leave it. Hillary Farr gets on my nerves, but with that being said she is a good designer. Allison I refuse to watch. She is plain arrogant.

I haven't really loved an HGTV designer since Candice Olson. Such beautiful, classy rooms.
Erin does good work, as did MJ on Good Bones. And I know people love to rip on Joanna Gaines, but as long as the shiplap didn't overtake a room, her vibe was earthy, pretty and cozy. At least until the black and white farmhouse stuff took over HGTVland.

Battle on the Beach - just when you thought it couldn't get worse, Team Ty installs a urinal right next to a perfectly good toilet. And what was that cubby above it - a beer holder? Just...no. And again with the terracotta tile that doesn't belong in that house. The cherry on this turd sundae was the electric fireplace (another one!) at the foot of the bed, too low to be seen, with the cord hanging on the floor. I don't know what style this mess is, but I don't like it. Team Alison - slapped a roll of reed fencing on the wall behind the bed and didn't bother to finish the edges with anything. They partially covered the outlet, too. They just can't seem to get anything finished. The tags hanging out on the bedding made me laugh, so sloppy. I did like the blue hex tile they used in the shower. Team Taniya - very nice job on the shower tile, too bad their built-ins weren't quite up to par. Pretty colors, light and airy like a beach house should be.
