What is your favorite HGTV show of all time?

And why? The thread about Christopher Lowell got me thinking. I believe my favorite was Sarah Richardson when she would buy some delapidated old house and make it beautiful. She used a lot of old delapidated looking furniture which had good bones and would refinish it and reupholster it and VIOLA it was gorgeous. I loved her style. Miss her shows. She had a sidekick she worked with who was also a very talented designer.

It's the Mike Holmes "Make It Right" show. At least in the early days prior to his show getting so camara artsy and before he turned it over to his lead construction guy and/or his son. We learned SO MUCH regarding houses, what to look for before buying.... it was invaluable to us when we moved across country. We still watch him but the show (and Mike) has changed quite a bit....

When I read your post, it made me think. First I thought of the show with the designer with Candice. I don't remember the name, but her rooms were absolutely beautiful. Then I thought of "Design on a Dime". She had the most cleaver way of designing rooms on a budget. When we got Dish, probably over 20 years ago they had all these real designers. Now reruns of same old.

Maybe Kitty Bartholomew's show You're Home would be my favorite.

I used to like an HGTV show that would feature a very high-end room. The host would then recreate that room for a markedly lower price tag.

Certainly nothing that's on now or has been on for the past several years. I'd have to search my memory for an absolute favorite, but I did love Sarah's House and wish she'd do another...

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

Kitty Bartholomew's show was my favorite, too. Maybe because I loved her style. So much so, that I bought one of her decorating books, in which she showcases what she did with her own little house. It was so cute and friendly.

There were quite a few shows around that time that I really liked. Not so much now, I find that I rarely watch.

Candace Olson, Divine Design

I still see her show every now & then on one of my obscure DirecTV channels.

She has goooood taste!

Yes, I loved that show.

There would be a makeover room costing $30,000 and a designer would re-create it for about $1,000. Could it be Design on a Dime? Or maybe Decorating Sense?

I also loved Matt & Shari Fox - Room by Room

@tansy

I don't believe it was either of those shows, @software.
