I’ve never been one for adult films—really, I promise! I’ve never splurged on those exclusive adult channels, even during a hotel stay, and my online searching is strictly family-friendly. Why shell out for outdated adult content when you can access a shiny, new (and completely PG!) alternative for free?
Just flip to channel 665 (that’s HGTV in HD on my screen), and you’ll see what I’m talking about. You’ll find yourself immersed in a paradise of stunning soapstone islands, sleek subway tile backsplashes, and charmingly mismatched wood floors in inviting entryways. Not to mention those custom shoe shelves nestled into walk-in closets that put even the most organized of spaces to shame. Seriously, don’t even get me started on those closets! I could go on forever—I’m utterly captivated.
Countless hours vanish late at night as I eagerly tune in to see if that adorable family of three (soon to be four, with a little one on the way!) will choose to Love It or List It. I’m usually team “Love It.” Who wouldn’t be amazed by the transformation of a dreary basement into a state-of-the-art game room, an office, a guest area, and even a full bathroom? I mean, come on!
And let’s not forget my infatuation with the Property Brothers. Their ability to turn a dated 1970s Cape Cod fixer-upper into a dream home for a bright-eyed couple commuting to the city, complete with space for their dogs, an in-home yoga studio, and even a music room—all on a budget that might barely cover a new HVAC system—astounds me. And they do it all in a timeframe that makes my last garage clean-out feel like an eternity!
While I don’t always agree with every design choice made by my favorite HGTV stars, I still find myself hopelessly enamored with their work. Media rooms, expansive garages, and custom fire pits might not be my cup of tea, but I definitely understand that they might spark joy for someone else.
I know I’m not alone in this obsession. A recent girls’ night out with my college pals turned into an extensive chat about our latest late-night viewing habits. Some friends even introduced me to new delights like Rehab Addict and Fixer Upper. Have you seen how the Addict can revamp a fireplace? That’s borderline illegal in terms of transformation!
Sure, there are probably more productive ways to spend my time, but there are worse things out there, right? So for now, I’ll keep indulging in my HGTV binge until House Hunters finds that perfect bungalow, ideally one close to the beach and the park, all while fitting snugly under budget, of course. Sounds good to me!
