If you have watcehd the Divide Design by Candice Olson on HGTV, then you would agree with me that Candice Olson's design is nothing short of divine.
Yes, because her designs are on the high-end. It is not one of those programs that has to work on a budget. It is a design that go-as-you-please kind of thing and the sky is the limit. I watch programs like Designed to Sell, Spice Up My Kitchen, Design on a Dime, among other HGTV shows and the budget always comes forth before anything else. Budget is not discussed in Divine Design (not on my program, baby).
But budget aside, I'm really amazed at the transformation of the place after Olson tackles it. A small dark basement turned into an oasis and a dingy kitchen turned into a housewife's dream. I'm trying to design my living room space and I'm trying to think what would Candice Olson do if she has to do it? Yes, I want to think like her because she really is good at what she does. And if I can make my place look heavenly or divine, the money will be well worth it.

HGTV Kitchen and Bath 2008
Really, the focus of the country today is to be environmentally efficient. Terms like green, save the planet Earth, ecologically friendly, and less energy are in.
HGTV premiered the kitchen and bath 2008, showcasing all the latest cool innovation with all the green elements one can and cannot think of. I mean they are all so modern, functional, and beautiful, with all the unexpected twists. To top it all they are all electric efficient though not price efficient. Most of the equipments and gadgets come with a hefty price tag. Yes, green is not cheap. They are mostly pricey and if you don't have the budget, you cannot have any of them.
One of the materials that is always utilized is bamboo. Yes, it is not just used for flooring but used for countertops, sinks, and walls as well. Bamboo is a fast renewable resource. It grows fast and abundantly.
It's good to know what are the latest inventions in the market. Even if I cannot afford them, I like to look. It makes me updated with the current trend.

My House Is Worth What?
This show on HGTV is hosted by Kendra. I think she is the third season winner of The Apprentice. She looks very polished and professional. She is fit to host the show.
I like watching My House Is Worth What? because it gives me ideas on home improvement. Whatever knowledge I gain there I can absolutely apply in my house projects. It's really good because it gives insights on how to make the most out of your house as an investment.
The houses they feature are really nice. Some are even worth more than a million. Really pricey but also really nice.

My First Home
In one of the episodes of My First Home, a bachelor is looking for a condominium unit in Chicago. He was choosy and picky and because of that, he really worked his real estate agent. Luckily, he found what he like after looking at 67 condos.
This time, he didn't need any convincing from his agent. He was the one who talked himself out of it. It was a one-bedroom unit with upscale kitchen and a security guard and costs $299,000.00.
Well, buying a home is like buying a shirt. You know what you want and even though it may not be tailored fit to your specification, you know what it should look like and feel like. Once you see it, it's it.
