I really love to watch HGTV, but I still have to vent. When they do those shows like "Designed to Sell" and "Decorating On A Dime," they talk about doing all this decorating on a budget. Only $2,000 to get this house to the point where it sells for 20 percent over the asking price! Only $1,000 to totally recreate the look of this room.
Well, what they fail to say is that the labor is free. They have expert decorators, expert carpenters, an expert seamstress . . .sure, if I could do all that stuff, my home would like like that, and on a budget, too!
I'm not really knocking the shows. They're fun to watch, and you can still get fabulous decorating ideas. But I wish that every now and then they would mention how expensive labor is. Some of their ideas are not very realistic if you're trying to do it on the cheap.
