first off, i like to say that i like the KC. both to look at and the show itself. i really don't care about the layout, i just like to get ideas for things such as color and materials and to see the finished product. although we are done with our kitchen, i still can't help looking at kitchens...hehe i am not a fan of the colored cabinets, but i do like the italian wood cabinets they install. they did an episode where they redid their mother's kitchen and installed a stencil on the wall and i loved it. i am going to do that in my bathroom. i agree with above poster that they do introduce new ideas. you might not like them, but they are interesting and its nice to see something different. also agree that most are definitely staged. my god who would agree when someone says we are going to "surprise" you. you just have to take it with a grain of salt. it is tv after all. i like when they sit to eat with their family, i think it brings a different aspect to the show and i don't know any other show that does that. i think its nice that they consult with their parents, to me its shows respect and in today's world thats really something to appreciate. i don't agree with everything that they do, but i like their personalities and they way the show is presented. they keep me watching. property brothers: def staged, but it wuould take forever if they showed every aspect. and who really cares, you just want to see the end result anyway. HH, my escape/my source of travel. not going anywhere soon, so i can dream at least!!! knock places off our list or add ones. cold where we live so right now would love to live in Belize..lol! don't really care about the places they buy, just love looking at the landscape... i just veg in front of the tv and if i don't like what on hgtv, can always change to the other 500 channels....

Hi,basically If you love arts and you are creative, I am sure you will be very inclined to be a good photographer. Photography can teach us to be creative in many ways. I think, we can be a good photographers even we are just using an ordinary camera or our camera phones. I guess, we just need to have passion in what we are doing and that is where we unleashed our creativity towards the images we capture and any object will probably drives a photographer easily.

I have two dream homes. One is on my family's lake property, which is small, is on the south side of the lake, and is on Minnesota, so severe winter is an issue. There, I want low maintenance, energy and space efficient, good cross ventilation. An open floor plan with informal dining. A screen porch with a sun deck above. Main floor bedroom and laundry. Probably floor heat under Marmoleum in the living space, to accommodate wet, sandy kids coming out of the lake. It needs to be two-story, because of the small lot size. The lot is level, and I don't want steps; the basement will be storage and storm shelter, but not living space (no windows to speak of). Upstairs, I want bedrooms for guests, and an open area overlooking the deck for a game table - my family loves board games and jigsaw puzzles. My other dream home is in the woods somewhere, more of a cozy cabin - though not log. I love the look, hate the maintenance!

I have to a schedule and I know what you mean!! Big cleaning like glass tv and windows whatever once a week. Coffee table wipe when needed and areas you use daily. Living area daily or if you are just two adult you can do it twice a week even. Bedroom tidying each day like making the bed etc. big clean once a week. I leave last two days before weekends with light tidying only- gives me time to do other stuff. Other rooms not being used once a week and if being used, quick tidy daily and once a week good clean depending. Assign a room for each day ( for once a week clean) Laundry, I never mix laundry with other members clothing so assign a day for each and iron the previous lot . Put in closets immediately so no piling of laundry. I assign two less days of the week for given appointments etc so I don’t have a heavy load that day- I arrange these Appts to be given on specific days where possible and if not I just swop the schedule around for that week. If you can’t get a major task done , don’t worry about it just tidy up and get it done when you can, Outdoor or patio sweeping are usually kept for afternoon time. Try to get most housework done in the morning then you don’t have those chores in afternoon to do.
