Thanks for the update. I cannot understand why HGTV hides Sarah R on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. They should be showcasing her instead of those dull House Hunter shows.

Thanks Chijim!

I'll have to set my DVR for this show because I don't watch HGTV too much anymore. Like ratherbesewing said, it seems like a marathon showing of House Hunters anymore.

Thank you! I will definitely Tivo these. You inspired me to wander over to HGTV and check out their offerings. I also found this one, which might be interesting (at least it's Canadian, so there shouldn't be so much focus on beefy carpenters with accents and shoestring budgets). It starts on Monday 07/11 at 7AM(!) Eastern.

The Decorating Adventures of Ambrose Price:

"Ambrose Price is a vibrant, enthusiastic designer from Fortune Nfld; population 2000. His dream is to make it in the "big city" and become Canada�s Martha Stewart. Ambrose is coming to Toronto to work as a temp and learn from the biggest and best in the design industry. In every episode, Ambrose will face a different (and somewhat daunting) decorating challenge. Of course, getting to the top is going to take a lot of hard work and training.
Will he accomplish all of his decorating dreams? Playing on his naivety over the course of 13 different jobs and adventures, viewers are brought along for the ride. And perhaps, like Ambrose, they'll also learn a thing or two about design from the best of the best."
For Ambrose, this is a journey of decorating and self-discovery and a step closer to becoming the master decorator he's always dreamed of being."

Thanks for the info - I enjoy Sarah R and Tommy. :)

Thank you so much-love Sarah and Tommy.

Totally agree about House Hunters!

Really enjoyed watching Sara's program. What will it take before HGTV listens to the viewers and cut back on the number of times it shows the House Hunters series. At times it seems that is the only program the station has.

Really great show, and I love the interaction between her and Tommy. Great information that people can use to make decisions about their own spaces - like HGTV used to do in so many of their shows.

House Hunters is cheap to produce. They don't have to pay talent except for the voiceovers, and they likely shoots a bunch in one area at a time, so travel and stuff is limited.

I am still a fan of HGtV - but it isn't 'can't miss television' for me like it was 5 or more years ago.

I really enjoyed the new show. Very useful information. I'm trying (slowly) to get the hang of combining different patterns and I think Sarah does this really well. I also enjoy her interaction with Tommy. Very entertaining!

While watching the show, I kept flashing on this room below, it's Mary Tyler Moore's living room from her Malibu house during the 70's - a very happy room.
BTW- she needle-pointed all those sofa back cushion pillows.

Really liked the show. Loved the little upholstered dr chairs. Checked her website for the source(West Elm) and they're not even on there! Too new, too old???

Maybe they are specific to West Elm Canada...? US West Elm certainly has some that look similar... link below to their living room chairs.

Definitely enjoyed it. It reminded me of some of her earlier stuff from Room Service.

Well, darn it, I missed the show and this thread until too late. I wish all Sarah's shows were under one name so my DVR would catch them once I set it up once. Sarah's House, Sarah's Summer House, and now Sarah 101....one name, people...how about something like Sarah?

Sigh. Off to find this on the internet....

My fantasy is to win the lottery so I can hire Sarah and Tommy to decorate my house. Her designs are so fresh, colorful, and liveable. Of course, I may have to actually buy a lottery ticket....

I love Mary Tyler Moore's living room from the 70's. I do needlepoint, and I am astounded that she did all that! That's hours and hours and hours of work. Looks like she did it perfectly, too (of course!)

Oh darn, I missed it! I am so glad to hear others are fed up with house hunters on hgtv! I miss the actual decorating shows that were original to hgtv. They need some serious competition IMO.

I actually still like House Hunters...especially House Hunters International, but am getting tired of the repeats. ;)

Saw Sarah's Summer House for the first time last week. Loved it! It was the final installment, the day they built the Bunky and Sara had the baby.

Looking forward to seeing 101. I missed it this past Saturday because I was hosting a dinner party that night. Love, love Tommy!

I'll check out Summer House. Thanks!

I read somewhere the other day sarah's girls are like 3 and 5, so apparently that show is old? I do like Sarah and while I do not care for HGTV - if home and remember when she is on - I will watch. I saw about 15 minutes of the new show, then we were out and about.
