Murder House Flip

You can watch any other reno show and they're all doing the same things: granite counters, white walls, shiplap slapped up to cover a variety of ills, and well... The homes in these are pretty much interchangeable.

What I like so much about this show is nothing is cookie cutter at all. The accent wall they did in one home, where they tacked wood strips onto the wall was nothing short of fantastic! And to use black paint in the dining room and foyer? I didn't think that would work at all, but by the time they were done, it looked so darn great!

I also like it when they ask the owners of the home what THEY want, rather than telling them what they want.

The other reno shows can learn from this one. How about NOT using Carrera marble? How about NOT using shiplap on every wall in the house and ceiling? How about NOT painting every wall either white or beige?

I live in a smaller home and am always on the lookout for ways to work with my space and this show does such a GREAT job of renovating based on the space, rather than what THEY like.
