House Doctor

So is she a decorator or is she a home stager? I've heard her call herself both but I have serious doubts either way. Sometimes I can hardly watch as perky Tracy's awful plans unfold. Sure, when homeowners get rid of clutter, extra furniture and remove old rugs, the rooms look open and light. Paint an accent wall in an outlandish color if you have to (we wouldn't do that in the US to sell our houses though). But please just stop slopping ugly colors of paint on homeowners' clocks, chandeliers and furniture and sticking up cheap wall decor such as crepe paper pieces and 20 embroidery hoops stretching quilting fabric squares. Tell me how painting dresser knobs each a different color helps sell a house - that's downright nutty.

It's interesting seeing the different towns, houses and homeowners in England but I'd rather do it with someone other than "look at me" Tracy Metro. After every episode, I feel like we should isue an apology to the Brits for the big dose of crazy inflicted on their homes.

Can't review this show without mentioning how distracting Tracy's outfits are.
