I used to like Holmes on homes. I even overlooked the silly diamond earring. Then, once while he was tearing apart someone else's work he pointed out the use of metal studs in a basement remodel. He said that if there is water they could rust.
I have remodeled my share of basements and I also know that mold doesn't grow on steel, much less galvanized steel. Mold loves sweet, wet, wood.
C'mon Holmes, now you're scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Less talk and more work. Just shake your head in discust and don't say anything.
Has anyone noticed that on the "Holmes" reveals, the women are never really ecstatic like on other reveal shows? Maybe because he has absolutely ZERO taste (overalls should be red flag #1) and looks like he dumpster dives at the local building supply store when he picks the tile and fixtures for these places.
The worst was when he was completing a bath remodel in an 1800's farmhouse, and put black granite tops in with a dark taupe ceramic tile on the walls with Black 4x4 tile inserts on the diagonal! He wanted it look contemporary!!!!
Memo to Mike: people who own old farmhouses generally LIKE the vintage charm. They don't want contemporary! If it were me, if Mike showed up on the scene to redo part of my house, I would nicely say "no thank you".
ME TOO!!!! They were horrible...and that older decorator dude on trading spaces. He was terrible too.
Frank, the very southern gentleman. I can only remember Doug and Hilde doing some pretty disastrous makeovers that the homeowners were very unhappy with. Doug of course liked to do whatever the homeowners specifically asked them not to do... One of them covered the walls of a living room with some kind of gray mohair looking stuff, and there was a Best of Trading Spaces recently on the OWN network showing when Hilde painted an entire kitchen (ceiling too, I think) a very bright orange and did a bad job of spray painting (EEEEK!) the appliances, one of then painted and/or drywalled a nice fireplace and painted it a hideous brown.
Glad I could give you a laugh...here's an even BETTER picture- the way I remember them.
Wow, those are some mom jeans! I still think they look better on women of a certain age than the low slung ones that really only look good on girls/young women who have 3% body fat. Like the other night Rachael Ray was wearing a pair of lowriders and it did not do good things for her tummy and lovehandles...
I really like Sabrina Soto but I think if I hear the commercial on HGTV of her saying "the piece you'll love to pieces" one more time I'll go crazy!

Apparently wardrobe and makeup was not in the budget.
