This is such a calming and beautiful program. Each episode, about 10-12 minutes long, explores an old house that has been revitalized. The owners explain what the house was like prior, what they did to it, and sometimes why and, of course, what they like about it. The history of the house is usually explained too. It is really a nice journey they take you through.
Most of the houses are out of the average person's price range, but they are all lovely to look at.
It is a bit contrived as the houses, often with families living in them, are spotless and in showroom condition. Kids play board games rather than being on cell phones or tablets. No one watches TV. I don't think I've seen a TV in any house yet. When the owners are shown eating at home it is often an elaborate affair. Even the simple breakfast meals are absent cereal boxes, milk cartons or an open loaf of bread. It is all staged like a commercial or a photo shoot for a magazine. Which makes it very lovely, but a bit unrealistic.
Overall it is a calming and inspirational program that lets you peek inside one of those houses you drive by and wonder what it looks like inside.
