Honest Renovations

Another reno show with hosts wearing beautiful street clothes, fully made up, swinging sledge hammers for the camera. Just ridiculous. Too much time spent on the emotional stuff! The one I watched today was more than 15 minutes in before they got to discussing any actual renovation ideas. I know it's important to make the emotional connection of an uncomfortable home to the finished product now supporting the owner's new life, but really, enough of the boo hooing! Product placement very much in evidence here, shouldn't be surprised, I guess, given the name of the show. Hosts, please stop trying to participate in the work - it's unneccessary and painful to watch.

I love the concept and the execution of this show. Being able to revamp a small space to make it more efficient and usable for large families is a godsend. The show takes the time to get to know the families to accurately remodel their spaces to fit their needs and desires.

Seeing the responses from the families when they see their new living spaces is uplifting and inspiring. The show allows the watcher to get to know the family and explore their current living conditions in details....all great pluses.

My problem comes with the hosts. They deter me from continuing to watch this show because they are irritating. Playing dumb can only get you so far and is not a good look for them or this show. The back and forth conversations they have on topics that hav nothing to do with the show is annoying, so I am not going to make it pass the second episode.

I do not recommend.

Everyone who wants a wholesome, funny, and "worth-your-time-to-watch" show; this show is IT!! The dynamic is so real and the families are always amazing!! But can we talk about the designs!!! They go hard for each project and they deliver that dopamine hit you want from a good home renovating show! These two ladies have such good chemistry! I would give it 100 stars if I could! The first three episodes are absolutely amazingly well thought out. The families needs are relatable and make you feel like you are really a part of the show. But more than that, Jessica and Lizzy really feel so approachable.

Vapid, self-important and painful. Was hoping for honest renovations, meaning the nitty gritty of the challenges and how to make the homes better. Alas, the honest in the title is the featuring of a shopping trip at the Honest products showroom.

Freshman level design choices and grey almost everywhere. Plus a lot of tension between the hosts. One a real designer and the other a celebrity fake. Such a bummer. But when celebrities are involved it's often difficult to not let them make themselves the center of attention. Love her Honest products business and her intent, but this show is embarrassing. Always glad to see women producing, and she needed a pro who could reign her in and create a show with substance.

There are so many renovation shows out there that come in, rip everything out, and then replace it all with cookie cutter soulless colorless trash.

This show has such good vibes! They infuse all the spaces with character instead of making them white boxes and the premise of making homes more functional for families is so beautiful! I love when they show bits of organization and processes that make your house more efficient so viewers can take that information and make their own houses run more smoothly with it. I hope that this show gets many more seasons! The families featured are also so deserving of a better lifestyle and these designers are very thoughtful of function and each family members personality. Probably one of my favorite reno shows now.
