Home Again with the Fords

I used to watch HGTV constantly, but since Leanne has moved on I don't. I tried so many shows trying to find that modern spirit, and I have not. She was a rule breaker in the traditional sense. If anyone can recommend..please do.

Both of her design shows were so inspiring to me. It was not more of the same, her take was fresh, modern, exciting and clean.

I would love some design shows that showcase japandi, nordic, danish etc.

I love lime wash, plaster, natural stone, clean and white. Wood tones, microcement.

I know she is on to better things, but there has to be other modern designers?

My 2 cents.

Leanne has terrible taste, Steve tries to stop her. I wouldn't hire her on take any designing or decorating suggestions from her. I won't be continuing to watch this show. It's just another TV show.

Amazing!!! Leann Ford seems authentic and I love her designs!!

The Pittsburgh brother/sister duo of Steve and Leanne Ford have pivoted away from their former restoration theme, which seemed to involve painting everything white, to a new premise of renovating family homes for a younger generation of owners, which still seems to involve painting everything white, while doing more ambitious renovations at a much higher budget. Unfortunately the end results are only slightly more impressive.

While they are spending the client budgets on more expensive materials and fixtures, the outcomes somehow seem less than impressive given the budgets. Leanne is just as annoyingly spacey as before, but Steve seems a bit more grounded and doesn't come across as quite so out of it as he did on the previous show. The final rooms still seem thrown together and filled with assorted junk. I just don't see the appeal. It's difficult for me to understand how another series with the pair got to go ahead. It just isn't good.

Hate the new music with vocals. Hate the rap music. Really? Rap music? These guys are so far from rap I can't believe it. I only tolerate the show now because my wife likes it. Lose the music and you might get me back.
