It is so refreshing to see a DIY show where respect is paid to old materials. Rather than sledgehammer perfectly good, well-made materials, Nicole takes the time and puts in the effort to breathe new life into old materials, restoring them to their former glory!

This show is particularly empowering for girls and young women to watch, because Nicole isn't afraid to do anything. She is a great role-model and I hope this show empowers more people to take the time to restore old materials. She respects the pieces for what they are, and with the extra elbow grease, proves that a well-taken care of home with its original charm can shine.

I really hope this show stays around for a long time: it's informative, entertaining, and inspiring!

This is EVERYTHING that a housing-rehab show should be about: saving wonderful old homes from the wrecking ball & bringing them back to life. It's very relevant during these times of urban renewal and the vital re- use of older materials. The rehab of old homes is a 'movement' that should never end.

And what's not to love here??? Nicole Curtis {honestly} shows us the pains & hassles of old home rehab as she goes thru the process. And then, along with her, we get to experience the gratification of bringing a classic back to it's former glory, becoming livable again, and ending up even more being even wonderful than before. For those of us who LOVE (like Nicole wears a shirt that says this): "old houses, old people, and old dogs" . . . It's a wonderful, enjoyable show!

And THANK YOU Nicole for not muddling up this series with quasi-political issues (such as gay rights) so constantly "featured" on many other shows. As important as equality and personal rights are, craft and cooking shows (on HGTV and the Food Network) are just NOT the place for it - it's become SO boring to see that repeatedly forced upon the viewers.

As for Nicole Curtis, we love her fierce independent spirit and amazing work ethic. She is the real deal - and a total doll!

This is a great show without drama. She works and gets her hands dirty. I put these shows on while I'm working on my house. It really motivates me to work on the projects for my house. I enjoy watching this show because I can watch it with my whole family and its family friendly. No swear words. Thank you Nicole!!

What I like about her programme is she respects the original architects' footprint.

Sorry, I can only take about 15 minutes of Nicole's voice before I have to switch it off. Love what she's doing but it's pretty tough to get into a show watching only 15 minutes at a time. I pretty much just stopped after about 3 episodes.
