Home Town

I enjoy watching Home Town because they renovate homes for real people. The average person (me) can't afford an expensive renovation. I appreciate watching something I could actually afford to do.

The Napier's are adorable. They make small town Mississippi seem charming.i didn't know they existed until Fixer Upper went off. I'm happy I found them. It's now my favorite HGTV show.

Sitting here watching another show of this type, I realise Ben and Erin have much nicer clients than the other show. They come in on or under budget each time. I do wonder how the buyers afford the rooms that are not renovated, however. I love the recycling element of the show.

I love this show. What I like is that the Napier's live in this town and they take pride in it. I get a kick out of it when Ben brings his two buddies along on a project and that Ben builds something in his wood shop for the homes. It's also cool that they do houses for people of all income levels. I mean, they do a project for $75,000.

The only issue I have is that the producers don't show the rooms that they weren't able to renovate for either time or money. If that's the case, just tell us. "We weren't able to finish the upstairs bedrooms because it wasn't in the budget." Or "Due to time constraints, we couldn't show the upstairs renovation." etc. Don't just pretend that the rooms aren't there. It's kind of insulting.

Love their motivation to make their town nicer, and their interaction. Seem like a very sweet couple!

Seems they really care about their clients doing things like putting in a single sink to keep costs down for a single homeowner in a small house, using butcher block counters instead of granite/quartz once in a while (assuming that's less expensive because he's a woodworker & does some amazing work!).

Having said that, when they have the budget they also do nice work with higher end materials. Like any of these shows, I can see some issues like a loose stair tread (and I know that not every room gets done due to time/budget issues) but honestly I'd be happy to have them remodel my place if I wanted someone to do that for me.

Bottom line, uplifting show with some interesting befores and/or afters
