You know what's one of my secret pleasures? Along with real estate guides and sitting in a room with just the Christmas tree lights on (doing that right now, y'all)? Home renovation shows. Oh yes.
It all stems back to when we had construction done on our house when I was in the eighth grade, which is seriously another post for another day because it was six months with the randomest motley crew of construction workers in our lives (example: burly guys terrified of your pet Labrador; a guy who was once arrested for riding a horse while drunk; workers tearing out your staircase, taking their ladder home...and leaving a radio on upstairs. It was a very amusing time in Casa Bischer). But seeing the end result and the sheer amount of work that went into it really opened my eyes to how awesome home renovations can be.
So, anyway, since then, I've enjoyed renovate-y things. I like walking around Home Depots. I like when people I know are having their houses/condos redone and I can see what their plans are. And, yes, I like home improvement shows. And HGTV and DIY are like a crack supplier for me with those things.
Anyway, that's all just a whole lot of explaining to bring us to my point, my latest installment of KB's TV Crush (which, sidebar, this is like a boom time for cute, "KB's Type" guys on TV. Thank you, whoever is making that happen):
Matt Muenster, the host of
Bath Crashers. A little scruffy, a lot personable, actually funny (His reaction to a bathroom festooned with swans, "It's a water fowl adventure in here!", was particularly charming) mixed with manly home reno-type stuff and shazzam! Yeah, I may be enjoying this show a lot lately. The fact that it's on like 16 times a week doesn't hurt.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm all DIY inspired right now, and have to fix my makeshift star holder/transplanted branch on my Christmas tree. If they ever have a show about that and other useful ways to use Scotch Tape, I'm so there.
