All too often I find myself in an HGTV coma, kicked back watching episode after episode shows like of Flip or Flop— completely enamored with the end result of the homes, the sleek kitchens and the trendy wall decor. After lots and lots of binge watching, I have compiled a list (granted, not an extensive list) of my favorite shows on HGTV right now.
1. Property Brothers. This show is awesome. The guys are hilarious, not bad to look at, and crazy good at what they do. Drew, the real estate expert, helps clients find a new home; while Jonathan, a licensed contractor flips the client's current digs. And the best brother wins. Either the client picks a new house courtesy of Drew, or they go with their fixer upper, courtesy of Jonathan.
2. Flip or Flop. This couple is anything and everything #goals. Tarek and Christina live in Cali and buy foreclosure properties typically from auctions, without even seeing the house first. With the help of an investor who rightfully has tons of faith in them, they flip the house with a "small" renovation budget so once they sell the house, their profit is huge. Also, they've got some dang cute kiddos.
3. House Hunters. I personally love this one because of all the locations they go to (they have international episodes) and I love that it gives viewers (a.k.a. me in my night gown with Oreos watching this) a good idea of the qualities they do/don't want in a future home.
4. Love It Or List It. This one is conceptually similar to Property Brothers, without the brothers. Instead of Drew and Jonathan, it stars a British woman who flips the homes and a super cheesy, over-the-top realtor. Still just as entertaining, 10/10 recommend.
5. Finally, everyone's favorite...Fixer Upper. Stars Chip and Jo make you want to get married, have five kids, move into a farmhouse and flip homes every day for the rest of your life. They make Waco, Texas look glamorous and the renovation process look easy. When will it be my turn for a house flip?
