I admit it! I am an HGTV addict! I am a fan of some shows and a critic of others, but I do learn a lot from the shows. There is a new show that is, I think, one of the best--"Professional Grade."
The premise of "Professional Grade" is that homeowners take on a renovation project and try to do the best job they can with the money they have to spend. At the end of the project, a team of contractors comes to review the project and provide an estimate of what they think they have spent. The homeowners get to keep the difference between what they actually spent and what the contractors think they spent.
What I like about the show is that this really is a do-it-yourself show and not one that showcases high-end designers. It speaks to those of us who like to do our own work on a budget without it necessarily looking like it is. Of course, when I went to apply, the casting call is closed! I have missed my opportunity to be on national television. However, I am going to proceed with my own project--my kitchen. I will post the first "before" picture as soon I start, along with pictures of the work in progress.

Try again! Maybe you will get on there next time.
Keep trying......you can't give up on something that you really want to do! I think that's a great idea doing one involving your kitchen and sending in the pictures. That may just be the foot in the door to get on the show. Good Luck!
