FIVE NEW FAVES

It looks like HGTV has been listening to its viewers, and has created some new shows this year to love. Although we're drawn the designer programs (like lovin' Candice Olson, David Bromstad, and Dear Genevive) some of the newer shows are more competitive like Battle On The Block. Here's a list of my new Five Faves - along with some HGTV 'firsts'...

new looks in your OWN closet,

4. TOUGH AS NAILS

(a woman after my OWN heart!!)

Watching Cindy Stumpo in action is like watching a tornado tear through a city. She can sometimes have a short fuse but it's always with good reason.

5. SELLING NEW YORK

LOVE!! LOVE!! LOVE!! Because I LOVE New York!

Catch a rare glimpse into a world where a solid reputation

at the top of the real estate food chain

involves swimming with the sharks

ALL TIME NEW FAVE!!

Along with these 5 shows, are a block of 'firsts'

MY FIRST PLACE

following a set of first-time buyers and their realtor

along the stress-filled, yet exciting, search for the perfect home.

MY FIRST SALE

MFS has even more drama and, most important,

more valuable takeaways to help viewers

make top dollar on their own sale.

Great information to try to help turn the market around

FIRST TIME DESIGN

get off the couch and dive into the world of
