Tuesday night saw the return of Sarah's House, an HGTV series featuring much loved (and my favourite)Canadian designer Sarah Richardson buying, renovating, and tricking out (Design Inc. style) a previously loved, but seen better days home in her native Ontario. This season finds her traipsing through the mud in her designer Wellies with her talented, trusty sidekick, Tommy. Ever the city boy, Tommy can barely hide his disdain for the country setting of the pad Sarah picked up for the bargain price of $500,000. Not to worry, she is merely sinking another $600,000 to bring it up to a standard even (adorable city slicker)Tommy could appreciate.
Now, lest you think I am slamming the show, I can assure you watching Sarah and Tommy work their incredible design magic on such a charming old farm house is a guilty pleasure I won't soon give up. Sarah is the BEST, hands down! But that said, with a value of 1.1 million before realtor fees and star power is added in, Sarah's house has a price tag that surely alienates the average viewer. Sarah's Houses just aren't homes any of us common peasants can even begin to dream about. So sad...
Indeed, as her brilliant star burns brighter, Sarah's House is clear evidence that not only is her talent out of the stratosphere, but also that she, herself, is living in a completely different world than the rest of her viewers.
Think Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous meets The Simple Life.
It's that kind of reality TV show, with a whole lot of pretty thrown in.
~Sigh~
Kinda makes me want to do a High/Low post about how to get a similar look on a real person's budget.
Hmmmm.......
