I too had forgotten some of these hosts and miss these old shows. I'm a huge sucker for room transformations, but also design and design style. There aren't any shows dedicated to this anymore. I guess I'm old, but I'm used to, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," ethos to things. HGTV then, didn't need fixing. Also, I miss the gardening content,...ya know, the G' in HGTV. Anyways, thanks for this post and for the memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-66944517140299974282022-09-13T02:26:29.495-07:002022-09-13T02:26:29.495-07:00Kitty did a book.

Amazon is a good place to begin looking . I found NO PLACE LIKE HOME by Stephen Saint-Onge at Amazon books . Stephen writes for BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS magazine and has a down to earth, affordable decorating style . His book has lots of photos with accompanying explanations .
