OK,
I'll admit it, I love home design shows. Not all of them, of course. Being a single guy living in an apartment, I really
can't get into shows where couples or families look for a new house, or shows where a rich couple adds a heliport to
their mansion, or even shows where someone puts $10,000 into redoing their kitchen.
But I do like shows such
as
Design on a Dime,
reDesign, and
Small Space, Big
Style, because I can picture myself doing those types of changes to my place. But I'm getting tired of
Small Space, Big Style, because they've forgotten about the "small spaces" part. Just the other
night they showcased two "small" apartments...that were 1000 square feet each. 1000 square feet? Sorry,
that's not "small," even if it's two people living there. One person? It's a football field.
I'd
like to see them focus more on really small city apartments and microapartments, places where you look in amazement at
the cool things that people can do in a small space. There's some of that still, but there are too many episodes where
they show people who have "small" apartments that are about 5 times the size of mine (note: mine is about 200
square feet). If any of these people who have "small" apartments of 1000 feet or more, I'll switch with them.
