This is NOT your same-old house renovation show. Brett carefully returns homes to as near original glory, while preserving but disguising modern necessities to fit the period. As an owner of a 106 year old home myself, I've learned SO much from this show and it has both broadened my thinking and also allowed me to key in to exactly the approach I want to take.
Another thing this show has made me realize is that EVERY era of home can be beautiful, you just have to be true to the home's original function and be consistent with finishes and style choices throughout. I've also learned that I can like linoleum, and that it is NOT the same thing as vinyl flooring ;)
The only thing I would change about the show would be for him to go to other parts of the country, as he stays mostly in Redlands and always in Southern California. I want to hire him! Brett come to the Midwest!! But for real though, I would thoroughly enjoy seeing how his approach might vary for areas that experience freeze/thaw, snow load, and otherwise more precipitation.
