Renovation Aloha

And now I see there's yet another remodel show (Down Hone Fab) coming. ENOUGH!!! It's all the same old thing. Toss in another perky couple with building and "design" skills, stage a house with perfect touches and nothing feels any different. I don't watch any of these shows anymore because I've seen it all before. Where are the gardening shows that put the G in HGTV?? What about some DIY shows like they once had (design on a Dime)? Give us something to get excited about, not just more of the same in a different state with a different husband and wife team. Or maybe renovations that don't cost $100,000. Nobody I know has that kind of money sitting around.

I lived on the gorgeous island of Oahu a gazillion years ago while my dad taught at the University. We moved from St. Louis to paradise and were lucky enough to live in a house in Monoa Valley. Everything was extremely expensive and at that time, there was no internet so we relied on the US Postal Service or long-distance phone calls. I remember my mom feeling very seculded there.

It was a wonderful experience and I cherish those memories. Anytime I see a tv show or movie that is filmed in Hawaii, I try to watch so was very excited about this new home show. Hoping I'll see some familiar sights!

As background,....ice always loved hgtv type entertainment but in the past decade, tv personalities and personal life seems to be more important in the show than actually doing the diy. And showing how it's done is almost entirely absent.

This show feels like a good compromise between old and new hgtv styles. I like the aura that the two main people have. The Hawaiian aspect of the show ads a flare that is not often seen on tv...which adds to the shows attraction. What really elevates the show to me is that the designs of the flips are actually something I would want to live in. Rather than most shows flamboyant takes if design that barely stay relevant the entire season they are aired in. I Ben hard situations in this show are positive yet real.

The only cons I see are the awkward extended conversation scenes. But those could also be apart of why I like the show. It feels more real. Which only leaves the only real bad part which is small...is the horrific squeal chime pulled from the 1990's to emphasize something bad is happening.

My wife and I never heard of Renovation Aloha until yesterday (03-04-2024) and we absolutely love it. We love that they are family oriented. Renovation Aloha does not give you that fake or scripted feel like other renovation shows do but an authentic one which is a breath of fresh air.

Renovation Aloha fix some of the worst house's in Hawaii and they turn them into beautiful modern family homes. What we enjoy about the show so far is that Renovation Aloha does not over exaggerate with extravagant and unnecessary accessories to home which makes them looks awkward. Renovation Aloha is our new favorite show.

I like this show but I want to know what type of jobs do Hawaiian people have to afford these homes? They say many times they do the renovations for the local. And why does anyone pay almost a million dollars for these dumps.

Most of the renovation designs are alright. I don't understand why anyone would put in a big beautiful kitchen island then ruin it with putting in a sink or stove top.

The other design I'm not crazy about is wet bathrooms. Who wants to take a shower and get water all over the soaker tub, then have to clean the whole area? I guess with what you pay for the houses you hire a housekeeper.
