We've been a fan of this show since it started and really enjoy watching Brett Waterman restore classic homes to their original grandeur. The show is a great blend of home renovation and architectural history lesson. Brett does a great job of explaining the look and character he's trying to capture as he works through the renovation.
My only critique comes from the most recent season (2023). In previous seasons, the reno projects featured on the show were generally modest homes in quiet middle-class residential neighborhoods. This latest season seems to have taken the show in a new direction, as it almost exclusively features massive homes and huge restoration budgets. The effect for a viewer like myself is that the show suddenly feels out of touch and thus less interesting.
I hope the the show runners remember their audience and return to restoring homes that more of us could see ourselves living in in upcoming seasons. It's one of the aspects of the show that make it stand out from it's competitors, and frankly why I enjoy watching.

I really love that this is not just your standard redecorating show. Homes are restored to be what they were originally supposed to be. All sorts of architectural styles are presented, and even when the style isn't one I would typically care for, it is always interesting to learn about the different styles and the elements that define them. I'm an architecture junkie, but I think anyone who enjoys home remodeling and decor shows would enjoy this. I find the host to be really likeable and he comes across as a really nice, laid-back guy.
You know that in every episode that Brett will insert 'pony walls', pocket doors, a mud room and an island bench in the kitchen.
He will also laugh like a drain and bear hug the wife.

I'm obsessed with this series! What sets this apart from all the rest is its genuine focus on preserving rather than a modern renovation that doesn't stand the test of time.
It's so refreshing to watch a preservation show where you actually learn a lot about different architectural styles. Brett has a great eye for sensing what the house had and more often than not, he's exactly right. In one episode, he guessed where a sconce once may have been and with a hammer, he found it in just one try!
I love that this show now airs on both DIY and HGTV. The renovations are fun to watch and the more viewers get introduced to traditional design, the better.

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.
