No Demo Reno

Pretty much standard HGTV fair these days: big budget renovations that actually do involve a lot of demo. Designs are nice but very standard, same thing you see on other shows. Entertaining to watch in the moment but largely forgetable. Based on the name I was really hoping for some budget friendly renovation ideas that don't involve smashing through walls and rerouting plumbing for $40k-$80k. Sigh.

Jennis a breath of fresh air and full of joy! She's funny, kind, and backs up her fun personality with seriously good design. I love the feel that what she designs is actually attainable.

Love the pop-ups too!! So fun!!

Love the cast! Love the premise! Love that she resells the cabinets that are still usable! It always bugs me in other shows when they destroy perfectly reusable material. Hope this show sticks around for awhile!

I don't know what the deal is with some people criticizing her hair (it's gorgeous and if it distracts you because she wears it down...how do you live life?). I've seen "she should not wear those shorts at her age." She's in her early thirties...what's the big deal?? I have followed Jenn on Instagram for about three years so perhaps I am bias as I already find her hilarious and able to perk up my day when I watch her "stories." This carries over to her show. As far as "no demo," I do understand some confusion, but they mean no permit is needed; no major demolition. I can go with that. I do not find her designs to be all the same nor do I find her bossy. She is friends with many of these clients! And she's not "trying to be cute." She's just super cute!! Goodness, imagine criticizing people for being cute! I have really enjoyed watching this show and look forward to when the next season airs.

Not only do I love Jenn and her personality but they do renovations with an actual budget. She talks about budgets and why she is making certain choices, like working with floors because it is out of the budget to replace them...that is relatable! Great new show.
