Extreme Homes

This is interesting.

They show some pretty cool stuff.

Some of it I don't like and wouldn't want and some of it I totally love.

... This would appeal to a wide variety of people.

The one thing that I absolutely cannot stand and I fast forward through is the chick that does the introduction to each new place being shown. I can't stand her. She's fake, fake, fake and she smiles unnaturally way too much. It's not normal, and it makes me feel extremely uneasy. Like, a used car salesperson. No trust at all on my part. That's just me, based on my own little idiosyncrasies, though. I'm sure she was thrilled to get the job, and she thinks she's great because that's really obvious. Anyway, in spite of her, I like the show.

If you have a passion for the unique and diverse combined with a love of places we charmingly refer to as "home"; then you'll probably love this show.

I adore this show. Its simple, basic and to the point. It is a pretty basic showcasing of the homes, letting them speak for themselves. Often and most appreciated, their homeowners, designers and architects help in this showcasing speaking upon the properties, creation, reasoning history and purpose.

There's literally something for everyone in this show. I don't think anything that could be considered a home hasn't been touched upon. From every corner of the world as well. I haven't seen one from Antarctica yet however. Haha. From mansions to tiny homes, from traditional and contemporary to modern and quirky, from natural to industrial, from restored to re-purposed, from the most lavished and famed to the most frugal and minimal, all these homes share one thing in common, their characteristic nature to be out of the norm....to be uncommon.
