My Favorite Extreme Makeover House

Posted on by

Did you get a chance to see Extreme Home Makeover this weekend? I think this week, The Hill Family, might have been my favorite house. I always love the stories and the families, and the Hill Family was no exception. But the appearance really appealed to me this week.

We have watched some magnificent houses being built on this show, haven’t we? I am mostly drawn to the sprawling ranches with the peaks and stone and huge windows. You know, the progressive stuff. But this week a little calm washed over me when the bus pulled away and revealed the grand two story waiting to be toured. The house, for me, was the perfect blend of old style and contemporary. I could see their big ol’ family gathering and welcoming friends and family into their home, creating new memories and continuing to give back and enrich the lives of others.

The inside was a little more modern than the outside, but still very warm and inviting. The colors outside and in are so tranquil and that dining room table was really special. The lower level, dedicated to the teenage boys was amazing but a little flashy for me. :-) I will say that I loved that flashy wall game. There always has to be something breath taking and one of a kind, doesn’t there?

I would love to have my house redone, who wouldn’t, right? Someone needs to produce a show to help home owners who are not quite in as desperate situations as the Extreme Home Makeover people. People whose maintenance is BECOMING overwhelming but they haven’t quite lost it yet. Those would require smaller budgets and would maybe save a lot of people from going into those dire straits. Or maybe folks with special needs that don’t need a whole rebuild, maybe just some specializing to meet their wants/needs, like walk in tubs, finished basement with playroom and privacy for growing family, new windows and a roof… whatever the case may be. Think something in scale between QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY and EXTREME HOME MAKE OVER. That’d be cool.

For my make over I don’t think I want anything elaborate. Maybe some more windows put in where the builder skimped, um… finished basement with laundry room, office & play area. OH! And a fancy multi head shower! That would be my luxury splurge. How about you?

Here’s a tour of the Hill House if you would like to see it.

  1. i have always dreamed of one house at Beverly hills, lolz, yes of-course, who doesn’t wants to put creativity to their house, and most when it is under construction, everyone will put their 100% to this, and yeah i agree with you, Red Color will be awesome at front.

  2. We have to dream, don’t we David :-) I dream about a big ol house on the outer banks of North Carolina. Like in the movie NIGHTS IN RODANTHE. :-) Good luck with Beverly Hills and thank you for your comment :-)

  4. Each and everyone dreams to have a their dream house and people wish that they could get a chance to make menace in the building process. I am sure that this will definitely be of awesome help.
