DIY Network released it’s Winter 2016 schedule, which is bursting with renovation and rehab shows (i.e. my favorite kind!).
Most exciting Scott McGillivray and Income Property (formerly on HGTV) is back to make me believe I can turn my soggy, dodgy 100-year-old basement into an apartment befitting a Fredrik Eklund listing! It ain’t gonna happen but a girl can dream of having more lucrative renters than her cats, right?!
Income Property premieres February 18th, so sadly we have to wait practically eons to see Scott’s latest renovation wonders.

Another show moving from HGTV to DIY Network is Rehab Addict with Nicole Curtis. If you haven’t watched it, you should – Nicole has great advice for repurposing and restoring items because she truly honors the unique features of old homes. The lady seriously works miracles and has great resources for rehabbing things that seem impossible. She’s also a girl who works on a budget, which I appreciate. No Property Brothers $200,000 designer kitchens befitting of Kimye there!
