Following is a list of women I find very attractive who all share a common attribute: they are featured players in shows about renovation. Either they do it themselves or they are the designers or coordinators. This list is in no particular order.
Amy Matthews (Sweat Equity) – This is a recent addition to this list. The cable package I have does not include DIYNetwork but some of their shows have been ported over to HGTV. I happened to find her show on one day and – wow – she is really cute. She has this great quality to her voice and she really knows how to swing a hammer. Almost every time they mention her name, they precede it with “Licensed Contractor”. She can renovate my house any time.
Kristan Cunningham (Design On A Dime) – Kristan is an interior designer and artist who uses only $1,000 to remodel a room. Her greatest accomplishments in the shows are the “finds” on furniture and accessories at thrift stores and antique shops. She also likes to take an ordinary item and use it for something other than its intended purpose (example: she once used linoleum tiles as a kitchen ‘carpet’ runner. I had my doubts about it but it really worked). For the first dozen episodes of hers that I watched, I would say 10 of them she used a “sage-y green” wall paint.
Genevieve Gorder (Dear Genevieve) – This is another young lady who I recently found designing renovations. She looks like she should be doing something other than tearing down kitchens and busting open walls. I have to admit, she’s good at her job. Most times she takes people where they don’t really want to go but like where they end up. It seems like there’s always a shot of a nervous homeowner who has just been given the news of removing a wall. She easily reassures them, the wall is taken out, and in the end they love it.
Kelly Edwards (Design On A Dime) – I watch these renovation shows looking for ideas that I can incorporate into my own house. Most times I think “I would NEVER do that in my house”. Kelly bucks that trend. I would do her anywhere she would allow me. She is just so cute I’d like to put her on a plate and sop her up with a biscuit. On the show, she has good ideas that are met favorably with the host. I could put another joke in here about "meeting her favorably" but I'll let it go.
Candice Olsen (Divine Design) – I would love to have this woman design a room in my house just to see how much it actually costs. This is one renovation show that does not mention the word “budget”. Why? Because they’re so exquisitely well-done and over the top that people would be afraid to use her because of the cost. She has a really goofy sense of humor that is both embarrassing and endearing at the same time. If I’m not mistaken, she uses “can lights” in every renovation. Maybe that’s her trademark.
Paige Hemmis (Extreme Makeover Home Edition) – Paige is just nice to look at. I don’t think anyone will argue that. She has a big toothy grin and a nice tight body to match. The big difference between her and everyone else on this list is that this woman works! She can regularly be seen hammering studs into place (no pun intended) and sawing wood (no pun intended). Her pink hard hat is her trademark (pun TOTALLY intended).
Kahi Lee (Design On A Dime) – As you can tell, I watch DoD quite a bit. She took a long time for me to warm up to. The first few episodes I watched of her doing her thing, she seemed clunky and uncomfortable with her position as host. She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to the design elements but she almost seems fearful of the client’s reaction at the big reveal – like they’re not going to like what she’s done.
Tava Smiley (Clean Sweep) – The premise of this show is that someone has got two cluttered rooms that get cleaned out using the “keep/sell/donate” method. The homeowners go through each item and decide what happens to it. Tava reappears at then end and helps price each item that will be sold in the garage sale (as part of the show). In the right light, she looks like a poor man’s Tea Leoni. Her sheer excitement is a total turn-on and is very easy on the eyes.
