Bobby Berk Quotes

I'm not an interior designer - I'm a normal working mum who wants her house to look good and doesn't need a man to do it for her.

My guilty pleasure is I like to watch a lot of HGTV. I really like watching design shows about houses, like extreme homes. Like buying a bridge and turning it into a house or something like that. I really am interested in home design or something like that... architecture.

I love HGTV. I love working on my house and have really been bit by the 'luxury remodeling' bug. 'Million Dollar Rooms,' 'Million Dollar Listing'... any show that can give me design inspiration, I soak it in and try my hand at it. Home Depot is my second home!

I also had a hosting position on a home and garden television show - which is a joke if you ever see my apartment.

I love to watch 'Property Brothers.'

I visited Minnie Pearl's home down in Nashville, and I liked it so much I asked the same man to help fix up my place.

We really find that most houses we look at - that are really rough around the edges - most of those are actually diamonds in the rough. They could be beautiful, and it just takes a little creativity and having the right people on board.

You have to take the time to live in a place to collect all the pieces, develop a vision. You can't just go to Home Depot and buy everything.

When someone wants to freshen up their home a bit, and they don't want to spend a ton of money on construction, I always tell them to start off with paint. A fresh coat can really change the whole look of a home.

I love 'Extreme Makeover Home Edition.' It feeds my Fantasy Dream Home monster that lives inside of me.

We became amazed with Property Brothers at how many kids watch and love the show. We'll even have 4- and 5-year-olds walk up on the street and say, 'Mom and Dad, look: it's the Property Brothers.'

I grew up remodeling houses with my parents, and I've started to do it again with some of my friends. So, I like to watch HGTV - 'Love It or List It,' 'Property Brothers,' 'Flip or Flop.'

I've not as yet found one hobby that would absorb me completely when I'm not working, but I have just bought a new apartment and didn't quite bargain for the amount of effort and time and money that that absorbs.

I'm actually very good with Home Depot-handy type of paintwork.

The type of renovation I do most often is opening a kitchen to the family room.

I love doing kitchen renovations where we're opening up the kitchen and creating open-concept main floors. I think that's one renovation that really changes the way people live in their homes.

If I had more time, I'd watch more woodworking or home-improvement shows, but, not enough hours in the day.

'Design Star' was incredible, and I didn't think it could get any better, and then 'Color Splash' happened.

These rooms are decorated in two days. It's all kept secret. The neighbors spend the night in each other's home. They don't see their finished room until the end of the second day. They have no say what happens in their own home.

I really like Jeff Lewis and 'Flipping Out' and 'Interior Therapy.' I don't know why I'm obsessed with American real estate and renovation.

Houses are one of my passions. I probably should have been an interior decorator.

I like people to really get a feel for the house before they do anything to it.

I love HGTV. I love the Food Network.

I do house things. I paint. I do portraits. I also paint my house.

I have an expensive hobby: buying homes, redoing them, tearing them down and building them up the way they want to be built. I want to be an architect.
