Review of Restored by the Fords

I find this show amazing and not in a good way. While every HGTV show has its own patented look that results in a numbing sameness to the final designs, this one goes further by stripping out the character, painting everything white and adding some uncomfortably modern furniture. But what really is astonishing is the complete lack of storage in the kitchens. Not a single upper cabinet to be seen--just a few open shelves with artfully arranged tchotchkes. A handful of lower cabinets. No pantry. Where do the homeowners put the Cheerios, travel coffee mugs, measuring cups, mismatched mixing bowls, etc? There is absolutely no storage in any of her kitchens! These kitchens are not meant to be used by real people. And I laugh when I see her white canvas paintings on a white wall as "art." This gimmick is repeated in every house. What in the heck is that? It is silly! I've stopped watching this show because I can't stand how unlivable the houses are--what a waste of the homeowners' money. I do think Leanne dresses interestingly but the vibe between her and her brother is downright creepy.
