60 Minute Makeover

lg-promo-60-minute-makeover-1How do they do that, seriously? In 60 minutes they totally revamp at least a few rooms and they always look amazing. I know they have about 50 people shoved in there working on it but it never ceases to amaze and impress me. Plus it’s always a plus that the lovely Craig Phillips of Big Brother 1 UK fame is on there, with his sweet little face and chirpy Liverpudlian accent reminding me of the good old innocent reality TV days :)

The only problem I have with watching 60 minute makeover is that it always makes me want to makeover a room in my house, even though we redecorated when we moved in a few months ago — I still want to get new wallpaper and bedspreads and lighting and every thing else every time I watch it :)

If I ever won the lottery and became one of the idle rich I would so hire a design team and have my whole house completely redecorated at least once every 6 months, or if money was really no object then maybe once every 3 months. Oh I would do so much ridiculous stuff if I were rich enough, I would probably be one of the most annoying people in the world!

 

Realism in Neighbours? Never!

kennedyfamily6One of the many things I love about Neighbours is the photographs you see in the characters houses — most people would probably not notice them but I do, because one of my pet peeves about other soaps is that the houses rarely seem to contain any personal items, when do you ever see coats or shoes laying around or personal photos in frames? Never is when.

Neighbours have photos in all the houses. The Kennedy household is probably my favourite for it because they have pictures of all their kids who were once in the soap but moved on to pastures new, as well as their new partners and kids that we as viewers have never met and if you look very closely you can even see a few college diploma frames , I wish I had HD TV so that I could see which of the kids it is meant to belong to, I am a complete nerd like that :P

Just a few episodes ago they took pictures of Ringo, with Zeke and Declan, at his AFL inauguration party and I just know that in a few days time they will appear somewhere in the household along with the other pictures and diploma frames :)
