HGTV's reDesign is one of the few shows where the design renovation results seem finished and well thought out (opposed to the "running against the clock" mode every other show seems to promote). Host Kenneth Brown seems to take his time on the projects...an opinion fortified by his own slow going process of renovating his own 1927 Hollywood Boulevard loft conversion that he's documenting on his own blog. More than one year has passed and he's still playing with the layout of his loft using masking tape? Santa, bring this man a package of decisiveness already. [via Curbed LA]

I miss his show. His projects always come out so well. And they're truly varied. Candice Olson's projects give the impression that people seek her out because of *her* style. Kenneth fulfills project that come out distinctly different. You get a sense of a how a designer has to appease the client and roll with the punches as a project unfolds.
I find him tedious...now I know why.
I really enjoyed his show and was wondering if there would be new episodes. But I think he needs someone to redo his wardrobe and hair highlights. The majority of his designs looked well thought out and polished. Too many of the design shows appear too rushed and unprofessional.
Why isn't his show still on? I really enjoyed it. I want Kenneth back. He is so California!
He looks like a blond Joel Olsteen.
Anyway... I like his show, but he tends to stay with the army greens/greys/blues. I like the outcome of his designs, but it would scare me senseless if he worked for me.
Patience is a virtue often overlooked in the order-it-today-arrives-tomorrow world of instant decorating. If we all had more patience (call it what you will), there would be better rooms to live in.
