Best home-related shows for couples to watch

My house may have more than one TV, but there are times when I want to cuddle up with my husband and enjoy some mindless inspirations. The truth is we enjoy spending time together but find it very difficult in the television department. With both are NFL junkies but go down opposite roads when faced with finding a mutual program that does not involve adult cartoons or a reality housewife.

There are times when I want to watch a decorating or home improvement show, but don’t know how I can make it sound more appealing than Call of Duty. I don’t know many husbands who would willingly watch a show about swatches and paint colors. If you are in the same boat, take a look at these show recommendations. I can’t guarantee all of them will work, but have had success with some.

{HOME-RELATED SHOWS FOR COUPLES TO WATCH}

Show: Man Caves

Channel: DIY Network

Airs: Fridays at 10pm/est

Umm – what guy wouldn’t dream of having their own room to call their own?? ‘Man Caves’ brings those dreams into reality as former NFL baller Tony Siragusa and contractor Jason Cameron provide guys with an exclusive dude room in their home. Beer lights, pool tables and any other frat-inspired decorative you can think of might just make it on the show. Leave this show as your ace in the hole should he be reluctant to watch anything else.

Show: Love It or List It

Channel: HGTV

Airs: Mondays at 9pm/est

This is a great program for homeowners who have been tippy-toeing around the idea of selling their home, or making what they have work. ‘Love It or List It’ takes us inside the homes of everyday homeowners who are struggling with this very issue and call on experts David Visentin (real estate agent) and Hilary Farr (designer) to help make their decision a little clear. While David shows potential homes, Hilary works hard with a crew to revamp their current space (within their budget). In the end, they must decide if they love the renovation enough to stay, or found a new home and want to list.

Show: Restaurant Impossible

Channel: Food Network

Airs: Wednesdays at 9pm/est

Who knew that the Food Network would have a quasi-decorating show worth watching? ‘Restaurant Impossible’ takes viewers on a journey with acclaimed chef, Robert Irvine as he travels across the country to help get restaurants out of the sinker. Working on a limited budget of $10,000, Irvine and posse flex their muscles (he is really fit) and culinary talents to revamp menus and give the restaurant a face lift. This show offers a great mix of power tools and savory foods.
