now that's neighborly.

One of the things I like to watch on HGTV is Debbie Travis Facelift.

I was watching an episode where she redid the bedroom of a neighbor and friend of hers, because the woman, by her own admission, was hopeless at decorating.

The bedroom was a nightmare. If you could possibly call them decorating styles, the decor was a mishmash of at least 10 or 20 different kinds.

But of course, by the time Debbie and the team were done with fixing it up, it was a dreamy getaway.

When the woman returned from her trip, and was surprised to see the Facelift team in her house, and the bedroom all done up, she told Debbie that she'd given up on ever having this exact thing come true.

Because she was friends with Debbie, and knew how tricky the show was about surprise renovations, she said that everytime she'd gone out of town for the last 3 years, she'd expected to come home to find a wonderland awaiting her.

And every single time she'd come home, during that three year period, she'd be disappointed.

So she quit expecting and hoping, and her wish finally came true.

That's such a television ending!
