HOME DEPOT

Television shows make it look so easy. One minute a kitchen looks like any old run of the mill kitchen. Within a half hour the place looks like Emeril's own personal cooking space. It drives you crazy, doesn't it?

The folks at Home Depot may not steal into your family room, take charge and whip the place into an interior decorator's passionate handiwork. But they'll get you whatever you need so you can do it yourself. Just make sure you follow Bob Vila's advice, not Tim "The Toolman" Taylor's.

Runners-up: Lowe's and Parker Brothers
