TV to inspire your next do-it-yourself endeavor

If you're keen to give your home an eco-makeover, don't miss the green innovations of This New House (DIY Network), which peeks inside the nation's most earth-friendly living spaces (your cohost is Kevin O'Connor of This Old House).

If you dream of pulling up stakes and going back to the land, follow the exploits of The Fabulous Beekman Boys (Planet Green), a bickering pair of Manhattan professionals turned gentlemen goat farmers.

And if you long to pull the old easel and painter's smock from the back of your closet, tune in to Work of Art: The Next Great Artist (Bravo), a competition series from producers Sarah Jessica Parker and the team behind Top Chef and Project Runway.
