Does anyone else watch House Hunters International?? I love this show. They just had an ep on Sweden. Lovely mix of old and modern. But the oddest bathrooms to me, well odd as in different but nice. Loved the different types of toilets lol.

Me TOO!!! I've put all the ones from Spanish-speaking countries on DVD, and I use them in my Spanish classes. (We do a chapter on houses and the kids do their own "house hunt" through a web site I set up. They actually look online at houses for sale in Spain, Ecuador and Costa Rica.)

I enjoyed the Prague one last week too -- but boy the apartment they chose tonight was gorgeous!! That kitchen was incredible -- and all those fireplaces were to die for!

Oh how kool Teach! Yeah I love the regular one and this international one. The Prague one, wow those were some old buildings with those plastic walls. Not really my taste. And those apts or condos are very expensive.

I know -- the Prague one made me VERY grateful for the beautiful home I have w/6" walls! Our first house on 3 acres cost less than those ittby bitty apartments! I noticed that w/almost all the European ones, though -- much spaller spaces.

Must be -- makes sense when you think that most of the countries "across the pond" are the size of our states here.

I've been watching alot more HGTV lately. I love I Want That Bath and the kitchen one. Now if I only had the money... And Curb Appeal I love too. These shows give me tons of ideas, I just have no follow thru lol.

HGTV desperately needs a new decorating show. Maybe this new one will fill a gap that Trading Spaces has left from just being on too long.

Personally, I still love Trading Spaces. Any time they go to a different house, for me, the show is still fresh. New people, new tastes, new ideas. I got the color for my living room from one of Vern's rooms! :-) However, MORE shows would be nice! :-)

I also like Designer's Challenge -- three ideas for the same space, and even if the homeowner doesn't pick one that I like, I still get ideas from it.


Between HGTV and the FOOD network, I don't need any other channels (except for reality shows! LOL)

Star will be hosting the NY House Hunters. Not sure if this is a one show deal or not. Watched the HH in Belize I think it was? The h/o didn't pick the house I liked lol. I liked the last house with the thatched roof and gorgeous colors. But the girlfriend got on my last nerve, she didn't like anything.

Has anyone seen Flip this House? I like that too.

Mocha, I don't know how often House Hunters is shown but the AH blurb on it said she was hosting "for a week" and they taped her while she was taping "episodes", I think they said

PS they also talked about the fact that she and Al have put their apt up for sale and are looking for a larger apt with at least two bathrooms and more closet space :-):-) so this show was perfect timing for her

Ahh ok thx Jan. I thought I read somewhere that she's moving to the west coast? Could've just been rumor though.

I like that show too Ginger and Landscapers Challenge. Love the Flip shows too.

Hope she isn't on for many episodes -- although if she's doing Suzanne Wong's job, we don't see her much. (**keeps fingers crossed**)

I love the flip shows too, but my dad can hardly stand to watch Property Ladder because of some of the bone-headed mistakes they make! LOL I always get a kick out of how poorly they all budget! Does no one know how to go to Home Depot and PRICE first and set budget NEXT?

Cindy Adams had this to say about Starr today:

Maybe it's for the four House & Garden TV segments she's nailed on "How to Get a Fabulous Apartment."

The junk artist was so crazy that she seemed like a plant. No way could she make it to the finals.

House Hunters is doing their international shows this week. I watched the Costa Rica one which was good but the house the h/o picked looked like a fortress from the outside lol.

I watched several of these, they are interesting in that we Americans (and Canadians too) have different expectation levels in the homes. I am amazed at what is considered average in some of these places.

Plus I thought it was hysterical that you have to have a physical to get a loan in France.

I watched a House Hunters the other night, where the gentleman owned a huge (and beautiful) country estate in England but wanted also to have an apartment in London to be closer to business. Can I marry him?

Sorry, Mamie -- he's mine and I'm not into polygamy. :-) Oh, and before anyone asks -- that guy w/the mansion in Kalamazoon who relocated to Argentina. He was my first husband and he left me the castle!
