House Hunters International! *drool*

sharkchomp · 03-03-2010, 03:41 PM

I really enjoy House Hunters International too. Seeing how much homes cost and what they get compared to us in the U.S. Like in europe, everyone has little tiny fridges cause they go to markets everyday, so different than us. Cool show

I enjoy house hunters international as well...what often strikes me is how the buyers, those from the US it seems, are all excited to have a home in another country...they go on about how they love the culture and 'the people' of the country...*yet* very often when they see the potential homes and make their comments, they compare them to US homes and the accustomed space and amenities...like they are looking to be in another country in an american home...it's just sort of interesting...

the house hunting shows are appealing and very popular...I am still puzzled about why they are such a hit...they are fun to watch...

I am not as into the redecorating shows....there was a show where two guys would pick things up from the garbage, make something new out of it, and then return it as a surprise to the folks who had thrown it out in the first place, that was a neat idea...I like seeing what people remake...

It's trueeeee, people will be in the coolest places on Earth and they want a US style house instead of taking the chance to live in the local culture. Cracks me up!

I do admit to being fascinated by the differences in bathrooms around the globe. Ha.

Yes....I always laugh, too, when Americans go into a 'foreign' kitchen find a 2 burner stove....and no dishwasher......

And there are the kitchens that are TOTALLY empty because when the formers left they REALLY MOVED IT ALL! lol That kills me!

We, as Americans, are definitely spoiled.

There is a show that I really can't tolerate (most of the time) and that's "Design On A Dime" (I think that's the one)...where they have a budge of what? $3??? And they are making coffee tables out of popsicle sticks or something heinous like that.....and lambshades out of PAPER??? HelLO? And yes...it might look good NOW, but what about next week?

I would never have that show come into my house (and I could use some help, mind You!)......and I LOVE popsicles!

Is this the "I'll give you $5000 if you do everything I want, the way I want you too" lady?

Oh, wait. That's a budget show. She's Toppilicious too!

Diva · 03-05-2010, 12:06 AM

I put HGTV on when I get up Sat morning and run it all weekend day and night. I have used some of the ideas for color and accessories. I do like 'Holmes on Homes' not cuz he bails people out but cuz gives me hints on what not to do when I doing my own remodel!

I am have to work slow, cuz I haven't a clue! I am on such a tight budget and I am trying to 'GO GREEN'. Home Depot knows me by name!

I heart the Genevieve!
She is so much more refined than her early days of hangin moss on the walls

I've just started watching House Hunters in the last few weeks and I am totally addicted to it now.

The other day they had a couple on that were looking at 2.5 million dollar houses.

And Virgin Buyers or whatever it's called is cool too.
