I happened to catch an episode while surfing the channels in a hotel room last month. I LOVE this show! Not only does it take high-end to a whole other level, it seems that the rooms are more beautifully and tastefully decorated than the homes of its sister shows on HGTV. Sorry NY and LA but London has you beat. <br /><br />Now my dilemma. We don't have cable and have no intenton of breaking down and getting it now after a 25 year no-cable track record. Luckily there's a hotel stay in my future that coincides with the next episode. Can't wait!<br /><br /><br /><div></div>
