Are all the episodes in Toronto? I just started watching this semi-regularly recently and I always wondered where they are.

And is it just me, or does the "love it" designer seem to get very little done with very big budgets? I watch some of the other shows on HGTV, and they can modernize twice the rooms with half the money she can. She seems "above" staining cabinets or using less expensive materials. She just rules out rooms completely when an unexpected cost comes up.

A $70,000 budget for renovations only increases the value of the house by $80,000? Um… yea, it's because NOTHING was done to the kitchen while she spent $5,000 on a new closet.
