So cell phones are extraterrestrial technology. Have you seen the pictures of the original Nokia phone? They're symbols instead of letters. It's ancient, thousands and thousands of years ago, but it was found. You got to look this up. There's actual pictures. It's so cool. Unless they've censored it. IPhones originally used to be called knees. Used to be a device where certain beings could communicate with the gods, which were extraterrestrial. People have no idea where cell phones came from.

Commercial Break Host
On this episode of the commercial break.
- [02:07]
Decorating Sense Host
Welcome back to Decorating. Since where we are in the middle of a Cy Winship makeover. It's kind of a bohemian living room. And that mirror looks great.
- [02:13]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I did not call that bohemian.
- [02:15]
Brian Green
There is nothing bohemian about that. I mean, I've known a lot of bohemian people and they have much better taste. Eclectic, but much better.
- [02:23]
Chris Hoadley
Oh good.
- [02:24]
Decorating Sense Host
I did not think we could top the mirror, but this is. Come on, take a guess.
- [02:30]
Chris Hoadley
It's either an ottoman, a weird pillow, or a TV.
- [02:35]
Decorating Sense Host
Yeah, see, that's right.
- [02:37]
Brian Green
A TV cover. Oh, oh, you covered your TV back then. This wasn't that long ago. It was 2007.
- [02:45]
Commercial Break Host
The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
- [02:54]
Brian Green
Oh, yeah. Cows and kittens. Welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the co host of this show, Chris and Joy Hoadley. Best to you, Chrissy.
- [03:02]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Best to you, Brian.
- [03:02]
Brian Green
Best to you out there in the podcast universe. Yeah, Chrissy. And I just. Well, quickly talking about Perry Pharrell or Peripheral, if you think about it, because I met Perry Farrell one time down a little five points, and he said his name was Peripheral. So there you go. As in Peripheral Vision. The story of Jane's Addiction is a wild one.
- [03:26]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It really is.
- [03:26]
Brian Green
Yes. And if you ever have a chance to. If you ever have like 38 minutes of your life to waste and you're high, probably on heroin, you can go and listen to Letters to Xiola, which is a prelude to three Days, the song Three Days. They are a concept art band is rock band is really what they are. Think of them as like a Pink Floyd updated to the 80s and 90s. They started in the 80s. They became popular in the 90s with Ben caught Stealing and that video that goes along with Ben Caught Stealing and they become wild.
- [04:07]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
They became catchy tune.
- [04:08]
Brian Green
It's catchy tune. The mountain song. Ben Caught Stealing Three Days. It is formative as far as I'm concerned in my interpretation of music and what it can be. It tells a story. Three Days is an epic song. It's like 12 minutes long and it goes. It's like a symphony. Goes through different, you know, overtures, and it's beautiful. And his voice is haunting in a lot of his songs, but he is a looney tune. Let's make no doubt about it. He. He has. I mean, as all tortured creative types are, including myself. So I know this well. Perry has had some issues over the years. He has had. There's. He's no stranger to drugs. I believe he's been sober for some time. I don't think you make it to 78 years old.
- [04:55]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
He used the Lollapalooza runs. Lollapalooza.
- [04:59]
Brian Green
He put Lollapalooza together. It was originally his idea to get a bunch of bands together. Jane's Addiction, part of the first and the second and maybe even the third Lollapalooza. Then he brought it back from the dead after it kind of fell apart. Now he's got two versions of it. One in Brazil and one in Chicago that they do every year. And it's loved. It's beloved. The Lollapalooza brand is still very much Al, but Jane's Addiction has been on again, off again for many, many years. That's nothing new for them. They are like the Pink Floyd. They are Pink Floyd. They are a concept art rock band and they get together and they break up every 15 minutes, and you just never know what's going on with them. Like nine months ago, ten months ago, they were out playing a show in Chicago, I believe, I think, and. Or maybe it was New York. I can't remember. They had an on stage altercation.
- [05:55]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [05:57]
Brian Green
Perry Pharrell started to punch Dave Navarro. Dave Navarro. Now, they've been at each other's throats since the band began. Dave thought he was the head of the band. Perry thought he was the head of the band. They went blah, blah, blah. But this was like a wild interaction. And it's online. It's. There's. It's. There's video of it you can go watch. If you haven't already seen it, you can go watch it. Well, now the members of the band are suing Perry for $10 million, saying that he took money out of their pockets by derailing the entire tour.
- [06:24]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah, because they had just had. They just kind of started.
- [06:27]
Brian Green
They just started again. I think they even had a new. Some new music that was coming out. All kinds of stuff. Listen, Perry is not at the top of his game. 69 years old. He's not at the top of his musical game. None of them are. I mean, let's just age. That's age in general. I'm also not at the top of my podcasting game, and I'm going to get worse from here. So let's just.
- [06:47]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Let's just call it expectations.
- [06:48]
Brian Green
Yeah. Set expectations correctly. That's right. I remember. I want to say it's 1996 or 7. They had been broken up for a couple of years. They got back together. They were coming to Atlanta to the ballroom here in Atlanta. And the ballroom was like, literally an old bowling alley that had been cleared out. And they would. The Electric Ballroom, they would put people in this space that was huge, cavernous. And then they. There was like, no seats. No.
- [07:24]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah. There was an Electric Ballroom in Knoxville, too. And it was like an old warehouse.
- [07:27]
Brian Green
Yeah. Electric Ballroom Atlanta. Oh, is it still around? Oh, no, no, it can't be around. New. New. New. New. New. New. New. No. 1500 seat capacity. Anyway, so Jane's Addiction came here and we went. We managed to score tickets, $30 tickets, and we went to this Jane's Addiction show. And I'll never forget this show. Why won't I forget this show? I will never forget this show because 1997. November 15, 1997. I'll never forget this show because I had a chain around my wallet, and my chain was taken from me. They would not let me go in. I had to take the chain off my wallet. And that's when I broke free from the chain. Break free from the chain.
- [08:17]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
You never put it back?
- [08:18]
Brian Green
No, I put it back on occasion. I would wear it on special occasions. Weddings, funerals, stuff like that. Bar mitzvahs. But that was a wild show. There were strippers dancing in corners of the ballroom. The band was hot. They were on fire. Perry never had the best live voice. It was always kind of all over the place. But I remember being. It was. The show was wild. I loved it.
- [08:41]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I could have imagined.
- [08:42]
Brian Green
Yeah. Just 1500 of us watching them play the hits. But it's sad because I think that had they stayed together and had Perry been kind of more together upstairs that he would have. They would have put out more great music, especially during those years when they were really hot back in the 90s and. And maybe even the early 2000s porno for pyros was good. We make great pets. Stuff like that. Yeah. So anyway, you know, here's to hoping that the guys can find a way to reconcile and seems not.
- [09:11]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
No, it's like, not.
- [09:13]
Brian Green
But let's be honest about it, at his age, you know, are they going to go out another, Like. I mean, that's not the kind of music. I don't know. Then I say that. But then rolling. Then Keith Richards is still doing it. You know, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe they get back to. Maybe he can get back on the high horse. And by high horse, I mean heroin horse. Maybe he gets back on that heroin horse and we can all get some good music out of him again. But do yourself a favor. You want to know about how wild and wonderful and wacky Peripheral gets, go listen to Letters to Xiola, which I listened to one night when a silky, sultry woman took me to her lair and put that on, and we got high as fuck. It was a wild night. A wild night. And we listened to it, like, four different times because you got to listen to it. To start, it's his letters to this lady who. His girlfriend who passed away. And how she. I don't. I don't know. They've been put their body together. Who knows? You go figure it out.
- [10:10]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Okay.
- [10:11]
Brian Green
Okay, so do that. All right. Now, speaking of dead things, I'm going to jump on a bandwagon here that's been beaten to death, but I like it, so I'm going to jump on it.
- [10:23]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Speaking of dead things.
- [10:24]
Brian Green
Speaking of dead things. Speaking of dead things, I'm going to jump on a horse that's been dead for a while. It's been beaten to death. And why not? You heard it here last on the commercial break. For a number of weeks, maybe months, people have been circulating an old HGTV show called Decorating Sense.
- [10:44]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
C E N. Yeah, I think I remember that show.
- [10:47]
Brian Green
Okay, I do not. Until people started, I. I don't. I do not. I did not know about it in the first place, but when people started circulating video of it, I thought it was crazy that this is one of these early home renovation shows where you would invite somebody into your house, and the premise of the show is they have like $200 to renovate an entire room of yours. Now, you can imagine, even back in the 90s, I think, when this was filmed early 2000s, how much $200 can get you. And the things that they come up with are odd at best. At best, odd, if not totally insane. These are things you would not do to any house if you wanted to redecorate it. But this is what they do. And this was an actual show, and it went around for a while, and now everyone's remembering that time that this show was on and how crazy it was that they were decorating houses with, you know, paper mache and grass and.
- [11:45]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah, they had to get creative old.
- [11:46]
Brian Green
Dog bones and get. Okay, so let's watch an episode together. We're starting a little early in the episode because I want to see if we can get through the entire episode. It's about 27 minutes long. You want to do it?
- [11:57]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Let's do it.
- [11:58]
Brian Green
Let's do it. And by the way, there are so many people that are out there doing this. I mean, a lot.
- [12:02]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Oh, really?
- [12:02]
Brian Green
Yes.
- [12:03]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
This is new to me.
- [12:03]
Brian Green
Well, there you go. Well, you're not on social media, so not very much. Not enough. Christy.
- [12:09]
Decorating Sense Host
Next on Decorating Scents, the homeowner of this small space gets a lesson in living large.
- [12:15]
Laura Murphy
I lovingly call it at the Chateau because it just is so tiny.
- [12:18]
Decorating Sense Host
We're going bohemian modern for under $500 in our no money.
- [12:23]
Brian Green
God, were we that bad at decorating back then?
- [12:25]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [12:25]
Brian Green
Thank God for Chip and Joanna Gaines, which let Me say this about Chip and Joanna Gaines. I just want to say this for a minute. And I didn't know this, and now I know this, and I'm really happy to say this, that Chip and Joanna Gaines, I guess, have not been shy about discussing their evangelical Christian beliefs. I didn't know that. I had no idea. Like everybody else in the world, I've seen enough Chip and Joanna to last me a lifetime. I haven't watched their show in five, six, seven years. But now they have the new channel.
- [12:54]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
They do Magnolia. I like that channel, actually.
- [12:57]
Brian Green
And I hear that some parts of Austin are dedicated to Magnolia. All of Magnolia. It's like, it's like they decorated the entire town. They made it famous, essentially. I think they were really on the forefront of Austin, Texas becoming a hot.
- [13:09]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Is it Austin? Are they in Austin? I don't think they're.
- [13:11]
Brian Green
I think so.
- [13:12]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I don't think it's Austin.
- [13:13]
Brian Green
I think it's right outside of Austin. Okay, I. I know they have.
- [13:15]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I know it's Texas, but.
- [13:16]
Brian Green
Okay, so they have a new show. They cast a gay couple with a son in that show. And then a bunch of famous evangelical preachers knocked Chip and Joanna for this. Chip and Joanna are not in the show. They just own the channel, which the show is on. Their executive producers. And Chip went right at him and was like, oh, it must be nice that people who don't even know the Lord are getting their first taste of judgment from those who are preaching it. Right?
- [13:48]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah. Good for him.
- [13:49]
Brian Green
He went right at it. And I was reading the tweet or the social media responses that he was giving to this and I thought to myself, good for you, Chip. Yes, good for you. There you go, buddy.
- [13:59]
Decorating Sense Host
Makeover. What to do when one room serves three purposes and in trash to treasure. We'll turn you on to some great ideas for old light fixtures.
- [14:16]
Brian Green
It is a lot of music, isn't it?
- [14:18]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Tambourines thrown in there.
- [14:20]
Decorating Sense Host
Hi, everybody, I'm Joan Stephan. Welcome to decorating sense. 30 year old Laura Murphy is artistic in every way but decorating. A former actress, now theater publicist, she would love to have her home reflect her outgoing, slightly offbeat personality. And by the end of today, she will have a living area worthy of applause. Despite its small size, Laura's 1928 house holds a big place in her heart.
- [14:44]
Laura Murphy
It's my little cottage in the city. My little one bedroom bungalow. And it's my haven.
- [14:53]
Decorating Sense Host
Okay, settle back, grab your popcorn. We are going on it.
- [14:56]
Brian Green
That is decorated in a style that I. It's hard to explain. It's Laura Ashley meets Laura Ingram meets Dr. Laura.
- [15:07]
Decorating Sense Host
Tour.
- [15:09]
Brian Green
It's terrible.
- [15:09]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [15:10]
Cy Winship
A little tour.
- [15:10]
Decorating Sense Host
A little tour.
- [15:11]
Laura Murphy
Here's the living room.
- [15:12]
Decorating Sense Host
Lovely.
- [15:13]
Laura Murphy
And then behind us is the master bedroom.
- [15:15]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Those chairs are like right up to each other.
- [15:17]
Brian Green
I know.
- [15:17]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
If you're sitting there in those chairs.
- [15:19]
Brian Green
Your knees are knocking together. Yeah. This really is a very tiny house. No, knock on the tiny house. Love the tiny house. Think of all of it. But look at the. Look at the air conditioning controller on that house. Yeah. You actually have to physically turn that with a twist tie or something.
- [15:34]
Laura Murphy
And just right over here is the kitchen.
- [15:36]
Decorating Sense Host
Ooh, spacious.
- [15:38]
Laura Murphy
And the dining room.
- [15:40]
Decorating Sense Host
Laura says bigger is better when it comes to gardening. But housekeeping.
- [15:44]
Laura Murphy
I like it being so small because I don't have to clean as much, truth be told.
- [15:50]
Decorating Sense Host
What about decorating?
- [15:51]
Laura Murphy
I've moved the furniture so many times. There isn't another way that I can move the furniture to.
- [15:57]
Brian Green
Yeah, how. How do you move furniture around a 50 square foot?
- [16:01]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [16:01]
Brian Green
I mean, if. If you're not. You're not watching this on YouTube, then you should know that this is a very small place. But there's no decorating sense to it whatsoever, in my opinion. And this is coming from a guy, I mean, who has posters on his walls. You know what I'm saying? I'm no decorating sense either.
- [16:20]
Laura Murphy
Make it feel spacious, you know, I don't know. I don't know if that's really the thing. I know, I know.
- [16:26]
Decorating Sense Host
Style wise, Laura likes to mix it up. She's partial to reds and golds. Is your theatrical side coming out at all in your.
- [16:34]
Laura Murphy
You know, I've got the opera posters. I have actually work in the theater district. I feel like it's so, you know, theater and music is so much a part of who I am that, yeah, I definitely want that to be reflected in my home.
- [16:47]
Decorating Sense Host
Laura spends a fair amount of time working from her home. Her secret desire, space to entertain.
- [16:54]
Laura Murphy
Well, I've been here for about three years.
- [16:56]
Brian Green
Yeah, that's not good.
- [16:57]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I can't give up on that dream.
- [16:59]
Brian Green
Yeah, well, you don't have to give up on that dream.
- [17:00]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Maybe there's a big backyard or an.
- [17:03]
Brian Green
Additional 5,000 square feet you can put on the front of.
- [17:06]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [17:07]
Laura Murphy
And I've never had any sort of a gathering. I didn't have a housewarming party. And so I hardly ever have more than two or three people over at a time because. Where would you put them?
- [17:18]
Decorating Sense Host
We'll leave that up to our designer, Siwash. A Big imagination. Very small car. What do you have? What do you have?
- [17:27]
Chris Hoadley
A design board.
- [17:28]
Decorating Sense Host
What do you have?
- [17:29]
Brian Green
Oh, my God. Look at that. A design board with twill, sheepskin rickets.
- [17:34]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
A poster board with some ideas.
- [17:37]
Brian Green
Chip and Joanna, this is not.
- [17:40]
Decorating Sense Host
I have no idea what I'm looking at. But it's bold and it's bright red.
- [17:44]
Brian Green
Orange. She's theatrical. Why is her house beige?
- [17:47]
Decorating Sense Host
She's afraid of color, apparently.
- [17:49]
Brian Green
But she. Who trusts the guy who shows up in a brown T shirt with paisley pants to decorate there, not be afraid.
- [17:58]
Chris Hoadley
After this, we're not afraid of color.
- [18:00]
Decorating Sense Host
What do we have in there?
- [18:01]
Chris Hoadley
Well, let's open the boot.
- [18:02]
Decorating Sense Host
We are gonna need help.
- [18:03]
Brian Green
We need help.
- [18:08]
Decorating Sense Host
This whole thing holds a lot. Speed it up there, John. Wait a minute. Didn't we see these before?
- [18:15]
Chris Hoadley
There's more.
- [18:15]
Decorating Sense Host
How many do you have?
- [18:17]
Chris Hoadley
35.
- [18:17]
Decorating Sense Host
35 chairs.
- [18:20]
Chris Hoadley
I don't care if it's a small room. It's gonna be a lot of seating.
- [18:26]
Decorating Sense Host
Finito. Finito.
- [18:27]
Brian Green
So far, I think he's just taking trash out of the trunk. Chrissy, what in the world? Is there anything worth putting that's coming out of that car?
- [18:36]
Decorating Sense Host
Scientist.
- [18:37]
Brian Green
We're about to find out. What's that?
- [18:39]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
We're about to find out.
- [18:39]
Brian Green
Oh, here we go.
- [18:40]
Decorating Sense Host
Act one, scene one. Taping. Really taping.
- [18:45]
Brian Green
Lots and lots of taping.
- [18:46]
Decorating Sense Host
Stripes everywhere.
- [18:47]
Chris Hoadley
Oh, yeah. This is gonna be a process.
- [18:50]
Decorating Sense Host
We use a level to pencil on our lines. What makes most sense. Staying true to the baseboard or staying true to the level. Of course, nothing is as easy as it seems, especially with 80 year old walls. As long as the stripes are the same width all the way around, they're gonna be so dominant. Yeah, I sound like I know what I'm talking about.
- [19:10]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
All right, he's putting some painters tape on.
- [19:12]
Brian Green
Putting some painters tape. Looks like they're going for stripes in the house.
- [19:15]
Decorating Sense Host
Perfect.
- [19:17]
Chris Hoadley
They'll never know I'm here. And perfect.
- [19:23]
Brian Green
I. I don't. I don't want stripes anywhere in my house.
- [19:25]
Decorating Sense Host
I am red.
- [19:26]
Brian Green
I'm brown.
- [19:27]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah, you got to be careful with that.
- [19:29]
Brian Green
Look at those colors.
- [19:29]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Know the colors now.
- [19:31]
Brian Green
Oh, my God.
- [19:31]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Brown, red and orange.
- [19:32]
Brian Green
Shit. Brown. Blood red. And commercial break. Orange.
- [19:37]
Decorating Sense Host
I know.
- [19:38]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I've always loved Halloween vibe.
- [19:40]
Brian Green
Yeah, no shit.
- [19:41]
Decorating Sense Host
This red's called heartthrob.
- [19:43]
Chris Hoadley
You are a red hat.
- [19:45]
Decorating Sense Host
But nothing like this. I think I'm actually closer to orange than I am to red. Psy says the key to making bright colors pop is to pair them with neutrals.
- [19:54]
Chris Hoadley
I'm freaking out.
- [19:56]
Brian Green
I'M freaking out. That's not even good painting. What are they doing?
- [20:00]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I don't know what they're doing.
- [20:01]
Brian Green
This is what you get for $500, goat.
- [20:04]
Decorating Sense Host
Now, if I can only convince him of that.
- [20:07]
Chris Hoadley
Why do I do this?
- [20:08]
Decorating Sense Host
What are you worried about?
- [20:09]
Brian Green
I act as if I know what I'm talking about when it comes to style. But I do know that you should probably not paint the trim of your house and the walls of your house the exact same color. Unless that color is white. You know what I'm saying?
- [20:21]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
The brown is an awful brown color.
- [20:23]
Brian Green
It really is.
- [20:24]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Doo doo brown.
- [20:24]
Brian Green
It is doo doo.
- [20:26]
Chris Hoadley
What am I worried about?
- [20:27]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
He's gone for a whole wall of it.
- [20:29]
Brian Green
He's done a whole shit. Here's my shithole fast food restaurant comes.
- [20:34]
Chris Hoadley
To a small, sweet little cottage.
- [20:36]
Decorating Sense Host
Oh, it's gonna be beautiful.
- [20:38]
Brian Green
It's.
- [20:39]
Decorating Sense Host
It's.
- [20:40]
Chris Hoadley
Thank you.
- [20:40]
Decorating Sense Host
It's gonna be dramatic. It's gonna be daring.
- [20:44]
Chris Hoadley
We just want your burgers.
- [20:46]
Decorating Sense Host
Exactly.
- [20:47]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
The first rule of decorating is a new coat of paint. But I don't think they chose the right combo.
- [20:53]
Brian Green
I would pick one color and stick with it. You gotta understand, if you're listening to this, they literally put lines in randomly on the wall and decided to paint four different colors. It looks like the Venezuelan flag. What is going there?
- [21:07]
Decorating Sense Host
And 80 bucks later. This room is gorgeous.
- [21:11]
Brian Green
No, no, no, no, no, no. That looks like a. I take my kids to some play places at, like a Burger King, and that's what it's.
- [21:19]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Burger King collars.
- [21:22]
Decorating Sense Host
Curtain call already?
- [21:24]
Brian Green
Yep.
- [21:24]
Chris Hoadley
Red wool drapes.
- [21:26]
Brian Green
I mean, we're doing. We want drama. Yeah, this is drama.
- [21:31]
Chris Hoadley
She's in the theater.
- [21:31]
Brian Green
Let's add yet another color to this multicolored wall. Another color.
- [21:36]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
That heavy wool.
- [21:37]
Decorating Sense Host
Oh, you know, so it's fabulous material. Just four bucks a yard at a fabric outlet. This wool provides the same softening effect as velvet for a lot less. A non traditional tie back finishes the look.
- [21:52]
Brian Green
Oh, my God. This looks like someone threw up on the wall. This poor lady. I wonder how quickly some of these people change this after leave. Yeah, I mean, listen, if someone came in and said, I'm going to do this for free, I'm going to spend $500. I'm going to change this room. And I knew that as. As soon as they left, I was okay to change it to something else, you know, hey, why not? If I can just change it back to the way it was, why not? All right, let's take a break. We'll be back with more hgtv decorating scents. Jumping on a bandwagon here, kids. So far, so good.
- [22:22]
Decorating Sense Host
You make this rather snappy, won't you?
- [22:23]
Brian Green
I have some very heavy thinking to do before 10 o'. Clock.
- [22:26]
Rachel
Hi, cats and kittens.
- [22:27]
Decorating Sense Host

Okay, back watching decorating. Since we're here with some girl who lives in a small she's hired or let these people into her house to destroy it. Here we go. They're currently hanging blood red curtains in a multicolored wall that's painted like a Burger King.
- [26:36]
Chris Hoadley
And when it's not a tie back. You open your curtains like to that far. It's a trim piece.
- [26:43]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Oh, that's gorgeous.
- [26:45]
Decorating Sense Host
High drama for low payout.
- [26:48]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Now there's a reason all this cheap.
- [26:50]
Brian Green
There's a reason why. There's a reason why this is so inexpensive is because no one wants it. It's terrible.
- [26:56]
Decorating Sense Host
Time to turn Laura's bookcases into room dividers. We remove the particle board backing room dividers.
- [27:02]
Brian Green
What?
- [27:03]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I mean, I don't know how much room you have to divide.
- [27:06]
Brian Green
Get a Chinese screen. You know what I'm saying? This is silly.
- [27:10]
Chris Hoadley
That is what these go in here. We're gonna put two of them on. They're old freebie legs. Yeah we'll mount them there.
- [27:19]
Brian Green
Love it.
- [27:20]
Chris Hoadley
Cool.
- [27:21]
Decorating Sense Host
One done, one to go.
- [27:23]
Brian Green
I think these guys were, like, the worst decorators in town. And they also got paid $200 to do this.
- [27:30]
Decorating Sense Host
Meanwhile, I get to work adding detail with peel and stick leading strips and glass beads. It's wiggly and I'm not supposed to stretch it. Oh, no. Now it's stuck.
- [27:40]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
What is that?
- [27:40]
Decorating Sense Host
Tape will hold the beads in place until the glue dries.
- [27:43]
Brian Green
They are literally adding fake trim to the inside of windows. With glass beads.
- [27:50]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
With a glass bead in the middle.
- [27:51]
Brian Green
Yeah. No, the people on the Internet are right. This is one of the worst decorating shows I've ever seen.
- [27:56]
Decorating Sense Host
Is that straight? Look? Tell me it's straight. It is.
- [28:01]
Brian Green
Okay, good.
- [28:02]
Decorating Sense Host
Not bad for four bucks. And our recycled bookcases are looking pretty good too.
- [28:10]
Brian Green
Oh, my God. Great, Chrissy.
- [28:11]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
That's really bad.
- [28:12]
Brian Green
I've never seen anything like that in my life.
- [28:14]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
They've matched the doo doo brown to the bookcase.
- [28:18]
Brian Green
Yes. When I got a divorce from Julia, she mercifully came over hard in hand and decided to help me decorate. But by decorate, she put like, you know, a lamp on a table, you know, told me where to put the furniture, you know, stuff like that. But it was definitely, definitely decorated by a man. You. I mean, it was definitely lived in by a man. You could tell there was nothing on the walls. I had a picture of my family in the corner. One table, lamp and furniture. Yeah. You remember? Okay. There you go. I stepped it up a little bit when I moved to the next place, but that's because I moved in there with a woman. Also, I have never even come close to being this bad at decorating. You have to try to be this bad at decorating.
- [29:04]
Decorating Sense Host
We add not one, but two rugs cut from a single remnant.
- [29:07]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I mean, it would look way better without that doo doo brown. I don't know. They've made that a theme in the whole thing.
- [29:12]
Brian Green
I think just take out the multicolor altogether. If you're gonna go doo doo brown, just make it all doo doo brown. You know what I'm saying? Go full shit colored walls.
- [29:22]
Decorating Sense Host
Bucks for the pair.
- [29:24]
Chris Hoadley
Okay, so I'm driving along the street in a very nice neighborhood.
- [29:28]
Decorating Sense Host
Yeah.
- [29:29]
Chris Hoadley
And there these are all piled up on the boulevard.
- [29:32]
Decorating Sense Host
Most people would keep driving, but not Cy, who slip covered the whole thing using a vintage.
- [29:38]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
He's casing neighborhoods for throwing out trash.
- [29:41]
Brian Green
He's going to the rich neighborhoods to look for trash. Well, hey, listen, can't argue with I. I got nothing against that. I wouldn't pick furniture, like things I would sit on personally. But I've seen some stuff on the side of the road that had I not been afraid of getting hurt by somebody, I would have picked up. You know what I'm saying? It happens all the time. And listen, no argument there, but this is not what you pick up from the side of the room.
- [30:05]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I'll point out, too, that he's picked out two cream chairs that are very low to the ground. And then bring out the brown.
- [30:11]
Brian Green
Bring out the. Bring out the shit. Yeah. Bring out the diarrhea. Let's put it on the chair.
- [30:16]
Chris Hoadley
Fabric is beautiful. It's called an old poodle poodle frise because It's a loopy 1950s chocolate brown. Could it be any better?
- [30:26]
Brian Green
The chocolate? Yeah, it's hot chocolate.
- [30:29]
Decorating Sense Host
It's a lot of work, but for.
- [30:30]
Chris Hoadley
20 bucks, it pays to drive around with a pickup.
- [30:35]
Brian Green
She has friends over and everyone can.
- [30:37]
Decorating Sense Host
Lie down, watch the tv.
- [30:40]
Brian Green
That's terrible.
- [30:42]
Decorating Sense Host
A set of nesting tables freshened up with a coat of paint stands in.
- [30:45]
Brian Green
Let's throw in a McDonald's yellow into the mix. Now that we've got all the colors of the shit rainbow. Let's throw in after McDonald's diarrhea.
- [30:54]
Decorating Sense Host
There's a coffee table, but if you want a really unique table, you use whatever the heck this is.
- [30:59]
Chris Hoadley
What do you think they are?
- [31:00]
Brian Green
Any ideas?
- [31:01]
Decorating Sense Host
You know what? I've been looking at it and. Oh, you want it? Thanks, Jeff. I think Wallpaper printers.
- [31:08]
Brian Green
Wow, you're good.
- [31:09]
Chris Hoadley
You're very close. Wallpaper embosser side didn't change a thing.
- [31:13]
Decorating Sense Host
Not even the color of these embossers. Jeff simply cut a base and top from plywood, and now we're assembling them using screws.
- [31:21]
Brian Green
Oh, my God. It's.
- [31:23]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It's so bad.
- [31:24]
Brian Green
It looks like you bought that at a circus. Yeah, that looks like something they would make for a Disney World ride when they were trying to get it to look like a different time period. Do you know what I'm saying?
- [31:34]
Decorating Sense Host
And if you thought that was unique, you gotta tell everybody about this little piece of chocolate insanity because it looks like candy is stuck to this. It's so cool. Isn't it terrific?
- [31:45]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It's a little more brown.
- [31:46]
Brian Green
Yeah, more doo doo brown. And now it's got. Got small dildos on the front of it.
- [31:51]
Chris Hoadley
It is.
- [31:51]
Decorating Sense Host
We're giving Laura a place to stash her electronics using a couple of cast offs I picked up for next to nothing.
- [31:58]
Chris Hoadley
The DVD player will go in here. Her speakers can go in there.
- [32:02]
Decorating Sense Host
And those wacky bumps. Clay spacers from an old kiln. That is what I was talking about.
- [32:08]
Brian Green
Clay spacers from an old kiln. Who's looking at an old kiln? My father in law's printing more stuff, in case you were wondering.
- [32:16]
Chris Hoadley
Isn't that amazing what you'll find in a friend's garage?
- [32:18]
Brian Green
Ooh, ooh, ooh. Where are.
- [32:21]
Chris Hoadley
Gimme, gimme, gimme.
- [32:21]
Decorating Sense Host
We're using more of them to create a funky frame for a mirror. And we're gluing them on.
- [32:25]
Chris Hoadley
We're gonna glue them on.
- [32:26]
Brian Green
And then another free more dog turd.
- [32:29]
Chris Hoadley
Brown from a friend's basement. He said, you want this old convex mirror.
- [32:33]
Decorating Sense Host
It's like, who doesn't want an old convex mirror?
- [32:35]
Chris Hoadley
Had Jeff cut this. And that's what we'll do.
- [32:43]
Brian Green
I would pay somebody to take this out of my house. If this happened to me, I would pay somebody to take this out of my house.
- [32:48]
Chris Hoadley
Oh, yeah, it's this whole thing of, like, found objects. You know what's. It's free. Can I make it into something?
- [32:55]
Brian Green
I love that.
- [32:56]
Chris Hoadley
Sometimes decorating is about breaking into your friends garages and taking everything that's not nailed down and deciding later what it can be.
- [33:05]
Decorating Sense Host
Well, we are $241 closer to giving our homeowner's living room a modern bohemian look. When we return, hopefully we'll be done with this mirror and then we will move into the dining room. And then we're going to bring back Laura.
- [33:17]
Chris Hoadley
Oh, boy.
- [33:18]
Decorating Sense Host
Coming up next, how to get an art gallery look for less.
- [33:21]
Brian Green
How to put more brown in your brown haze.
- [33:24]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
All over that brown.
- [33:25]
Brian Green
This is terrible.
- [33:26]
Decorating Sense Host
Plus, a surprise housewarming for Laura. And in our no money makeover, what to do when one room serves three purposes.
- [33:37]
Brian Green
Okay, well, I look forward to that. I look forward to that gem.
- [33:42]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
This really was bad.
- [33:43]
Brian Green
This is really bad. Oh, is this a. This might be a commercial spacer because. Oh, there we go.
- [33:53]
Decorating Sense Host
Welcome back to decorating. Since where we are in the middle of a Cy Winship makeover. It's kind of a bohemian living room. And that mirror looks great.
- [34:00]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I did not call that bohemian.
- [34:01]
Brian Green
There is nothing bohemian about that. I mean, I've known a lot of bohemian people and they have much better taste. Eclectic, but much better.
- [34:10]
Chris Hoadley
Oh, good.
- [34:10]
Decorating Sense Host
I did not think we could top the mirror, but we have. This is. Come on, take a guess.
- [34:17]
Chris Hoadley
It's either an ottoman, a weird pillow, or a TV.
- [34:21]
Decorating Sense Host
Yeah, see, that's right.
- [34:24]
Brian Green
A TV cover.
- [34:25]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Oh.
- [34:25]
Brian Green
Oh, you covered your TV back then. This wasn't that long ago. It was 2007.
- [34:31]
Decorating Sense Host
TV cozy. Psy covered a box made from foam core with a layer of felt.
- [34:35]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I thought that was, like, foam.
- [34:36]
Brian Green
Yeah.
- [34:37]
Decorating Sense Host
He's using reinforced strips of the same felt and glue to create sort of a woven effect.
- [34:43]
Brian Green
That is weird.
- [34:44]
Chris Hoadley
It's a nice. Probably downtime. You know, after you've had some major.
- [34:49]
Brian Green
Surgery, you've got a couple months to yourself.
- [34:51]
Decorating Sense Host
Well, we continue on here.
- [34:53]
Brian Green
I think this is the guy at art school. I have a couple kids at 70, and a few of them are really tactful about their art. And then a few of them just take all the colors of the rainbow, textures, colors, and they mix them together, and that's. They're much like their father in that way. Just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. I feel like this designer is that guy.
- [35:15]
Decorating Sense Host
Jeff has another project, rematting Laura's black and white photos with orange mattes back in the living room. The photos look awesome.
- [35:24]
Brian Green
Oh, my God.
- [35:26]
Decorating Sense Host
Word to the fashion savvy, if you have yourself a tv, you should make yourself a TV cozy.
- [35:32]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
A TV cozy?
- [35:34]
Brian Green
Yeah. Do you wonder if the host is in on this? Like, how bad this really is? Or is she just as oblivious as the designer?
- [35:41]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I think she's getting paid to be the host.
- [35:43]
Brian Green
I think you're right about that. It's awesome. It's awesome. Look at that.
- [35:47]
Decorating Sense Host
You look so happy in your earrings.
- [35:49]
Brian Green
Ow, ow, ow.
- [35:50]
Decorating Sense Host
Okay, they're not real earrings, but they are real crystals discarded from a broken chandelier.
- [35:55]
Chris Hoadley
So I got these paper shades, painted.
- [35:58]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Them with extra wall colors with more brown.
- [36:01]
Brian Green
With more brown.
- [36:02]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I mean, he's all over that brown.
- [36:04]
Brian Green
Oh, my God.
- [36:05]
Chris Hoadley
I punched some holes with a needle.
- [36:07]
Decorating Sense Host
And a lathe kit.
- [36:09]
Chris Hoadley
Bottom line, these are like lead crystal. Someone said, ah, hate this thing. And I said, well, you know, goodness, I'll take it and make something out of it one day. And guess what? One day came.
- [36:22]
Brian Green
I bet this guy. I bet he's a hoarder. I bet at his house, there's just, like, so much shit.
- [36:30]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I still don't know why you need the TV cozy.
- [36:32]
Brian Green
I don't know why either. It's pretty common that people have TVs in their family rooms, living rooms. Yeah. You don't need to hide it.
- [36:40]
Decorating Sense Host
Moving on to the dining room, Jeff begins prepping display boxes outside while Cy and I do a little rearranging inside.
- [36:47]
Chris Hoadley
And this amusement.
- [36:49]
Brian Green
More brown. Brown on brown on brown.
- [36:51]
Chris Hoadley
Play area is used.
- [36:53]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
There's so much brown in that whole play area.
- [36:57]
Brian Green
She said she wanted theater colors. Is brown a theater color?
- [37:01]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Not that I know of.
- [37:02]
Brian Green
Not that I know of. But then again, I prefer this thing from a theater kid.
- [37:05]
Decorating Sense Host
Here come those boxes. Okay. And that is just the beginning. We are putting how many of these cubes on the wall?
- [37:11]
Chris Hoadley
14.
- [37:12]
Decorating Sense Host
14 of them.
- [37:13]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
14 of them.
- [37:13]
Brian Green
14C on a wall.
- [37:16]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Brown.
- [37:17]
Brian Green
Brown. When you have 100 square feet and the cubes are one foot by one foot by one foot, sticking one and a half feet out the wall.
- [37:24]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yes, you take away space.
- [37:25]
Brian Green
Yes, you're taking away all the space.
- [37:27]
Decorating Sense Host
That's the cube. Here is the plan. It involves math. I am out of here. Here's a conversation piece for you. It is a styrofoam wig head. Some cinnamon candy. Polyurethane spray.
- [37:40]
Brian Green
Cinnamon candy.
- [37:42]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
A wig head. A styrofoam wig head.
- [37:45]
Brian Green
A styrofoam wig head.
- [37:47]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
With Red Hots all over it. Glued all over it.
- [37:52]
Brian Green
You couldn't trust me around that. I'd start eating them, that wig head would be gone.
- [37:57]
Decorating Sense Host
And now it is artwork. But why stop at one wig form when two is twice as nice? Make it three. You've got a collection.
- [38:05]
Brian Green
Oh, those things are waking up in the middle of the night and chewing on your neck. I'm sure of it. That's fucked up.
- [38:12]
Decorating Sense Host
Anything will do. From apples to oranges.
- [38:17]
Brian Green
Yeah. Let's put real fruit on our living room shit boxes. That's awful.
- [38:23]
Chris Hoadley
For the ultimate in discount art. Clean out your.
- [38:25]
Brian Green
That is a dildo.
- [38:26]
Decorating Sense Host
That is a dick basement.
- [38:29]
Chris Hoadley
Paint everything the same color white and put it on the boxes.
- [38:35]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Clean out your what?
- [38:36]
Brian Green
Clean out your basement. The dildos from your basement. Paint them white and stick em half erect on your dick. On your shit boxes.
- [38:45]
Decorating Sense Host
Granted, it's not everyone who has a friend giving away free chandeliers, but size.
- [38:50]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It sounds like he got all this stuff from other places.
- [38:53]
Brian Green
Or his basement.
- [38:54]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Or his friends.
- [38:56]
Decorating Sense Host
Now this is a dining room set. You cannot help but notice this. What's the story?
- [39:01]
Chris Hoadley
Thrift store table. Free set of school chairs. And the same color as the wall paint. Heartthrob in a lack.
- [39:07]
Brian Green
Free set of school chairs.
- [39:10]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Heartthrob.
- [39:11]
Brian Green
Heartthrob. I have to kneel to have breakfast.
- [39:14]
Chris Hoadley
Red. And we've got a beautiful set.
- [39:16]
Decorating Sense Host
Added a little embellishment over there.
- [39:17]
Chris Hoadley
Little craft balls for detail.
- [39:19]
Decorating Sense Host
Yeah, yeah, it's cool. More white accents. Top off the table. And finally, accessories all around.
- [39:29]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
More mannequin heads.
- [39:31]
Brian Green
Oh, man.
- [39:35]
Decorating Sense Host
He'S got purr. And that's not all. Check out these gorgeous pillows. Sy Made.
- [39:42]
Brian Green
Look at that one.
- [39:44]
Decorating Sense Host
Look at that. Oh, they are awesome. A few more touches and we are done.

Decorating Sense Co-Host
Oh, throw in a pink lamp.
- [39:50]
Brian Green
Oh, yeah. Throw in a bright pink lamp on the doo doo Brown with the McDonald's orange and the Wendy's yellow.
- [39:57]
Decorating Sense Host
My gosh.
- [39:58]
Brian Green
Oh, my.
- [39:59]
Chris Hoadley
We are done.
- [40:00]
Decorating Sense Host
I know. What were we?
- [40:01]
Brian Green
I had those exact same shoes he's wearing, by the way. I just want to throw that in there.
- [40:04]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Okay.
- [40:05]
Brian Green
So that him and I share the same design sensibilities here. I'll back up just a little bit. Those shoes.
- [40:12]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Okay.
- [40:12]
Brian Green
Yeah, I like them very much. They're very comfortable.
- [40:14]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [40:15]
Chris Hoadley
We are done.
- [40:16]
Decorating Sense Host
I know. What were we trying to do?
- [40:19]
Chris Hoadley
Bohemian modern.
- [40:20]
Brian Green
I think that's what it was. Oh, I think it's there.
- [40:23]
Chris Hoadley
I can't believe this room. I love the art wall with the apples.
- [40:27]
Decorating Sense Host
That was the best. I love it with the white.
- [40:29]
Brian Green
I think the white wall. Oh, the best. Look at all those different. That is one weird room. They have really made this trippy bohemian. Not Ansel Adams.
- [40:45]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Not.
- [40:46]
Brian Green
Not. What's the guy's name? The guy who does all the trippy artwork.
- [40:51]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Salvador Dolly.
- [40:52]
Brian Green
Salvador Dali, for sure. That's where it went. All right, let's take a break. We'll be back with more decorating. And this turned out to be the show everybody's talking about. Yep. It's just as bad as they say. It's this.

Thanks for selling your car to Carvana. Here's your check. Whoa.
- [41:58]
Chris Hoadley
When did I get here?

Back to it. Decorating Scents Here we go. Final home stretch. Let's see what they had. Let's see the big reveal.
- [43:50]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Oh yeah.
- [43:50]
Brian Green
Let's see how the owner cries after she finds out that her her terribly decorated house went to holy bad decorated house.
- [43:58]
Decorating Sense Host
It's cool. Your pillows are insanely good.
- [44:01]
Chris Hoadley
They are really dear.
- [44:03]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
And the pillows are bad.
- [44:05]
Brian Green
That's right. If you took just the pillows and put them on a decent couch, I would say that I would be happy with that. If you could just do that to my house and leave the rest outside for someone else to take a brown couch couch down.
- [44:20]
Chris Hoadley
I'm sorry if we did nothing else but make her comfortable in front of the tv.
- [44:26]
Decorating Sense Host
We've done our job. How much did you spend?
- [44:30]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
You have to lift up the cozy.
- [44:32]
Brian Green
Yeah.
- [44:35]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I did. Get over the cozy.
- [44:37]
Brian Green
The weirdly shaped, oddly decorated cozy for your tv. Because who wants to see a TV when you're watching tv.
- [44:46]
Decorating Sense Host
Thank you for free stuff is what we have to say thank you for free stuff. I don't want to get up off her couch, but I know we have to go get her.
- [44:54]
Brian Green
I think.
- [44:54]
Chris Hoadley
Yeah, we have to go get her.
- [44:55]
Brian Green
And bring her in.
- [44:55]
Decorating Sense Host
Okay.
- [44:56]
Laura Murphy
Oh, my gosh.
- [45:00]
Brian Green
Did she just open her eyes in the middle of her own room? That was a weird edit, wasn't it?
- [45:05]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [45:06]
Brian Green
Usually they, like, walk you in the door or something. All of a sudden, they just show her opening her eyes in her room.
- [45:11]
Decorating Sense Host
Oh, my gosh.
- [45:12]
Cy Winship
You weren't kidding.
- [45:13]
Decorating Sense Host
I know.
- [45:14]
Brian Green
Oh, my gosh. You weren't kidding. Someone took a holy shit in my room. Sorry. It's so different.
- [45:22]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It is so different.
- [45:25]
Brian Green
I think I love it for the camera.
- [45:29]
Decorating Sense Host
It's terrible. Who says you can't always get what you want? We tapped the hidden potential in this bland.
- [45:34]
Brian Green
Well, we do have to remember how bad it was before.
- [45:37]
Decorating Sense Host
This is true bungalow with unexpected color, loads of texture, and a touch of theatrical flair.
- [45:44]
Brian Green
This just doesn't even look like the same place.
- [45:47]
Laura Murphy
I'm totally floored.
- [45:48]
Decorating Sense Host
Before, Laura's oversized chair and loveseat were too big for this small space. Now a sectional puts.
- [45:55]
Brian Green
Now, now boxes on the wall take up the rest of the space.
- [46:00]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
And make everything brown.
- [46:02]
Brian Green
Yeah. Now a sectional takes up more space than the other chairs did.
- [46:06]
Decorating Sense Host
You know, While colorful pillows and funky.
- [46:08]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Accents provide in a camera guy. I can move around.
- [46:10]
Brian Green
I know. While dark walls make it look smaller than it was before.
- [46:15]
Decorating Sense Host
Escape from the ordinary.
- [46:16]
Laura Murphy
Look at the chandelier.
- [46:19]
Brian Green
Look at the chandelier with the plastic Christmas lights on top of it. Plastic Christmas lights. And you think I'm joking. I'm not. Look at that.
- [46:27]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I know.
- [46:28]
Brian Green
That's what. That's what people in the 80s put in their windows as votives during Christmas time.
- [46:35]
Chris Hoadley
Oh, my boxes. It's your art wall.
- [46:38]
Laura Murphy
I'm almost trying to not to cry.
- [46:40]
Brian Green
I love it so much because I am going to have to do so much work to change this. Thank you so much. I'm almost trying not to cry.
- [46:52]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
There's weird heads everywhere.
- [46:54]
Decorating Sense Host
Just how do you feel in a room like this?
- [46:57]
Laura Murphy
I feel super hip and cool.
- [47:00]
Decorating Sense Host
Well, we do have one more surprise for you.
- [47:02]
Brian Green
Oh, no. We left you with the bill. We charged it all to your credit card.
- [47:10]
Decorating Sense Host
Okay, everybody. The housewarming party Laura always dreamed of.
- [47:16]
Natural Cycles Ad
You're fabulous.
- [47:18]
Decorating Sense Host
Dare I say another great makeover for under $500. But I do hope you stay tuned while we have a little housewarming party, because coming up next, an interior redesign. Cut the cake.
- [47:27]
Natural Cycles Ad
Let's go.
- [47:28]
Brian Green
Cut the cake. Get me the Fuck out of here.
- [47:30]
Natural Cycles Ad
Yeah.
- [47:31]
Decorating Sense Host
Just ahead, our redesigned tackles a New York apartment with one room for working, eating, and. And, oh, yeah, living. And later in the show.
- [47:40]
Brian Green
What's that?
- [47:41]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It's called a studio.
- [47:42]
Brian Green
Yeah, it's called a studio apartment. They're pretty common in New York, I think. All right, let's fast forward to this part.
- [47:46]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Oh, God. Yeah, this was bad.
- [47:48]
Brian Green
Yeah.
- [47:52]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
No cost.
- [47:53]
Decorating Sense Host
Decorating Washington Heights on the northern tip of Manhattan is where actress.
- [47:57]
Brian Green
Well, now you get to pay $7 million to live in Washington Heights.
- [48:00]
Decorating Sense Host
I think Lori Haley Fox lives.
- [48:02]
Brian Green
I just love my neighborhood up here.
- [48:04]
Decorating Sense Host
It's a real family oriented place.
- [48:06]
Brian Green
And even though I'm still in Manhattan, it's just nice. Wow, those teeth.
- [48:11]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [48:11]
Brian Green
Are a.
- [48:12]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
They're big and they're white.
- [48:14]
Brian Green
They're like George Washington teeth. Weren't his made out of wood or something like that? I mean, no offense, maybe she had an accident or whatever, but it's. That's a veneer job.
- [48:23]
Decorating Sense Host
Still a neighborhood. She has a small one bedroom apartment.
- [48:27]
Brian Green
My living room area pretty much is everything. It's my dining room. It's my office space. It's my living room.
- [48:34]
Decorating Sense Host
And she's been busy decorating since she moved in two years ago. I painted everything.
- [48:39]
Brian Green
I like color. I have this sort of angled so that I could separate the area from the eating area and the office space. I love Eastern philosophies and things. I have a lot of Buddhas and things in here, which I enjoy my end. Yeah, most people actually get Buddhas, not like actual pictures of Buddhas in tin frames. But. Okay. Tables and my coffee table are actually kind of important to me. They were my mom and dad's first pieces of furniture when they got.
- [49:07]
Decorating Sense Host
Well, yeah, she likes her stuff, but she's not sure it's in the right place.
- [49:11]
Brian Green
What I don't like is that it's a little bit boxy. I just think there's a better way of doing it.
- [49:16]
Decorating Sense Host
And the dining area doesn't get much dining.
- [49:19]
Brian Green
I only use it if somebody's here and I'm having dinner.
- [49:21]
Decorating Sense Host
Our redesigner can help.
- [49:22]
Cy Winship
So I know she has three purposes for this room. But in this case, separating the room with the couch. The dining room is totally ignored. The conversation space too spread out and the walkway way too tight.
- [49:35]
Decorating Sense Host
We get busy. Everything out but the TV and the sofa.
- [49:39]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Thank God you don't have that other guy coming back and paint everything brown.
- [49:44]
Brian Green
At least the paint rollers are not there.
- [49:46]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [49:47]
Cy Winship
So I want to try a new.
- [49:48]
Decorating Sense Host
Position, which is our first.
- [49:50]
Brian Green
Oh, well, that's what she said.
- [49:52]
Decorating Sense Host
Challenge. What's your thought?
- [49:53]
Brian Green
Yeah, I guess it's okay.
- [49:55]
Decorating Sense Host
Now for the two chairs, I want.
- [49:56]
Cy Winship
To try actually bringing the TV down the wall and maybe do the chairs on either side.
- [50:01]
Brian Green
Okay.
- [50:02]
Decorating Sense Host
How do you feel about that?
- [50:03]
Cy Winship
It's totally different.
- [50:04]
Brian Green
It's definitely more intimate.
- [50:05]
Cy Winship
My big thing was reversing that sofa, getting it on this side of the room and opening up this space. Now I can integrate the dining room into the seating group. You want to do it?
- [50:15]
Decorating Sense Host
Yeah. Okay.
- [50:16]
Cy Winship
I like it.
- [50:18]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Integrate it.
- [50:19]
Brian Green
Go. Integrate.
- [50:22]
Cy Winship
You had the rug in here, but all the furniture was all around.
- [50:25]
Decorating Sense Host
Yeah. None of it was on it, so.
- [50:27]
Cy Winship
Now it really kind of feels, like, open.
- [50:28]
Brian Green
Okay.
- [50:28]
Decorating Sense Host
We can all sit on the rug together. We get our tables in place.
- [50:32]
Cy Winship
Can you get out now?
- [50:33]
Brian Green
Bounce back.
- [50:35]
Decorating Sense Host
All special pieces from Lori's parents.
- [50:37]
Cy Winship
Now they kind of take center stage.
- [50:38]
Decorating Sense Host
Yeah. Which is great.
- [50:39]
Brian Green
Good.
- [50:40]
Decorating Sense Host
We're lifting the sides of the dining table to give it more presence.
- [50:43]
Cy Winship
I'm thinking we put the dining room on the rug.
- [50:46]
Decorating Sense Host
That'd be great.
- [50:46]
Cy Winship
And then I want to get a longer chain and swag your candelabra out and get it out from the wall.
- [50:52]
Brian Green
That'd be great. Yeah. I'm not sure this has changed anything about this room, but. Okay. My living area and my dining area are one big area now. I saw nothing like a creepy Buddha sitting behind you on a. On. On a couch.
- [51:15]
Cy Winship
Your bedroom.
- [51:16]
Brian Green
Yes.
- [51:17]
Cy Winship
Some bigger pieces of art.
- [51:18]
Brian Green
Yeah.
- [51:18]
Cy Winship
And I'm hoping that we can use them in the.
- [51:20]
Decorating Sense Host
Great. Yeah, let's go. Okay, good.
- [51:22]
Cy Winship
When we started, the art was so small and hung way too high. There was a lot of negative space, and it didn't even really relate to the seating groove. Now we're hanging some larger pieces.
- [51:33]
Brian Green
I mean, here's my question. Like, even. Like, I know this is 20 years ago or so. 19 years ago. 18 years ago. Don't you have, like, an Ikea you can run to and grab a little bit of. Of, you know.
- [51:48]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [51:48]
Brian Green
More modern furniture. Yeah. Target, where there's some throw pillows or a $30 chair or something like that. Yeah. And. And again, I am no decorating expert by any stretch of the imagination. Thank God for Astrid. But. And I know our house has no decorating specialty either.
- [52:05]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It's beautiful.
- [52:06]
Brian Green
But every once in a blue moon, you go to the store and you pick up a couple knickknacks and you change things around a little bit. This is. These are really poorly decorated places. In the first place.
- [52:14]
Cy Winship
Bring some height and drama to the room and it feels so much more sophisticated.
- [52:19]
Brian Green
Yeah, that looks awesome.
- [52:20]
Cy Winship
With the accessories, we're really bringing in Lori's personality. Before, all the things she loved were just scattered on the floor, and now we're giving them a place of prominence.
- [52:29]
Decorating Sense Host
And the dining area is also getting the attention it deserves.
- [52:32]
Cy Winship
Yeah, a little lower. You can see it in the mirror.
- [52:34]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah. Which is nice.
- [52:35]
Brian Green
Hey, you hit your head on that. Yeah, no shit. And that's not even a real chandelier. It doesn't have any lights in it. No.
- [52:41]
Cy Winship
This table all the time.
- [52:43]
Brian Green
Great.
- [52:44]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
This might be candle we stole.
- [52:45]
Brian Green
Yeah, I guess those are the candles.
- [52:47]
Decorating Sense Host
Sectioning off the Nothing.
- [52:48]
Brian Green
Like setting the entire apartment building on fire station space.
- [52:51]
Decorating Sense Host
And it wasn't working. Now take a look.
- [52:54]
Cy Winship
The room still has three purposes. A dining room, an office, and a conversational space. But now we've integrated all of it, and nothing feels closed off or ignored. Now anywhere you sit, you can enjoy the whole room.
- [53:07]
Brian Green
It's just great because now all the areas complement each other. Nothing's coming off anymore. It's just one great big festive space. Oh, yeah. I want to jump right in, take a nap in there. That's all right. Well, you know, hey, listen, Chrissy, to each their own. This is definitely the train wreck show that everybody has been talking about. There's no doubt about it. And so there you go.
- [53:30]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
We saw for ourselves.
- [53:34]
Brian Green
Hey, but Pete Davidson's having a baby, so we're all happy. That's all. That's all that really matters.
- [53:39]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Cheers to Pete.
- [53:40]
Brian Green
Not even sure we talked about that on this episode, but it's all starting to bleed together at this point. A little bit. Oh, all right. Well, there you go. Decorating sense. Find it on YouTube, because that's where it is.
- [53:53]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It's as bad as you think it is.
- [53:56]
Brian Green
Oh, yeah, there's no doubt. Whenever. And there's episodes where people on Instagram specifically. Specifically. Have taken bits and pieces.
- [54:04]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
Yeah.
- [54:05]
Brian Green
Put it together, commented on it. Real designers, people that have a good design idea for design, and they are super funny. So if you want to get a real laugh out of decorating sense, get the condensed milk version out there on Instagram. Everybody's doing it. It's the hot trend right now to make fun of decorating sense, for decorating sense. But it is pretty bad. I mean, I can't even believe they let this run, but this is long before. Before HGTV was a thing, right? Yeah.
- [54:31]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
It was in its infancy.
- [54:32]
Brian Green
The 500 was all they had because no one was advertising on hgtv. I wonder where this woman is now, the lady who hosted the host.
- [54:40]
Decorating Sense Co-Host
I was thinking the same thing.
- [54:42]
Brian Green
She's somewhere. Not on hgtv, but somewhere. Yeah, she's probably on Canadian TV doing something. Anyway. All right, merch drop coming soon. Pay attention. Follow us on social media media at the commercial break on Instagram TCB podcast on TikTok or pay attention to the website@tcbpodcast.com that merch drop will happen.
