Speaker 1: Kf I am six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp
Speaker 1: The house Whisper on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You
Speaker 1: know this very program, also the house Whisper podcast that
Speaker 1: you can listen to anytime, anywhere on demand, hundreds of episodes,
Speaker 1: all searchable by topic. Your home improvement reference library. That's
Speaker 1: what we've built for you here. And if you're thinking
Speaker 1: to yourself, you know what, I love everything that you
Speaker 1: talk about on the show. But you know what I
Speaker 1: really need is for you and Tina to show up
Speaker 1: at my house.
Speaker 2: Actually that might work.
Speaker 1: If you need some personal house Whisper attention, you can
Speaker 1: book a three hour in home design consult with me
Speaker 1: and t the one and only t Just go to
Speaker 1: house Whisperer dot design and you will find all the
Speaker 1: details there. If that's something that you are interested in.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to our conversation about well,
Speaker 1: actually we're going to get back to our conversation about
Speaker 1: eclectic design. But right now, top of the hour, it's
Speaker 1: time to go to the phones. I want to talk
Speaker 1: to Gene. Hey, Gene, welcome home.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, how can I help you?
Speaker 3: I came home from Thanksgiving to find a pinhole leak
Speaker 3: into my garage and called my plumber out, and we've
Speaker 3: decided that since my house is like thirty seven years old,
Speaker 3: it's time for a total repipe, because I've had pinhole
Speaker 3: leaks in several other places too over the years. So
Speaker 3: I've got a quote from one person who's using pecks,
Speaker 3: and I had a second one come in that was
Speaker 3: kind of not confident with the type of pecks he's using.
Speaker 2: Is the best?
Speaker 3: Should I insist on just upidoor or is there other
Speaker 3: manufacturers that are just as good as pecks.
Speaker 1: It's it's really okay, okay, so PEX piping. Just to
Speaker 1: set the stage here, Jean's got a house thirty five
Speaker 1: years old copper piping, and it's begun to pit from
Speaker 1: the inside, which means it's not been busted by anybody.
Speaker 1: It's just literally starting to seep leak out of these
Speaker 1: tiny pits. Because especially when it comes to copper in
Speaker 1: the ground, copper is not a lifelong.
Speaker 2: Thing that we used to think that it was.
Speaker 1: It's got about a twenty twenty five year lifespan to
Speaker 1: it before trouble starts occurring, So time to repipe. Can
Speaker 1: a repipe overhead using pex pes cross stranded polyethylene tubing
Speaker 1: and PEX as a concept. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: And it's not so much the manufacturer gene that I
Speaker 1: am primarily concerned about. It's the type okay, up and
Speaker 1: or Is, I think is the manufacturer that we use
Speaker 1: out here more than any other when it comes to
Speaker 1: PEX work in a house, because they make it, and
Speaker 1: they make it well. But what you're after is type
Speaker 1: A type A PEX, okay, because there is a type
Speaker 1: B PEX. A type B PEX has its limitations. Number one,
Speaker 1: it's not as flexible. Number two, because it's not as flexible,
Speaker 1: it cannot be attached and built into a system using
Speaker 1: expansion joints. And that is the only fitting that I
Speaker 1: use when it comes to PEX is expansion couplings, not
Speaker 1: not rings, not bans, and not clamps. We use the expands,
Speaker 1: which means there's a tool that goes into the end
Speaker 1: of the pipe and literally spreads the pipe open from
Speaker 1: the inside out temporarily. That allows you to insert a
Speaker 1: barbed fitting into that end, and then over the next
Speaker 1: literally sixty seconds, the pipe contracts around that barbed fitting
Speaker 1: and it just gets tighter and tighter. And tighter. Literally,
Speaker 1: it is the only plumbing fitting on the planet that
Speaker 1: gets better the older it becomes. Okay, I personally don't
Speaker 1: trust PEX systems that use the crimped bands on the
Speaker 1: top or hose clamps or anything like that. I've seen
Speaker 1: too many of them end up with leaks or failures,
Speaker 1: and so we only use expansion fittings and to do
Speaker 1: that you need PEX type A.
Speaker 3: Okay, great. Do you also not like the epoxy coated
Speaker 3: thing that they shoot through your pipes? I can't imagine
Speaker 3: how that would possibly work, but do you have an
Speaker 3: opinion on that process?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: So yeah, to avoid repiping sometimes, you know what, I've
Speaker 1: seen it work. I've seen it work and I've seen
Speaker 1: it work well at times, so you should if you're
Speaker 1: interested in it, you should get a quote for it
Speaker 1: as well. And that is but it's got to be
Speaker 1: not from your run of the rip mill plumber. You
Speaker 1: really need to get this from a quote from a
Speaker 1: company that does this as their specialty, because it's it's
Speaker 1: about putting epoxy on the inside of your copper lines,
Speaker 1: and it's got to be blown through at high pressure,
Speaker 1: and it's got to be a there's an art and
Speaker 1: a science to doing this, and and the problem is
Speaker 1: if the pressure isn't high enough, and if the process
Speaker 1: isn't done by an experienced epoxy installer, then it can
Speaker 1: actually clog up your pipes, you know, and reduce the
Speaker 1: interior diameter of those copper pipes so significantly that it
Speaker 1: just causes a whole world of problems unto itself. But
Speaker 1: it is a viable way of renewing a copper ground
Speaker 1: system for water, and that is blowing epoxy. And essentially,
Speaker 1: when it's blown in high pressure in just the right way,
Speaker 1: it forms an epoxy inner lining. It's like sliding a
Speaker 1: pipe inside a pipe, and it can get you years
Speaker 1: and years and years more. Now, the question is doing
Speaker 1: that with the whole house. Will that actually be more
Speaker 1: or less expensive than just abandoning the copper and running
Speaker 1: pecks overhead to locations. I can't answer that question for
Speaker 1: you because it could change based on the house, the style,
Speaker 1: the configuration, the accessibility and so on. But if you're
Speaker 1: interested in it, I always encourage everybody why not make
Speaker 1: the call windows Shopping is free, dreaming is free, and
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to a big dollar item that
Speaker 1: you're about to spend money on Why not know that
Speaker 1: you know for sure that what you have picked is
Speaker 1: the best financial and long term option for your home.
Speaker 1: So if there is this alternative treatment or therapy, just
Speaker 1: like going to the doctor and like both typically we
Speaker 1: handle your problem this way. There is this alternative treatment,
Speaker 1: I want to hear all about it, if for no
Speaker 1: other reason, so that I look at it and say, yeah, okay, no,
Speaker 1: let's go with the main therapy for this. You never know,
Speaker 1: so look at the costs, get quotes, but go with somebody.
Speaker 1: If you're thinking about the epoxy, go with a company
Speaker 1: that does it, that guarantees the results, and that has
Speaker 1: a lot of experience doing it. All right, Gene, thank
Speaker 1: you for your question and for the call. When we
Speaker 1: come back, more of your calls.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand and
Speaker 4: from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Dean Sharp, the House Whisper at your service. We're talking
Speaker 1: eclectic decor today, but right now we are taking calls.
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the phones and not
Speaker 1: waste another second. Let's talk to hey, Deborah, Deborah, welcome home.
Speaker 5: Thank you. My question is I want to convert my
Speaker 5: shower tub into a walk and shower. However, the tile
Speaker 5: that I currently three walls, I really like it, so
Speaker 5: I don't want to I prefer not to rip that out.
Speaker 5: So then what do I do about the area where
Speaker 5: the bathtub was?
Speaker 2: Hmmm, that's a good question. All right. I got a
Speaker 2: couple of questions for you.
Speaker 1: How long ago was the tile above the bathroom done?
Speaker 1: Do you have more of it? Or can you get
Speaker 1: more of it?
Speaker 5: I don't have more of it, and it would be
Speaker 5: very very hard to to try to. I can't even
Speaker 5: remember where I got that current tile.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I'm only asking because from a from
Speaker 1: a technical contracting point of view, Uh, it's not the
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not a very difficult thing to preserve.
Speaker 1: To you choose a line and the tile there, and
Speaker 1: very carefully demo what goes below it, and then if
Speaker 1: we have more of the same tile to be able
Speaker 1: to extend that down so that at the end of
Speaker 1: the whole process it doesn't look like anything was done
Speaker 1: except just tiling a shower. But that's only if that
Speaker 1: exact kind of tile is available. In the case that
Speaker 1: it's not, then you have to make a decision.
Speaker 2: If you're really.
Speaker 1: Set on saving the tile above the tub line. The
Speaker 1: question then, is you gotta make your thinking a little
Speaker 1: bit more flexible from a design point of view. Here,
Speaker 1: the question is what kind of tile can we find
Speaker 1: that compliments.
Speaker 2: Doesn't try to match it? Don't try to match it.
Speaker 1: Okay, if you don't know exactly what that tile is,
Speaker 1: don't try and get something that is almost that because
Speaker 1: very much in keeping with the principles that I've been
Speaker 1: talking about today, this principle everybody should always remember in
Speaker 1: design and decor. Uh, you've got two choices. You hit
Speaker 1: the nail directly on the head, you match it exactly,
Speaker 1: or or the alternative, miss it by a mile, go
Speaker 1: with something very complimentary but very very different. We don't
Speaker 1: want to try and get kind of close, because in
Speaker 1: the design and architectural world, a near miss is a
Speaker 1: total failure. I mean, it just looks like a mistake. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the question will be for you to h to
Speaker 1: come up with a design, a tile, a tone, a texture,
Speaker 1: a color. This is a great question in keeping with
Speaker 1: the eclectic theme of the day, that works with the
Speaker 1: tile that's up there. Okay, and then you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to pick. You may have to sacrifice, well, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to sacrifice a couple of courses of your tile
Speaker 1: in order to effectively remove the tub. Okay, there's no
Speaker 1: guarantee that we can keep every single bit of tile
Speaker 1: there to get that tub out of there. Maybe a
Speaker 1: course or two up needs to be removed to safely
Speaker 1: get the tub out and then to rewater proof behind it.
Speaker 1: But then you had to pick a point where the
Speaker 1: old tile's gonna stop. Maybe we put a detail band around,
Speaker 1: even like a wainscot, you know you would find on
Speaker 1: a house, and then drop new tile down into the
Speaker 1: pan below.
Speaker 2: That's the idea, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: And then right now the baptub spout is within the tile.
Speaker 5: Can that bathtub spout be I don't know what cut.
Speaker 6: Off, not.
Speaker 5: Stopped off or nodded off or whatever however you would
Speaker 5: say it.
Speaker 1: The bathtub spout can be completely unscrewed and removed, and
Speaker 1: you're just going to be left with a hole in
Speaker 1: the tile.
Speaker 5: Okay. And then so that that that piece of tile
Speaker 5: I need to put like maybe a medallion or of
Speaker 5: some sort in there.
Speaker 1: Something or or or you work above that line for
Speaker 1: the new tile down.
Speaker 5: Got it? Okay? Okay, Okay, all right, all right, that
Speaker 5: kind of clears my mind about how to approach it.
Speaker 5: I don't feel so intimidated. That helps, yes, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thanks Deborah, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: your call. You can just see, you know, I love it.
Speaker 1: You can see the wheels, you can hear the wheels turn.
Speaker 1: She's like, okay, okay, I'm working it out. I'm working
Speaker 1: it out, and just give her a little bit more
Speaker 1: direction as to which way tohead. Do we have time
Speaker 1: for another And we're going to make time for another call.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that right now. Who I want to
Speaker 1: talk to, Let's talk to Janet.
Speaker 6: Janet, welcome home, Hi, Hi, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 6: I looked into a house and the kitchen sink is
Speaker 6: a double and it's not useful at all because the
Speaker 6: facet overhangs the rent area and I have about an
Speaker 6: inch and a half that it overhangs the dirty area
Speaker 6: and the disposal. So I want to replace it. It's
Speaker 6: an under the sink under the counter fawcet and I
Speaker 6: was going to do it myself, but I realized that
Speaker 6: the disposal and things may need to be moved and
Speaker 6: pipes cut and you know this and that, so then
Speaker 6: I thought, well, I'll just go to home depun look
Speaker 6: and I found some nice sinks. But how do I
Speaker 6: know that's the right measurement? How do I know when
Speaker 6: I get it home? And then do I call a
Speaker 6: plumber first? Do I call it contractor So I look
Speaker 6: that up and apparently I call a plumber first. But
Speaker 6: I'm just you know, I think, and the sinks are
Speaker 6: deeper now, now they're deeper. So now I'm gonna have
Speaker 6: definitely some things rearranged underneath. And so I kind of
Speaker 6: like want a plumber to go depot and say, here,
Speaker 6: measure my sink and then come with me and help
Speaker 6: me pick a sink and then put it in. Is
Speaker 6: that what do I do?
Speaker 5: I hear it.
Speaker 1: I hear the distress and the confusion in your voice.
Speaker 1: All right, So here's the thing. This is actually pretty
Speaker 1: good news. Okay, that you have an undermount sink. An
Speaker 1: undermount sink means that the countertop is doing its own
Speaker 1: thing on top. What kind of counter do you have,
Speaker 1: by the.
Speaker 6: Way, it's probably courts or granted I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Solid yeah, solid stone countertop, whether it's synthetic or natural stone.
Speaker 1: That thing and the sink doesn't have its own edging.
Speaker 1: It mounts underneath that. So here's what I'm meant.
Speaker 6: There's some brackets and I've measured it, but I am
Speaker 6: assuming my sink needs to be thirty three inches wide
Speaker 6: based on the thirty one inches I have on top.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing under mount sinks. The good news
Speaker 1: is you got a little bit of play. Okay, you
Speaker 1: don't have to hit that one right on the head
Speaker 1: because it's under mount, which means that the countertop hangs
Speaker 1: over the edge of you know, the edge of the
Speaker 1: sink a little bit. Now, you don't have a ton
Speaker 1: of play. In other words, let's say you have I'm
Speaker 1: just going to use some arbitrary numbers here. Let's say
Speaker 1: you have a thirty inch wide hole in the countertop. Okay,
Speaker 1: thirty inches wide. It would see, it would look silly
Speaker 1: if you mounted undermounted a thirty six inch wide sink
Speaker 1: underneath it, because the countertop would be hanging over you know,
Speaker 1: three inches on each side. Okay, that wouldn't look good
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, but that thirty inch hole. Uh, if
Speaker 1: you measure the insides of sinks that you're looking at
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, this one's thirty one. That one's
Speaker 1: thirty two, and I don't know which one will work,
Speaker 1: but they'll both work fine.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: The difference of a quarter inch half an inch of overhang,
Speaker 1: they're not a big deal for the right sink. And
Speaker 1: the way that you find out what the best sink
Speaker 1: size is, you don't think about the outside with the
Speaker 1: sink at all. You want to look at on an
Speaker 1: undermount sink where it actually where the walls actually come up.
Speaker 1: So you're just going to take an interior measurement. If
Speaker 1: you got a thirty inch hole, then you know you're
Speaker 1: gonna need at least a thirty and a half or
Speaker 1: slightly larger inch wide sync so that it goes up
Speaker 1: underneath and it hides its edge underneath. The think dimension again, though,
Speaker 1: if you find something you're absolutely in love with and
Speaker 1: it's a tiny bit larger than that, it's probably no
Speaker 1: big deal at all. So you pick that and you know,
Speaker 1: and whatever depth you want, and then you let the
Speaker 1: plumber work out the rest, let the plumber work out
Speaker 1: the garbagees bols on this, and that you know you
Speaker 1: got your new big single base and sinc. You call
Speaker 1: the plumber out and you're like I want this mounted
Speaker 1: under there, go for it and get me all hooked up.
Speaker 6: All right, So I buy a sink that I think
Speaker 6: is the appropriate measurements, and then I call the plumber.
Speaker 2: Yep, okay, yeah, yeah, I would.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not saying I'm not saying that it's
Speaker 1: a terrible idea to shop with a plumber, although you know,
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's necessary in your situation at all.
Speaker 1: And and you know, if you just follow that simple
Speaker 1: advice that I just gave you there, as far as
Speaker 1: the sizing, just as long as you're just slightly over
Speaker 1: the size of the hole that's in your countertop in
Speaker 1: width and depth, you're gonna be fine. You can't go
Speaker 1: so wide as to run into the edges of the
Speaker 1: cabinet body below, So that's too big and too small
Speaker 1: is obviously too small. But you know you've got a
Speaker 1: little play there, so find the sync that you love.
Speaker 2: The reason I don't.
Speaker 1: Suggest a bad mouth plumbers, they're contractors in general, of
Speaker 1: which I am one. The reason I don't usually shut
Speaker 1: encourage clients to shop with their contractor is that the
Speaker 1: contractor they've got other interests, like how easy is it
Speaker 1: going to be for me to install this thing, and
Speaker 1: so here they are here, they are nudging you towards
Speaker 1: something that's like your second or third choice. I don't
Speaker 1: want you to do that, okay. The fact is, if
Speaker 1: it's possible, it's possible. If it fits, it fits, And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm paying you to take care of the
Speaker 1: rest of it and get that thing installed for me.
Speaker 1: That's it the end, and you get the sink that
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 6: Great, thank you. I'm so good. I don't have to
Speaker 6: do it myself, all right, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: All right, dan it You're welcome. You take care, all right, y'all.
Speaker 1: When we come back, let's talk about some more eclectic design,
Speaker 1: shall we.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1: You like that little tune right there, Tina was like
Speaker 1: doing doing a little h I was gonna say, a
Speaker 1: table dance. That's not the right thing. That's not the
Speaker 1: that's not the right way to describe it. Sitting here,
Speaker 1: she was starting to shimmy a little bit with that one.
Speaker 1: You're Home with Dean Sharp, the house whisper. We are
Speaker 1: talking about the secrets of ish and that being by
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is eclectic decre pulling off
Speaker 1: eclectic decor, which everybody he has to learn to do
Speaker 1: if you're going to make your home beautiful, because no
Speaker 1: matter how pure you think you're going to achieve a
Speaker 1: design theme in a room, real life has a way
Speaker 1: of just sneaking right in and introducing elements that aren't
Speaker 1: in accordance with that theme, but things that are important
Speaker 1: to you, and so you have to deal with them.
Speaker 1: They can be integrated into a theme. And that's why
Speaker 1: I talk about ish because it's farmhouse ish, it's cottage ish,
Speaker 1: it's colonial ish. It's not utterly pure. Okay, when has that?
Speaker 1: You know, did I mention Nazi Germany yesterday on the show?
Speaker 1: It's that the right thing to say on a decor show.
Speaker 1: You know, just this whole idea of the pure races. Oh,
Speaker 1: come on, come on, it's the twenty first century. Take
Speaker 1: a twenty three and meters and find out what a
Speaker 1: mutt you are. I mean, honestly, genetically speaking, every human
Speaker 1: being is an Ish. And uh, you know, you may
Speaker 1: be I wish Ish, right, but it's an Ish. There's
Speaker 1: a there's an Ish factor to all of us and
Speaker 1: to our lives. And to our homes. And that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that it's not beautiful. It's just a question of
Speaker 1: how are we going to treat these, uh, these diverse
Speaker 1: elements in a way that they communicate with each other.
Speaker 1: So there you have it, all right, back to our
Speaker 1: list of rules and suggestions. Oh my goodness, that was
Speaker 1: a That was a droid that just went off here
Speaker 1: in the studio. Okay, back to the list of suggestions.
Speaker 1: Here is one of the most important things that I
Speaker 1: can tell you, uh, and that is finding ish the ishness, okay,
Speaker 1: the the common ground in between two elements by seeing
Speaker 1: if you can't get them to share one significant characteristic. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll give you this is not the only kind of example,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to give you a perfect example of this.
Speaker 1: We have a grandfather clock. In In fact, you can
Speaker 1: see this clock, I think on a video that Tina
Speaker 1: posted just yesterday. Was it yesterday? When did you do
Speaker 1: the little pan of our dining room and living room?
Speaker 1: So this again, I'm going to send you back to
Speaker 1: social media and you can see this. This was not
Speaker 1: intended to be this way. We're just sharing kind of like, hey,
Speaker 1: look we got our Christmas tree up. But there's a
Speaker 1: there's a video pan on our social media home with Dean.
Speaker 1: It's probably the second post down now, and you'll see
Speaker 1: a little shot of our dining room and we've got
Speaker 1: this tall wains cutting in our dining room and some
Speaker 1: wallpaper at the end, and it's got this distinctive blue,
Speaker 1: just a blue that we love. And then we pan
Speaker 1: across a big glass door opening across our Christmas tree
Speaker 1: and over into the living room by the fireplace, and
Speaker 1: as we're crossing over, you're going to see a grandfather
Speaker 1: clock standing there. This is a grandfather clock that Tina
Speaker 1: inherited from her grandparents. Now, this is not an ancient clock.
Speaker 1: It's not an antique. Okay, it's vintage. It's it's from
Speaker 1: it's from it's from the nineteen hundreds, so it's not
Speaker 1: it's vintage technically, and that when when did they buy it,
Speaker 1: Like nineteen eighty or something, you know, And it's and
Speaker 1: it's not the you know, it's it's not the end
Speaker 1: all of grandfather clocks. But it's a real mechanism grandfather
Speaker 1: clock and it was done in kind of that classic
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties honey oak. You know, the color of everything
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. And so here's the point. The
Speaker 1: point is that colored of oak doesn't really work with
Speaker 1: our home and our decor. But this is a grandfather clock,
Speaker 1: and it means the world to and me because it
Speaker 1: meant the world to her grandparents. All right, it reminds
Speaker 1: us both of them every time we look at it.
Speaker 1: And so what did we do? Well, we took a
Speaker 1: bold move. How do you integrate this thing, this piece
Speaker 1: which comes from a different era of the rest of
Speaker 1: our decor, and it comes from and it has a
Speaker 1: different color tonality than the rest of our decor, and
Speaker 1: yet we want it and we want to belong. Well,
Speaker 1: Tina decided, you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna
Speaker 1: paint the clock. It's more important that we have the
Speaker 1: clock and that it loses its original nineteen eighties authenticity,
Speaker 1: which probably, in the case of this clock, is a
Speaker 1: good thing.
Speaker 2: But so what did she do?
Speaker 1: Since it sits across the hall, it's not fully in
Speaker 1: the living room, but it sits across the doorway from
Speaker 1: the dining room, Tina decided, let's take the blue that
Speaker 1: we painted in our dining room, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: paint the clock that blue. And now as you watch
Speaker 1: this video and pan across, you may not even think
Speaker 1: about it. Your brain just accepts it. And that's the point.
Speaker 1: That is the point of the ish ness, that's the
Speaker 1: point of embracing the eclectic decor. It really does not
Speaker 1: belong to the majority of our house theme. And yet
Speaker 1: what did Tina do. She in this case didn't find
Speaker 1: a significant characteristics that it was sharing, but she created
Speaker 1: a characteristic that it shares by painting it the same
Speaker 1: color as the room that it sets adjacent to. And so,
Speaker 1: as a result of the color matching this one characteristic
Speaker 1: of this clock, the color as a result of making
Speaker 1: that decision, Boom integrated interestingly into our home decor. And
Speaker 1: if we ever change the color, guess what, She'll probably
Speaker 1: repaint the clock. So the clock will forever live with
Speaker 1: us now and one day it will be truly an antique.
Speaker 1: But for now, the clock will forever live with us.
Speaker 1: And you know, it may if the room adjacent changes
Speaker 1: its character one day, the clock may change its character
Speaker 1: one day. Again, Tina simply gave it a coat of paint.
Speaker 1: And we've been doing those kinds of things with various
Speaker 1: elements in our home for years and years. We'll take
Speaker 1: an antique that we find somewhere and simply give one
Speaker 1: facet of it a corresponding color, and suddenly, boom, it belongs. Okay,
Speaker 1: so a great rule of thumb, look for one significant
Speaker 1: characteristic that that odd item has or could be given
Speaker 1: that integrates it suddenly into the acceptance by the rest
Speaker 1: of the theme in the room, finding the ish by
Speaker 1: sharing a significant characteristic. All right, I got more for you.
Speaker 1: You hang tight your Home with Dean Sharp the house Whisper.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from
Speaker 4: KFI AM six.
Speaker 1: Forty beingful to you that are worthy of putting on
Speaker 1: display that reflects your story in your house, and that
Speaker 1: is the essence of what a custom home is.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: I don't have any closing thought for you today other
