Starting point is 00:00:00 People have no idea where cell phones came from. 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 gotta look this up. There's actual pictures. It's so cool, unless they've censored it. iPhones originally used to be called Miis. 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. On this episode of The Commercial Break... Welcome back to Decorating Sense, where we are in the middle of a
Starting point is 00:00:39 Sai Winship makeover. It's kind of a bohemian living room, and that mirror looks great. I would not call that bohemian. There is nothing bohemian about that. I mean, I've known a lot of bohemian living room, and that mirror looks great. I would not call that bohemian. 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. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:00:53 I did not think we could top the mirror. But we have. This is, come on, take a guess. It's either an ottoman, a weird pillow, or a TV cover. Yeah. That's right. A TV cover! Yeah! That's right. A what? A TV cover.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Oh. Oh. A box. You covered your TV back then? This wasn't that long ago. It was 2007. The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeee eeeeee e if you think about it because I met Perry Farrell one time down a little five points and He said his name was peripheral
Starting point is 00:01:51 So there you go as in peripheral vision The story of Jane's addiction is a wild one really 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 have like 38 minutes of your life to waste and you're high, probably on heroin, you can go and listen to Letters to Ziola, which is a prelude to Three Days, the song Three Days. They are a concept art band, 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
Starting point is 00:02:30 popular in the 90s with Ben caught stealing and that video that goes along with Ben caught stealing and they become wild. They became a 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.
Starting point is 00:02:59 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 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, he's no stranger to drugs. I believe he's been sober for some time.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I don't think you make it to 78 years old or whatever. And he used the Lollapalooza, runs Lollapalooza. I don't believe he's been sober for some time. I don't think you make it to 78 years old or whatever. And he used the Lollapalooza. Ron's Lollapalooza now. 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.
Starting point is 00:03:36 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 alive and kicking, but Jane's addiction has been on again, off again for many, many years. Uh, that's nothing new for them.
Starting point is 00:03:59 They are like the, um, 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, 10 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 onstage altercation. Yeah. Perry Farrell started to punch.
Starting point is 00:04:30 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, blah, blah. But this was like a wild interaction and it's online. There's video of it, you can go watch it if you haven't already seen it. You can go watch it.
Starting point is 00:04:45 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 essentially. Yeah, because they had just kind of started. They just started again. I think they even had some new music that was coming out, all kinds of stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:03 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 gonna get worse from here. So let's just call it. Set expectations.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah, set expectations correctly. That's right. I remember, I wanna say it's 1996 or seven. 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, uh, the electric ballroom,
Starting point is 00:05:45 they would put people in this space that was huge cavernous. And then there was like no seats, no- Yeah, there was an electric ballroom in Knoxville too. And it was like an old warehouse. Yeah, electric ballroom, Atlanta. Oh, is it still around? Oh no, no, it can't be around. No, no, no, no, why won't I forget this show? I will never forget this show because 1997,
Starting point is 00:06:32 November 15th, 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. You never put it back?
Starting point is 00:06:47 No, I put it back on occasion. I would wear it on special occasions. Weddings, funerals, stuff like that. 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 of a live voice. It was always kind of all over the place. But I remember being, it was the show was wild. I loved it. Oh, God, that could have magic. Yeah, just 1,500 of us watching them play the hits.
Starting point is 00:07:14 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 maybe even the early 2000. Porno for Pyros was good. We make great pets, stuff like that. So anyway, here's to hoping that the guys can find a way
Starting point is 00:07:38 to reconcile and- Seems not. Yeah. It seems like not. But let's be honest about it. At his age, are they gonna go on another, I mean, that's not the Yeah. It's like not. But let's be honest about it. At his age, you know, are they gonna go on another like, I mean, that's not the kind of music, I don't know. Then I say that, but then Rollings,
Starting point is 00:07:51 then Keith Richards is still doing it. You know, I don't know. Maybe, maybe they get back to get, 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.
Starting point is 00:08:04 You wanna know about how wild and wonderful 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 wanna know about how wild and wonderful and wacky peripheral gets? Go listen to Letters to Zyula, 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.
Starting point is 00:08:28 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 know, they put their body together. You go figure it out. Okay. Okay, so do that.
Starting point is 00:08:42 All right, now, speaking of dead things, I'm gonna jump on a bandwagon here that's been beaten to death, but I like it, so I'm gonna jump on it. Speaking of dead things. Speaking of dead things. Speaking of dead things, I'm gonna jump on a horse that's been dead for a while,
Starting point is 00:08:59 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 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, C-E-N-T-S. Yeah, I think I remember that show. Okay, I do not until people started, I do not.
Starting point is 00:09:20 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,
Starting point is 00:09:43 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.
Starting point is 00:10:05 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... Yeah, they had to get creative. Old 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? Let's do it. Let's do it And by the way, there are so many people that are out there doing this. I mean a lot. Oh really? Yes, this is new to me. Well, there you go. Well, you're not on social media. So not very much Not enough Chrissy. Next on decorating sense the homeowner of this small space gets a lesson in living large
Starting point is 00:10:43 I lovingly call it the chateau because it just is so tiny. We're going bohemian modern for under $500. In our no money. God, were we that bad at decorating back then? Yeah. Thank God for Chip and Joanna Gaines. I know. Which let me say this about Chip and Joanna Gaines.
Starting point is 00:10:59 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 did not 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. They do, Magnolia. I like that channel actually. And I hear that some parts of Austin are dedicated to Magnolia, all of Magnolia.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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 hotbed. Is it Austin? Are they in Austin? I don't think so. I don't think it's Austin.
Starting point is 00:11:42 I think it's right outside of Austin. Okay. I know it's right outside of Austin. Okay. I know they have- I know it's Texas, but- 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.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Chip and Joanna are not in the show. They just own the channel, which the show is on. They're 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? Yeah, good for him. 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,
Starting point is 00:12:25 good for you, Chip. Yes. Good for you. There you go, buddy. 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. ["TRAILER"]
Starting point is 00:12:39 Da da da. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. It is a lot of music, isn't it? Hi everybody, I'm Joan Steppin. 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.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Despite its small size, Laura's 1928 household is a big place in her heart. It's my little cottage in the city. My little one-bedroom bungalow, and it's my haven. Okay, settle back, grab your popcorn, we are going on a tour. That is decorated in a style that I can't explain. It's Laura Ashley meets Laura Ingram meets Dr. Laura.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Tour. It's terrible. Yeah. A little tour. A little tour. Here's the living room. Lovely. And then behind us is the master bedroom.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Those chairs are like right up to each other. I know. If you're sitting there in those chairs, you're really. 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.
Starting point is 00:13:55 But look at the air conditioning controller on that house. Yeah, you actually have to physically turn that with a twist tie or something. And just right over here is the kitchen. Ooh, spacious. And the dining room. And done. Laura says bigger is better when it comes to gardening, but housekeeping?
Starting point is 00:14:14 I like it being so small because I don't have to clean as much. Truth be told. What about decorating? I've moved the furniture so many times. There isn't another way that I can move the furniture to... Yeah. How do you move furniture around a 50 square foot? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I mean, if 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 have no decorating sense either. Make it feel spacious. You know, I don't know, I don't know if that's really the
Starting point is 00:14:54 whole thing, I know, I know. 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 house? 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.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Laura spends a fair amount of time working from her home. Her secret desire? Space to entertain. Well, I've been here for about three years. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. You might have to give up on that dream. Yeah, well you don't have to give up on that dream. Maybe there's a big backyard.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Or an additional 5,000 square feet you can put on the front of the house. 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? We'll leave that up to our designer. Si, which a big imagination, very small car.
Starting point is 00:15:54 What do you have? What do you have? I've got a design board. What do you have? Oh my god, look at that. A design board with twill, sheepskin, rickets. Is that a poster board with some ideas? Chip and Joanna, this is not.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I have no idea what I'm looking at, but it's bold and it's bright. Red, orange. She's theatrical. Why is her house beige? She's afraid of color, apparently. Who trusts the guy who shows up in a brown t-shirt with paisley pants to decorate their house. Not be afraid after this.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And we're not afraid of color. What do we have in there? Let's open the boot and see. We're gonna need help. We need help. This little thing holds a lot. Speed it up there, John. Wait a minute, didn't we see these before?
Starting point is 00:16:44 There's more. How many do you have? 35. 35 chairs. I don't care if it's a small room. It's going to be a lot of seating. Finito? Finito.
Starting point is 00:16:57 So far I think he's just taking trash out of the trunk, Chrissy. Rye foods and trash bags. What in the wor- Is there anything worth putting in your house that's coming out of that car? Science is magic, Winnie! We're about to find out. What's that? We're about to find out.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Act one, scene one. Taping! Really taping. Lots and lots of taping. Stripes everywhere! Oh yeah, this is going to be a process. We use a level to pencil on our lines. What makes the 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.
Starting point is 00:17:30 As long as the stripes are the same width all the way around, they're going to be so dominant. I sound like I know what I'm talking about. All right, he's putting some painter's tape on. Putting some painter's tape, looks like they're going for stripes in the house. They're mixed! They'll never know I'm here. Alright, he's putting some painter's tape on. Putting some painter's tape. Looks like they're going for stripes in the house. Perfect! They'll never know I'm here. Perfect!
Starting point is 00:17:49 I don't want stripes anywhere in my house. I am red. I am brown. Yeah, you've got to be careful with that. Look at those colors. Oh my god. Brown, red, and orange. Shit brown, blood red, and commercial break orange. I know. I've always loved red. Going for a Halloween vibe. Yeah, red, and orange. Shit brown, blood red, and commercial break orange.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I know. I've always loved red. Going for a Halloween vibe. Yeah, no shit. This red's called Heart Throb. You are a red hat. Oh no. But nothing like this.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I think I'm actually closer to orange than I am to red. Sy says the key to making bright colors pop is to pair them with neutrals. I'm freaking out. No. I'm freaking out! No! So I'm freaking out! That's not even good painting. What are they doing? I don't know what they're doing. This is what you get for $500.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Goat! Now if I can only convince him of that. Why do I do this? What are you worried about? 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? I mean the brown is an awful brown color. It really is doo-doo brown.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It is doo-doo. What am I worried about? He's gone for a whole wall of it. He's done a whole shit wall. Here's my shit wall. The best food restaurant comes to a small sweet little cottage. It's gonna be beautiful. It's thank you. It's gonna be dramatic. It's gonna be...
Starting point is 00:19:12 Daring. We just lost our burgers. Exactly. Well that is the first rule of decorating is a new coat of paint. But I don't think they chose the right combo. I would pick one color and stick with it. You gotta understand if you're listening to this, they literally put lines randomly on the wall and decided to paint four different colors.
Starting point is 00:19:32 It looks like the Venezuelan flag. What is going on there? And 80 bucks later, this room is gorgeous. 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 painted. Oh, it is the Burger King callers. Curtain call, all ready?
Starting point is 00:19:53 Yep. Red wool drapes. I mean, we're doing, we want drama. Yeah. This is drama. She's in the theater. Let's add yet another color to this multicolored wall. Another color that- And heavy wool? Oh. She's in the theater. Let's add yet another color to this multicolored wall.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Another color that you- A heavy wool? 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 tieback finishes the look.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Look. 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 these folks 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 soon as they left, I was okay to change it to something else.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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 sense. Jumping on a bandwagon here, kids. So far, so good. You make this rather snappy, won't you? I have some really heavy picking to do before 10 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Hi, cats and kittens, Rachel here. Do you ever get the urge to speak endlessly into the void, like Brian? Well, I've got just the place for you to do that. 212-433-3TCB. That's 212-433-3822. Feel free to call and yell all you want. Tell Brian I need a race. Compliment Chrissy's innate ability to put up with all his shenanigans. Or tell us a little story. The juicier the better, by the way. We'd love to hear your voice because
Starting point is 00:21:24 Lord knows we're done listening to hear your voice, because Lord knows we're done listening to ourselves.

Okay, I gotta go now. I've got a date with my dog.
Starting point is 00:21:51 No, seriously, Axel needs food. Today is pork chop day. Hey, what's up, flies? This is David Spade. Dana Carvey. Look, I know we never actually left, but I'll just say it. We are back with another season of Fly on the Wall.

And every Monday you're stuck with just me and Dana. We react to news, what's trending, viral clips. Follow and listen to Fly on the Wall, everywhere you get your podcasts. Okay, back watching Decorating Sense. We're here with some girl who lives in a small place and she's hired or let these people in our house
Starting point is 00:22:37 to destroy it, here we go. They're currently hanging blood red curtains in a multicolored wall that's painted like a Burger King. And when it's not a tie back, you open your curtains like to that far. It's a trim piece. Oh, that's gorgeous. High drama for low payout. There's a reason all this was cheap.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Legs, legs, you got the legs? There's a reason why this is so inexpensive is because no one wants it. It's terrible. Time to turn Laura's bookcases into room dividers. We removed the particle board backing. Room dividers? What? I mean, I don't know how much room you have to divide.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Get a Chinese screen. You know what I'm saying? This is silly. That is what? These go in here. Uh-huh. I'm going to put two of them on their old freebie legs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:27 We'll mouth them there. Love it! Cool. One done, one to go. I think these guys are like the worst decorators in town and they also got paid $200 to do this. Meanwhile, I get to work adding detail with peel and stick leading strips and glass beads.
Starting point is 00:23:45 It's wiggly and I'm not supposed to stretch it. Oh no, now it's stuck. What is that? Tape will hold the beads in place until the glue dries. They are literally adding fake trim to the inside of windows with glass beads. With a glass bead in the middle. Yeah, no, the people on the internet are right.
Starting point is 00:24:03 This is one of the worst decorating shows I've ever seen. Is that straight? Look. Tell me it's straight. Okay, good. Not bad for four bucks. And our recycled bookcases are looking pretty good, too. Oh my God, Chrissy.
Starting point is 00:24:20 That's really bad. I've never seen anything like that in my life. They've matched the Doodoo Brown to the bookcase. Yes. When I got a divorce from Julia, she mercifully came over, heart and 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 furniture, stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:24:45 But it was definitely, definitely decorated by a man. 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. I remember. Oh yeah, you remember, okay, there you go. I stepped it up a little bit when I moved to the next place,
Starting point is 00:25:04 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. We add not one, but two rugs cut from a single remnant. I mean, it would look way better without that doo-doo brown. I don't know if it made that a theme and the whole thing. I think just take out the multicolor all together. If you're going to go doo-doo brown, just make it all doo-doo brown. You know what I'm saying? Go full shit-colored walls. Bucks for the pair.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Okay. So I'm driving along the street in a very nice neighborhood. And these are all piled up on the boulevard. Most people would keep driving, but not Sy, who slip covered the whole thing using a vintage bolt of 1950s air-out. He's casing neighborhoods for an ounce of trash furniture. He's going to the rich neighborhoods to look for trash. Well, hey, listen, can't argue with... I ain't got nothing against that.
Starting point is 00:25:57 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 road. Let's point out too that he's picked out two cream chairs that are very low to the ground and then bring out the brown. Bring out the shit. Time for the brown.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yeah, bring out the diarrhea. Let's put it on the chair. Bring out the shoe. Time for the brown. Yeah, bring out the diarrhea. Let's put it on the chair. Fabric. It's beautiful. It's called an old poodle freeze, because it's a loopy 1950s chocolate brown. Could it be any better? Chocolate brown. Yeah, it's not chocolate.
Starting point is 00:26:37 It's a lot of work, but for 20 bucks? It pays to drive around with a pickup. She got friends over and everyone can lie down. Watch the TV. Wow, that's terrible. A set of nesting tables freshened up with a coat of paint stands in. Let's throw in a McDonald's yellow into the mix. We've got all the colors of the shit rainbow.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Let's throw in after McDonald's diarrhea. There's a coffee table. But if you want a really unique table, you use whatever the heck this is. What do you think they are? Any idea? You know what? I've been looking at it and... Oh, you want it? Thanks, Jeff. I think wallpaper printers. Wow, you're good. You're very close.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Wallpaper embosser. Cy didn't change a thing, not even the color of these embossers. Jeff simply cut a base and top from plywood, I'm a wallpaper embosser. Psy didn't change a thing, not even the color of these embossers. Jeff simply cut a base and topped some plywood, and now we're assembling them using screws. Oh my God. It's so bad.
Starting point is 00:27:35 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? 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.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Isn't it terrific? It's a little dangerous. Yeah, more doo-doo brown. And now it's got small dildos on the front of it. We're giving Laura a place to stash her electronics using a couple of cast-offs I picked up for next to nothing. The DVD player will go in here. Her speakers can go in there. And those wacky bumps?
Starting point is 00:28:13 Clay spacers from an old kiln. That is what I was talking about. Plane spacers from an old kiln? Who's looking at an old kiln? My father-in-law is printing more stuff, case you'll wonder. Isn't that amazing what you'll find in a friend's garage? You'll say, ooh, ooh, ooh, what are these? Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Starting point is 00:28:31 We're using more of them to create a funky frame for a mirror. And we're gluing them on. We're going to glue them on and then another freebie. More dog turd brown. From a friend's basement. He said, do you want this old convex mirror? He's like, who doesn't want an old convex mirror? Had Jeff cut this, and that's what we'll do. I would pay somebody to take this out of my house
Starting point is 00:28:54 if this happened to me. I would pay somebody to take this out of my house. It's this whole thing of like found objects. You know? What's that? It's free. Can I make it into something? I love that.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Sometimes decorating is about breaking into your friend's garages and taking everything that's not nailed down and deciding later what it can be. Well, we are $241 closer to giving our homeowners 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 gonna bring back Laura. Coming up next, how to get an art gallery look for less. How to put more brown in your brown? He's all over that brown.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Oh my god, this is terrible. Plus a surprise housewarming for Laura. Oh my gosh! And in our no money makeover, what to do when one room serves three purposes. Mm. Okay. Well, I look forward to that. I look forward to that gem. This really was bad. This is really bad. Oh, is this a, this might be a commercial spacer because, oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Welcome back to Decorating Sense where we are in the middle of a psi-windship makeover. It's kind of a bohemian living room, and that mirror looks great. I would not call that bohemian. 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. Oh, good. I did not think we could top the mirror.
Starting point is 00:30:23 But we have, this is, come on, take a guess. It's either an ottoman, a weird pillow, or a TV cover. That's right. A TV cover. Oh. Oh. You covered your TV back then? This wasn't that long ago, it was 2007.
Starting point is 00:30:40 TV cozy. Sy covered a box made from foam core with a layer of felt. I thought that was like foam. Yeah. He's using reinforced strips of the same felt and glue to create sort of a woven effect. That is weird.
Starting point is 00:30:53 It's a nice, probably, down time, you know, after you've had some major surgery. You've got a couple months to yourself. Well, we continue on here. I think this is a guy at art school. Uh, if kind of, if I have a couple kids, uh, 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,
Starting point is 00:31:15 textures, colors, and they mix them together. Yeah. 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. Jeff has another project. Rematting Laura's black and white photos with orange maps. Back in the living room, the photos look awesome.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Oh my god. Word to the fashion savvy, if you have yourself a TV, you should make yourself a TV cozy. A TV cozy. 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? I think she's getting paid to be the host. I think you're right about that. Say it's awesome. It's awesome. Look at that. You look so happy in your earrings. Okay they're not real earrings but they are real crystals discarded from a broken chandelier.
Starting point is 00:32:05 So I got these paper shades, painted them with extra wall color. With more brown. With more brown. I mean, maybe it's all over that brown. Oh my god. I punched some holes with a needle. And a light kit. I mean, these are like lead crystal things that someone said, I hate this thing.
Starting point is 00:32:23 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. I bet this guy, I bet he's a hoarder. I bet at his house, there's just like so much shit. I still don't know why you need the TV cozy. 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.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Moving on to the dining room, Jeff begins prepping display boxes outside while Cy and I do a little rearranging inside. More brown. More brown. Brown on brown on brown. There's so much brown in the whole area. She said she wanted theater colors. Is brown a theater color? Not that I know of. Not that I know of.
Starting point is 00:33:12 But then again, I've referred to this thing from a theater kid. Here come those boxes. Okay, and that is just the beginning. We are putting how many of these cubes on the wall? 14. 14 of them. 14 brown cubes. 14 cubes on a wall. Brown.
Starting point is 00:33:27 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. Yes, you should take away space. Yes, you're taking away all the space. That's the cube. Here's the plan. It involves math.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I'm out of here. Here's a conversation piece for you. It is a Styrofoam wig head, some cinnamon candy, polyurethane spray. Cinnamon candy? A wig head. A Styrofoam wig head. A Styrofoam wig head. With red hots all over it.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Red hots. Glued all over it. You couldn't trust me around that. I'd start eating them. That wig head would be gone. And now it is hard work. But why stop at one little thing that's been on your mind for a long time? I'm going to go to the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the bathroom. I'm'd start eating them. That wig had to be gone. And now, it is hard work. But why stop at one wig form when two is twice as nice? Make it three. Those are creepy. Oh, those things are waking up in the middle of the night, chewing on your neck. I'm sure of it.
Starting point is 00:34:20 That's fucked up. Anything will do, From apples to oranges. Yeah, let's put real fruit on our living room shit boxes. That's awful. For the ultimate in discount art, clean out your... That is a dildo. That is a dick. ...basement. Paint everything the same color white. And put it on the boxes.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Clean out your what? Clean out your basement, the dildos from your basement, paint them white and stick them half erect on your dick, on your shit boxes. Granted, it's not everyone who has a friend giving away free chandeliers, but- It sounds like he got all this stuff from other places. Or his basement.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Or his friend's basement. Yeah. Friends. Now this is his friend's basement. Yeah. Friends. Now, this is a dining room set. You cannot help but notice this. What's the story? It's a thrift store table, free set of school chairs, and the same color as the wall paint.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Heartthrob in a black- Free set of school chairs. Heartthrob. Heartthrob. I have to kneel to have breakfast. The red, and we've got a beautiful set. Added a little embellishment over there. A little craft balls for detail.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Yeah, it's cool. More white accents top off the table. And finally, accessories all around. More mannequin heads. Oh man. He's got bow fur! And that's not all. Check out these gorgeous pillows Si made.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Look at that one! Look at that. Oh, they are awesome. A few more touches and we are done. Oh, throw in a pink lamp. Oh yeah, throw in a bright pink lamp on the doodoo brown with the McDonald's orange and the Wendy's yellow. Oh my gosh. We are done.
Starting point is 00:36:09 I know. I had those exact same shoes he's wearing, by the way. I just want to throw that in there. Him and I share the same design sensibilities here. I'll back up just a little bit. Those shoes. Okay. Yeah, I liked them very much.
Starting point is 00:36:24 They're very comfortable. Yeah. We are done. I know. What were we trying to do? Bohemian modern. I think that's what it was. Oh, I think it's there. I can't believe this room. I love the art wall.
Starting point is 00:36:35 I know. With the apples. That was the best. I love it with the white. The art wall. Oh, the best. Look at all those dicks. Ha ha. That is one weird room. Oh, the best! Look at all those dicks.
Starting point is 00:36:47 That is one weird room. They have really made this trippy, bohemian not. Ansel Adams, not. Not. What's the guy's name? The guy who does all the trippy artwork. Salvador Dali. Salvador Dali, for sure. That's where it went.

Starting point is 00:38:13 Let's see how the owner cries after she finds out that her terribly decorated house went to holy shit bad decorated house. It's cool, your pillows are insanely good. They are really dear. And the pillows are bad out of the whole thing. It's cool. Your pillows are insanely good. They are really dear. And pillows are bad out of the whole thing. That's right. If you took just the pillows and put them on a decent couch,
Starting point is 00:38:33 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. A brown couch. Down, I'm sorry. If we did nothing else but make her comfortable in front of the TV. We've done our job.
Starting point is 00:38:49 How much did you spend? You'd have to lift up the cozy. Yeah. That's so weird. I can't get over the cozy. Yeah. The weirdly shaped, oddly decorated cozy for your TV. Because who wants to see a TV when you're watching TV?
Starting point is 00:39:07 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. Yeah, we have to go get her and bring her in. Okay. Oh my gosh. Did she just open her eyes in the middle of her own room? That was a weird edit, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:39:28 Usually they like walk you in the door or something. All of a sudden they just show her opening her eyes in her room. Oh my gosh, you weren't kidding. I know. Oh my gosh, you weren't kidding. Someone took a holy shit in my room. Sorry, it's so different. It is so different.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I love it. I think I love it for the camera. It's terrible. Who says you can't always get what you want? We tapped the hidden potential in this blend. Well, we do have to remember how bad it was before. This is true. Bungalow with unexpected color, loads of texture,
Starting point is 00:40:04 and a touch of theatrical flair. This just doesn't even look like the same place. I'm totally floored. Before, Laura's oversized chair and love seat were too big for this small space. Now a sectional puts... Now, boxes on the wall take up the rest of the space. And make everything brown. Yeah. Now a sectional takes up more space than the space. Fun in fun. And make everything brown. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Now a sectional takes up more space than the other chairs did. While colorful pillows and funky accents provide an- I'm surprised the camera guy can move around in here. I know. While dark walls make it look smaller than it was before. I know. Escape from the ordinary. Look at the chandelier.
Starting point is 00:40:41 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. I know. That's what people in the 80s put in their windows as votives during Christmas time. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:40:59 It's your art wall. I'm almost trying not to cry. Because I am going to have to do so much work to change this. You are cool. Thank you so much. I'm almost trying not to cry. There's weird heads everywhere. How do you feel in a room like this?
Starting point is 00:41:20 I feel super hip and cool. Well, do we have one more surprise for you. Oh, no. We left you with the bill. Yeah. We charged it all to your credit card. OK, everybody. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Laura. The housewarming party, Laura, always dreamed of. You're fabulous. Dear Isaiah, 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.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Let's go. Cut the cake, get me the fuck out of here. Just ahead, our redesign. It tackles a New York apartment with one room for working, eating, and oh yeah, living. And later in the show. What's that? It's called a studio.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Yeah, it's called a studio. Apartments are pretty common in New York, I think. All right, let's And later in the show. What's that? It's called a studio. Yeah, it's called a studio apartment. They're pretty common in New York, I think. Alright, let's fast forward to this part. Oh god, yeah, this was bad. Yeah. No cost decorating. Washington Heights. On the northern tip of Manhattan is where actress...
Starting point is 00:42:19 Well, now you get to pay seven million dollars to live in Washington Heights, I think. Lori Haley Fox lives. I just love my neighborhood up here. It's a real family-oriented place and even though I'm still in Manhattan, it's just nice. Wow. Those teeth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Are a... They're big and they're white. They're like George Washington teeth. Weren't his made out of wood or something? I'm thinking like that. I mean, no offense. Maybe she had an accident or whatever, but it's, that's a veneer job. Still a neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:42:47 She has a small one-bedroom apartment. My living room area pretty much is everything. It's my dining room. It's my office space. It's my living room. And she's been busy decorating since she moved in two years ago. I painted everything. I like color.
Starting point is 00:43:03 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. Most people actually get Buddhas, not like actual pictures of Buddhas in ten 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 married.
Starting point is 00:43:30 You can tell. Yeah. She likes her stuff, but she's not sure it's in the right place. What I don't like is that it's a little bit boxy. I just think there's a better way of doing it. And the dining area doesn't get much dining. I only use it if somebody's here and I'm having dinner. Our redesigner can help.
Starting point is 00:43:45 So I know she has three purposes for this room, but in this case, separating the room with the couch isn't working. The dining room is totally ignored, the conversation space too spread out, and the walkway way too tight. We get busy. Everything out, but the TV and the sofa.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Thank God you don't have that other guy coming back to paint everything brown. At least the paint rollers are not there. So I want to try a new position. Which is our first... Oh, well that's what she said. Challenge. What you thought?
Starting point is 00:44:16 Yeah, I guess it's okay. Now for the two chairs. I want to try actually bringing the TV down the wall and maybe do the chairs on either side. Okay. How do you feel about that? It's totally different. Yeah. It's definitely more intimate. My big thing was reversing that sofa, getting it on this side of the room, and opening up this space.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Now I can integrate the dining room into the seating group. You want to do it? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I like it. Integrate it. Go. Integrate. You had the rug in here, but all the furniture was all around. Was all around. Yeah. None of it was on it. Go integrate. You have the rug in here but ever all the furniture
Starting point is 00:44:47 was all around. Yeah and none of it was on it. So now it really kind of feels like okay we can all sit on the rug together. We get our tables in place. Can you get out now? All special pieces from Lori's parents. Now they kind of take center stage. Yeah it's great. Good. We're lifting the sides of the dining table to give it more presence. I'm thinking we put the dining room on the rug. That'd be great. And then I want to get a longer chain and swag your candelabra out and get it out from the wall.
Starting point is 00:45:16 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 couch. Your bedroom. Yes. Some bigger pieces of art.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Yeah. And I'm hoping that we can use them in the... Great. Yeah, let's go for it. Okay, good. 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 group. Now we're hanging some larger pieces. 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, you know, more modern, yeah, Target where there's some throw pillows
Starting point is 00:46:15 or a $30 chair or something like that. And again, I am no decorating expert by any stretch of the imagination. Thank God for Astrid. But in I know our house is no decorating specialty either. It's beautiful. But every once in a blue moon, you go to the store and you pick up a couple of knickknacks and you change things around a little bit. These are really poorly decorated places in the first place. Some height and drama to the room and it feels so much more sophisticated. Yeah, that looks awesome.
Starting point is 00:46:43 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. And the dining area is also getting the attention it deserves. Yeah, a little lower, you can see it in the mirror. Yeah, which is nice.
Starting point is 00:46:58 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. This table all the time. This might be candles. Yeah, I guess those are candles.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Nothing like setting the entire apartment building on fire. ... conversation space. And it wasn't working. Now take a look. 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. It's just great, because now all the areas complement each other. Nothing's cut off anymore.
Starting point is 00:47:34 It's just one great big festive space. Oh yeah, I wanna jump right in, take a nap in there. That's, okay. Me and my Buddha. 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.

Well, there you go decorating sense find it on YouTube because that's where it is as bad as You think it is? Oh, yeah, there's no doubt whenever the enders episodes where people on There's no doubt. Whenever, and there's episodes where people on,

So if you wanna 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.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Poor Decorating Sense. But it is pretty bad. but he's doing it. It's the hot trend right now to make fun of decorating sense. Poor decorating sense. But it is pretty bad. I mean, I can't even believe they let this run. But this is long before HGTV was a thing. Right. It was in its infancy. The $500 was all they had because no one was advertising on HGTV.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I wonder where this woman is now, the lady who hosted. The host? I was thinking the same thing. She's somewhere, not on HGTV, but somewhere. Yeah.
