1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp, The 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: House Whisperer on demand on the iHeart Radio app. I 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: am Dean Sharp for Better or Worse, The House Whisperer, 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: Custom home Builder, Custom home Designer. Your friend here with patient, 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: helpful answers to your questions and with inspiration to see 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: your home the way that I see it, an ordinary 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 1: house capable of becoming an extraordinary home. Does that sound good? 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get to it. Whether home for 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: you is a castle or a cottage doesn't matter. Good 10 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: design makes all the difference. Every house deserves it, every 11 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: house should enjoy it, because once it's at work, and 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: I see this happen all the time. This is one 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: of the things I love most about my job. Once 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: good design is at work, it's momentum. It's snowballs. Bad 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: design snowballs the same way, except in the opposite direction. 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: Nothing is stat about a home. Nothing is static. Everything 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: is dynamic. Everything is moving. Design is either moving and 18 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: growing better and better, or it is regressing and getting 19 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: worse and worse. And once good design is at work 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: in your home, that is when your house suddenly has 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: a path forward toward becoming a truly, truly great home. 22 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: And that's something that I firmly foundationally fundamentally. How many 23 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: other f's can I bring in there? It's what I 24 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: believe with all of my heart because and it's not 25 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: just a belief hung out there on faith, it is 26 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: a belief grounded in daily experience. I know the effect 27 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: that good design has on people and on lives, and 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: I want that for you. I want it for you 29 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: in your home. That's why I am a custom home designer, 30 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: and that's why I'm here talking to you. You invited 31 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: into your home and your space every weekend, a fact 32 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: that is not lost upon me. I know how important 33 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: your weekends are, and I am truly grateful and thrilled 34 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: to have the conversation today. By the way, speaking of 35 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: all of that, today on the show, I can actually 36 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: tell you I'm going to tell you not only today 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: but next week because I'm excited about that too. So 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in a second. But today on 39 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: the show, you can call it this romancing your home. 40 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: That is the that's our theme today. It's Valentine's Day weekend. Obviously, 41 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: it's a time when couples celebrate their love for each 42 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: other with tokens of affection like you know, candlelight dinners, chocolate, flowers, 43 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: et cetera, etc. But I would bet good money, good 44 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: money that many of the recipients of those affections would 45 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: not hesitate to trade there once a year gifts and 46 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: special moments to live in a home every day that 47 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: offers a higher level of romance on a daily basis, 48 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: and upping your homes romance game is the gift that 49 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: keeps on giving. And that's what we're talking about today. 50 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: Now let me let me explain a couple of things. 51 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I use the word romance and romantic a lot here 52 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: on the program, and quite often people who've heard it 53 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: for the first time, you use it for the first time, 54 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: they get the wrong impression as to what I'm referring 55 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: to because I'm you know, some people are like, well, listen, 56 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: I live alone. Okay, there's no romance in my home. No, yes, 57 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: absolutely there is, Absolutely there is. Because that's not my 58 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: use of the word. I am not primarily referring to 59 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, you know what I'm saying that kind of 60 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: you know I I am not primarily referring to that 61 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: kind of romance. The romance or the romantic nature of 62 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: a room, a space, a yard, whatever the case may be. 63 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: Is this definition romantic? You look it up in the dictionary, right, 64 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: You're not gonna find first and foremost couples ugling over 65 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: each other. You find this the word romantic, characterized by 66 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: an idealized view of reality and the synonyms that come 67 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: with it beautiful, lovely, charming, idyllic, picturesque. All right, that 68 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: is far far closer to my view of a romantic space. 69 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: But it actually doesn't go quite far enough because it 70 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: doesn't really the English language, we don't have a word 71 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: that really digs into the emotional quality of romantic I 72 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: think quite as well as others. The Danish call it hooga. 73 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: They have a word hooga. Hooga is a Danish culture 74 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: concept of and and by the way, you know this, 75 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: what's fun about this? You know that huga was our 76 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: very first show, Tina back in it was the very 77 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: nine you know a little over nine years well not 78 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: quite nine years ago, Yeah, I remember, our very first 79 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: show was this concept. And it's appropriate that that we 80 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: circle back to it. And and because it had it 81 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: is very much a theme of good home design. So 82 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: hooga is this idea of warm, cozy, intimate atmosphere. It 83 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: emphasizes contentment, safety, the enjoyment of simple pleasures with loved ones. 84 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: And there's this focus in hugah on comfort, mindfulness, togetherness, 85 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: mental well being of course always uh and uh, and 86 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: it's achieved through uh, soft lighting, warm textures, wonderful shared meals. 87 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: You know you're getting the feeling. 88 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: So here is it. 89 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: If you don't remember any of that detail, then if 90 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: you want to understand what Dean is referring to when 91 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: he says romantic romancing a room, romancing a space, I 92 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: am gonna you know, I was searching for it all week. 93 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: I'm like, how can I encapsulate this without going on 94 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: and on and on about it. And we had some 95 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: friends over, some dear friends over last night who were 96 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: hanging out, and the wife, she loves to come into 97 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: our home and she always makes the same comment about 98 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: I just I. 99 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: Don't know, I just love being in this space.

No, I was 171 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: working so hard in the garden and you had gone 172 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: out to the store to get something to get you fertilized. 173 00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: There. 174 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: I get went out for fertilizer, which was. 175 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 2: I was using it as an excuse. I know, it's 176 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: sneaky of you. And then I brought back flowers. 177 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: I was just so touched that you were going to 178 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: let me stay and work while you went and got fertilizer. 179 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: It's just layer. It's a layer and pine layer around here. 180 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: That's surprise. That's how I work. 181 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: It's very nice, all right, it was it. They were Costco. 182 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: They're gorgeous. I don't care. I mean I don't. 183 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: I'm not embarrassed about telling you where they came. But 184 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: I knew the Costco would have some great flowers. I 185 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: didn't think they would be that pretty. 186 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. 187 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: They are beautiful and also great. Deal like ten bucks 188 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: on that Miracle Grow organic fertilizer. No, not the No, 189 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: the flowers cost like four times as much as the 190 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: three bags of fertilizers. Well not as it. Yeah, because 191 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: the flowers caught more. It costs more than the fertilizer back. 192 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: So you got the flowers and and fertilizer the fertilizer. 193 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: All in one. Wow. WHOA. 194 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: All right, shall we get to it? Yeah, we should 195 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: get to it, all right, Romancing your home. I've already 196 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: set up the whole romantic thing. You know, what is 197 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: my definition of romantic. It's things that make you go 198 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: hmmm at home. All right, now, how do we actually 199 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: achieve that? 200 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: Well? 201 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: Okay, so first, and I said, I wasn't going to 202 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: focus this around the partners, but I can't ignore partners, 203 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: so real quick, let me just say first item that 204 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: I want to address. If you are partnered in life, 205 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: is it obvious that you both live in your home? 206 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: Is it obvious like if I walk in? Is it clear? 207 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: Now? 208 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: The reason I asked that is because there are spaces 209 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: in a home that are over utilitarian. There are spaces 210 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: in a home that are over feminized, and there are 211 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: spaces in a home that are over masculinized. And I'm 212 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: not the you know, and I'm not judging feminine masculine. 213 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: That's not the point. The point is this, and nor 214 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: is this. Nor am I setting up partnerships that they 215 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: only have to be masculine feminine. I am saying this, 216 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: the identity in a truly romanticized, well balanced design environment. Tina, 217 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong about this. The identity of 218 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: the inhabitants of the home should be present in the 219 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: most important rooms, all of the identity of all of 220 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: the inhabitants of the home. And that's why I asked 221 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: the question, is it obvious that you both live there? 222 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: Or is this all about one partner's identity and personality 223 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: and the other is just like the silent partner, as 224 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: it were. That's not how we want to design your home. 225 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: All right, more on this on the other side, your 226 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: home Dean Sharp, the house Whisper. 227 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from 228 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty. 229 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: And we're doing it today by romancing or home.

Okay, back to it. 257 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 3: Uh? 258 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: Where where? Where? Where? Where? Where did I leave off here? Oh? Yeah, partnering? 259 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 3: Uh? 260 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: Like I said before the break, Uh, my definition of 261 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: romance is not all wrapped up around two people feeling 262 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: romantic about each other. In terms of romancing your home, 263 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: it's really about increasing the romantic quality of every room 264 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: in your house, every space in your house so that 265 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: you whether you're partnered or whether you're alone, you're just like, 266 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: hmmm mmmm, this is the space. Oh, this is the 267 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: great feedback that I'm getting from my home. It feels 268 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: wonderful here. That's the idea, that's the goal. But first 269 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: step along the way, I just want to make sure 270 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: and I'm going to underscore this before we move on. 271 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: If you are partnered, if you've got a partner that 272 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: you live with your significant other, then one of the 273 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: big issues of design and decor for any given space 274 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: in the room in the house is is it obvious 275 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: that you both live there? And I know I rush 276 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: that in right at the end. I just want to 277 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: underscore that a well balanced relationship has both of you 278 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: and both of your personalities in play. A well balanced 279 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: interior decor is the same. Okay, Now, if it's the 280 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: masculine feminine thing, then both can be embraced in the 281 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: same space. I walk into a lot of homes, a 282 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: lot of homes in which let's say there's a husband 283 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: and wife or a male and female partners living in 284 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: the home, and you'll walk into, you know, the main room. 285 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: And I'm not talking. 286 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: About a she shed or a man cave. That's obviously 287 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: those are defined for what they are, right, I'm talking 288 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: about shared common spaces. We walk into houses all the time, Tina, 289 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: back me up on this. That we're like, is there 290 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: any is there a female that lives in this house? 291 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: Because it doesn't feel like it from the surfaces, from 292 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: the agenda of the decor, and so on. That happens 293 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: on occasion, that happens. I got to say, though, the 294 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: vast majority of it is in the other direction, which 295 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: is like does a man live here? Because you know, 296 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: quite often it's not a stereotype that I'm embracing. I'm 297 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: just saying, quite often the case that women are far 298 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: more involved in the decor the home than men are, 299 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: and as a result, there's a lot more feminization of 300 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: decor in any given space. And that's just something to 301 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: be aware of. That's all I'm saying. A good balance 302 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: is what brings that romance to its peak inside any 303 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: given space. All Right, So there you go. Now, what 304 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: about those of you who are not partnered? What about that? 305 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: Because a lot of people I was just talking to 306 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: Amy King on Friday morning, She's like, I'm glad you've 307 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: brought that up, Dean, because I am not with somebody 308 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: in my house, in my space. The big question to 309 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: you is simply this, are you worth it? I want 310 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: you to say yes to that. I want the answer 311 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:51,719 Speaker 1: to that question to be yes. Are you worth the romanticization, 312 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: romantic romanticization of your living space? 313 00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 2: Okay? 314 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: And again it's not to get dates, it's about you 315 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: dating you, okay? Are you worth it? Are you worth 316 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: walking into a space that you've created for yourself that 317 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: just wraps you up and says, hmmm, we're home. 318 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 2: This is great. 319 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: The answer to that question should be yes. I want 320 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: it to be yes for you. So there you go. Now, 321 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,959 Speaker 1: now I'm done with the partnering and the singling, and 322 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: we're going to move on to the general the universal 323 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: rules around it. First one, it's a biggie. You've heard 324 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: me harp on it before. I'm gonna harp on it again. Clutter. 325 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: Clutter is the ultimate vibe killer in a home. I've 326 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: never exactly put it in those terms, but that is 327 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: one hundred percent accurate. Clutter is a vibe killer. Too 328 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 1: much stuff laying around, too many things piled one on another. 329 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: And you know, here's the thing about clutter, and don't 330 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: don't play mind games with yourself on this. Okay, don't 331 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: make excuses for this. Nobody's asking you to talk about 332 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: it out loud. Just think it through. Just think it through. 333 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: You're not on the spot here, okay. Clutter the first 334 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: definition of it is anything in a space that you 335 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: don't want to just sit and stare at. Okay, that 336 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: you just don't want to gaze at. In other words, 337 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,959 Speaker 1: there's so much junk over there on the table. And 338 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: I am such an anti clutter person that if I 339 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: am sitting in a particular space, like in my family room, 340 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: for instance, and I'm gazing over because I can. When 341 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm sitting by the fireplace in our family room, I've 342 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: got a clear view of the family room kind of 343 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: in an l corner there, and I can also see 344 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: our dining room. And if somebody's just got a bunch 345 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: of boxes and stuff and whatever piled up on the 346 00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: dining room table. I don't always do this, but sometimes, 347 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: if it's important enough to me, I'm just gonna get 348 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: up and I'm gonna go over there, and I'm gonna 349 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: clear off that table and reset the dining room table 350 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: so that you know it's got its right vibe so 351 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: that I can sit back down and everything I see, 352 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: all they'll cross my field of vision is something worth 353 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: looking at, something worth gazing at. Because that's what clutter does. 354 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: It kills the vibe. Okay, when there's just junk sitting around, 355 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: stuff sitting around, too much stuff sitting around. And by 356 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: the way, that's really really an important point when it 357 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: comes to the romancing of a space. 358 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,479 Speaker 2: Okay, I want you to think about this. 359 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: If I go back to that classic you know, you know, 360 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: one person to another romantic event. Okay, I to think 361 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:53,239 Speaker 1: about this. Candle at dinner. Candle at dinner is and 362 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: we'll touch on this when we get to lighting a 363 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: candle at dinner, the candlelight pools an immediate around you 364 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: and then things get dark after that. Why because of focus. 365 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: The nature of a candle lit dinner is when I 366 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: sit down and there's candlelight between Tina and I, the 367 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: only thing that's lit up in my field of view 368 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: is her, right, I get to see her and no distractions, 369 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: nothing beyond it, nothing outside of it. Okay, that is 370 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: the essence of romance. Focus on singular items. Focus on 371 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: singular items. A candle at dinner, by definition, is the 372 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: least cluttered space experience that you can have, because the 373 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: idea is for it to be solely focused, your attention 374 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: in one place and no distractions. That is not the 375 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: easiest thing to achieve in a room as a whole, 376 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: but it's critical, critical, critical, critical, all right. We'll talk 377 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: about more of it on the other side of the break. 378 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: Clutter the ultimate romance vibe killer. How do we fix it? 379 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: All right? 380 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: We'll get there.

We are talking about romancing your home today 385 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: and we've got We're off to a good start. Yeah, 386 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: Clutter the ultimate vibe killer. I'm not going to belabor 387 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: the point. It's a sensitive subject for some people, not 388 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: for others. I'm just telling you the truth of it, 389 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: the truth, and I'm here to be honest with you. 390 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: Always that too much stuff is always a problem when 391 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: it comes to great design and great decor. It is 392 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: human nature. It's not my opinion. It is a physiological 393 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: truth about being a human being. There's only so many 394 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: things that we can focus on at a given time. 395 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: And you know, as a general principle, there's hierarchy in 396 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: a room, in art, in anything like that, in which 397 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: it's really really important for that hierarchy to be there. 398 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: Hierarchy means the attention of your focus being on one 399 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: thing first and foremost, and then another and then another, 400 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: and then you kind of let go after that point. 401 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: If you walk into an important space in your house 402 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: and there's so much stuff, whether it's by clutter or 403 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: whether it is just by you've collected too many things. 404 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: You've put too many things in this space. And this 405 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: is not me telling you that you've got to get 406 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: rid of important things. To you, how about spread them 407 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: out throughout the rest of the house, get them all out, 408 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: you know, get too many of them out of this space, 409 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: this one space. Because a great romantic space does not 410 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: challenge your attention. It focuses it, It simplifies it, it 411 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: brings it into clarity. That's why I'm saying the idea 412 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: of the romantic candle at dinner, there's a science behind it. 413 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: There's a method to the madness. Those candles don't light 414 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: up a whole room. They just light up the table 415 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: and the face of the person that you're staring at. 416 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: It is focus. There are other benefits to that candlelight 417 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: that will get to next, but I just want to say, 418 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: understand it from that perspective. Every room has its focal 419 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: points and its secondary points, and beyond that, you just 420 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: here's what you're doing. You're diluting the effect of the 421 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: space by having too many things, too many things in 422 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: that space. 423 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: All right, I'm. 424 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: Gonna leave it at that. It's important. Let's talk about lighting. 425 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: Lighting is a huge part of romancing a home, setting 426 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: the scene. Basically, again, let's go back to the candle 427 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: lit dinner. What is one of the magical things about 428 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: a candle lit dinner? Well, the candle light. Candle light 429 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: is the light of an open flame. And in the 430 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: world of color science and the light that is emitted 431 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: from an open flame, that amber warm light is roughly 432 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred degrees kelvin. That's not a temperature of like heat, 433 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: it's the color temperature of the light. Eighteen hundred degrees kelvin, 434 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: the color temperature of open flame, all open flame. So 435 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: the candle light, the fireplace, the fire pit, all open flame, 436 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred degrees kelvin. What does eighteen hundred degrees kelvin 437 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: do to a human being? 438 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 2: Well? 439 00:26:55,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Number one, eighteen hundred degrees kelvin is amber and night 440 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: and warm enough that it dilates no diet. Is that 441 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: the opposite? It opens up your pupil. Okay, it opens 442 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: your pupil. Large pupils, open up, large deep pools, large black, 443 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 1: dark eyes staring back at you. This is something that 444 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: only happens when a human being is relaxed in that 445 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: state of openness and awareness. It is universally considered a 446 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: most and more beautiful face when pupils are large, as 447 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: opposed to pinpoint pupils. Okay, does that make sense? Large 448 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: pupils opened up, relaxed, more beautiful than pinpoint pupils. All right, 449 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: this is what eighteen hundred degrees kelvin does. Another thing 450 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: that eighteen hundred degrees kelvin does to a human being 451 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: is changes brain wave activity to shifting into a more 452 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: relaxing state. Another thing that eighteen hundred degrees kelvin does 453 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: is lower your blood pressure and, if given enough time, 454 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: lower your heart rate. Yeah, involuntarily. You don't have to 455 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: sit there and meditate and force it down. This is 456 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,239 Speaker 1: what it does. It opens us up, It opens us 457 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: to connection. It also lights a face in warm light, 458 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: giving color and flush back to a face and to 459 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: objects that it lights up eighteen hundred degrees Calvin, the 460 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: magic of the candlelit dinner. Okay, it is way more 461 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: than just some novel idea. Oh, let's light a candle 462 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: and have it sit between us as we No, no, no, no, 463 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: you are actually chemical, hormonal, systemic things are happening as 464 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: a result of that color, temperature of light. So lighting 465 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: a room awfully with pools of shadow, with warm intimate 466 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 1: light changes the way you feel in the space. A 467 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: lot of you, a lot of you have installed tons 468 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: of overhead recess can light that you turn on in 469 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: a space and it gets lit up like a gymnasium. 470 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: Not romance, not romance. 471 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: All right, of course we're going to talk more about 472 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: this and how to control it and how to pull 473 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: it back, even if you know, I'm not telling you 474 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: to yank the can lights out, But how do we 475 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: change it? 476 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: How do we alter it? 477 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: We'll get there, But when we come back, it's time 478 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: for your calls your home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper. 479 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: This has been Home with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper. 480 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: Tune into the live broadcast on KFI AM six forty 481 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: every Saturday morning from six to eight Pacific time, and 482 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: every Sunday morning from nine to noon Pacific time, or 483 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
