1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp the

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: House Whisper on demand on the iHeart Radio app. Every

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: home has a path forward, we just have to find it.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: And once you find that path, once you see it,

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: everything changes, Everything changes. We're helping you find that path.

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Today it's Valentine's Day weekend, and so I thought it

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: would be a beautiful time to discuss one of my

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: favorite topics, which is upping the romance of your home.

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: And again we're not talking about the makeout quality of

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: every room. I'm talking about romance from the architectural perspective,

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: and that is that classic sense of like, mmmmmm, this

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: is such a great space. Oh I love being in

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: this space. But to do that, we actually are drawing

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: upon classic romantic scenarios. I've already talked about Number one. Well,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: here's what we've covered so far. If you're partnered, if

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: you and your partner live in a home, then this

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: is an important question to ask. Is it obvious that

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: both of you live there? From the design, from the decor.

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Are you living in an over masculinized environment and an

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: over feminized environment? An environment in which one person's personality

21
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: is dominant and the other person is just essentially the

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: silent partner. That is not a well balanced and ergo

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: romantic environment to be in. I want everybody who lives

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: in the home to have a presence in the home

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: if we've designed it well. In a custom environment, that's

26
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: exactly the case. Okay, if you are single and you

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: are not a partnered person, the big question is your

28
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: own value? Are you worth it? Okay? A lot of

29
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: people just dismiss the fact that you know, I'm not

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: here with anybody else and nobody usually comes over, and

31
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: so you know, who cares what my house looks like

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: on the inside.

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: You do? You should?

34
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: You should be worth it? You are worth it. I

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: want you to answer yes to that question, and I

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: want you to start making those environments romantically increased for you,

37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: upping the romance for you for you so that you

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: get to retreat from work and from your stressful life

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: and you come home and you're like, oh, yeah, m

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: this is good. You know what I'm saying. All Right,

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: We've also covered clutter. I didn't belabor the point, but

42
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: I talked about it enough to get your attention. Clutter

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: is the ultimate vibe killer for your home. That's enough said.

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: If you just joined us, go back on the podcast

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: and make sure you don't miss the first part of

46
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the show. And then we moved to lighting, and I

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: talked about the romantic candle lit dinner and the fact

48
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: that there's a ton of human behavioral science behind it.

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: Pupils open up, that increases the beauty perception of somebody's face, warm,

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: skin tones. But more importantly even then, that the fact

51
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: that eighteen hundred degrees kelvin, that is the color temperature

52
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: of open flame for a human being. Okay, for two

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: million years plus, we have huddled around fires to keep

54
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: us safe, to keep us warm, to cook our food,

55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: to tell the stories of the tribe, to build community.

56
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: That color temperature of flame is ingrained in us biologically, genetically,

57
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: we react to it. What happens, Our heart rate drops,

58
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: our blood pressure drops, our brain clicks into a more

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: relaxed state of brain wave. Nothing but good things happen

60
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: when you and I are near the color temperature of safe.

61
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about wildfires. I'm talking about contained, controlled,

62
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: intentional open flame. Whether it's candlelight or your fireplace or

63
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: your fire pit or whatever. The lights in your home

64
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: and the color temperature that we have set them at

65
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: in order to give us that vibe. It is real.

66
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: It is real biodynamic design elements that just relax you

67
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: and make you go hmm. That's part of it. Now.

68
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: In addition, this is where we're picking up. That's what

69
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: we've talked about so far. What about the ability to

70
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: control those lights? And right before we went to calls,

71
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: the last thing I mentioned on this topic was a

72
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: lot of you, a lot of folks. Too many folks

73
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: have and if you're a fan of the show, you

74
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: know where I'm going, have way too many recess can

75
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: lights in their home right, houses designed by electricians, who,

76
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: by the way, are not lighting designers, they are electricians.

77
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: So we've got living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms with tons

78
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: of recessed ceiling mount can lighting and you turn those

79
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: on and we're lighting up those spaces. We're driving out shadows,

80
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: as if shadows and darkness is an enemy, it is not.

81
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: We're flattening out, muddying up a room, and we're basically

82
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: turning that space into the equivalent of a sports arena

83
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: or a gymnasium. Not romantic lighting, not conducive for relaxation.

84
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: Lots of glare when we look up from those lights

85
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: and just straight down lighting on a human face not good.

86
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Not good. And the elimination of shadows in a space

87
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: not good. Shadows create texture, They also define space, especially

88
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: in larger rooms. Can I mention that? Can I touch

89
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: on that for just a second. One of the reasons

90
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: why and this is so important these days because so

91
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: many of us have open planned are common spaces. Right now,

92
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: there's no wall in between the kitchen and the family room.

93
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: Now there may not be a wall between the family

94
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: room and the dining room. We may be family dining

95
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: in kitchen space, all relatively open space. That's a large area, okay.

96
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: And yet you are in the room on your own,

97
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: sitting in one place or another place, And we don't

98
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: need all of the rest of that space to remind

99
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: you that you're a little person sitting in a large

100
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: open space, especially in the evenings or whenever. So here's

101
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: the idea. Pools of light and darkness define smaller spaces

102
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: within a larger open architectural space. Just like I said,

103
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: the candle at dinner, the candles only illuminate the table

104
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: and everything beyond it. It goes fades into darkness that

105
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: gives you focus. The idea of sitting next to a

106
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: fireplace with the open fire going and not a lot

107
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: of light in the rest of the room. Mmmm, It's

108
00:06:53,960 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: an intimate area. Especially in larger open plan spaces, we

109
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: need subspaces, sub rooms. Okay, a space just for the

110
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: dining table and when people are dining and everything else

111
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: can go the dimmer or dark. When you're sitting on

112
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: the sofa or in that special comfy chair of yours,

113
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: everything else can go dark around you, and that reading

114
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: lamp or that floor lamp or whatever can just light

115
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: up that area. Being able to control that and how

116
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: do we get that control? Number one, we plan it

117
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: and number two the D word dimmers, dimmers, dimmers and

118
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: more dimmers everywhere. Let's talk about that more. On the

119
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: other side of the break. You are Home with Dean Sharp,

120
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: the house whisper.

121
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

122
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: KFI A six.

123
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Today we're talking about taking your home to the next

124
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: level by increasing the romance in every space in your home.

125
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: Let's get back to it, shall we talking lighting? And

126
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: I've already talked about color temperature of that light, getting

127
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: it warmer. Also not obliterating darkness from a space, especially

128
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: in a larger, open planned space. We want certain things

129
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: darker than other things. Again, focus, hierarchy, focal points, not

130
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: too much stuff, not too much stuff lit up necessarily. Now,

131
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: if it's party night and everything, then you also want

132
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: to be able to set the scene in a room

133
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: where every space is beautifully lit all at once, okay,

134
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: but not overdone. And when it's just you ramble them around,

135
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: or you and your significant other, then you should be

136
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: able to control certain spaces, especially large spaces, to create

137
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: pools of light. You know what a pool of light

138
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: is in one place, in a room. It is the

139
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: definition of a new room inside a room, all right,

140
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: a pool of light and then the rest of the

141
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: room goes away. That's a theatrical effect and it applies

142
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: at home because it's good design. Imagine you're in a theater,

143
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: you know, we've all we've all been in theaters where

144
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: watching a stage play and there are times when the

145
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: entire background, the whole scene is set up and it's

146
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: all lit up beautifully. Okay. There are other times when

147
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: everything goes dark and it's just one spotlight, one spotlight,

148
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: creating a circle of what five feet in diameter down

149
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: on the stage, and one person, one individual sitting or

150
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: standing in that spotlight that is focus. And when that

151
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: spotlight is on, everything outside of that circle of light

152
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: does not exist. It is only there. They could they

153
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: could be standing and probably are standing on a forty

154
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: fifty foot wide stage, but that pool of light is

155
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: the only space in the entire theater. You see what

156
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying. This is what I want for your reading area,

157
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: for that comfy chair, and uh and for that one lamp,

158
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: and you know, those are the kinds of things that

159
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: up the romance. Now, this doesn't happen by accident. We

160
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: plan these things, We design them, we contrive them, and

161
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: then we make them easy to access and control. Controls

162
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: are key. Let's talk about theater again. This is why

163
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: I say, when every circuit of lighting in your home,

164
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: especially if you have a home that has a lot

165
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: of recess, can lights, dimmers, dimmers and more dimmers. Okay,

166
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: there should be a dimmer controlling every bank of lights

167
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: in your home. And I would argue even lamps and

168
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: individual lamps, and you can get lamp cord dimmers all

169
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 1: of this kind of stuff. Or if you want to

170
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: go smart home. I'm a big fan of smart bulbs

171
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: that tie in with your that speak to your Wi

172
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Fi system and give you control either through your personal

173
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: assistant and you know who I'm talking about. Those names

174
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to mention because I don't want

175
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: to activate them in your home right now or through

176
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: an app. Okay, we have a smart home setup in

177
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: our looks like nineteen twenties esque decor in our home,

178
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: which we love. We set it up intent, but it's

179
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: very smart hidden away. When I walk into the family

180
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: room at night when we've got guests over, you know,

181
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: there's a scene that I've already pre set in the

182
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: home app that I just speak that I talk to

183
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: my assistant and say set the lights to and da

184
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: da da da, and then all of the lights change

185
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: for that open conversation. If Tina and I are just

186
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: watching a movie, if it's movie night, I literally have

187
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: a scene that's called movie set the lights to movie.

188
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Everything dims down. Two of the lights that are out

189
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: in front of our face. The three of them actually

190
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: go blue. They turn blue because they're smart bulbs, multicolored bulbs.

191
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: They go boot blue. This dim blue that avoids glare,

192
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: It sets up the frame really nicely, and so on

193
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: and so forth. So that's another option that you have.

194
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: But know that these things are all very very intentional. Okay,

195
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: but let's get back to basics here. Lighting in a

196
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: house lighting? What what are we lighting? We do not

197
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: light rooms. I will repeat this mantra every time this

198
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: subject comes up. The key, the fundamental key to lighting

199
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: design in a home is just like lighting a stage

200
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: in theater. We do not light the stage. We light

201
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: things on the stage. We do not light rooms in

202
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: a home. No, we light things, not rooms. Things. So

203
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: all those recessed downlights that you have, and some of

204
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: you right now are thinking, what do we do. I'm

205
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: not gonna you know, we paid a lot of money

206
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: to put him in. What are we gonna do? Pull

207
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: them back out? No, you don't have to pull them

208
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: back out. But there is a relatively inexpensive fix for

209
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: that bank of six or eight perfectly organized like a

210
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: domino on your ceiling recess can lights. There is a fix.

211
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: It will cost you a little bit of money, but

212
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: not a lot. You can radically change the way they

213
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: affect that room. We'll talk about it when we come

214
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: back your Home with Dean Sharp, the house Whisperer.

215
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

216
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty.

217
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: Here to help you transform your ordinary house into an

218
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: extraordinary home. Let's continue discussing the romancing of your home.

219
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: So lighting, what what are we romantically lighting? We are

220
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: lighting things, not rooms. And the question is I've got

221
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: like these eight recess can lights all spread out across

222
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: my family room ceiling. When we use that? Now, some

223
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: of you use them. Others have already recognized that there's

224
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: too much glare, there's too much weirdness to it, and

225
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: you just don't even use them. I want you to

226
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: use them. They're there. You might as well use them.

227
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to go in tear them all out,

228
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: Not that I would be angry if you did, but

229
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to tear them all out. I actually

230
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: want some in there. But here is the trick that

231
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: I promised right before the break. It's going to cost

232
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: you a little bit of money. It's understanding what a

233
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: recess can light is all about. Now, those of you

234
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: who have had little pucks, little light led lighting pucks,

235
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: which are so popular and so inexpensive, these days. This

236
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: is not going to apply to you unfortunately. Okay, this

237
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: trick will not apply to you the same way. But

238
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: if you have a regular kind of standard traditional recessed

239
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: can light, okay, recess lighting comes in two parts. There

240
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: is the housing the can as it were, the housing

241
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: that has been mounted in and is up above the

242
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: dry wall. Right, the housing is up in the ceiling

243
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: where you can't see it. And then there's the part

244
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: that you do see, and that is what's no as

245
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: the trim of this light. Now, the trim can be

246
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: pulled out. The trim is in there with you know,

247
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: pressurized springs, and you can grab onto the side of

248
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: the trim, pry it down a little bit and just

249
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: pull it out with your hand to replace it. The

250
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: trim is something that can be pretty easily homeowner replaced.

251
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: All right, So here's the thing. Go grab one of

252
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: those trims, pull it out, take it with you down

253
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: to the big box store or the local lighting store

254
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: and say, here is the trim that's pulled out of

255
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: the recess can lights that are in my living room.

256
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: I would like to know what's available and for this size,

257
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: it'll fit into this can with this little you know,

258
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: low voltage connection or the LED connection. I would like

259
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: to know what's available in terms of a gimbal. Now

260
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: with somebody at the big box store who's only worked

261
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: in the electrical department for a day, they will raise

262
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: their eye and say, what is a gimbal? They won't

263
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: you won't get that reaction at the lighting shot. They know.

264
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: A gimbal is simply this. It is a trim that

265
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: rotates and can be pointed directionally. It's what in the

266
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: biz we used to call wall washers or eyeballs. They

267
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: don't look like eyeballs anymore, so thank god, because those

268
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: are pretty ugly. But the point is this, we can

269
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: put a trim in and trim might be you know,

270
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: typically a wall washing trim for a typical recess can

271
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: lights running about thirty dollars. That doesn't break the bank

272
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: to change out a room if you save up a

273
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: little bit for it, and you can make this change

274
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: and it's literally something you can do in an hour

275
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: or so to you know, get on a ladder and

276
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: change out those trims to gimbals. And I want every

277
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: recess can light in this room that's pointing straight down

278
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: at the floor, pointed against the walls against the walls,

279
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: not the floor. Believe me, it will not change the

280
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: amount of light you have in the room, but it

281
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: will refocus it to important things like artwork on the walls,

282
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: or highlighting a window or a door. It will get

283
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: the glare out of everybody's eyes because as you look up,

284
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: they won't be a headlight from a car pointing straight

285
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: down at you. It will be diverted off in a

286
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: different direction. It'll light up the grandfather clock in the room,

287
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: or the bookshelf, or the painting above the fireplace mantle,

288
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: and on and on it goes. Turn those against the

289
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: walls so that you can utilize those lights. Put that

290
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: light on a dimmer, that circuit of lights on a dimmer,

291
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: so you can dim and raise the intensity of the

292
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: light depending on the mood. And here's the third thing.

293
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: The quality of the light, whether you're using independent bulbs

294
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: inside of you know, floor lamps or table lamps, or

295
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: the quality of the led trims, the trims these down

296
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: trims or angled you know, directional trims. The quality of

297
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: those lights need to be high. Now what does that mean.

298
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: It means that there is a thing called the color

299
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 1: rendering index that measures the quality of white light coming

300
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: out of a lighting fixture or a bulb. You can

301
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: find it somewhere on the packaging. And if you don't

302
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: find it somewhere on the packaging, put that light bulb

303
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: back on the shelf. Because the color rendering index is

304
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: about how full of a spectrum of white light it

305
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: is producing and therefore how it reflects and pulls out

306
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: the natural colors and tonality of what that light is

307
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: lighting up. Okay, short order instruction, here is this A

308
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: CRI color rendering in rating of ninety or above is good.

309
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: The color rendering index goes to one hundred, so ninety

310
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: eight is exceptional and excellent. Okay, ninety is fine. Below ninety, no,

311
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 1: you don't want it. Okay. And here's the thing. The

312
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: package probably won't say it that it's below ninety, and

313
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: it just won't say anything about it. And that's why

314
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: you put it back on the shelf, because it hasn't

315
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: passed that threshold. So you pick up a bulb and

316
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: you're looking at it and it's like, you know, CRI

317
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: rating or color rendering index ninety six ninety said, that's

318
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: the bulb. Okay. That means that the color of green

319
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: on that wall against those things will come back full.

320
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: It won't be muddy, it won't be you know, gray cast,

321
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: It'll be full and rendered beautiful colors. And of course

322
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: color temperature. Now I said eighteen hundred degrees kelvin is

323
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: romantic candlelight. You don't want all the lights in your

324
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: house to be eighteen hundred degrees kelvin because everything is

325
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: just amber amber warm on warm, too warm. But we

326
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: don't want the color index of indoor bulbs going over

327
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: three thousand, because then they start to turn blue, okay,

328
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: and blue is harsh and it's cold, and it doesn't

329
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: work for indoor and it does not increase romance at all.

330
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: So ideally three thousand, ideally twenty eight hundred kelvin. Twenty

331
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: eight hundred k that's what it should say on the

332
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: side of the bulb. Three thousand max. Okay, you can

333
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: get by with three thousand. It's very bright, but it's

334
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: not cold. Anything above three thousand, no, not for indoor lighting. Okay.

335
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: So we want the bulbs or the trims in those

336
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: recess can lights changed out so that they're pointing towards

337
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: things on the walls, not straight down on the floor.

338
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: The light will bounce off the wall. I promise you

339
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: the room will not be darker, just as much light

340
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: it's just reflecting off the walls instead of coming straight

341
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: down overhead, onto the floor and onto you. You got that?

342
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: Are you with me? All right? I'm handing to pearls here,

343
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: my friends. These are inexpensive ways of upping the romance.

344
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: And then, like a good theater manager, right, my engineer

345
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: is sitting in the studio right now with audio control

346
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: of this show. And guess what. Yeah, there are little

347
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: switches to turn on feeds, but above every switch there

348
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: is a slider. You know what I'm talking about. A slider.

349
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: That's what a dimmer is. It's theatrical control for the room,

350
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: so that you've got a choice beyond off and on. No,

351
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: you should have every choice in between, depending on the

352
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: time of day, the noun of light that's coming in,

353
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: the amount of people in the room, and the way

354
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: you want to use the room. Get control of those

355
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: lights with dimmers. All right, got a couple more to

356
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: hand you before we're done today, So don't go anywhere.

357
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: We will continue this conversation when we come back. You

358
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: are home with Dean Shark. The house Whisper.

359
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

360
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty.

361
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Here to take your home to the next level. We've

362
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: been talking about raising the romance of your home. Here

363
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: we are in the last segment. Don't go anywhere. I've

364
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: still got some comments for you you're not gonna want

365
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: to miss. Thank you for hanging in there with us today.

366
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun, great calls as always,

367
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: and it's always a pleasure and a privilege to spend

368
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: time with you on the weekend. I know what your

369
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: weekends are like. I get them, I get how important

370
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: they are. And that's why it is not lost on

371
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: me that you and I get to spend time together

372
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: talking about this all important thing that we call home.

373
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: All right, raising the romance level. There's so many more

374
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: things that we could talk about. They really, really, truly

375
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: are I just want to hit a few other items here.

376
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: I've left lighting behind. Now let's talk about textures in

377
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: a room. You notice today by the way, that I

378
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: could have gone into the whole major remodel thing. Yeah,

379
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: we could talk about tearing the bathroom into an oasis,

380
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: soaking tubs and rainfowl rainfall, shower heads and heated floors.

381
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: And we could talk about the kitchen. That's another area

382
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: of huge romance, right the heart of the home, absolutely

383
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: the heart of the American home. The romance of food

384
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: should be self explanatory, Okay, whether you are a foodie

385
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: or not, food affects you. The aroma of food, the

386
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: taste of food, the emotions that good food elicits, and

387
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: the time that can be spent in the food preparation area,

388
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: bonding as family, in relationships with each other, cooperating, working together,

389
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: producing our food, you know, and on and on and on,

390
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: so many facets. And we will spend time this year

391
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: talking about each of those things for their own shows, okay,

392
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: but I'm just touching on it now. And then outdoors,

393
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: of course, all of that kind of stuff. Outdoor ambiance

394
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: is huge. That's primal romance, by the way. Primal romance

395
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: destinations in your outdoor space instead of just oh the

396
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: yard rooms, creating rooms out there, not out of walls

397
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: and dry wall and studs, but out of spatial definition

398
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: out there, pathways to patios away from the house. The

399
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: patio doesn't have to be that big slab of cement

400
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: connected to the house, right up next to the hot

401
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: stucco walls of the house. We can get away from

402
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: the house. We can get out into the yard and

403
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: spend time out there. Where is the best spot to

404
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: stand in your yard? Forget about what's underneath your feet,

405
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: forget about what's there or not there. Walk your yard

406
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: and ask yourself this question, where is the space that

407
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: I would love to just sit in my yard? Well,

408
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: why isn't there a table there? Let's get it there,

409
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: string lighting in the yard, the fire pit, you know, obviously,

410
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: seating for two or more, sometimes seating for just two.

411
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes areas if you've got the room for you know,

412
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: intimate parties or the large feast table for the family.

413
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: There are so many things we can talk about in

414
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: regards to outdoor romance, and then sound. Sound is a

415
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: whole nother aspect, whether it's musical, the ability to get

416
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: music playing across the yard, the ability to bring nature

417
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: sounds inside the house, or the ability to mask out

418
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: the sounds of the city or traffic, and so on.

419
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: Sound is a foundation of emotion and connection when it

420
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: comes to just human biology. So all of those things possible,

421
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: but I've stayed away from the major remodel bucks. I'm

422
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: focusing on things that we can change now and change

423
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: for not a whole lot of money. And so the

424
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: last thing I just want to touch on textures inside

425
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: the house. How does your furniture feel, feel, not look

426
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: feel okay? Warmth, coziness, comfort, sleek, cool, All of these

427
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: things going into play. Our living room is I think

428
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: we've done a pretty good job with it. We have leather.

429
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: You can lay down on some leather and at the

430
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: same time grab a thick, cozy blanket that feels like fur.

431
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: It isn't fur, but feels like fur. Lush, cozy, warm,

432
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: curl up in that contrast in texture, the contrasting difference

433
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: between leather and fur, for instance, as a just two

434
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: textures to contrast each other. All of that kind of stuff.

435
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: How does the house feel if you were a blind person,

436
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: a sightless person, and you lived in that space, how

437
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: would the design focus and affect you? Because guess what

438
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: those same things focus or not and affect you. That's

439
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: simply the truth of it, all right. So that's where

440
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: we're going to leave it for today, except for a

441
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: closing thought which is very much related to it along

442
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: the way. You know, all of this that we're talking

443
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: about is about intention. Romance relationships are about intention. It's

444
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: about what I intentional. They don't happen by accident. Life

445
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: changing relationships don't happen by accident. Your relationship with your

446
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: home does not happen by accident. It happens through intention.

447
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 1: That is life. Success in life is about intention. I

448
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: think about archery. I know that's a weird thought, but

449
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: it's simply this. You know, I enjoy archery. I have

450
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: a couple of bows, and here's the principle of archery.

451
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: A bow is a temporary battery for energy that you

452
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: possession your own body. Do you know that when I

453
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: stretch a bow, I am transferring strength from my arm

454
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: and chest muscles into the curve of that bow. I've

455
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: just moved that energy from me into the bow. And

456
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: then when I release that string, all of that energy

457
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: is released and it flings the arrow forward into time

458
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: and space. That's intention. You intentionally invest in a thing

459
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: and then it comes back and it reflects back to you.

460
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Winston Churchill possibly my one all time favorite quote about

461
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: architecture and design by a non architect, non designer, but

462
