1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to the host of

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Home on KFI Saturdays from six to eight am, Sundays

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: from nine to noon. It's our house, whispered Dean Sharp.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Good morning, Dean, Good morning Amy. Okay, so we've heard

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: about Romancing the Stone. Great movie. Yeah, who is that

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. Yeah, yeah, that was a

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: fun one.

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: That's way back.

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: It is way back. So we're going to fast forward

10
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: to today and we're talking about romancing your home.

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: Yes, you're the first one actually who actually drew that

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: parallel between those two titles, So good on you.

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: I am Cliff Claven. I have lots of little useless

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: facts running around in my head.

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. So this Sunday on the Big Show, we're going

16
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: to be talking about ways of making your home a

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: better as we always do. More lovable, yeah, more leveled.

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: This is more romantic. And when I say romantic, yeah,

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: it's Valentine's Day weekend. And sure we're going to be

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: talking about those kinds of mood setting things if you

21
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: live with a significant other, but that's not really the goal.

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: When I talk about romance in a home, I'm talking

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: about you know, I use it as a synonym for

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: words like beautiful, lovely, charming, idealic, picturesque, those kinds of things.

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: So we're talking about raising the level of just good

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: mood in your home, you know what, all different ways.

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: That's so cool. You're so right, because you do. You

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: walk into some homes and it just gives you like

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: a warm, fuzzy feeling, like you just go, oh, it's

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: so cozy and warm and lovy, and you know, it

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: just has that vibe to it.

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want, we want spaces to wrap themselves around

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: us and enhance, you know, all the best emotions inside

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: of us. And so as a designer, when I walk

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: around a house and I say, you know what, I'd

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: love to make this room just a little bit more

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: romantic this way, I often get side looks from you know,

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: from owners who like, what, we've never made out in

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: this room. Okay, we probably we will never make out

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: in this room. And that's not my point. That's really

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: not the point. So I use the word romantic as

42
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: an opposite of like utilitarian, right, and like when it

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: comes to lighting, for instance, romantic lighting in a room

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: is not lighting up like the living room or the

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 2: family room with a lot of overhead lights and making

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: it all bright like a gymnasium, which is not romantic lighting.

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: Romantic lighting is allowing pools of light to form around

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: important objects on the walls, or pieces of art or

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: areas to sit, and then allowing shadow to also be

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: present in the room so that well, for a number

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: of different reason shadow, a room without shadow is a

52
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: room that has no depth, has no texture to it.

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: Shadows are really really important when it comes to lighting

54
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: something beautifully. And also in fact, I was just sitting

55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: in an area like this a few minutes ago in

56
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: my own living room. Lighting, especially at night, is one

57
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: of those things that we used to define an area

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: and a space. You know, I have a large living room,

59
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: but we've got an area sitting next to the fire

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: where there are just a couple of chairs, couple of

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: chug club chairs, where you know, we like to sit

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: and do a little reading and do a little thinking.

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: And if we were to light up the entire living room,

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: then the whole room is kind of big for one

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: person sitting in it. But interestingly enough, just the lamps

66
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: over by the scon slamps over by the fireplace light

67
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: up on the floor area you know, just about an

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: eight foot area, and when you're sitting inside it, you're

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: essentially sitting in just that room, and things get dark

70
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: beyond it, and it feels even though you're in a

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: large room, much cozier, much more intimate, much more comfortable.

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: It absolutely makes sense. And I'm make sturing myself seeing

74
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, like sitting like you were talking about in

75
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: the little sitting area, and everything else is just kind

76
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: of quiet around.

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: You, exactly exactly, So we can use lighting to control

78
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: the space of a room, the size of a room,

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: the intimacy of a room, and the ability to be

80
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: able to change that light as the day progresses or

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: as the needs of the room progress and change. That's

82
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: the very essence of really setting a room up so

83
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: it can be at its most romantic for every situation

84
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: and every time of day.

85
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: Okay, and then one of the I know, you've got

86
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: so many things that you're going to talk about, but

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: this one kind of jumped out at me. You were

88
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: talking to about romancing your home and how to do

89
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: it if you're partnered and if you're single. There are

90
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: different things you know you.

91
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: Do Yeah, I mean, okay, So one example would be

92
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 2: what we just talked about. This is something that applies

93
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: to whether there's two of you sitting together in a

94
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: room or whether it's just you. And one of the

95
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: things that I ask of folks who are on their

96
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: own is you know, are you worth it?

97
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: I just find a lie on my own.

98
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm worth it, exactly. I know you are. I find

99
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: a lot of single people who are like meh, you know,

100
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: I'm just here alone, whatever, whatever, And I really think

101
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: there's just a big missed opportunity. It doesn't matter, you know,

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: around Valentine's Day. It doesn't matter when it comes to

103
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: increasing the romance in your home whether or not you

104
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: are with a significant other or you are there just

105
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: your significant other. Is you okay? What matters is whether

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: you're valuing yourself in the process. And so the idea

107
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: of like, you know what, it's time to turn my

108
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: bathroom into that spa like retreat that I deserve. You know,

109
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: that gets all of my applause and my attention as

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: your designer.

111
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: I love that. So you're gonna be talking about romancing

112
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: your home this weekend. That's Sunday nine to noon, and

113
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,720

Speaker 1: with Dean and have a great weekend. And don't forget
