Bob joins the project's interior designer, Jonathan Adler, in the guest bedroom to discuss the decor. Adler used a Lucite shelf to add storage space without making the small room appear smaller. The rug is goatskin and the bed is from the West Elm Catalog, a local Brooklyn retailer that specializes in "urban living". The room is painted in Wheatland Beige from Bob's Signature line of paints. In the second bedroom Adler borrowed ideas from David Hicks to design a sumptuous office. He uses bold patterns, colors and materials to mix pop art with luxury. Bob points out a 1970 reproduction Thonet rocking chair made with chrome instead of the typical bentwood.

Bob tours the finished upstairs focusing on the interior design.

Homeowner Teresa Fogolini greets Bob as he enters the house for the final walkthrough. Bob remarks that this is move-in time for the homeowners, but little remains of their belongings since they lost virtually everything when Hurricane Charley destroyed their home. Cynthia Guncsaga from Bacon's Furniture Galleries joins them to explain how they determined furniture selections and design schemes for the new home. Guncsaga explains that it's important to learn from the homeowners, what they like, and start from there to assemble groupings and themes. Fogolini and Bob mention the Porcelanosa steel-look tile that became the driving force for the colors selected inside, picking up on the blues, browns, and natural hues in the tile. The bamboo welcome garden in the front yard becomes a material theme that is carried throughout, in the furniture frames, tables, and chairs. Art that reflects the style of the homeowners including a painting depicting a hurricane survival kit are on loan from Presseller's Gallery in Punta Gorda. In the bedroom, natural wood tones continue and complement the Brazilian Walnut hardwood floor from Bellawood. Neutral tiles and earth tones complete the look in the master bath.

Homeowners Jeanne Sanviti-Masher and David Masher look at the finished dining room with Bob. Using a favorite landscape painting by Priscilla Serafin, a local Rowley artist, Jeanne chose a muted yellow for the walls. For the dining room table, the Mashers decided to match mission-style upholstered chairs through Design Works, a Cape Cod furniture purveyor that created the table and provided Portuguese pottery, French flatware, and Czechoslovakian crystal, all from the Juliska line, to complete the look.

Bob meets with Jonathan Adler and his partner to discuss the penthouse's interior design. From walls featuring a Marmorino finish, to the camel colored leather chairs and vintage mid-century seating, Adler has created a happy, welcoming feel. Adler's eclectic tastes take the visitor from acid lime green accents to red and brown carpeting to add a lived in hominess to the urban apartment. Adler pulls style out of his artistic hat to bring together opposing fashions into a conglomerate of New York panache and Palm Beach flare. Bob points out the reverse direction matchstick blinds from Smith + Noble that provides ample natural light.

The renovations to the Miami condo are complete. Bob is joined by architect Michael Pierce as he goes through the apartment to look at design details that have made the remodel a success. They discuss the 1960s layout that was removed, the space that was opened up, and the clean, sleek lines that are now in place. Light enters the apartment and penetrates to the interior since the popcorn ceilings, dark capeting, and dividing walls have been removed. The circle dining area serves as design focus for the apartment, with a flexible circle of track lighting above it from MSK Illuminations in New York. The pendant fixture serves to anchor the space, while the chrome-look edging of the counters carries the sense of light throughout the dining, kitchen, and bar areas.

Bob and architect Michael Pierce review the elements of DD Allen's interior design for the Miami condo. While the dominant colors throughout are calm whites and blue grays, Pierce stresses that he and Allen choose to punctuate their designs with punches of furniture and color. The magenta Morrison three couch, which is a recumbant three draws the eye as does the purple velvet chair from the 1940s. These strong punches of color are offset by a series of black and white photos by Miami photographer Iran Itzakhan, the Kagan white kidney couch, and the white art deco-style table made by project supervisor David Southard through his furniture-making business, DS Woodworks.

Bob meets with Jonathan Adler and Darren Brown to discuss the penthouse apartment's main living spaces. The two-bedroom apartment is almost a loft with its wide-open floor plan. Unlike most older New York apartments this one has great natural light. The designers are choosing deep earthy tones in the fabrics that will complement the natural brick wall and rustic structural beam. In the second bedroom/office, a skylight helps lighten the room so that crisp colors as well as dark browns can be used to make the space inviting and casually livable. Adler is using David Hicks for inspiration on the office layout colors and lines. The late David Hicks (1929-98) came to prominence in the 1960s with his eclectic style, bold use of color and his mantra, 'Interior Decoration is the art of achieving the maximum with the minimum'

Bob tours the house with Robyn Peterson, our interior designer. She points out the built in cabinets around the bar in the den, then takes him shopping for fabrics to start brainstorming for final touches. She suggests natural colors and fabrics from sisal rugs to earthy colors in faded linen and historic reproduction fabrics.

Bob meets with Vicki Ward and the owner to discuss the interior design details.
