Malibu Master Bedroom Tour

Bob and our designer, Robyn, take us on a tour of the master bedroom and Bath. Starting in Bath Bob points out the simple extravagant Mexican tile peacocks on the wall of the bathtub surround and shower. Jim Schneider uses ultra glass to mold glass into a pattern. In the Bedroom Robyn found a new hand painted chest from Peru. It is decorated inside and out. The fabrics in the bedroom linen pillows with a hand stitched pattern and 100% cotton Battenberg sheets. She used unbleached twill for the drapes that match the sofas downstairs. The Antiqued wood cabinetry adds warmness to the bedroom. The painting over the mantel is The Dancer by Juan Jose Seguro from Madrid in 1941.

" Let's look in the master bath first I want to see what we've done with the top where it's almost finished prestook putting finishing touch off. Is that incredible that they routed out. The peacocks hit head it's it's a great thing in this -- barred it from the -- house but it's been interpreted by the Mexican artisans down there in a very kind of simple way it's very pretty. Well of course you know you hear -- don't -- back from which you can take one item like that one of the -- and put it in house to make it really special had a -- not surprised he made.

" Well this glass is altered glass we manufacture this less. With a unique European design process that -- we've cut molding like this or whatever you want in this case it's the -- in the minds yet. And down that we put a piece of flat glass on the small and heated up to a high temperature. You know what's so cool it down into slumps and kind of sanctions function of the hole and then when it cools down we report on cleaning up -- which now. It sounds simple enough but it's just a beautiful resolved well gives us -- surface that is that is very. Background motif that."

Don't tell me a little bit about all the different fabrics that I see here I love fabrics because it gives it texture to a room that you don't get a -- to stick with one in particular we've. Now on this headboard here. I made a serious -- that I fell in love with a very expensive fabric and it has that look of old fourteen any fabric.

Selecting and Installing Window Treatments
Selecting and Installing Window Treatments

Bob and interior designer Leslie Curtis discuss the window treatments in this episode. Curtis is working in the dining room, where Kevin Murphy from Smith + Noble is on site finishing up the installation of the company�s window treatment hardware. Curtis chose a twisted rod made from mahogany and located the curtain rod brackets outside of the window�s frame for a better view of the home�s landscaping. The curtains are shipped with the rings attached and are ready to hang once they are unpacked. Bob screws the first finial into the predrilled hole in the curtain rod and slides the rod through the curtain rings. Then, the second finial is attached and the rod is simply placed on the wall brackets. Curtis ordered curtains slightly long to create a slight puddle of fabric at the floor for a more formal look.

Cool Windows
Cool Windows

Here s another great tip from BobVila.com. Before you add to your electric bill trying to keep cool this summer, add something to your windows instead. The first principle of passive cooling is to keep the heat from getting inside. Even though it seems like a wintertime activity, weatherstripping your windows and doors and caulking gaps can really make a difference in summer, too. There are lots of ways to shade your windows from the sun, and if they seem a little old-fashioned, it s because they worked even before there was air conditioning. Large roof overhangs and porches, awnings, shutters and louvers can all be seen on old southern homes. Awnings can actually reduce summer heat gain by up to three-quarters. And you can remove them in winter to let the sunlight in when you need it. Light-colored awnings are best because they deflect more heat. Solar screens are another option. Installed outdoors, they can cut heat gain in half, and you can still enjoy the view. Interior window treatments aren t quite as effective as the outdoor methods, but they re better than nothing. Densely woven fabric drapes, Venetian blinds or roller shades will control some heat gain just by keeping out direct sunlight. Again, lighter colors are most effective. If you re replacing your windows, ask about low-E glass. A low-E, or low-emissivity coating, depending on which surface of the window it s applied to, can keep heat where you want it and keep your costs down year-round.

Stage Your House for Resale
Stage Your House for Resale

Here's another great tip from BobVila.com. Staging your home or creating a clean, well-presented space that draws positive attention can add 15 to 20 percent to the selling price. You can hire a professional stylist or do it yourself. Here are the basics. First, clear the junk. Ruthlessly trash clutter and pack away personal items like family photos and knickknacks. Rent a self-storage space for half your furniture. Empty closets and most of the kitchen cabinets and rearrange rooms to show more floor space. Re-paint areas that show wear and tear or where expressions of personal taste might be distracting, and make the obvious repairs like leaky faucets and cracked window panes. Extra storage space in sheds, attics, basements and garages is a very good selling point, so clear them out as well. Junk removal services can save a lot of backache and disposal hassles. Scrub everything, including the windows, and let in light and fresh air. open the drapes. If they re worn or outdated, take them down. Imagine you re taking photos for a magazine: Fluff the pillows, set the dining room table and never underestimate the power of fresh flowers. Don t forget the yard. Get rid of any piles of debris, re-seed the lawn, weed the garden and lose that old patio furniture. Who knows after all that, you might not want to move!
