TODAY MOM AND I ARE TACKLING OUR TWEEN GIRLS BEDROOM, AND WE ARE GOING TO CREATE A SPACE THAT WILL IGNITE CREATIVITY AND PERHAPS LAUNCH A CAREER IN HIGH FASHION.

AND BY: [upbeat guitar music] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> WE SELECTED THIS GENEROUS-SIZED ROOM TO USE FOR OUR TEENAGE GIRLS ROOM.

IT HAS GREAT NATURAL LIGHT, PERFECT FOR CRAFTING AND SEWING.

ONE DOORWAY LEADS TO A JACK-AND-JILL BATHROOM, THE OTHER TO A LARGE CLOSET.

THE WINDOWS OFFER ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL AND AN INSPIRING VIEW.

A PRIVATE FOYER CONNECTS TO THE SECOND-FLOOR HALLWAY.

WE HAVE PLENTY OF WALL SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE ALL OUR DESIGN IDEAS.

WHEN WE STARTED PICKING THE THEMES FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ROOM THAT WE WERE GONNA DO AT THE SUSAN G. KOMEN DREAM HOME, WE KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IN THIS ROOM.

>> YOU SEE LOTS OF PRINCE AND PRINCESS ROOMS BUT NOT VERY MANY ROOMS FOR ACTIVE TEENAGERS.

MOM AND I DECIDED TO GIVE THIS ROOM A PROJECT RUNWAY THEME.

MORE AND MORE YOUNG ADULTS ARE BECOMING INTERESTED IN THE WORLD OF FASHION DESIGN AND MARKETING.

IN FACT, SEWING CLASSES ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE FILLING UP, SO MOM AND I WANTED TO CREATE A SPACE THAT WAS GOING TO INSPIRE OUR YOUNG DESIGNERS.

>> AND THE BEST WAY TO GET INSPIRED, OF COURSE, IS WITH A BIG SPLASH OF COLOR.

LOOK AT THE COLOR PALETTE THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH IN THIS ROOM.

IT IS PUMPKIN ORANGE AND RASPBERRY.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE COLOR COMBINATIONS TOGETHER.

WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH TOTALLY DIFFERENT PATTERNS.

TAKE A LOOK.

WE HAVE THESE FUNKY LITTLE SQUARES THAT ARE IN THE FUCHSIA AGAINST THE RASPBERRY AND THEN THE LEAF PATTERN WHICH IS RASPBERRY AND WHITE.

MIXING TOGETHER ALL OF THESE PATTERNS, THE STRIPES AND THE LEAVES AND THE SQUARES, GIVES IT A LOT OF ENERGY AND MAKES IT A LOT OF FUN.

AND THE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES-- WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHAT IT TURNED OUT LIKE.

WE WERE ALSO INSPIRED TO GET A CHAIR CUSTOM-DESIGNED FOR THIS ROOM.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE.

IT HAS A CUT-VELVET ROSE PATTERN IN IT.

WE LOVE IT.

IT LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE IT CAME RIGHT OUT OF PARIS.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, TO TIE IN THE PUMPKIN COLOR, WE HAD THIS CHEST PAINTED SPECIAL JUST FOR US IN THIS ROOM.

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THE WAY THIS WHOLE ROOM TURNS OUT.

>> SELECTING THE ARTWORK FOR THIS ROOM WAS A LOT OF FUN.

OUR BELOVED FRIEND JOHN MCELWEE, WHO IS HEAD OF THE THEATER DEPARTMENT BEGAN HIS CAREER, IN BROADWAY DESIGN, FASHION DESIGN.

AND HE AGREED TO LET US BORROW A FEW OF HIS PERSONAL SKETCHES.

AREN'T THESE MAGNIFICENT?

WE'RE GONNA HANG THESE ALL AROUND HER WORKSTATION IN HERE, SO IT'S TO INSPIRE HER CREATIVITY.

NOW, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THESE PRINTS, WE'RE GOING TO HANG A HANDY BULLETIN BOARD THAT SHE CAN USE TO COLLECT ALL OF HER THOUGHTS AND IDEAS.

MOM IS GOING TO SHARE WITH US AN EASY WAY THAT YOU CAN CREATE A BULLETIN BOARD FOR ANY CRAFTY SPACE IN YOUR HOME.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT CRAFTING IS, YOU CAN SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AROUND YOUR HOUSE IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF.

NOW, WE HAVE A SEWING ROOM GOING ON IN OUR GIRLS BEDROOM, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT COMES WITH EVERY PATTERN THAT YOU BUY ARE INSTRUCTION SHEETS LIKE THIS.

AND IF YOU SEW, YOU KNOW HOW YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THESE.

SO WE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD CREATE A PROJECT BOARD TO HANG ON THE WALL.

AND THEN THAT WAY, SHE COULD JUST PIN UP HER INSTRUCTIONS RIGHT ON THIS BOARD RIGHT OVER HER SEWING MACHINE, AND SHE'D ALWAYS HAVE THEM HANDY.

NOW, I WENT TO THE LOCAL CRAFT STORE, AND I BOUGHT THIS FRAME.

I GOT IT ON CLEARANCE FOR $20, 'CAUSE IT HAD A LITTLE NICK ON IT, WHICH WE'LL COVER UP WITH A MAGIC MARKER.

AND THEN I SIMPLY REMOVED THE GLASS AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN IT.

NOW, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS, YOU WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU MEASURE THE WIDTH OF THE OPENING FROM THE BACK SIDE, AND THEN YOU WANT TO USE THAT MEASUREMENT TO DETERMINE HOW LARGE TO MAKE YOUR HOMASOTE THAT GOES INSIDE.

NOW, THESE ARE THE FABRICS RIGHT DOWN HERE THAT WE'RE USING IN OUR BEDROOM.

THEY'RE BRIGHT.

THEY'RE BOLD.

THEY'RE COLORFUL.

WE HAVE ORANGE AND THIS BERRY COLOR.

SO I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT WE NEEDED TO PICK ANOTHER FABRIC FOR IT.

SO I WENT TO THE-- OR ANOTHER PATTERN FOR IT.

SO I WENT TO T FABRIC STORE, PICKED A SOLID COLOR THAT MATCHES, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA USE TO COVER OUR BOARD WITH.

NOW, THIS IS HOMASOTE, AND HOMASOTE IS JUST COMPRESSED NEWSPAPER.

SO YOU CAN GET THIS AT THE LUMBERYARD.

AND WE COVER.

WE CUT THIS DOWN TO SIZE.

NOW, SIZE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

FIRST OF ALL, DON'T MAKE IT EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE AS YOUR FRAME, BECAUSE ONCE YOU WRAP FABRIC AND BATTING AROUND THIS, IT WON'T FIT BACK IN.

SO CUT IT AT LEAST 1/4 OF AN INCH SMALLER THAN YOUR FRAME.

ALWAYS MEASURE TWICE.

CUT ONCE.

NOW, THIS IS BATTING, AND THIS BATTING IS WHAT YOU USE TO MAKE A QUILT WITH.

AND IT'S JUST GONNA GIVE A LITTLE EXTRA CUSHION TO OUR BULLETIN BOARD, AND IT WILL JUST MAKE IT LOOK A LOT NICER.

THE FABRIC IS CUT 2 OR 3 INCHES LARGER THAN YOUR HOMASOTE.

ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS BEND THIS UP OVER THE SIDE, TAKE A STAPLE GUN, AND JUST STAPLE IT DOWN.

BE SURE IF YOU'RE NOT WEARING GLASSES LIKE I AM THAT YOU ARE WEARING SAFETY GLASSES.

YOU WANT TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN THIS SIDE.

FOLD IN THE CORNERS, AND TO DO THAT, JUST TUCK 'EM OVER LIKE THAT.

AND TRY TO KEEP 'EM NICE AND TIGHT.

DON'T MAKE 'EM REAL BULKY, BECAUSE AGAIN, THEY WON'T FIT BACK IN THE FRAME.

AND STAPLE THEM DOWN.

ONCE YOU'VE GONE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE OUTSIDE, THEN YOU CAN HAVE A DECORATIVE TOUCH ADDED TO IT.

AND THIS WAS SO CUTE I COULDN'T RESIST IT.

LOOK AT THIS LITTLE FRINGE WITH THESE GREAT LITTLE DANGLIES ON IT, HAS JUST THE COLORS WE'RE WORKING WITH.

WE'RE GONNA RUN A STRIP OF THIS RIGHT ACROSS THE TOP OF OUR BOARD, BEND IT OVER THE TOP, STAPLE IT DOWN SO IT GIVES A LITTLE PIZZAZZ TO THE PROJECT.

PUT THIS INTO OUR FRAME.

TAPE IT IN WITH SOME BLACK TAPE.

ADD OUR HANGERS TO THE BACK OF IT SO WE CAN HANG IT UP.

AND THEN JUST FOR FUN, WE MAY TAKE SOME OF THESE LITTLE PLASTIC PINS THAT WE HAVE, GLUE THESE LITTLE DEALS ON THE END OF 'EM, AND SHE'S GONNA HAVE A GREAT PROJECT BOARD.

>> MOM, I LOVE THE BULLETIN BOARD.

I THINK IT'S JUST SO CUTE, AND IT'S PERFECT.

IT'S GONNA JUST REALLY ANCHOR OUR ARTWORK FOR US.

>> I THINK IT'S REALLY CUTE TOO.

I'M HAPPY WITH THE WAY IT TURNED OUT.

OKAY, I SEE WE GOT OUR PICTURES OUT HERE; I LOVE THESE.

>> I WAS STARTING TO LAY 'EM OUT, AND I WAS THINKING, "OKAY "IF WE DID PINK AND PINK, OBVIOUS, AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE MATCHING FRAMES."

BUT THIS IS A LITTLE TOO ORDERLY FOR ME.

THIS IS A CREATIVE ROOM.

>> YEAH, WELL, WE'VE GOT THE GOLD PIECES TO GO IN HERE TOO, SO I KNOW WHERE THESE ARE GONNA END UP, AND I KNOW ALREADY BEFORE I EVEN TRY IT THAT THIS IS NOT GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT WE LIKE HERE.

OKAY.

WELL, ALL RIGHT, LET'S TRY SHIFTING THEM AROUND.

I'M GONNA MOVE THIS GUY RIGHT HERE OVER AND LET'S TRY... >> YOU KNOW, THIS IS REALLY THE SECRET, TOO, IS, BEFORE YOU START LAYING OUT A COLLECTION OF PICTURES, DON'T GO TO YOUR WALL; LAY 'EM OUT ON THE FLOOR.

THAT'S THE BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO.

AND YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE UP HERE SO YOU CAN GET A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GONNA LOOK LIKE ON THE WALL.

>> OKAY.

>> IT'S KIND OF FUNKY, A LITTLE BIT CREATIVE.

>> IT DOESN'T FLOW, THOUGH, RIGHT, DOES IT?

I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO END UP BEING SO SYMMETRICAL.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO BACK TO PUTTING THIS ONE OVER HERE.

I DON'T REALLY MIND THE LITTLE ONES BEING DOWN THERE.

I JUST--I DON'T THINK... LET ME SEE.

LET'S PUT THEM BACK OVER LIKE THIS.

>> NOW, OF COURSE, WE DON'T WANT EVERYTHING TO BE MATCHY-MATCHY.

AND WE DID HAVE SOME OTHER ONES IN THE COLLECTION, BUT THEY HAD DIFFERENT COLOR MATS ON THEM AND DIFFERENT COLOR FRAMES.

SO WE PULLED THOSE ONES OUT ENTIRELY, AND WE'LL PLACE THOSE IN OTHER SPOTS IN THE ROOM.

>> OKAY, THESE ARE WORKING OKAY FOR ME, BECAUSE THEY'RE LITTLE AND THERE'S A LOT OF DETAIL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?

>> I WAS GONNA SAY, POP HER UP.

>> THERE YOU GO.

>> AND JUST...PYRAMID.

I LIKE THAT MUCH BETTER.

IT'S SORT OF A STAIR STEP A LITTLE BIT.

>> UH-HUH, AS LONG WE KEEP THE SPACE EQUAL TO... >> BUT IT'S, LIKE, A NICE "U" SHAPE.

IT'S NOT, LIKE, A REAL POINTY THING.

>> OKAY, I LIKE THAT.

>> AND WE ONLY HAVE 5 FEET TO WORK WITH.

>> ALL RIGHT, ONCE YOU'VE DECIDED THAT YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THE LAYOUT-- AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, LIKE, A WHOLE FREE WAY TO DO IT, BECAUSE, WELL, LOOK HOW MUCH WE MOVED THEM AROUND, THEN YOU WANT TO TAKE CRAFT PAPER.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE CRAFT PAPER, YOU CAN EVEN USE JUST NEWSPAPER.

AND CUT OUT A TEMPLATE FOR EACH ONE.

SO GET THE ONES THAT WE'VE GOT AND... >> YOU CAN ALSO TAKE AND ROLL CRAFT PAPER ON YOUR FLOOR AND THEN TRACE EACH ONE OUT AFTER YOU GET THEM INTO POSITION.

>> OKAY, THAT'S THAT ONE.

>> YEP.

>> AND THEN WHAT WE WILL DO IS, WE WILL MARK EACH ONE OF THESE.

"DANCER LADY NUMBER 5."

>> [laughs] >> THIS WILL BE THIS RIGHT HERE.

OKAY, SO THESE ARE ALL ALIGNED IN THE TOP.

SO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS TURN YOUR PICTURE AROUND LIKE THIS AND WITH YOUR PAPER ON THE BACK, JUST SIMPLY PULL UP WHERE YOUR NAIL'S GONNA GO AND JUST LAY THIS OUT ACROSS THE BACK OF IT.

AND JUST WITH YOUR FINGER, YOU CAN CREASE IT.

MAKE A LITTLE BITTY HOLE.

AND THEN THAT IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO TAPE THIS TO THE WALL.

AND THAT'S WHERE YOUR NAIL GOES SO THAT THIS PICTURE WILL HANG EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT.

AND, OF COURSE, YOU STILL HAVE ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY ONCE YOU GET THESE ALL TAPED TO THE WALL.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS, TAKE 'EM OFF AND CHANGE 'EM.

WINDOWS DO NOT HAVE TO BE BARE, NOT WHEN YOU HAVE FRIENDS LIKE I DO THAT CAN HELP YOU CREATE WONDERFUL WINDOW TREATMENTS.

>> HEY, ANDY.

>> HELLO THERE, VICKI.

>> THIS IS SO CUTE.

I LOVE IT.

>> ISN'T THAT SOMETHING?

BEAUTIFUL FABRIC.

>> BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT.

WE'RE GONNA HANG THIS DIFFERENT THAN WE'VE BEEN DOING ALL THE CURTAINS IN THE HOUSE.

>> YEAH, THERE'S NO RODS INVOLVED IN THIS.

THIS IS CALLED A BOARD-MOUNTED TREATMENT, WHICH, IT'S STAPLED ONTO A 1x4 BOARD COVERED WITH LINING.

>> OKAY, THAT WAY, WE DON'T HAVE TO INVEST ANY MONEY IN HARDWARE, BECAUSE THIS WOOD IS SO CHEAP, RIGHT?

>> AND THEN THE WINDOW TREATMENT IS JUST STAPLED RIGHT ON THERE.

>> OKAY, NOW HOW ARE WE GONNA MOUNT THIS TO THE WALL?

>> OKAY, I'VE GOT SOME ANGLE IRONS THAT WE'LL USE.

WE WILL ATTACH THAT TO THE WALL AND THEN SET THIS WINDOW TREATMENT RIGHT ON TOP OF IT LIKE SO.

>> AND THEN YOU'LL JUST SCREW THROUGH THE TOP OF THIS?

>> SCREW RIGHT INTO IT.

>> NOW, SEE, THAT'S HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT, BECAUSE IF IT WERE ME, I'D ATTACH THIS TO THE BOARD.

THEN I'D BE UNDERNEATH THE CURTAINS UP THERE DOING IT.

>> THAT'S A LITTLE HARDER TO DO, BUT... >> OKAY, SO THIS IS GONNA GO RIGHT UP THERE.

AND WE'RE ONLY GONNA MAKE OUR DRAPERIES JUST HANG PERMANENTLY ON EACH SIDE.

WE LOVE THE WINDOWS.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO COVER 'EM ALL UP, AND WE'VE GOT JUST NOTHING BUT TREES OUT THERE, SO WE DON'T NEED THE PRIVACY.

OKAY, SO YOU'RE GONNA INSTALL THESE, BUT TELL ME WHAT THIS DESIGN IS.

I THINK THESE ARE SO CUTE.

>> THIS WAS A DESIGN-- I THINK THEY CALL THIS A WATERFALL BRENDA SWAG, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

>> A BRENDA SWAG, HUH?

SO YOUR SEAMSTRESS, BRENDA, SPEAKING OF WHICH, DID A GREAT JOB FOR US.

>> THANKS, VICKI.

>> OKAY, NOW, BRENDA, YOU WERE OUR HEAD DESIGNER ON OUR BEDDING HERE IN THE GIRLS ROOM.

AND BRENDA HAS HER OWN WORKROOM THAT SHE DOES CUSTOM BEDDING AND DRAPERY, SO SHE WAS THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB OBVIOUSLY.

BRENDA, EVERYTHING LOOKS FABULOUS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I LOVE IT.

OKAY, BUILDING OUR BED, WE STARTED WHERE?

>> WE STARTED--WELL, STARTED WITH MY DRAPERY PANELS.

BUT FOR THE BED, WE STARTED WITH THE-- TRYING TO PULL IN THE COLORS.

WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT COLORS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, AS VICKI'S ALREADY TOLD US.

AND YOU KIND OF WANT TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE PULLED OUT.

AND SO WE THOUGHT WE'D DO A LITTLE PEEK OF COLOR THAT'S IN THE DUVET IN OUR DUST RUFFLE.

>> OKAY, SO NOW WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THIS DUST RUFFLE DESIGN THAT YOU DID?

I MEAN, IS THIS IS BOXED PLEAT, BUT IT'S A PEEK-A-BOO BOX?

>> RIGHT, IT'S A BOX PLEAT TRYING TO SHOW A LITTLE MORE COLOR, AND WE ADDED SOME BUTTONS.

>> OKAY, NOW, TO ATTACH THIS BED SKIRT, THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN MOST PEOPLE HAVE PROBABLY SEEN.

USUALLY, THEY'VE GOT THE ONE PIECE AND THEY THROW IT OVER AND LAY IT DOWN, WHICH IS ALWAYS A PAIN IN THE TUSH TO PUT ON, RIGHT?

BUT THIS ONE, YOU ACTUALLY-- NOW, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT WE'RE GONNA PIN THIS INTO PLACE, RIGHT?

>> YOU ARE, AND WE DO THIS BECAUSE IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER TO GET A CORRECT LENGTH.

>> OKAY, SO YOU CAN MANIPULATE IT?

>> RIGHT.

>> OKAY.

AND WHAT WE'RE USING ARE THESE LITTLE...

I'VE NEVER THESE BEFORE, BUT THESE ARE REALLY COOL.

THESE ARE TWIST PINS.

>> RIGHT.

>> OUR NEW BEST FRIEND BRENDA HAS SHOWN US TO THESE TODAY.

BUT THE COOL THING ABOUT THESE IS, BECAUSE THEY JUST TWIST IN... >> IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER TO TAKE THE DUST RUFFLE OFF WITHOUT REMOVING THE MATTRESS SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT CLEANED OR LAUNDRY IT.

>> OKAY, AND THEY TWIST IN, TWIST OUT, LIKE YOU JUST SAID.

THE REST OF THE BEDDING, THOUGH, AROUND HERE, BESIDES OUR DUST RUFFLE, WE WENT BACK, POPPED OUT THAT PEEK-A-BOO FABRIC FOR OUR DUVET, RIGHT?

>> MM-HMM.

>> OKAY, AND THEN ON THE PILLOWS-- TELL ME ABOUT THE PILLOWS, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE DIFFERENT DESIGN THERE.

>> WELL, THIS IS THE BACK SHAM.

IT ADDS JUST A LITTLE MORE INTEREST WITH THE COLOR, ABLE TO BRING IN THREE COLORS.

AND THEN WE HAVE--THE ONES THAT GO IN FRONT OF THIS ARE MADE OUT OF THIS.

AND THEN JUST TO MAKE IT A LITTLE GIRLIE, A LITTLE MORE INTEREST, ADDED THIS.

>> IOVE THE ENVELOPE PILLOW.

THAT'S PERFECT.

>> NOW, SHE SAYS ALL THIS SO CALM AND WITH SUCH EASE, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN.

WHEN THIS FABRIC CAME IN, AND I'M NOT JOKING, FOLKS, ONLY FOUR DAYS AGO, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN MOM AND I RUNNING INTO THE DESIGN AND DRAPERY ACADEMY.

TAKE A LOOK AT US.

>> SLOAN, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT TOOK US THIS LONG TO GET ALL THE FABRIC.

WE SHOULD HAVE HAD IT WEEKS AGO.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT, WE'RE LUCKY WE GOT IT TO BEGIN WITH, AND LET'S HOPE WE'RE JUST AS LUCKY WITH MARGIE INSIDE.

>> YEP, ANDY SAID SHE'D HELP US OUT.

LET'S SEE.

>> OH, LOOK, THERE'S MARGIE.

OH, WAIT, SHE'S TEACHING.

OOH.

>> WE'RE GONNA FLIP IT ABOUT 5 INCHES.

>> HEY, MARGE.

>> MARGIE.

>> HEY, VICKI.

HEY, SLOAN.

>> COME HERE.

>> SURE.

ONE SECOND.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

>> AW, I SURE HOPE SHE CAN HELP US.

>> OF COURSE.

>> HEY, MARGIE, HOW YOU DOING?

>> HI, VICKI.

>> SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOUR CLASS.

I KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

BUT WE HAVE A DECORATOR EMERGENCY, AND ANDY SAID YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US OUT.

WE ORDERED THIS FABRIC FOR THE GIRLS ROOM.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THE SUSAN G. KOMEN DREAM HOUSE.

>> YES, I DO.

>> AND IT JUST CAME IN TODAY.

AND WE NEED THESE DRAPES, LIKE, IN THREE DAYS.

>> WOW.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

>> I WAS THINKING MAYBE SOME OF YOUR STUDENTS MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US OUT, OKAY.

>> OKAY.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

>> WE NEED SOME BEDDING TOO.

>> OKAY, HOLD ON ONE SECOND.

LET ME GET MY PEN.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED.

>> OKAY, WE'VE GOT TWO STATIONARY DRAPES WE WANT FOR THE WINDOWS, AND JUST A SINGLE WIDTH WOULD BE GOOD.

>> OKAY.

>> AND IT'S 102 INCHES FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDOW FRAME TO THE FLOOR, AND YOU'VE GOT ABOUT 8 INCHES ABOVE THAT.

>> OKAY.

>> AND WE'VE GOT THREE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FABRICS HERE.

>> MM-HMM.

SO WE'D LIKE SOMETHING-- AND WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE FABRIC.

IT'S BRIGHT AND FUNKY.

>> OH, GREAT.

>> SO I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD HAVE, LIKE, A FRESH-- SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

>> YEAH, IT'S FOR THE GIRLS, PROJECT RUNWAY THEME.

SO KIND OF MAKE IT FUN.

>> IT'S TWEEN-AGE GIRLS-- SO SOMETHING KIND OF FUNKY.

AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A BED TOO, SO WE NEED... >> QUEEN SIZE.

>> QUEEN SIZE.

>> AND THE DROP.

>> 14-INCH DROP ON THE SKIRT.

>> A DUVET COVER.

>> MM-HMM, DUVET.

>> AND LOTS OF PILLOWS.

>> AND SHAMS.

>> YES.

>> OH, YEAH, WHILE WE'RE AT IT.

IN THREE DAYS.

DO YOU CAN THINK YOU CAN WHIP ALL THIS UP FOR US?

>> THREE DAYS.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

>> OKAY, HERE'S THE GOOD PART, THOUGH: WE'LL LET YOU DESIGN ANYTHING YOU WANT.

WE JUST WANT IT TO BE INSPIRING AND INSPIRATIONAL FOR THIS ROOM.

>> AND FRESH.

>> OKAY, FRESH, YOUNG, HAPPY.

MATTER OF FACT, BRENDA'S BEEN WORKING ON A PROJECT TODAY, AND SHE STARTED IT JUST YESTERDAY.

LET'S BRING THAT IN AND SEE IF THAT'LL WORK FOR YOU.

>> OKAY, GREAT.

>> OKAY, GOOD.

>> RIGHT NOW, ANYTHING'LL WORK FOR US, RIGHT?

>> SOMETHING'S BETTER THAN NOTHING.

>> OOH, THANKS, BRENDA.

OOH, ISN'T THAT PRETTY?

>> IS THIS NICE?

THIS IS A DRAPERY PANEL THAT IS ACTUALLY STAPLED ONTO A BOARD.

>> GOOD, 'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY HARDWARE.

>> OKAY, THIS MAKES IT VERY EASY.

JUST TWO LITTLE ANGLE IRONS WILL PUT THIS UP FOR YOU.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION.

>> PUT IT UP FOR US?

YOU MEAN PUT IT UP FOR ANDY.

>> YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

[laughter] >> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING, LIKE, MAYBE BELTED RIGHT HERE.

>> WITH A SECOND FABRIC?

>> UH-HUH.

>> OKAY, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> PUT SOMETHING AROUND LIKE THAT, MAYBE WITH A BUTTON ON IT.

MORE OF A LITTLE TAILORED, BUT I STILL LIKE THE KIND OF WATERFALLY LOOK TO IT.

IF YOU CAN DO THAT FOR US AND IF YOU CAN DO IT IN THREE DAYS... >> OKAY.

>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> I DON'T THINK WE'LL HAVE ANY PROBLEM.

>> YOU WOULD BE A LIFESAVER.

>> GOOD.

WE'LL DO IT.

>> WE'LL LET YOU BACK TO YOUR CLASS.

>> OKAY.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND TELL BRENDA TO GIVE ME A CALL IF SHE'S GOT ANY QUESTIONS.

>> I SURE WILL.

GOOD LUCK.

>> WE'LL LEAVE OUR FABRIC HERE.

OH, SLOAN, I'M SO EXCITED.

>> WE'VE SELECTED THESE GREAT BLACK STOOLS TO USE AT THE WORKSTATION, NICE, SIMPLE X-BACK DESIGN.

THE ONLY THING IS, IS THEY WERE A LITTLE TOO SIMPLE FOR THIS ROOM.

THE LINEN ON THE SEAT CUSHION HAD TO GO.

SO MOM AND I DECIDED THAT WE WERE JUST GONNA REUPHOLSTER IT.

NO PROBLEM, RIGHT?

AND AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THAT GORGEOUS HOT PINK VELVET CHAIR THAT WE PICKED OUT, WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE LEFTOVER FABRIC.

THIS IS THE STRIPE THAT'S ON THE BACK OF THE CHAIR.

ALL WE DID WAS CUT THAT RIGHT IN HALF FOR US.

BUT BECAUSE IT'S A STRIPED DESIGN, YOU WANT TO FIRST AND FOREMOST MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET THIS LAID OUT RIGHT.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IT'S LARGER, OBVIOUSLY, THAN OUR SEAT CUSHION, 'CAUSE WE'RE JUST GONNA COVER THE EXISTING LINEN THAT'S ON THERE.

THERE'S NO NEED TO REMOVE IT.

SO LINE UP YOUR STRIPES.

THAT'S THE BIG THING THAT'S GONNA MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL.

YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'VE GOT THOSE LINED UP RIGHT.

AND WE'RE JUST GOING TO PULL THIS DOWN IN THE CENTER.

WE'RE GONNA START RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE... AND WORK OUR WAY OUT AND THEN WORK OUR WAY TO THE BACK AND THEN AROUND THE SIDES.

SO WE'LL JUST GO A COUPLE OF INCHES, PUT ANOTHER STAPLE.

NOW, HERE WHEN WE GET TO THE CORNER, THIS IS WHERE IT TENDS TO GET TRICKY.

TO ATTACH OUR CUSHION BACK TO OUR STOOL, WE'RE GONNA SCREW IT INTO PLACE.

SO WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO SNUG THIS NICE AND TIGHT.

YOU'RE JUST GONNA START FOLDING IT OVER.

THAT'S GONNA WORK FOR US.

NOW, WITH A THICK FABRIC LIKE THIS, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH EXTRA-LONG STAPLES.

NOW WE'RE GONNA WORK OUR WAY AROUND TO THE BACK.

MAKE SURE MY STRIPES ARE STILL LINED UP.

AND IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA JUST TO LIFT YOUR CUSHION UP.

MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS SMOOTHED OUT UNDERNEATH, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN FLIPPING THIS OVER AND FINDING A SURPRISE, LIKE YOUR FABRIC NOT MATCHING UP OR THERE BEING A WRINKLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

ONCE AGAIN, START IN THE MIDDLE AND WORK OUR WAY OUT.

NOW, LIKE I SAID, ONCE WE GET THIS STAPLED ON, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS FLIP IT OVER AND ATTACH IT TO OUR STOOL.

AN INSTANT POP OF COLOR AND A WHOLE NEW LOOK.

>> COMING UP NEXT, A CLASSIC FYH DECORATING TIP.

STORING YOUR CRAFTS AND SUPPLIES CAN SOMETIMES BE QUITE THE CHALLENGE.

NOW, SOME OF MY FRIENDS LIKE TO SAVE THEIR OLD JARS LIKE THIS TO STORE THEIR PENCILS IN.

AND THIS ANTIQUE PEANUT JAR, IT'S JUST PERFECT FOR ALL THE MARKERS.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES ARE THESE LITTLE BUCKETS.

THEY'RE COVERED WITH FABRIC, SO THEY'RE VERY DECORATIVE, AND YOU CAN USE THEM ANYWHERE IN YOUR HOUSE.

AND THEY REALLY HOLD AN ABUNDANCE OF CRAFTING SUPPLIES.

BUT MY ALL-TIME PERSONAL FAVORITE IS TO LOOK TO SOME OF MY COLLECTIBLES FOR STORAGE IDEAS.

FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE A LOOK AT THESE LITTLE ANTIQUE FROGS THAT WE HAVE HERE.

NOW, I'VE BEEN COLLECTING THESE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

AND THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT FROGS ARE... WELL, THEY'RE NOT THE THINGS THAT JUMP IN OUR POND.

FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARRANGE FLOWERS, THE LITTLE FROGS GO DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF A VASE.

THE FLOWER STEMS STICK INTO THAT, AND IT HOLDS THEM NICE AND UPRIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA USE THEM, THOUGH, TODAY TO STORE OUR MARKERS AND OUR PENS IN.

NOW, THIS LITTLE GLASS FROG-- AND THEY COME IN WIRE AND BRASS, ALL DIFFERENT COLORS.

AND YOU CAN PICK THEM UP FOR ABOUT $5 AT AN ANTIQUE SHOP.

AND IT MAKES THE PERFECT PLACE TO HOLD THOSE PENCILS.

NOW, HOW ABOUT FOR MARKERS?

WELL, THIS LITTLE GREEN FROG IS A PERFECT ACCENT.

AND LOOK HOW IT JUST KEEP THEM RIGHT THERE HANDY FOR YOU.

YOU CAN TELL IF YOU NEED A BLUE ONE, A PINK ONE.

THEY'RE RIGHT ON HAND.

IF YOU DO ANY PAINTING, YOU'RE GONNA FIND THESE LITTLE WIRE FROGS ARE PERFECT TO HOLD A WET PAINTBRUSH UPRIGHT AND TO STORE THEM THAT WAY SO THEY'LL BE READY ANYTIME YOU WANT TO USE THEM.

NOW, THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE OLDEST FROGS THAT I HAVE OUT HERE.

THIS IS AN ANTIQUE ENGLISH FROG, AND IT HAS A GRID PATTERN TO IT.

I LIKE TO USE IT TO STORE MY WOOD CHISELS IN.

THESE HAVE REALLY SHARP POINTS ON THEM, AND I'M ALWAYS AFRAID THAT MY GRANDKIDS MIGHT GRAB THEM BY MISTAKE, SO BY USING THIS FROG, I CAN PUT THE BLADE DOWN INSIDE.

ON THE BACK END OF IT, I LABEL IT WITH THE SHAPE OF THE BLADE.

THEN I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT IS WHEN I NEED TO USE IT.

SO THIS MAKES A GREAT WAY TO SHORE OBJECTS THAT ARE SHARP.

EVEN, LIKE, AN X-ACTO OR A CRAFT KNIFE WOULD WORK OUT WELL IN THIS.

SO THE NEXT TIME THAT YOU'RE SITTING AROUND AND YOU'RE SAYING, "BOY, I WISH I HAD A WAY "THAT WOULD BE BOTH DECORATIVE AND HANDY TO STORE MY DIFFERENT CRAFTING SUPPLIES IN," TAKE A LOOK IN YOUR ANTIQUE COLLECTIBLES.

YOU'RE GOING TO FIND LOTS OF UNUSUAL CONTAINERS THAT CAN REALLY MAKE STORING YOUR CRAFT SUPPLIES MUCH EASIER AND A LOT OF FUN WE STARTED WITH A WIDE-OPEN SPACE FILLED WITH PLENTY OF LIGHT.

CREATING GREAT SPACES IS EASY WHEN YOU HAVE WINDOWS LIKE THESE TO WORK WITH.

WE DECIDED WE WOULD LEAVE THE CARPET AND THE WALLS WHITE SO WHEN WE ADDED COLOR, THE ENTIRE ROOM WOULD JUST POP.

THE WINDOW TREATMENT TURNED OUT JUST LIKE WE HAD IMAGINED IT.

SKILLFUL TAILORING DETAILS DRESS UP THE DRAPERIES WITHOUT MAKING THEM LOOK TOO FORMAL.

THAT SAME ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS PRESENT IN ALL OF THE BATTING AND IS THE KEY TO TYING TOGETHER ALL THREE OF THE COLORFUL FABRIC PRINTS THAT WE SELECTED.

WE PLACED A PAIR OF WHIMSY IRON TABLES AND WHITE POTTERY LAMPS ON EACH SIDE OF THE BED.

AN ORANGE-PAINTED STORAGE CHEST PROVIDES PLENTY OF STORAGE SPACE FOR CLOTHING AND A MIRRORED JEWELRY BOX.

WE ACCESSORIZE THE SEWING AREA WITH COLORFUL BASKETS, BOXES, AND SUPPLIES.

THE ARTWORK SHOULD INSPIRE ANY FUTURE FASHION DESIGNER.

WE CONTINUED THE PINK AND ORANGE COLOR SCHEME BY ADDING A UNIQUELY INSPIRED FRENCH CHAIR WITH CUT-VELVET ROSE FABRIC.

THE BOYS ROOM IS CONNECTED TO THE SPACE BY A JACK-AND-JILL BATHROOM.

WE USED A CHARCOAL GRAY AND SILVER PALETTE TO TIE THE TWO SPACES TOGETHER.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ANOTHER GREAT ROOM READY FOR THE SHOW HOUSE TOUR.

>> MOM, THAT ROOM IS ELECTRIFYING WITH CREATIVITY AND COLOR.

>> I KNOW, I JUST WANT TO SIT DOWN AT THAT SEWING MACHINE AND START CREATING.

>> OKAY, WELL, NOT SO SOON, BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE NINE MORE DAYS UNTIL THIS SHOW HOUSE OPENS FOR TOURS.

SO YOU BETTER SET YOUR CREATIVITY IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, AS IN ANOTHER ROOM.

>> I KNOW EXACTLY THE ROOM FOR US TO TARGET TOO.

THAT WOULD BE THIS ROOM, THE MEDIA ROOM.

WE HAVE GOT SOME IDEAS IN HERE THAT'LL HAVE YOU WHISTLING A NEW TUNE.

>> SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON FYH.
