Designing for the Sexes

Season 2 Episode 9: A New Great Room

Gary and Beth Bardovi are at a design stand still despite their abundance of ideas. They are in the process of building their dream house, a 3,000-square-foot rustic hideaway and cannot agree on how to decorate their great room. The areas causing tension are the fireplace, the tile floor coloring and the wall coloring. Michael Payne takes them to Import Tile Center to look for slate flooring then to the paint store to look for wall paint. Gary is interested in a mustard color but Beth wants something much lighter, perhaps white. Payne suggests a light shade of yellow. During Payne's final visit, we see that what used to look like a construction site is now warm and inviting. The fireplace now adds strength to the room with its stone encasement. The furniture fabrics bring warmth to the room, which Beth wanted and the light yellow wall coloring integrates both Beth and Gary's desires. The great room is truly that: a great room!
