00:00:03.060 me literally me taking credit everyone's like oh my god he's so stylish and cute i'm like yeah

00:00:09.140 you're welcome literally me

00:00:11.680 hey everyone and welcome back to another episode of the comment section show starring me your fave

00:00:22.740 everybody knows me on to the amazing guest today we have the one the only the iconic the legendary

00:00:28.280 bobby burke hello everybody i'm so excited to have you thanks for having me it's an honor i'm a big

00:00:36.140 fan same same thing not of me but of you oh okay i was talking about me every since you put that

00:00:42.440 camera in my bathroom i was like we're meant to be that's unrelated to this bobby that is

00:00:47.420 unrelated to this okay what we talk about offline is no one's business anyways i am such a huge fan

00:00:53.520 of you i'm so uh honored to have you on the show how have you been i've been good i've been hot

00:00:58.060 like most of the world are you a sweaty girl i'm always a sweaty girl i can be 20 below zero and

00:01:03.560 i'll be sweating walking down the street with my iced coffee oh my gosh you and me both nobody sweats

00:01:08.200 how come nobody sweats but us in hollywood oh that's a lot of talks just oh yeah okay that's

00:01:14.280 the secret you know that can get rid of sweating yeah i do know that but then also like it'll make

00:01:17.960 you droopy sometimes if you do too much what well i'm also so curious if it's like placebo or if

00:01:24.420 it's for realsies because sometimes i hear people get it but then they say it comes back it does because

00:01:28.720 botox wears off so you have to keep getting yeah yeah my husband's a doctor and does it for people

00:01:32.360 oh yeah so it literally paralyzes your sweat glands and you haven't gotten it that seems like he

00:01:37.660 doesn't love you very much because i just try to not go to places that are hot i feel it yeah but

00:01:42.920 you're just like it's so funny you say that because like i just went to the streamies this past

00:01:47.100 weekend and it's like obviously a thousand degrees everywhere especially in la recently yeah but the

00:01:53.840 carpet was inside and i was like period i'm not gonna sweat for once in my life i won't be sweating

00:01:58.320 on a carpet love that for me and then i go into like the room and it's like 90 degrees like because

00:02:03.540 it's enclosed there's no fans there's no wind and there's thousands of lights and hundreds of people

00:02:09.320 and so i was like nightmare one of my favorite thing about hollywood's is the carpets because

00:02:13.900 the world just sees everybody on the carpet all glamorous and beautiful and all decked up

00:02:17.960 but they don't see like at the emmys emmys always seem to fall on the hottest weekend in la and the

00:02:23.500 red carpet's outside always what you don't see is if the cameras were to pan over you'd see a huge line

00:02:28.880 of every celebrity in the world dripping wet assistance with fans like dabbing their faces

00:02:33.720 terrified and then they go on the carpet and the moment they get off like layers start coming off and 0.88

00:02:39.160 it's just disgusting and so unglamorous i'm like an internet dickhead so i don't have that luxury of

00:02:45.080 someone fanning me um it's just kind of me it's just me like with my publicist my post is going 0.91

00:02:50.420 like i'll get you a napkin don't worry i'll get you a napkin it's all right we're trying you know

00:02:54.800 when you start sweating and then you realize you're sweating so you start panicking yeah and

00:02:57.880 you start sweating yes and you're like oh my god is it coming through my nine layers of clothes

00:03:02.260 literally and i was like in a sheer dress like it was like completely see-through see i find that

00:03:07.520 this might be one thing that women do have it easier at like on carpets you can wear dresses 1.00

00:03:12.580 that's true because there's ventilation you're wearing like pants i guess i mean i i could wear

00:03:16.600 a dress too that's true jonathan's always like i'm wearing a dress it's cooler he's like i'm actually 0.87

00:03:21.580 kind of chilly yeah i'm like you're right i should not have worn this three-piece suit stupid me my bad

00:03:27.160 jonathan's like oh it's cold i think the only time i didn't sweat on carpet was i uh covered the oscars

00:03:34.720 this year but that's because it was cold outside yeah and everyone was like oh it's freezing and i

00:03:39.160 was like it feels good to me you know this is one thing that might come out good from the strike

00:03:43.580 other than you know fair practices and business yeah but um the emmys will be in january this year

00:03:48.480 there you go burr so cold burr it's 60 cold no jacket completely nude i'm gonna go sleeveless just

00:03:56.160 like muscle tea paste three pasties three pasties there you go lady all three the same size

00:04:03.520 there you go huge huge in fact small it's all right yeah

00:04:08.880 anyway so my book yeah so your book speaking of pasties uh you are coming out with a book

00:04:19.620 which you can see right here right here and it's called right at home love that tell us about your

00:04:25.040 book so it's all about the intersection of mental health and design you know for years i've wanted

00:04:30.640 to do a design book i've been approached to do a few different ones but design books i love them all

00:04:36.680 they're all great everything has its place everyone's book is wonderful but for me i didn't want to just do

00:04:41.240 like this pretty coffee table book of these great homes that are perfectly edited and staged and gorgeous

00:04:45.160 because sometimes like they can actually make you feel bad about your own space like you're looking at

00:04:49.980 these beautiful spaces that you'll never be able to achieve because most of those spaces are like

00:04:54.740 perfectly styled for that shoe they don't look like that really yeah um and it makes people just

00:04:59.240 kind of feel bad about their space yeah i wanted to write a book that doesn't just teach you how to

00:05:04.440 set your space up it teaches you how to figure out what makes you tick and the things that you need to

00:05:08.480 put in your home based on what makes you happy i love that because to me design is about what makes

00:05:12.700 you happy yeah not about what a magazine tells you your home should look like yeah absolutely even

00:05:17.320 what i tell your home excuse me even though you are at celsius right before

00:05:21.160 even what i tell you what your home should look like even though you are an expert i would say

00:05:26.440 you are an expert at interior design i absolutely love your your style thank you i think that's so

00:05:31.260 great and i think too like that is something that people miss a lot with like the mental health

00:05:35.860 aspect of your space and how it like can play into your productivity your overall wellness and

00:05:41.600 happiness that's a really good point especially small things like for me i just moved recently into

00:05:46.560 like a new home and i didn't realize like how little natural lighting my other home got because

00:05:52.320 there were a lot of windows in my other home but like i was like the one story and there's a bunch

00:05:56.700 of two stories around me so it's blocking a lot of the light and so when i move into my new home there's

00:06:01.200 it's so bright like everywhere every morning you feel nice yeah i know i like feel i'm like why am i

00:06:05.680 like so much happier yeah wake up like snow white every morning exactly it's just my dog but i think

00:06:12.940 the natural lighting plays a huge factor plus like i love to decorate and stuff but it's hard like

00:06:17.960 especially when you're growing up and you move into new spaces you're kind of like learning

00:06:21.500 your new style and like what you like what you don't like like home decor is like a lot more

00:06:27.480 complicated than it seems well one of the grab this here one of the first things we talk about

00:06:33.200 is where to go um it's let the thing is it says let's normalize not asking people what their

00:06:44.580 aesthetic is yeah because like what i learned from the show that i'm on that i can't talk about right

00:06:50.820 now yep um you know i would ask people oh what's your design aesthetic and like i remember our very

00:06:55.400 first episode tom was like oh uh french industrial and i'm like you're like looking around i'm like

00:07:02.040 really i'm like do you know what french industrial is and he's like no i just heard it once i'm like

00:07:07.520 all right that's what i thought so i started learning to ask people what their favorite things

00:07:13.500 are in life you know what's your favorite show like there was another hero it's like what's your

00:07:18.160 favorite show and he's like mad men and i'm like oh cool mid-century yeah i'm like where's your dream

00:07:22.460 vacation he's like cuba i'm like also stuck in the 50s like mid-century you know so i i did all mid-century

00:07:28.500 furniture and i did this cool mural of a picture of havana and i did like uh banana leaf wallpaper in

00:07:33.520 the bathroom and he walked in he was like oh my god every single thing in here just like brightens

00:07:38.020 me up and makes me happy and like it feels like my home even though this i'm walking into this for

00:07:41.660 the first time he's like how did you get inside my head we didn't even talk about design like i talked

00:07:46.540 about the things that make you happy and those are the things you should put in your home because

00:07:51.080 your home is like your phone charger you know if you don't get your phone on that charger at night

00:07:54.940 and it doesn't get fully charged it's gonna die the next day it's not gonna make it through

00:07:58.500 the same with you your home should be fully recharging you and doing that by things that

00:08:03.440 make you happy that when you walk in you smile you know not you walk in and especially like

00:08:08.840 dysfunctional spaces if your home is adding stress it's not getting you fully charged

00:08:13.080 yeah i saw something too i think my mom told me this a while ago because obviously like i work

00:08:17.620 from home primarily so like when i was living in my old house i like worked a lot in my room like i

00:08:22.920 always had like my laptop in my room i always worked on my bed like and my mom told me like

00:08:27.740 it was really hard for me to like sleep and like yeah when especially when i'm stressed and my mom

00:08:32.420 was like well you can't work in your bedroom because like you're supposed to work in a different room

00:08:36.320 it like it separates it mentally so you know like this is for sleep this is for work i think the

00:08:41.880 pandemic forcing so many people to work from home kind of did a number on us because on one hand we're

00:08:46.660 like oh yay we get to work from home this is great such better quality of life yeah yes if you

00:08:53.620 know how to separate it but it got to actually where we were just always working yeah because

00:08:58.820 there was not that separation of space or just like okay i'm just working where when you go to

00:09:02.980 the office like hopefully yeah when you leave the office you're done yeah that's you time yeah there

00:09:09.700 was that lack of separation now that i think if we are going to continue to work from home which is great

00:09:14.160 if not but you need to figure out how to define that space like workspace versus relaxation yeah

00:09:20.360 even if it's just you know a tray that you keep your laptop on that you slide that tray under the

00:09:27.080 bed oh yeah to where that that little moment that was your work you don't see it anymore it's gone

00:09:32.020 and so it kind of prevents you from being like oh it's gonna work a little more yeah let me check

00:09:36.220 that email yeah no no this is home time like distinction yeah i love that so how long have you been

00:09:42.440 in like the world of interior design like like two and a half years when did you like really i was

00:09:47.720 gonna say no way but um in the world of design so before i had a design firm i owned my own furniture

00:09:56.340 stores around the u.s oh cool so i wasn't designing but i was curating you know i was yeah choosing all

00:10:02.520 the things that were sold in my stores i'd help customers design their houses um so since about

00:10:07.940 20 years okay and you're 25 so like yes he believed that since i was five yeah i have been

00:10:16.760 helping america decorate their homes working and what were you doing nothing nothing exactly yeah

00:10:22.400 you were just on the playground oh my god and he was building homes right exactly bob the builder

00:10:27.140 so when did you like kind of fall in love with like curating space or like still waiting design

00:10:34.600 yeah no i'm kidding um i was about five or six no seriously literally literally i just guessed

00:10:42.320 you're right you're right um and this is the story i talk about in the book yeah um my mom had

00:10:48.080 decorated my room with like all red like red curtains red bedspread red rug red pillows and

00:10:53.580 it didn't feel good to me like you're like this is yeah i mean i couldn't articulate that this color

00:11:00.500 gave me anxiety but i was just like this is not for me yeah this is not my journey yeah um so i saved

00:11:07.160 up all my little birthday checks i had gotten for my aunt and uncles and i got i went out and i bought

00:11:11.000 blue bedspread and blue curtains and blue pillows because i understood that blue just it made me feel

00:11:17.420 better like i liked it made me feel more relaxed and again i couldn't articulate these words when i was

00:11:21.720 a little five-year-old farm boy but i just i understood the power of color um and lighting

00:11:29.180 you know at five years old yeah yeah i again i couldn't articulate why i just i knew what i knew

00:11:35.720 the feeling yeah you know yeah you just knew the vibes were off yeah yeah the vibe girl mom the vibes

00:11:41.520 are off in here i have to fix it so at a young age like i i started thinking about those things

00:11:47.020 that's really cool yeah and then probably like around 14 or 15 i went walked into target and you

00:11:53.260 know how they do those amazing collaborations with designers yeah yeah this was their very first

00:11:57.140 collaboration they ever did and it was with the architect named michael graves okay and i don't

00:12:01.380 know if you've like this tea kettle and this toaster and these spatulas like very like modernist

00:12:07.540 designs okay and i remember walking in and seeing like a spoon from the collection yeah and before like

00:12:13.340 spoons were just very utilitarian you know you use it just to shovel food in your mouth

00:12:16.800 um but i looked at the spoon and it made me smile and i was like the design of this is cool like i i

00:12:25.640 want the spoon because i want to like have something in my kitchen that i also like love to look at not

00:12:30.940 just something that's functional and it was that moment that i really started to realize that there

00:12:35.860 were people out there that were not only building things to make the world function better but building

00:12:41.300 things to make you happy yeah you know and that kind of i think set me on the track of thinking

00:12:46.540 about design and what i wanted to do okay so you said 14 or 15 is like basically that's when you

00:12:52.760 like kind of made the the choice you were like i think this is like where i want to go i wouldn't

00:12:57.440 say i made a choice then because i mean i left home at 15 um there was no like choice of career

00:13:03.820 yeah it was just like i need to eat and pay rent um but it was something that was at that time where i

00:13:09.340 started thinking like design is something that i love oh and it wasn't until years later i fell into

00:13:15.540 it i mean i think it's so interesting because i'm like learning so much while you're talking i'm like

00:13:19.180 oh that's so true i'm like guys someone get him a book or something you should write a book

00:13:24.560 i think too i only recently have i been like getting into like interior design but probably because i have

00:13:30.680 like a bigger home so i have to like you know decorate it and so and it's expensive furniture is

00:13:36.600 expensive and decor is expensive but it's really nice when you like head to goodwill head to the

00:13:41.560 flea markets you know a lot of times people are like oh i don't want to get you stuff why you stuff

00:13:44.840 is great yeah you know use decor is great because with decor like people get bored with decor yeah so

00:13:50.540 they they donate it you can get some of the most amazing things for so cheap and it's less stuff

00:13:56.780 that's going to end up in a landfill yeah like offer up or a facebook marketplace or great places to

00:14:01.420 source even like my friend caleb when he was on the show he was saying like he sets his zip code to

00:14:07.640 like expensive neighborhoods and then goes there and buys from also i mean i used to what i was

00:14:12.580 really hard up for stuff i would go to the expensive neighborhoods on trash day i would look online and

00:14:17.180 i would figure out what day is trash day and you would find the best furniture on no literally i'm all

00:14:21.280 about reusing reduce reuse recycle you know what i mean especially when you're young too and you don't

00:14:25.900 have that much money but you want to like customize your own space and like decorate it to how you like it

00:14:31.320 great resources for that years ago my friends and i used to do decor swap parties it was an idea i

00:14:37.960 came up with but again you get bored with stuff in your house and instead of going out and buying new

00:14:42.500 because i definitely didn't have the money to back then my friends and i would you had to bring two

00:14:46.100 items with you and something that you were bored with in your house and we'd all bring the items and

00:14:50.400 we'd like swap like oh i like that picture that you brought i'm gonna get that and we'd be able to

00:14:54.740 judge up our place without spending a dime and we'd be drunk at the end of it that's so cute decor swap

00:15:00.960 party that's so cute and so gay yeah that's very gay so gay i love that i'm all about that that's 0.98

00:15:09.140 so fucking that's a genius idea actually because people don't realize how much like even especially 0.99

00:15:13.520 when you move you realize like how much shit you like hold on to yeah you're like oh my god i don't 0.99

00:15:18.680 even i didn't even remember i had this even when you swap out furniture and stuff you're like now i 0.96

00:15:23.220 have these like tables and chairs it was always sad for the people though that went back with the 0.94

00:15:26.580 exact things that they brought they're like your things are really fucking ugly love you forever 0.97

00:15:30.720 though maybe maybe step your game up next time bring better things bring the things you actually 0.99

00:15:37.060 want get better taste next time how about that they get kicked off the fucking island they don't get 0.99

00:15:42.960 invited to like you haven't done a decor swap party in a while i'm like yeah no i haven't in months 0.99

00:15:49.100 oh that's so crazy that's so funny when i first moved in with my uh boyfriend like when i moved

00:15:57.440 into his room he had like just one big bed like and then one lamp and that's it my husband just had

00:16:03.980 a mattress on the floor no furniture no furniture nothing it didn't have a headboard it just was

00:16:07.940 like on like one of those risers oh see that was far more than my husband had it was literally just a

00:16:12.260 mattress on the floor i don't even and it was in the corner like pushed into the corner and so when i

00:16:16.940 moved in i was like i really want to first of all hate it burn it let's start over but i want to like

00:16:22.080 put the bed in the middle and he was like why and i go because i'm in my 20s and i don't want to roll

00:16:27.580 off a bed when in the morning because that's my side of the bed is the one where i have to scoot to

00:16:31.580 the end and get off to crawl over and yeah at night no like if you're in a relationship you're an 0.99

00:16:37.080 asshole if you shove your bed up against the wall that's what i'm saying unless like space wise it's 0.99

00:16:40.920 absolutely necessary yeah but i was like i'm not a teenage boy so i want you to put it in the middle so i 0.97

00:16:46.120 can also get off the bed like a yeah like an adult yeah yeah and i was he's i told him i wanted to get

00:16:51.520 end tables and like a dresser and he was like what are end tables for and i'm like to put your things

00:16:57.800 on and he was like like what the fun things yeah he was like like what and i'm like like your phone

00:17:04.020 where do you put it when you charge it and he was like on the ground and i was like well see that

00:17:07.680 stops today he sounds like a winner he is a winner you're like i fixed him now don't worry yeah don't

00:17:12.800 worry same with my god i i workshopped it out it's out now the key to it is is to find them

00:17:18.080 really rough like that and you can shine them into what you want them to there you go yeah i'm all

00:17:22.000 my husband thinks he has style and opinions now but they were all just mine me literally me taking

00:17:28.380 credit everyone's like oh my god he's so stylish and cute i'm like yeah you're welcome literally me

00:17:33.480 20 years it took me like thank you so much i love you baby yeah i take that it's such a huge call

00:17:39.200 my baby so much that's what well the great thing too is when they're like open to it like they're

00:17:43.880 super open to like yeah i'm cool with that let's try it it's funny i think within the first six

00:17:48.700 months to a year i strategically got rid of every article of clothing my husband owned before he met me

00:17:53.880 just slowing they were just all so bad like what like oversized like cargo pants and oversized flannels

00:18:00.460 and like horrible just like oh i just don't know what happened to that i don't know how that fell

00:18:07.020 out the window i haven't seen it i mean i would replace it with cute things yeah yeah i kind of did

00:18:13.120 that too a little bit i was like at some point i was like how do we feel about throwing those in the

00:18:17.880 garbage see you were nicer than me i would just be like how do you feel about the fact that i threw

00:18:25.140 those in the garbage i know there was one article of clothing i can't remember what it was but i was

00:18:31.300 so like okay let's go ahead and throw this in the trash and then i eventually was like please don't

00:18:36.200 wear those please don't wear those please don't wear those i love you so much please don't wear

00:18:39.320 those there's a couple things that he's bought on his own well he's a big fan of like scissors like

00:18:44.380 he's like oh i'll just cut them and i'm like or or or we don't do that like how about that like or

00:18:51.560 we do something else because you're not a seamstress i'm not kidding like three days ago

00:18:55.960 we were going to the streamies we were buying an outfit he's like he has like a new like style he

00:19:01.060 wants to try which we love and so he like gets he buys these nice pants he gets them tailored i'm

00:19:06.560 like oh perfect and then he gets this shirt and he's like i really like this shirt but i really hate

00:19:10.600 the sleeves i'm like okay he's like it's fine i'll just cut them off huh huh no no in fact actually

00:19:25.100 yeah the red carpet was like were we talking about the sweatiness on air yeah a few years ago on a

00:19:29.140 carpet i did wear a sleeveless white button-down shirt i had the designer cut the sleeves off because

00:19:53.300 as as are most people because if you just do this they cut i wouldn't say it's a skill necessarily

00:20:03.140 that um that like crochet and i'm like babe you think you can cut that and it's gonna look nice

00:20:07.700 it'll be all woven it'll be like unraveled by the end of the night yep yep it went from sleeveless to

00:27:02.600 just a guy he goes over to the house of a girl he likes and he gets turned off because she has like

00:27:07.400 things like artificial like ivy leaves like led lights on the wall of her bedroom as decor oh 0.60

00:27:19.620 be careful of girls like that which like that part fuck you but also yeah i feel like that's very 1.00

00:27:25.800 young like i feel like that's very gen z the leaves and the led lights i feel like that's their their 0.99

00:27:31.420 thing right now i i don't know if i've ever been in a gen zers bedroom so i don't know i would hope not

00:28:16.820 actually wait no i think 25 is the cutoff yeah yeah and i'm gonna be 28 80 is the cutoff for

00:28:23.420 millennial some calendars say 81 but i still make it you're like regardless of who you ask i might be

00:28:31.260 considered a geriatric millennial but i am still a millennial i believe you hey i believe you i'll

00:28:39.480 take your word for it but i also google you just to fact check i am a journalist okay so yeah i mean

00:28:46.800 i feel like because on tiktok i saw like the ivy leaf thing and the led lights they're very like young

00:28:51.500 i'm not a big fan of decorating with led lights i don't like lights that change color i feel you

00:28:56.700 not my thing not my thing i think if you're a teenager it's fine i think if you're older than

00:29:03.240 that it's not no no you don't think no the only place multicolor lights belong is a christmas tree

00:29:12.840 and even that i don't love me too but i'll be i'll accept it that's so funny i don't like colorful

00:29:18.380 lights on a tree either no yeah i like gold or white and like multicolor lights in a pool no

00:29:22.820 hey no even in a pool no he said no like i have an airbnb and sometimes i'll see from the camera

00:29:31.000 somebody switched it to the multi-light i'm like no i'll switch it remotely i'm like you are ruining

00:29:36.040 you are ruining the mood i have created in this space absolutely not like yeah no you're right

00:29:41.040 blue lighting does not go with this you're right in the guest book do not change like we'd love to 0.96

00:29:45.640 welcome judy back if she doesn't change our pool light color again fucking judy you respond to their 1.00

00:29:51.900 review and say i would give five stars but yeah but you use multicolor lights and damn even in the 0.98

00:29:58.160 pool what don't you like about it it's just like it just throws off vibes yeah i think like everything

00:30:03.540 is thoughtfully designed the way it should be and then when you throw in like strobing blue light

00:30:10.100 that's not desert vibes that's not desert getaway that's not desert that's not giving getaway at all

00:30:16.260 that's crazy there was something i i forget what it was i think oh something i hate like if i'm

00:30:23.200 thinking decor like i i really don't like like leather couches but it depends on the kind of

00:30:29.280 leather and like how it's shaped you don't like the leather couches because of the way they feel

00:30:33.320 both yeah like in the summer they're sticky yeah winter they're cold yeah i'm not a huge fan of that

00:30:40.320 and i just feel like i'm peeling my skin off of it you know you end up like maybe putting a throw on

00:30:45.060 it then so you don't stick to it but then you just slide off of it yeah i'm not i'm not a fan either

00:30:49.980 yeah i don't leather armchairs it's like an accent yeah but like a leather sofa yeah i agree yeah i think

00:30:57.640 and also those um couches that are like it's like a big l but they're all it's kind of tall and they're

00:31:04.300 like recliners oh yeah but it's like just the end recliner yeah yeah you don't like recliners either

00:31:10.540 it depends on them because some of them they they're cute now i feel like some of them now yes

00:31:16.740 but if it's a sofa i think they're called convertible sofas with it yeah so like a futon

00:31:22.260 no with the recliners and everything i don't know why okay um but yeah if your sofa and i'm sorry out

00:31:28.460 there if you do i know sometimes people just want comfy places and that's fine if that's who you are

00:31:32.680 um but i am not down with recliners built into the sofa i feel you yeah i don't like the the look

00:31:39.940 i think they're just too tall so i feel like i'm sitting up like too upright well that's why it

00:31:44.460 reclines so you can not sit up right you've ruined your whole theory i feel like when i'm in a recliner

00:31:54.940 i'm just sitting too upright well we're fine hey you got me back for that age comma you got me back

00:32:02.740 one one yeah you got me there that is true but i also think too i want to be able to like

00:32:10.480 just a little bit like move it back just a tiny because what if you don't want to lay all the way

00:32:14.560 down you know i'm saying most like you can adjust where you lay back but i i'm not all of a sudden

00:32:22.660 huh i mean i did grow up in a household of recliners i did my my parents bought some at one

00:32:29.020 point too but they all broke and i think it's just because like you open them too hard and close them

00:32:33.520 too hard knock that plant off i don't like how you have to close them there's just no dignity in it

00:32:39.040 you know you're like laying down and you sit up and then you're like you like have to like do it all in

00:32:43.100 one motion and then your calves back in the day yeah now they're just like yeah see i didn't have

00:32:47.700 those i had the ones you had to like you had to like really momentum like swing up you know what

00:32:52.300 i'm saying there's just no dignity in it it's just embarrassing when you're like trying to close

00:32:55.580 and talk at the same thing you're like yeah you know no dignity in that i wouldn't agree with that

00:32:59.940 at all but i think this kind of aesthetic this like led light and the way you said that was correct

00:33:08.640 well but you are a millennial so yeah you use that word correctly i'm sure as are you

00:33:12.800 as are you that is true

00:33:15.020 okay so the comments on this video this one says leaves on the wall means you gotta leave her

00:33:23.720 okay huh it's not very punny is it no he tried he tried he tried and he failed

00:39:07.980 colors are so ugly hate that hate that so much and so when i got approved for the house i was like 0.88

00:39:13.020 painting it immediately paint immediately painting your rooms different colors and like just doing

00:39:17.880 one accent wall especially like one accent wall very dark color when everything else is a light color

00:39:23.440 it makes your space feel smaller yeah absolutely it up visually all you're seeing is these little

00:39:28.100 slices instead of one big yeah absolutely so like accent walls are fine if it's a lighter color

00:39:34.280 yeah because it's not so harsh and drastic but yeah i'm not a fan and even like the owner like the

00:39:40.220 previous owner he had like met my boyfriend and i and he was talking to us and he was like

00:39:45.920 yeah like i built this house like from scratch and blah blah we were like oh cool and he was like

00:39:52.000 yeah i was an architect i'm an architect and i'm like by trade or like hobby you're like a

00:39:57.280 successful one just for like fun or and i i like genuinely i don't know if he like understands color

00:40:04.520 schemes or if he was just like throwing everything at the wall and seeing what what stuff you know

00:40:08.140 what some architects are architectures some architectures some architects understand like

00:40:13.500 structure and lines but not design yeah like not decor i've worked with some architects that

00:40:19.580 will like do a stab at what the interiors will look like when they render a space they've

00:40:23.980 designed yeah and i'm just like how are you in the design business like wow hate that so much but

00:40:30.740 the structure is really cool but you leave the design to us don't ruin your cool space by putting

00:40:36.660 that stuff in there well he told us he like could not sell it like he said like nobody would buy it

00:40:41.980 and i was like well yeah because it was fugly but it's okay because i fixed it like i saw the vision

00:40:47.940 i saw the vision once i i just painted all of it white like a really nice bright white uh and the

00:40:54.040 painter i hired was really great too because he was like oh like in windows where light comes in you

00:40:58.200 want like a shinier white like you wanted to have something on it that like reflects light and then

00:41:03.340 or maybe it's the opposite forget but like he was like in darker rooms you want ones that don't reflect

00:41:08.440 as much or something like that it was like there's like a whole science to it i forget so they did

00:41:13.920 multiple walls in different sheen no it's all yeah it's all white but it's just like certain parts

00:41:18.580 of the wall like some in eggshells some in mats it would yeah it was like a mat or a not mat kind

00:41:23.160 of thing he'd like used it interesting i've never yeah i've never heard that before can't tell the

00:41:27.800 difference if i'm being honest when he was telling me he could have been speaking mandarin and i

00:41:30.740 wouldn't have known like i was like he's like i only charge you 20 extra and you're like great i can't

00:41:34.820 tell the difference i was literally like honestly like sounds good sounds great to me and then when he 0.96

00:41:39.560 did it it looks great it looks wonderful and he he did a lot of extra shit too because he was like 0.80

00:41:44.780 he was like in shock of what the house looked like too and i was like he's like i'm gonna take all this 0.91

00:41:48.900 down i'm gonna repaint this like don't worry about it but i just like hate what it looks like i was

00:41:52.680 like same i'm with you honestly i was like love that for us just let me know when it's done

00:41:58.080 so i think paint plays a huge factor too absolutely and i love a nice a white but not too

00:42:05.760 white like not like asylum white uh people are always asking you know what's the quickest and

00:42:10.380 easiest and cheapest way i can transfer my space and i'm like it's it's paint yeah that's true and

00:42:15.500 renter friendly too do you have like a lot of questions about renter friendly design like

00:42:20.980 small spaces renter friendly and like there's articles on my site bobbyberg.com like the perfect

00:42:25.140 white like i share with you my favorite white paint colors because whites can be hard people are 1.00

00:42:30.040 like oh white's basic it's not hard actually no some whites have like pink undertones some have

00:42:33.940 like greens i'm at blue and like yeah it's really depending on how the light hits it is depending

00:42:38.340 on what color it's going to look like so yeah whites actually are one of the harder colors to

00:42:41.860 choose that's true even the painter i hired he was like did you buy multiple whites yet and i was like

00:42:46.620 no and he's like buy at least four or five and paint the wall and then let it dry and then decide

00:42:52.740 which one you want yep and make sure you see it in the daytime and it and yeah he told us the same

00:42:56.980 thing he was like every time i i tell them to do that like if someone hires me and wants to do white

00:43:01.180 they're like oh i don't care um and they're like he's like i'm not painting this room until you look

00:43:05.340 at it because then you're gonna tell me you hate it because some of them look they dry more like a

00:43:09.760 cream yep as opposed to a bright white so science women in stem uh oh also too like i want to share 1.00

00:43:19.440 this with you but like over the pandemic uh you know like everyone was in their home design phase they

00:43:24.880 were like oh i'm gonna finish project i'm gonna start a new one and like my dad's like brilliant idea

00:43:29.720 was to like redo the living room and he's like oh let's like get a new couch like for my mom on

00:43:34.480 mother's day because she had been saying like she wants to redo the space and like that's like my

00:43:38.620 childhood home like we've lived in there for a very long time and so my dad was like oh like let's

00:43:44.360 just do like an accent wall like that seems easy and we're like yeah but the the walls are so oddly

00:43:50.140 shaped and they have really high vaulted ceilings and so it's like literally me my sister my brother

00:43:56.280 my dad and my boyfriend like just we don't know what the fuck we're doing like we're just painting 0.91

00:44:01.040 and i was like let's do like a green and my dad's like okay and he picked like this dark green and so

00:44:06.200 we like painted the whole thing and we were like surprise she's like she was like wow i love it i love 0.55

00:44:15.520 this we did it like years ago and i know my mom wants my mom fucking hates it she wants to change 1.00

00:44:21.400 it so bad but we were i'm not kidding we watched like the show we can't talk about and we were like

00:44:26.980 my sister and i were like we saw them do a green and it looked so good like maybe we should try it

00:44:31.220 and it was not the same green literally at all it was way too fucking dark and so when you said it 0.88

00:44:36.320 makes the space feel smaller you're right yeah it does yeah it does make this big glorious high

00:44:40.580 vaulted room that now feels like a cave let's say they're like on a budget and they really want to

00:44:45.680 like maximize a space like a one bedroom apartment or something like where would you say they should

00:44:50.120 focus like their energies um i would say if you're on a budget you've got to do it a little by little i

00:44:55.740 would say focus your industries and your industries focus your industries focus your energies on the

00:45:00.840 items that are going to make the space function first oh okay because like oh i found this beautiful 0.99

00:45:05.600 piece of art i love i'm gonna spend some money on that well bitch you don't have a sofa 1.00

00:45:08.760 where will you sit yeah so focus on the things that will make the space first functional okay and 0.99

00:45:15.840 then when you can worry about decor wise making it pretty in the way you like it do that but first

00:45:20.700 like get the stuff that will make the home actually work for you oh okay that reminds me if you're

00:45:25.900 because you brought up a couch what are your thoughts on the cloud couch from resto yeah the like very

00:45:30.800 popular cloud couch um i think that anything for restoration hardware is extremely overpriced and

00:45:36.560 marked up for absolutely no reason period um and there's a lot of great other retailers

00:45:41.540 manufacturers out there that don't rip you off sorry you shouldn't have fired me

00:45:47.880 i'm all about that honestly in two they're always like i know i always see the white ones i don't know

00:45:54.980 if they come in other colors probably but i always see the white ones and i'm like i would destroy that 0.89

00:46:00.180 couch like i'm so bad with stains and spills like there's no way that house that that would

00:46:06.740 look disgusting in my house i can't get away we call our cloud couch the trash couch the stained

00:46:12.000 couch really is not a cloud that's why i'm like i see the white stuff and i'm like i don't know how

00:46:16.580 you do that and have pets like we have a i have a dog our house isn't like our sofa isn't white white

00:46:22.020 but it's like creamish off-white same yeah we have a pet but the key is like buy a sofa that has

00:46:27.080 removable cushion covers yeah you know to where you can't take it off and wash it don't buy a sofa

00:46:32.160 that the cushion like like this like this chair the cushion is part of the chair yeah you can't

00:46:38.140 wash it yeah literally i put my old couch in like my formal dining or my formal living room and those

00:46:45.340 ones have like removal it's kind of like a dupe of that cloud couch but it's a different brand and you

00:46:50.780 could take off the the covers and wash them and that worked out because my dog took a big old dump on it

00:46:56.580 like right when we moved in the new house why i don't fucking know it's never pooped on my couch 0.94

00:47:00.900 never like he i literally like we were walking past the living room and my boyfriend was like it 0.97

00:47:05.800 fucking smells bad over here like do you smell that i'm like no look a big giant dump he just left it on 0.97

00:47:11.400 that couch i'm like good thing i can remove those and wash the covers what did you do to him well we 0.99

00:47:16.880 just were like did you do that and he just like what did you do to him to make him act out like that oh

00:47:20.580 what did i i moved him into a big beautiful home apparently oh my god he was traumatized by the colors

00:47:25.520 before he's like get rid of this couch it's ugly it's not ugly but it is one of those couches that's

00:47:31.820 kind of low to the ground so it's hard to get out of yeah so yeah unless you're sitting really upright

00:47:37.840 and you're uncomfortable well that's what a formal living room is for

00:47:41.820 sitting upright being uncomfortable that's what i'm saying but yeah i guess that's his thoughts on my couch

00:47:47.540 he hates it what would you say is like a trend that you're really glad isn't a thing as much

00:47:54.820 anymore shiplap is that like that the wood the wood that's kind of like layered like yeah and

00:48:00.460 the kind of like slats uh-huh you see a lot of it from well i won't apparently i've talked too much

00:48:06.620 shit about this designer and i shouldn't do it anymore um about shiplap yeah shiplap makes you 0.97

00:48:12.300 i mean most fans at home will know exactly who i'm talking about when i say shiplap yeah damn i didn't 0.99

00:48:16.440 know you were talking that much shit on shiplap it's just i'm just over it just yeah i feel you 0.94

00:48:21.560 it's like led lights yeah no but those are new that's a new wave thing though and you're like 0.99

00:48:28.040 kill it immediately now yeah unless they're white yeah just like a one single color okay white you 0.73

00:48:34.640 really hate those multi-colored lights huh just nothing good comes from that nothing that's the devil's 0.98

00:48:40.360 word that's what you know yeah that's what you know the devil's real yeah because led lights exist

00:48:46.200 yeah do you remember the glam core aesthetic that was really big in like the 2010s

00:48:51.240 mirrored everything everything silver not for me me either yeah i've never been a glam girl me either

00:48:59.400 i feel like my taste is kind of like very neutral like i really like neutrals and like i don't like

00:49:05.100 a lot of color in my home especially not colored led lights hence the reason why led lights yeah i did

00:49:12.000 have those i will admit that too i didn't have a lot of them though but not with ivy right

00:49:16.440 no i never had the ivy i'm too old for that apparently i had no idea that was a thing until

00:49:20.860 i became a tiktoker like i had no idea that was a thing but i do remember like my boyfriend got some

00:49:26.900 of them i think just initially to put on the back of the tv which seems like such a teenage boy thing to

00:49:32.120 do were they synced with the tv though and they kind of changed based on what you were watching because

00:49:36.160 that i'm fine with they can yeah yeah yeah i'm down with that ours didn't but it was so funny

00:49:41.440 because when i first got them i thought they were for the wall so i like tried putting them up and

00:49:44.680 we didn't he didn't get enough of them so it's literally just one one wall that's it like half

00:49:49.620 a wall and that's it and if you like made them red or something it makes the whole room red yeah

00:49:54.140 which is kind of ominous yeah it's a little like funny like the bulbs that we the smart bulbs that

00:49:59.380 we have in our house they actually do change color oh yeah i was gonna ask how you felt about

00:50:03.320 those yeah you can i i mean i don't use them i only have them set for a nice warm white but the

00:50:08.920 other day we have a friend staying and she was like hey google turned to something and i i don't

00:50:14.480 know what she said but it just started turning everything in that like there's like i'm sorry

00:50:18.680 i can't turn the fridge off and this and that it's like and then all the lights started flashing

00:50:22.980 and changing colors and i'm like what is going on get google stop i have a google too yeah i love

00:50:29.600 google but i hate that you have to say girl oh i don't even want to say the name because our

00:50:33.840 listeners at home it'll start going off in their house i do hate that i always have to say okay

00:50:38.800 google or you have to greet it in order for it to listen i guess you could say google but you can

00:50:44.400 just say google now i think they eliminated having to say okay having to greet her yeah yeah sometimes

00:50:51.440 she listens to me oh she's always listening yeah like sometimes i'll like tell her to stop and i'll be

00:50:56.320 like google stop and then she doesn't stop so then i have to say it again and i'm like

00:51:00.080 uh i'm like girl stop you're pissing me off and then she's like i'm sorry i'm sorry that's not nice 0.87

00:51:06.240 yeah or i'll call her a name and she tells me that's not nice yeah so you're okay with smart

00:51:11.040 homes technology oh absolutely yeah okay cool i love that my sister my brother-in-law wants to get like

00:51:16.120 can't ring cameras and stuff and my sister's like no like people can watch us and i'm like who the

00:51:21.680 fuck wants to watch you like who who is like oh let me hack into these cameras in this like farmhouse 0.84

00:51:28.440 in the middle of nowhere that's it's probably going to be exciting i think all the time i'm like i'm 0.99

00:51:34.480 not living a life nearly interesting enough to watch yeah i mean i don't have cameras in my well i do

00:51:39.280 have one doggy camera in my house but like yeah i don't have cameras in my house because that i'm like

00:51:43.760 yeah somebody could hack that and we are kind of in the public eye yeah somebody might want to yeah um

00:51:48.480 but same i don't have them in the house i do have them all around my house though those are

00:51:52.440 really nice to have yeah as your team behind the camera pointed out which is why my watch

00:51:56.260 magically disappeared you kept seeing all of my ring notifications yeah our literally our cameraman

00:52:02.200 was watching he was reading all of your notifications he was like there's an animal in your front yard

00:52:06.880 i looked at a house once um to rent and i remember it was a beautiful home but like they had you know

00:52:16.220 the beauty of ring is that you can take it with you like when you leave you like uninstall and take

00:52:20.720 on like 80t or whatever and all his ring cameras were still there and they were all pointing in

00:52:25.980 and i remember asking like are you guys gonna take those like when you like if i were to get this house

00:52:31.580 and then they were like oh no the owner left those for you and i'm like they're all facing in it's like

00:52:36.780 and we could see in the windows yeah like they were facing inside you know typically if they're on the

00:52:40.880 outside of the house they'll point out it felt like they were pointing in towards like the doors so you

00:52:45.300 could like more so see inside and see in the backyard as opposed to watching the out you know

00:52:50.360 what i'm saying like oh my god that's so nice but yeah i just don't think i need those yeah i was like

00:52:55.260 well no like if i were to get this house i like would for sure need you to take those and she was 0.99

00:52:59.680 like well that's like a non-negotiable for the owner and i'm like weird yeah weird vibes yeah and the

00:53:05.020 backyard big beautiful backyard but the whole wall along the side like the back of it was all clear

00:53:10.480 like all see-through it was literally just plain glass and then there's like other houses over

00:53:15.780 there and i'm like so then you can see in the backyard that's strange landlord can watch me on

00:53:20.860 camera that's why i'm like he's trying to watch me that's weird she's like oh yeah they could like

00:53:24.720 he could give you a login and then like no no way no no way girl next thing i know they're like

00:53:30.600 pointing in the bathroom like mine and yours yeah that's fine but that was consensual

00:53:34.500 yeah you were there when i put that one in

00:53:37.080 just to wrap up on that note what would you say is like your best piece of advice for people

00:53:52.900 trying to curate a space that really caters not only to like their design preference like what they

00:53:58.220 love to see like what they think is beautiful but also like that really helps the mental and really

00:54:02.900 helps like you know settle you or give you peace whatever it may be to me the first thing design

00:54:09.120 like function is the mother of design so make sure your space functions for you because if your space

00:54:13.300 is dysfunctional you're going to be dysfunctional in your mind yeah so i always say like the first

00:54:17.680 thing you should think about my biggest piece of advice is to make sure the space is functional

00:54:21.760 because that's what's going to be best for your mental health i love that what's your sign

00:54:25.840 very good i knew it i knew i'm never wrong the way that you were describing everything i was like

00:54:32.460 this bitch is a virgo early virgo or late virgo i'm a mid virgo so i'm august 25th virgo 1.00

00:54:37.640 yeah when's your birthday that's actually my anniversary so let's look at us great things 0.99

00:54:42.500 happen on the 25th of august on september 18th period look at us i knew you were especially you

00:54:49.980 prioritizing functionality over that that's me too i'm very like i needed to work and function as in

00:54:56.780 like a working space but also a sane person would but apparently and we're big fans and neutrals 0.97

00:55:01.500 hate multi-colored things organization and look at us we're both we're both mentally ill

00:55:07.600 runs a lot in virgos apparently my husband tells me that whatever that means we just found out

00:55:16.840 recently that if he had been born one day before he'd be a virgo i know that sounds crazy to have

00:55:21.380 just found out recently but we just found out recently that his mom lied about his birthday his whole 0.91

00:55:25.120 life oh shit so he yeah we thought he was a gemini his whole life but now he's a libra one day before 0.99
