Season 4, Episode 15: “Dressing Up the Dressing Room”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina takes you into the dressing room. Some houses have closets, others have walk-in closets, and a select few have dressing rooms!

Notice the storage cabinetry, the ample room for hangers, the sitting area, the stylish desk, the window bringing in natural light, and even the customized Italian chandelier.

What more could a girl want? (And what more could any guy want for his girl)?

Season 4, Episode 14: “All That Glitters is Not Gold”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina takes painting to new heights as Dina uses a pearlized technique to add metallic paint to a ten foot tray ceiling. This added sparkle proves to be the perfect touch in the evolution of a master bedroom suite.

Finding this specialized paint is rather difficult because (believe it or not!) the product is being discontinued by many manufacturers and retailers. It’s worth the hunt if you can track it down, since it provides a high-end touch that’s exponentially more affordable than wall paper, tiles, or pretty much every other option one might consider.

Season 4, Episode 13: “The Goodbye Tour”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina has dedicated a very large percentage of episodes to one particular property over the years. That project is now fully complete, and so there’s one last look at the space within the home (providing some history of the design choices made during the past remodeling endeavors).

Note: One of the two microphones failed during the recording, so parts of the audio are difficult to hear. However, most of the video does have very understandable audio, so we appreciate you bearing with us as you watch this very noteworthy (to us, anyway) edition of the program.

Season 4, Episode 11: “Drainage Ditch Digging”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina takes things outside – and Troy leaves Dina behind. 🙂

This video episode shows the construction of a new drainage system designed to funnel water runoff away from the house (and it’s landscaping beds), rerouting it to the woods in a far corner of the yard.

Note: Due to internet connection concerns, similar versions of the video were recorded twice. This is take one.

This is take two.

Season 4, Episode 10: “Tying Three Rooms Together”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina has often highlighted the benefits of tying together various areas on a home by using complementary color pallets and stylist themes. This is even more important when different rooms are all within line of sight with one another.

In this video episode Dina explains a number of décor choices, shopping tips, and how an eat-in kitchen, family room, and reading room are all tied together using a single set of furniture originally intended to be used in a single room.

Season 4, Episode 9: “Showing You The Door(s)”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina is showing you the door. (Plural doors, actually – as in three doors). There is a single-swing exterior iron door, an interior bypass door system, and a double-swing exterior iron door. These are very cool, and will set the tone for the entire house and the future decorating decisions moving forward.

The episode also provides an update on the status of redecorating the dining room and butler’s pantry.

Note: The audio for this episode is far better than the previous episode, but we’re still getting used to the new microphones. The next video, God willing, will have audio that’s even stronger.

Season 4, Episode 8: “Furnishings Enter the Picture”

Season Four, already challenging, now experienced very annoying technical troubles with the audio. It seems that our external microphone is meeting its demise. We apologize for the less than stellar quality, but have decided to post the episode for archive purposes as we track the progress of the whole house transformation. (We will use a new microphone for the next episode).
