Season 4, Episode 20: “Two New Kitchens”

This episode of Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina features three standalone videos, all combined to show a double transformation.

Part One introduces “Handy Andy”, as a brand new kitchen is installed in the heart of the house, and an existing kitchen is relocated to the garage workshop.

(Please note: The first 30-seconds purposely has no audio).

Part Two showcases big changes in the kitchen, as the project has now crossed the midway point.

Production note: Challenges with microphones and recording equipment have introduced gremlins into several videos. This video tests a new audio fix (which is why Troy remains quiet throughout). It seems we’ve had success in finally tracking down and correcting the source of the troublesome audio struggles. It’s very exciting to press forward with future episodes that will provide you even better audio than was possible in the past. Thank you for hanging in there with us.

Part Three, the final installment in this three-part episode will highlight the finished product – including a second kitchen in the three-car garage.

Season 4, Episode 19: “Wallpaper and Windows”

This episode of Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina features two standalone videos, but each is rather short, so they are combined to present “one” fifteen minute episode.

Part One is all about wallpaper.

Part Two is playfully labelled “When a Door Closes, a Window Opens”, as the program tackles a window replacement project.

Season 4, Episode 18: “Welcome to the Museum House”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina enters a house – no, wait – a museum. No, wait, a home. Goodness, what in the world is this place?

Actually, this is a beautiful custom designed house that’s been specifically decorated with mementos and highly unique personalized decor from all around the world.

When Dina’s friend Mary first took her on a tour of this absolutely one-of-a-kind showcase, Dina immediately knew that you’d find it fun to take your own tour on an episode of Decorating Date Night.

Honestly, this episode could have been multiple hours in length, so we simply try to capture some of the highlights. Hopefully you’ll be inspired to try new ideas in your home.

Season 4, Episode 17: “Marketplace Find”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina tackles a do-it-yourself project.

Dina is always scouring every nook and cranny to find great shopping deals to help improve interior spaces on a tiny budget. In this case she found a gem on Facebook Marketplace.

This custom cabinetry would cost many thousands of dollars to purchase new. However, with a commitment of time, and the usage of ordinary household tools, the built-in look can be accomplished for a small fraction of the price.

This video for episode seventeen introduces the early transformation process from “refuse to reuse”, or in other words from “trash to treasure. The video for part two of this episode showcases the completed project for this showpiece.

This is part one.

This is part two.

Season 4, Episode 16: “Up on the Housetop”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina, in the holiday spirit, goes up on the housetop in search of reindeer. Er, actually there are no animals involved, and our feet never leave the ground. However, a new roofing project is the Christmas star of this episode.

In the old days there were regular ol’ asphalt shingles. Next came fancy architectural shingles. And now, there are designer shingles with unique styles and three-dimensional designs. Ho! Ho! Ho! Very cool!

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 12: “Sprucing Up Garage Doors”

Decorating Date Night with Troy and Dina has decided that it is time to spruce up the garage door!

This video episode shows phase one of the process.

This video captures phase two.

Here is phase three.

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.
