AND YOU'RE SPACE. YOU'RE HOME AND SURROUNDINGS,

I'M DEBI MARIE TODAY WE ARE MOVING UP.

THAT'S RIGHT, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT HOW YOU CAN BUY A HOME AND

SIDE STEP A LOT OF COST AND WASTED TIME AND THEN ONCE YOU

HAVE THAT NEW HOME, WE'LL GET INTO A LANDSCAPE PROJECT AND GET

SOME NEW BLINDS ON THE WINDOWS. WE'RE INSIDE, WE'RE OUTSIDE,

WE'RE ALL OVER TOWN. SO STICK AROUND AND SEE IT ALL

RIGHT HERE ON DESIGNING SPACES.

READY FOR A PROJECT THAT'S FUN AND

REWARDING? DIY IS ALWAYS REWARDING AND CAN

SAVE YOU SOME CASH AS WELL. HOW ABOUT A WINDOW TREATMENT

MAKEOVER? THE RESULTS ARE AMAZING!

AND WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW EASY IT REALLY CAN BE.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. (MUSIC)

PART OF THE REALITY OF OWNING A HOME IS THE DESIRE TO

MAKE OCCASIONAL CHANGES. WHEN CONSIDERING EVEN THE MOST

SUBTLE CHANGES, STYLE IS IMPORTANT FACTOR AND SO IS

ENERGY EFFICIENCY. TODAY DESIGNING SPACES TAKES YOU

TO HOME WHERE THE RESIDENTS ARE LOOKING FOR BOTH OF THESE.

AS THE HOME OWNERS GIVE THEIR OFFICE A WINDOW TREATMENT

MAKEOVER AS A DIY PROJECT. WELL, WE'VE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR

ABOUT 5 YEARS BUT QUITE FRANKLY, I'M GETTING LITTLE BORED WITH

THE WAY THIS HOUSE LOOKS NOW. (MUSIC)

WELL, WE AGREED WE NEEDED A CHANGE AND STARTING

WITH THE WINDOW TREATMENT SEEMED LIKE A GREAT AND EASY PLACE TO

START. THE WINDOW TREATMENTS ARE WHITE

NOW BUT I THINK A LITTLE BIT OF COLOR WOULD ADD SOME STYLE.

I'M THINKING OF GOING WITH A SOFT GREEN.

WELL, I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT THE COLOR BUT I KNOW IT'S

SOMETHING SHE REALLY WANTS. (LAUGHS) WELL, HE'S NEVER BEEN

THE BEST AT DIY PROJECTS BUT I'M READY TO HELP HIM.

I MEAN, AT THIS POINT, I WILL DO ANYTHING TO LIVEN UP THIS ROOM.

WELL, SHE'LL PROBABLY TO YOU THAT I'M NOT THE BEST HANDY MAN

BUT I KNOW I CAN DO THIS. AND ABOVE ALL, IT'LL MAKE HER

HAPPY. DESIGNING SPACES IS HERE TO

HELP. FIRST WE GUIDED THE CARDILLAS ON

HOW TO GET THE RIGHT MEASUREMENTS TO START THE

PROCESS. NEXT WE CONTACTED LEVOLOR CUSTOM

BLINDS AND SHADES AND ARRANGED FOR LARRY AND STACY TO GO TO

THEIR LOCAL HOME DEPOT TO MEET PRODUCT EXPERT VICTORIA

HENDERSON, WHO WILL HELP GUIDE THEM THROUGH THE SELECTION

PROCESS. (MUSIC)

SO, STACY AND LARRY, TELL ME WHY YOU'RE LOOKING TO

CHANGE YOUR WINDOW TREATMENTS? HONEY.

WELL, I THINK TO CHANGE THE LOOK, YOU KNOW BEING STYLISH IS

SO IMPORTANT AND THE WHITE WE HAVE NOW IS SO PLAIN AND

ESPECIALLY AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS, IT'S JUST DULL.

AND WE NEED SOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY TOO.

THEY JUST DON'T HOLD THE COLD AIR IN AND OUR ELECTRIC BILL IS

GOING OUT OF SIGHT. SURE.

NOW THIS IS FOR YOUR OFFICE. ARE YOU LOOKING TO HAVE LIGHT

FILTER IN THROUGH YOUR SHADES OR ARE YOU LOOKING TO COMPLETELY

BLOCK OUT THE LIGHT? I'M A BIG FAN A NATURAL LIGHT,

YEAH. I'D LIKE AS MUCH LIGHT AS

POSSIBLE. GREAT.

WELL, BASED ON OUR NEEDS TODAY, SO WE NEED FASHION AND WE NEED

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO HAVE LIGHT FILTER IN.

I WOULD RECOMMEND OUR LEVOLOR ACCORDIA CELLULAR SHADES.

AND THE REASON WHY IS THEY'RE ARE A PERFECT BLEND OF FASHION

AND FUNCTION. SO FROM A COLOR STANDPOINT, WE

HAVE OVER 200 FABRICS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO COORDINATE WITH YOUR

CURRENT HOME DECOR SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT

WILL ADD A POP OF COLOR TO YOUR WINDOW THAT I THINK YOU'LL

ABSOLUTELY LOVE. GREAT!

AND THEN, LARRY, FOR YOU ENERGY EFFICIENCY.

THAT IS TOP OF MIND FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, IT'S IMPORTANT TO

THEM TO SAVE MONEY ON THEIR HEATING AND COOLING COSTS SO

BECAUSE OF THE WAY OUR CELLULAR SHADES ARE MANUFACTURED OR

CREATED, IT ACTUALLY MAKES THE CELL OR A HONEYCOMB THAT LOCKS

AIR. IT'S A POCKET AND IT TRAPS AIR

THAT COMES THROUGH AND IT KEEPS IT FROM GOING INTO THE HOME.

SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE THAT MONEY AND IT WILL KEEP YOUR HOME

COOLER IN THE SUMMERTIME BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT

HOT AIR THAT'S GOING TO COME IN THROUGH THE WINDOW SO WE SHOULD

BE ABLE TO SET YOU GUYS UP WITH THAT.

LET'S HEAD OVER THE BOOK AND PICK OUT A COLOR THAT WILL BE

PERFECT FOR YOUR HOME DECOR. NOW DO YOU HAVE YOUR

MEASUREMENTS? I DO.

WONDERFUL. THANK YOU.

AND WE'LL GET YOU STARTED. (MUSIC)

I'VE INTRODUCED STACY AND LARRY TO THE HOME DEPOT

ASSOCIATE. WE KNOW THEY WANT LIGHT

FILTERING AND SHE RECOMMENDS DESIGNER TEXTURES BECAUSE OF THE

VARIETY OF COLORS AND OPTIONS AVAILABLE.

SHE SHOWS THEM ENERGY SHEILD AND STACY LOVES SAGE.

ONE OF LEVOLOR'S MOST POPULAR COLORS.

AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CARDILLAS HAVE MADE THEIR

DECISION. THE HOME DEPOT ASSOCIATE INPUTS

THE CUSTOM ORDER AND VICTORIA LETS THEM KNOW ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT

IN THE PROCESS. GUYS I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT YOUR

PURCHASE TODAY. AND IT'S GOING TO ARRIVE TO YOUR

HOME IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS CUSTOM MADE TO FIT YOUR WINDOW.

GREAT. GREAT.

I'VE GOT ONE BIG QUESTION. WHAT TOOLS AM I GOING TO NEED?

SURE. YOU NEED FOUR TOOLS.

YOU'LL NEED A DRILL, PHILIPS HEAD SCREW DRIVER, A TAPE

MEASURE AND A PENCIL. AND THE INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE IN THE PACKAGE WITH YOUR SHADES TO YOU

SHOULD FIND IT THERE. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAPPEN TO

MISPLACE IT YOU CAN GO TO LEVOLOR.COM AND THEY ARE ALWAYS

AVAILABLE TO YOU ONLINE. OH GREAT.

PERFECT. YEAH, NOW I HAVE AN IMPORTANT

QUESTION FOR US. SURE.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE US TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT?

BECAUSE THIS IS A DIY PROJECT IT SHOULD TAKE YOU LESS THAN AN

HOUR. WOW!

THAT'S QUICKER THAN WE THOUGHT. OKAY, I THINK WE CAN DO THIS.

YES WE CAN. (MUSIC)

TWO WEEKS LATER, THE CUSTOM BLINDS ARRIVE AND THE

CARDILLA'S ARE READY TO GET STARTED.

FIRST THING TO BE DOWN IS TAKE DOWN THE OLD BLINDS BEFORE

INSTALLING THE NEW BLINDS. (MUSIC)

(HAMMER NOISES) (MUSIC)

WELL HONEY, WE DID IT. GOOD JOB.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU (MUSIC)

I LOVE ARE NEW ACCORDIA CELLULAR SHADES.

THEY LOOK GREAT AND WITH THEIR DESIGN, THEY KEEP THE ROOM COOL

IN THE SUMMER AND WARM IN THE WINTER.

VICTORIA'S RIGHT, IT WASN'T HARD AT ALL AND IT MAKES A HUGE

DIFFERENCE IN THE ROOM. I THINK OUR WORK IS DONE HERE.
