Orlando: Whisper Lakes

Orlando: Whisper Lakes - Hildi transforms an especially dull country-ish living room into a "spicy Asian" one with dark red, dark brown, and cream. She knocks out one wall and has Amy Wynn build another. Frank manages to show a little restraint as he beachifies a family room -- but not enough to keep from kitsching it up with fishnets.

Orlando: Winter Song Drive

Orlando: Winter Song Drive - Doug takes his "White Whoa" room, adds some aluminum flashing and faux sheepskin, shakes it up, and creates a bar/patio room that no one loves. Vern redecorates a pedestrian family room in mocha and red, while the HOs spurn his plan for black accents. The room is nice, but would have been sharper with black. Amy Wynn is on hand to help him and "Doogie."
