Makeover: A Stylish Living/Dining Room from Pure Design

Jacques and Nadine's living/dining room before...

I don't know about you guys, but I'm loving this season of Pure Design! The makeovers are fresh and bright without being too "TV" -- AKA too impossibly beautiful to imagine actually living in. This week, Samantha and her team tackled an 1886 row house belonging to organic shirt designers Jacques and Nadine. You would think fashion designers wouldn't need help with their home, but this stylish couple were at a loss when it came to incorporating their flat screen TV (and all the accompanying wires, see above right), an entertaining space and a work space. He likes more of a European aesthetic; she leans more towards the modern.

...and after the Samantha Pynn treatment.

 

The result is a calm, elegant, Euro-modern space with ample seating, a neutral, tactile palette and a place for that pesky TV. I love the two damask-y cube stools and the new darker floors. Handyman Christian also recreated the original 1886 baseboards -- learn how he did it -- and get Samantha's drapery styling tips, too.

What do you think? See all the before and after photos in the episode gallery.

We are taking lots of inspiration from Samantha.  Our daughter really loved the look of the little girls room and we're looking this weekend for a soft ottoman, we've never liked coffee tables so the idea of using an ottoman instead is brilliant.  Keep it up please Sam and the Pure Design team. One of our favourite shows on HGTV.

Tila Tequila, never known for her shyness or sobriety or an excess of clothing, had a naked, ranting meltdown Wednesday night on her UStream channel, and today the video has been taken down. And Tila's lawyer told TMZ.com today that he's trying to get help for the star of MTV's "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila."  

Hey there everyone aparently the star Tila Tequila went crazy after her boyfriend who is aparently a football star assulted her and yelled at her for being bisexual. She then got naked and went on her UStream and chatted for a few hours about how he was a drug addict and beat her. You can download the whole session with chat included right here tinyurl.com/yzjyx5x
