- WELL, TODAY'S THE DAY.

WE HAVE TO FINISH ALL OF OUR DECORATING OF THIS SHOW HOUSE BY 5:00 THIS AFTERNOON.

HI, I'M VICKI PAYNE.

- AND I'M SLOAN RUTTER.

THIS YEAR, MOM AND I WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE INVITED TO DECORATE THE SUSAN G. KOMEN DREAM HOUSE.

- JOIN US FOR THE GRAND TOUR, AND MEET SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT MADE THIS HOUSE BEAUTIFUL AND OUR JOBS A LOT EASIER.

- COMING UP NEXT ON FOR YOUR HOME.

female announcer: FOR YOUR HOME IS MADE POSSIBLE BY: male announcer: ANDERSON HARDWOOD.

COMMITTED TO PRODUCING DISTINCTIVE, ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE HARDWOOD FLOORING WHILE HELPING TO CREATE A BETTER PLANET FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO: female announcer: AND BY: [jazzy bass music] ♪ ♪ AND BY AMES.

AMES TRUE TEMPER HAS OFFERED INNOVATIVE LANDSCAPE PRODUCTS SINCE 1774.

PROVIDING NONPOWERED LAWN AND GARDEN TOOLS, WHEELBARROWS AND LAWN CARTS, WATERING PRODUCTS AND DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES, INCLUDING PLANTERS.

AND BY: [upbeat guitar music] ♪ ♪ - WHEN SLOAN AND I FIRST STARTED THIS PROJECT, WE HAD PLENTY OF RED MUD, NO LANDSCAPING, AND MORE BLANK WALLS THAN YOU COULD EVER EVEN IMAGINE.

- AND TO GET US TO THIS PHASE, IT TOOK A LOT OF HARD WORK FROM A LOT OF HARDWORKING, TALENTED PEOPLE.

THEY LENT A HAND.

THEY INSPIRED US.

THEY HELPED US MOVE FURNITURE, AND I MEAN LOTS AND LOTS OF FURNITURE.

- THEY INSTALLED HARDWOOD FLOORING.

THEY STAINED WOOD, FAUX-FINISHED WALLS AND THEN MORE WALLS, AND EVEN HUNG WALLPAPER.

- THEY HUNG CHANDELIERS, INSTALLED DRAPES, ASSEMBLED BEDS, AND PUT THINGS TOGETHER.

- THEY MOVED PIANOS, STITCHED UP DRAPES, DESIGNED FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS, AND HELPED US PICK OUT OUR FABRICS.

- THIS IS A LITTLE DARKER THAN WHAT WE CHOSE.

- THEY INSTALLED WALKWAYS, FINISHED GARAGE FLOORS, PROVIDED ADVICE FOR OUR GARDENS, HUNG PLANTERS, AND LANDSCAPED THE YARD.

- AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAYERS, OF COURSE, WAS ERIC JOHNSON, OUR BUILDER.

HE WAS SO PATIENT WITH US AND SO ACCOMMODATING TO ALL OF OUR DEMANDS AND WISHES.

TO ALL OF YOU, WE WANT TO SAY... [together] THANK YOU.

- WHEN MOST OF YOU THINK OF ACCESSORIES, YOU THINK OF IT AS SOMETHING THAT COMES INTO THE ROOM AFTER THE FURNITURE'S IN PLACE.

WELL, FOR MOM AND I IN THIS DECORATING PROJECT, THE TRUE ACCESSORIES WERE THE ARTWORK, AND THE ARTWORK CAME BEFORE THE FURNITURE.

HI, ZOEY.

HOW ARE YOU?

- GOOD.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.

- IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF THE ARTWORK IN THIS HOME, THE REAL HUGE STATEMENT PIECES FOR US, LIKE THIS PIECE BEHIND US, LIVIE'S GARDEN.

THIS REALLY WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS ENTIRE ROOM.

THIS CAME BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE IN HERE DID.

SO SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LIVIE'S GARDEN.

- MY PRIMARY INFLUENCE HAS ALWAYS BEEN NATURE.

AND IN THIS CONTEXT, IT'S THE FIGURE, WHICH OF COURSE IS PART OF NATURE.

THERE WAS A ROMAN EMPRESS NAMED LIVIA, AND THIS PIECE IS BASED ON A FRESCO IN HER BEDROOM.

- OH.

- AND I BELIEVE IT'S IN THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM NOW, AND IT'S CALLED LIVIA'S GARDEN.

SO I TOOK THAT IMAGE FROM 2,000 YEARS AGO THAT A WOMAN USED IN HER ROOM AND DECIDED TO BRING IT INTO TODAY'S WORLD.

- WHICH YOU DID, AND YOU DID THAT WITH COLOR AND DESIGN AND EVEN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE POP ART-ESQUE FEELING ON THE SIDE WITH THE FLOWERS, THE BOLD COLORS.

IT REALLY IS AN INCREDIBLE STATEMENT PIECE.

BUT THE REAL STATEMENT PIECE, IN MY OPINION, OF THIS HOME, OF COURSE, IS THE MODERN WOMAN THAT WE HAVE IN OUR LIVING ROOM.

NOW, THAT ONE IS... - MOD SQUAD DIVA.

- MOD SQUAD DIVA, AND SHE IS A DIVA.

THAT PINK IS FABULOUS IN THERE.

OF COURSE THAT'S OUR REAL THEME OF THE HOUSE, IS THE PINK.

AND IT'S FUNNY, BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL COME INTO THIS HOME WITH THE TOUR AND WILL THINK THAT YOU CREATED THAT PIECE FOR THAT ROOM WHEN, IN ESSENCE, THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKED.

YOU ACTUALLY CREATED THAT PIECE BEFOREHAND, NOT HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS PROJECT AT ALL, AND WE'VE JUST COME FULL CIRCLE TO BRINGING THAT INTO HERE.

- FULL CIRCLE IS EXACTLY THE INSPIRATION.

THAT PIECE CAME FROM--WAS INSPIRED, IN ITS BEGINNING, BY THE MOD SQUAD CREW IN THOSE '60s MOVIES AND THOSE VIBRANT WOMEN.

- MM-HMM.

- I LOVE THAT.

I DEAL WITH WOMEN'S ISSUES IN MY WORK QUITE A BIT.

I LOOK AT WOMEN.

I TRY TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY SEE THEMSELVES, WHY THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS THEY DO, AND POSSIBLY BECOME A PART OF THEIR MOVING INTO A NEW IMAGERY.

THE MOD SQUAD DIVA IS A VERY BOLD STATEMENT.

- MM-HMM.

- SHE OBVIOUSLY HAS ONE BREAST, WHICH TAKES US BACK TO THE AMAZON WARRIORS, WHO WOULD OFTEN REMOVE A BREAST SO THEY COULD BECOME BETTER WARRIORS, BETTER ARCHERS.

AND NOW WE HAVE DIFFERENT REASONS FOR THE REMOVAL OF BREASTS, BUT WE'RE STILL WOMEN.

- AND WE'RE STILL WARRIORS.

- YES, AND WE'RE STILL WARRIORS.

- I LOVE THE WAY THAT YOU ARE KIND OF RE-CREATING HISTORY SOMEWHAT AND KIND OF TAKING WOMEN IN THE DIRECTION WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM GO BUT NOT FORGETTING WHERE THEY'VE BEEN, WHICH I THINK, IF WE LOOK AT OUR DINING ROOM WITH THE LITTLE BLACK DRESSES, IT'S REALLY A HISTORY LESSON IN ITS OWN RIGHT.

- YES, IT IS.

- AND I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT'S REALLY FASCINATING.

THE LITTLE BLACK DRESSES, THOUGH-- YOU KNOW, THE LBD, LITTLE BLACK DRESS, HAS BEEN AROUND FOREVER.

IT'S A FASHION ICON.

BUT YOU HAVE TRANSFORMED IT TO PAPER, AND THAT'S ANOTHER STATEMENT ROOM, AND THAT CREATED THAT DINING ROOM FOR US.

- IT'S--AGAIN, IT'S PART OF NATURE AND GOING TO WOMEN THEMSELVES AND SEEING HOW THEY SEE THE-- YOU KNOW, SEEING HOW THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR BODIES VISUALLY.

AND SO MUCH OF THE MEDIA HAS PORTRAYED WOMEN KIND OF A STRAIGHTISH STICK.

BUT, AGAIN, IF YOU GO BACK IN HISTORY, THERE'S ONE PRIMARY GESTURE THAT SAYS WOMAN THROUGHOUT TIME, ALL OVER THE WORLD, BEYOND LANGUAGE, AND THAT IS THIS GESTURE.

- MM-HMM, IT IS THE CURVE OF THE WOMAN.

- IT IS THE CURVE, AND I WANTED TO GO BACK TO THAT AND REALLY TAKE IT AND SEE HOW FAR I COULD PRESS THAT AND SHOW ITS BEAUTY AND ITS GRACE, YOU KNOW, AND LET US ALL EMBRACE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHO WE ARE.

- WELL, I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT THAT, ZOEY, IS THAT YOU'VE DONE IT SO ELEGANTLY IN ALL OF YOUR ARTWORK.

I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH US IN THIS CAUSE THIS SEASON.

AND, TRULY, YOUR PIECES HAVE REALLY BEEN THE INSPIRATION.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THE INSPIRATION TO SO MANY OF THE ROOMS IN THIS HOME.

- IT'S A PLEASURE.

- WELL, THIS PROJECT WASN'T ALL ABOUT HARD WORK.

- AND IT WASN'T ALL ABOUT DECORATING EITHER.

THIS WAS A PROJECT WHERE MOM AND I REALLY GOT TO COME TOGETHER WITH THE FELLOW MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

- WE THREW ON OUR WALKING SHOES, GRABBED OUR FAMILY AND OUR FRIENDS, AND HEADED OUT FOR THE RACE FOR THE CURE.

THE SUSAN G. KOMEN RACE FOR THE CURE IS ONE OF THE LARGEST RACE SERIES IN THE WORLD.

WE WERE HAPPY TO DO OUR PART THIS PAST OCTOBER AND RUN THE RACE TO SUPPORT THE CURE.

WE GOT A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS TOGETHER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RACE.

THE RACE HAS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART, BEING A CANCER SURVIVOR MYSELF AND KNOWING HOW MANY LIVES ARE TOUCHED BY THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE.

I WAS INSPIRED TO PUT ON MY WALKING SHOES AND JUMP INTO THE SEA OF PINK.

THE RACE SYMBOLIZES MANY THINGS.

FOR SOME, IT IS A CELEBRATION OF WINNING OVER INSURMOUNTABLE ODDS.

FOR OTHERS, IT'S ABOUT REMEMBERING AND HONORING THOSE THAT LOST THEIR BATTLE.

FOR US, IT'S ABOUT EDUCATION.

WE NEED TO TEACH ALL GENERATIONS THE VALUE OF EARLY DETECTION AND HOW EVERYONE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

IT MEANT A LOT TO ME TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE WITH MY DAUGHTER AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER, BECAUSE THIS DISEASE AFFECTS WOMEN OF ALL GENERATIONS.

OKAY, WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING A DREAM HOME, YOU GOT TO LOOK THE PART.

IT WAS A 5K RUN/WALK, AND WE HAD A BLAST THE ENTIRE TIME.

THE RACE TOOK PLACE IN DOWNTOWN CHARLOTTE, AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CAME OUT TO SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION.

IT WAS AMAZING TO WATCH THE SEA OF PINK ALL GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND COMING TOGETHER FOR THIS EVENT.

THERE WERE SOME VERY COMICAL OUTFITS, SHOWING US ALL ONCE AGAIN THAT THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE.

THERE WERE ALSO MANY MOMENTS THAT REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART.

IT IS EXTRAORDINARY THE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS WE ARE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE WITHIN OUR OWN COMMUNITIES.

I'M HERE WITH GLORIA SCIENSKI TODAY, AND SHE'S THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE CHARLOTTE AFFILIATES.

HI, GLORIA.

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

- GOOD.

- YOU KNOW, I'M SO GLAD YOU COULD JOIN US, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE SHOW HOUSE HERE.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN.

BUT YOU HAVE A VERY SERIOUS MISSION, AND YOU HAVE A VERY SERIOUS ORGANIZATION THAT YOU WORK SO DILIGENTLY TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT.

LET'S SHARE WITH OUR VIEWERS EXACTLY WHAT YOUR ORGANIZATION IS.

- WELL, SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE WAS FOUNDED OVER 25 YEARS AGO, BASED ON A PROMISE BETWEEN TWO SISTERS.

NANCY BRINKER PROMISED HER SISTER, SUSIE, WHO WAS DYING OF BREAST CANCER, THAT SHE WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE, THAT SHE WOULD SEE THAT OTHER WOMEN DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME OUTCOME, AND THAT THERE WOULD BE HOPE.

- WELL, SHE HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB IN CARRYING THAT TORCH FORWARD.

- SHE HAS.

- AND IT'S A PART THAT WE'RE JUST REALLY GLAD TO BE A PART OF.

TELL ME ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER.

- WELL, WE KNOW THAT THROUGH EARLY DETECTION, MORE LIVES ARE SAVED.

AND TODAY, BECAUSE OF THE MESSAGING, WE KNOW THAT WOMEN, WHEN BREAST CANCER IS CAUGHT EARLY AND CONTAINED TO THE BREAST, THAT THEY HAVE A 98% SURVIVAL RATE OF FIVE YEARS OR BEYOND.

SO THE FIVE-YEAR SURVIVAL RATE WOULD BE 98%.

THAT IS HUGE.

- IT IS.

IT'S DRAMATIC.

AND, NOW, YOU YOURSELF ARE A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR.

- I AM, TEN YEARS JUST ABOUT NOW.

- WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.

- THANK YOU.

- AND I KNOW THAT THAT IS REALLY INSPIRATIONAL.

I'M A CANCER SURVIVOR MYSELF.

AND WHEN YOU TALK WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING THROUGH THAT TRAGEDY WITH THEIR MOTHER, THEIR SISTER, THEIR COWORKER, IT REALLY IS INSPIRING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SURVIVING.

AND YOU SAID NOW WE ARE A WORLD, A GENERATION OF SURVIVORS.

- WE DEFINITELY ARE A GENERATION OF SURVIVORS.

TODAY THERE IS 2 1/2 MILLION SURVIVORS OF BREAST CANCER, MEN AND WOMEN.

AND IT'S A SPEED BUMP IN LIFE, BUT THERE'S A NEW NORMAL ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND WE ARE A GENERATION OF SURVIVORS.

- WELL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO GET THE WORD OUT TO YOUNGER PEOPLE-- THE GRANDDAUGHTERS, SAY, AND THE DAUGHTERS OF WOMEN?

- WELL, WE JUST THINK THAT IS SO IMPORTANT.

AS YOUNG GIRLS GROW UP, WE WANT THEM TO BECOME SO COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR BREAST HEALTH THAT THEY JUST BUILD IT INTO PART OF THEIR HEALTH ROUTINE.

SO WE REACH OUT BOTH TO SCOUTS, TO SCHOOLS, THROUGH PROGRAMS WITH MOTHERS AND SISTERS AND TEACHERS JUST TO HELP OUR DAUGHTERS FEEL SO--AND OUR GRANDDAUGHTERS AND GIRLS IN OUR LIFE FEEL SO COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR BREAST HEALTH.

- WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HEARD ABOUT MAMMOGRAMS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR WOMEN TO START HAVING MAMMOGRAMS?

- WE STILL SAY THAT AT 40, A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE A BASELINE MAMMOGRAM WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT EACH WOMAN REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW HER BREAST HISTORY.

AND THROUGH HER BREAST HISTORY, SHE AND HER DOCTOR CAN DECIDE.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT SHE'S EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT WITH HER OWN HEALTH, OR MAYBE SHE HAS A FAMILY HISTORY, THEN THEY MAY MOVE THAT EARLIER AND TAKE A BASELINE.

SO, AGAIN, WE HAVE SOME GUIDELINES, BUT WE ENCOURAGE EACH WOMAN TO KNOW HER HISTORY, KNOW HER OWN BODY, AND WORK WITH HER DOCTOR.

- AND FAMILY GENETICS IS SO IMPORTANT IN THIS FIGHT AS WELL.

- IT IS.

IT'S SURPRISING, THOUGH, THAT THE LARGEST RISK FOR BREAST CANCER IS BEING A WOMAN AND GETTING OLDER.

ONLY ABOUT 5% TO 10% OF WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER HAS A GENETIC CONNECTION.

- REALLY?

THAT'S SURPRISING TO ME.

- IT IS.

SO, AGAIN, JUST BEING A WOMAN AND GETTING OLDER.

- WELL, AND HOPEFULLY WE ALL ARE GOING TO DO THAT, RIGHT?

WE'RE ALL GOING TO GET OLDER; THAT'S OUR MISSION.

WELL, SLOAN AND I PARTICIPATED IN THE RACE FOR THE CURE THIS YEAR.

THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN, AND IT WAS VERY INSPIRING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE CAME DOWN.

AND WE TOOK, YOU KNOW, SLOAN'S DAUGHTER, MY GRANDDAUGHTER, TO PARTICIPATE.

AND THAT'S A GOOD WAY FOR US TO START THIS NEW MESSAGE TO OUR GRANDDAUGHTERS AND OUR CHILDREN.

- ABSOLUTELY.

WE REALLY WANT WOMEN TO COME FROM A POSITION OF HOPE AND STRENGTH AND NOT FEAR.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU FIND SOMETHING, WE DON'T WANT YOU JUST TO IGNORE IT AND THINK, "WELL, I'M AFRAID," BECAUSE, AGAIN, EARLY DETECTION, THE FIVE-YEAR SURVIVAL RATE IS OVER 98%.

AND SO WE DO WANT TO COME FROM A POSITION OF POWER.

- WELL, THANK YOU, GLORIA, VERY MUCH FOR GIVING US MORE INSIGHT INTO THE GREAT WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING.

- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- IN CASE YOU MISSED ONE OF THE LAST 12 EPISODES OF FOR YOUR HOME, WE WANT TO GIVE YOU THE GRAND TOUR OF THIS SHOW HOUSE.

BY THE END OF 13 DAYS, WE HAD DECORATED THE ENTIRE SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE SHOW HOUSE.

WE TRIED TO USE DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT WERE UNIQUE AND INTERESTING WHILE KEEPING THE ENTIRE HOME RELAXED AND COMFORTABLE.

THE BEDDING USED THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE WAS A LARGE PART OF WHERE THE COLOR PALETTES FOR EACH BEDROOM CAME FROM.

WE KEPT IT TRADITIONAL IN THE BOYS' ROOM BY USING CREAM, BROWN, AND BLACK FABRICS.

IN THE TEENAGE GIRL'S ROOM, WE WENT FOR FUN AND FESTIVE WITH MAGENTA AND TANGERINE FABRICS FOR THE BEDDING.

WE SWITCHED GEARS FOR OUR GUEST QUARTERS BY USING A TONE-ON-TONE DESIGN PALETTE AND ADDED A POP OF ORANGE AND YELLOW ON THE LARGE DECORATIVE PILLOWS.

THE MASTER SUITE ALSO FEATURED A NEUTRAL PALETTE, STARTING WITH A BEAUTIFUL LEATHER HEADBOARD AND MATCHING BEDDING.

THROUGHOUT THE HOME, THE LIGHTING MAKES A TERRIFIC DECORATIVE STATEMENT.

THE MIRRORED SCONCES IN THE GUEST ROOM PROVIDED LIGHT AND ADDED A DRAMATIC EFFECT, WHILE THE ELEGANT WALL SCONCES IN THE FRONT FOYER PROVIDED GRACE AND BEAUTY.

TWO TORTOISESHELL LAMPS DRESSED UP THE CREDENZA USED IN THE MEDIA ROOM, WHILE A BEAUTIFULLY UNDERSTATED METAL AND CRYSTAL CHANDELIER HUNG IN THE DINING ROOM.

BEAUTIFUL DARK HARDWOOD FLOORS WITH A HAND-SCRAPED FINISH PROVIDED THE PERFECT BACKDROP TO OUR ROOMS.

WE KEPT THE RUGS THROUGHOUT THE SHOW HOUSE SIMPLE AND ELEGANT.

THE MORE FORMAL AREAS OF THE HOME FEATURED STRIKING ORIENTAL RUGS.

THEY REALLY DRESSED UP THE DINING ROOM, OUR MUSIC CENTER, AND THE LARGE LIVING ROOM.

THE CARPET WE SELECTED FOR THE BOYS' ROOM AND THE GUEST ROOM FEATURED A SIMPLE WINDOWPANE DESIGN WITH A SLIGHT COLOR SHIFT.

THE MEDIA ROOM'S CARPET WAS A NEUTRAL PLAID.

AND FOR THE GIRL'S ROOM, WE CHOSE A THICK CREAM CARPET THAT WOULDN'T TRY AND COMPETE WITH THE BOLD COLORS IN THE FABRICS.

THE FURNITURE WE SELECTED THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE WAS ALL CUSTOM DESIGNED AND UNIQUE.

THE CRUSHED VELVET MAGENTA CHAIR IN THE GIRL'S ROOM WAS THE PERFECT TOUCH OF ELEGANCE AND SOPHISTICATION FOR THIS SPACE.

THE CONTEMPORARY WING CHAIRS WE INTRODUCED TO THE DINING ROOM ADDED AN INVITING TOUCH TO THIS SPACE.

THE BROWN SUEDE SIDE CHAIRS WERE ELEGANT AND UNDERSTATED.

THE KEEPING ROOM'S LIGHT, AIRY LOOK WAS SUPPORTED BY THESE FANTASTIC WHITE CANVAS AND WOVEN RAFFIA SIDE CHAIRS.

BUT THE BIGGEST STATEMENT CREATED BY CHAIRS HAS TO BE IN THE MEDIA ROOM.

FOUR BRIGHT RED LEATHER SWIVEL CHAIRS COMMAND YOUR ATTENTION THE MOMENT YOU WALK INTO THIS ROOM.

THEY ARE AS COMFORTABLE AS THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL.

A TAILORED ROSE-AND-BROWN SOFA SET THE TONE FOR THE LIVING ROOM.

A FRENCH-INSPIRED SOFA WITH CANVAS CUSHIONS WAS THE PERFECT SEATING SOLUTION FOR THE GUEST ROOM.

AND IN THE KEEPING ROOM, WE CHOSE A WIDE HERRINGBONE SOFA WITH A RICH ENGLISH WOODEN FRAME.

LARGE WOODEN TABLES AND STORAGE PIECES ANCHORED MANY OF THE ROOMS THROUGHOUT THE HOME.

THE TANGERINE DRESSER IN THE GIRL'S BEDROOM WAS A NICE DESIGN ACCENT PIECE BUT ALSO VERY FUNCTIONAL.

A LARGE SECRETARY DESK IN THE GUEST ROOM WAS AN ENGLISH ANTIQUE FEATURING RICH ORANGE BURL WOOD.

IN THE MEDIA ROOM, A HUGE BLACK BUFFET PROVIDED STORAGE FOR GAMES AND TOYS.

THE DINING ROOM FEATURED TWO LARGE SERVING PIECES: ONE BROWN, ONE BLACK.

THE CASUAL DINING AREA ALSO FEATURED A CABINET WITH AMPLE STORAGE FOR DISHES AND SERVING PIECES.

MUCH OF OUR DESIGN INSPIRATION CAME FROM THE ORIGINAL ARTWORK THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.

WE SELECTED ART WITH BIG, BOLD COLORS TO BRING COLOR AND SPIRIT INTO THE HOUSE.

DOZENS OF WONDERFUL PIECES FOUND THEIR WAY INTO EVERY ROOM.

NO HOME IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A GREAT-LOOKING YARD AND CREATIVELY DESIGNED OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES.

A ROOMY SOFA AND INVITING LOUNGE CHAIR BECKON OUR VISITORS TO SIT A WHILE AND ENJOY THE FIRE ON THE COVERED PORCH.

THE LANDSCAPING IS NATURAL AND UNDERSTATED.

IT EASES THIS BEAUTIFUL SHOW HOUSE INTO ITS WOODLAND SETTING.

- IN ORDER FOR MOM AND I TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN DECORATING THIS HOUSE AND TO BE ABLE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU AT HOME, WE KNEW THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO DECORATE THIS HOUSE TWICE.

THAT'S RIGHT; WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A SHOW HOUSE FOR OUR VIEWERS AT HOME AND THEN CREATE A HOLIDAY SHOW HOUSE FOR ALL OF THE VISITORS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO TOUR THE HOUSE THIS WINTER.

BUT IN ORDER TO TURN IT INTO A HOLIDAY HOME, WE'VE GOT TO MOVE FAST.

WE HAVE FOUR DAYS.

SO I'VE CALLED UPON OUR GOOD FRIEND AND FELLOW DESIGNER JERRY VICK.

HEY, JERRY.

- HEY, SLOAN.

- HOW ARE YOU?

- I'M DOING GOOD.

- ARE YOU READY TO WORK?

- I'M VERY READY.

I'M READY TO TURN THIS INTO A BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY HOME.

- ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S SHARE WITH OUR VIEWERS KIND OF OUR VISION FOR THE HOUSE AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN HERE.

- WELL, THE FIRST THING WE REALLY WANTED TO DO FOR A HOME LIKE THIS IS TO KEEP IT CLASSIC, UPSCALE, WITH A BEAUTIFUL TONE OF HOLIDAY... - ABSOLUTELY.

- WITHOUT GOING OVERBOARD WITH SO MUCH COLOR.

SO WE'RE DOING A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SETTING WITH BEAUTIFUL PINES, CONES, LOTS OF SPARKLE WITH THE NATURAL-LOOKING ICED BRANCHES, THE LEAF BRANCHES, BEAUTIFUL ORCHIDS, BLACK LEAVES.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO HERE IN THE DINING ROOM.

- SORT OF NONTRADITIONAL COLORS, THOUGH.

- NONTRADITIONAL COLORS, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE ICED AND NATURAL-LOOKING WITH PINES AND CEDARS.

- OKAY, SO FOR HERE IN THE DINING ROOM, WE'RE GOING TO DO THE TABLE, OF COURSE.

- WE'RE GOING TO DO A BEAUTIFUL TABLE SETTING FOR EIGHT, AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL GARLAND AND SWAG THAT'S GOING TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL TIE-IN TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING GIVES YOU A GREAT VISION AS SOON AS YOU COME THROUGH THE DOOR.

EVERYBODY GOES, "WOW."

- THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.

THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.

NOW, CHRISTMAS TREES.

WE ARE GOING TO ADD SOME TYPICAL CHRISTMAS TREES, RIGHT?

- WE ARE; WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO TREES IN THE KEEPING ROOM, WHICH IS GOING TO PLAY OFF ALL THE COLORS THAT ARE DONE IN THE KEEPING ROOM.

WE'RE GOING TO DO A TREE IN THE MUSIC ROOM, WHICH IS GOING TO ALSO PLAY OFF THOSE COLORS.

AND THERE WE'LL GET TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE FUN WITH SOME RED BERRIES AND SOME ICED AND BRING IN THAT BLACK AGAIN, 'CAUSE BLACK IS A BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT COLOR, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T THINK OF IT AS AN ELEGANT COLOR.

- A HOLIDAY COLOR.

- EXACTLY.

BUT, AS YOU CAN SEE, JUST BY ADDING THAT-- - THE CONTRAST, I THINK, FROM THE SILVER AND THE GOLD REALLY JUST MAKES THE REST OF THE COLORS POP THAT YOU TRADITIONALLY USE IN THE HOLIDAYS.

- THAT'S CORRECT.

- OKAY, WELL, JERRY, SO FAR, I THINK THAT WE ARE ON PAGE.

AND I KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT LOTS OF GOODIES HERE AND WE'VE GOT MORE THAT WE NEED TO GET UNLOADED AND GET IN HERE AND START DECORATING.

SO STAY TUNED.

SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

- WELL, SLOAN AND I ARE THROUGH WITH OUR JOB, AND AS SOON AS JERRY HAS FINISHED HIS, WE'RE ALL GETTING DRESSED UP, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO KICK OFF THIS SHOW HOUSE WITH A BLACK-TIE EVENT.

ON A SATURDAY EVENING IN NOVEMBER, WE KICKED OFF THE WEEKEND TOURS OF THE SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE SHOW HOUSE WITH A BLACK-TIE BUBBLE BALL.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN TO GET ALL DOLLED UP AND HEAD OUT FOR A NIGHT OF DINNER AND DANCING.

THERE WAS EVEN A SILENT AUCTION, WITH THE PROCEEDS FROM AUCTION ITEMS GOING TO THE SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE.

SLOAN AND I WERE EXCITED TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOR FOR THE PAST MONTH.

WE WERE MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THE RAVE REVIEWS RECEIVED FROM THE ATTENDEES AT THE EVENT.

EVERYONE FELT REALLY AT EASE AND COMFORTABLE IN THE HOME, AND WE COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE THAN THAT.

THE BUBBLE BALL WAS THE PERFECT WAY TO SHOW OUR GRATITUDE TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US ALONG THE WAY.

A LOT OF HARD WORK AND MAN-HOURS WENT INTO THIS HOUSE, AND I THINK IT WAS MORE THAN APPROPRIATE THAT WE WERE ALL ABLE TO CELEBRATE TOGETHER IN THE WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE WE HAD CREATED.

IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO SEE PLUMBERS, CARPENTERS, AND BUILDERS DRESSED TO THE NINES.

WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS TIME TO VISIT WITH OLD FRIENDS AND MEET NEW FACES OF FELLOW BREAST CANCER RESEARCH SUPPORTERS AND SURVIVORS.

EVERYONE WAS IN GOOD SPIRITS, AND THE NIGHT WENT FLAWLESSLY.

COMING UP NEXT, A CLASSIC FYH DECORATING TIP.

MOST OF US ARE REALLY WORKING HARD AT CREATING A MORE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT INSIDE OF OUR HOMES FOR OUR FAMILY AND OUR FRIENDS.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL FOR ARE WHAT THEY CALL GASSING-OFF VAPORS THAT COME INTO YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOU BRING IN NEW FABRICS OR NEW CARPET OR MAYBE NEW FURNITURE.

WELL, THIS COULD BE A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR BUYING USED FURNITURE, BECAUSE ALL THAT GASSING OFF HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

ONE OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WITH ANTIQUES, THOUGH, IS, YOU WANT TO LOOK OUT FOR LEAD PAINT.

NOW, THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE OUTDOOR GARDEN CHAIR, AND YOU COULD MAKE A NICE CUSHION FOR IT AND BRING IT INTO ANY ROOM.

BUT WHAT WORRIES ME ABOUT IT IS THE PAINT THAT'S ON IT.

SINCE THIS IS AN ANTIQUE PIECE, THAT PAINT COULD CONTAIN LEAD.

THAT, WE DON'T WANT.

SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING TO BE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT, BECAUSE NOW YOU CAN TEST FOR IT BEFORE YOU BRING IT INTO YOUR HOUSE.

NOW, THEY SELL A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT LEAD TESTING KITS OUT THERE, AND THEY RANGE IN MARKET FROM ANYWHERE FROM AROUND $9 UP TO $30.

ALL YOU DO IS TAKE THE SWAB THAT COMES IN THE KIT, RUB IT OVER THE SURFACE THAT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT, AND IF THE SWAB TURNS TO PINK OR RED, THEN YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT LEAD PAINT ON YOUR HANDS... OR ON YOUR ANTIQUE.

YOU WANT TO USE THE CHARTS THAT COME WITH THOSE KITS TO COMPARE SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN ABOUT THE SURFACE CONDITION.

NOW, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS LITTLE TOY.

THIS IS WHERE YOU REALLY WANT TO BE CAREFUL AND BE SURE THAT YOU DO TESTING.

ANTIQUE TOYS COULD CONTAIN LEAD PAINT.

AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE LETTING CHILDREN PLAY WITH IT, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE TESTED.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

AS LONG AS YOU'VE GOT THAT LEAD TESTING KIT, WHY NOT TEST YOUR NEW TOYS AS WELL?

WE ALL HAVE READ THE HEADLINES ABOUT THAT.

NOW, WE DON'T NEED TO BE CONCERNED JUST ABOUT PAINTED PIECES.

WE ALSO NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT SOME OF THE DISHES, THINGS THAT FOOD IS GOING TO COME IN CONTACT WITH-- FOR EXAMPLE, THIS LITTLE TEAPOT THAT I HAVE HERE.

ISN'T IT ADORABLE?

WELL, IF YOU TURN IT OVER, ON THE BOTTOM IT SAYS, "MEXICO."

A LOT OF THESE PIECES THAT ARE MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO CONTAIN LEAD IN THE GLAZE THAT THEY PUT ON THEM.

YOU WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU DON'T USE THESE FOR FOOD.

IT'S PERFECTLY FINE AS A DECORATIVE PIECE, BUT DON'T PUT HOT TEA IN IT.

NOW, NOT ONLY CERAMIC PIECES WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT, BUT LOOK AT THIS LITTLE ENAMELED BOWL.

WHILE YOU'RE TESTING, GO AHEAD, GET OUT YOUR TEST KIT, AND MAKE SURE THIS IS SAFE, BECAUSE WOULDN'T THIS BE GREAT TO FILL IT UP WITH SOME NICE ORANGES AND PUT IT OUT ON A TABLE FOR YOUR NEXT PICNIC?

SO DON'T BE AFRAID OF THOSE ANTIQUES, BUT BE SURE YOU DO YOUR TESTING.

YOU KNOW, SLOAN, THIS SEASON WAS A LOT OF WORK.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I REALLY ENJOYED IT.

AND NOW THAT IT'S ALL DONE, REFLECTING BACK ON IT, IT WASN'T BAD.

- NO, IT WASN'T, AND IT WAS ALL WORTH IT, 'CAUSE IT WAS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

BUT NOW WE GET TO JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX.

- ABSOLUTELY.

- HEY, LADIES?

I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HARD WORK, BUT THE WORK'S NOT OVER.

NOW WE GOT TO MOVE EVERYTHING OUT.

- [together] OH, NO!

- COME ON IN.
