Transcript

Speaker 1

Let's say good morning to the host of home on KF it's the house whisper Dean Sharp Morning.

Speaker 2

Dean morning, Amy.

Speaker 1

So all the world is a stage, including your house. Huh.

Speaker 2

Absolutely explain please. Well, you know, when it comes to home design, most people feel out of their depth in trying to figure out what to do with their home, what's wrong with their home? How can I make this thing better? And so I'm always looking for ways, metaphors, images, examples to help explain and kind of break down what good design looks like. And this weekend we're going to approach it from the perspective that great architecture is truly theater.

And what I mean by that is there are certain things that those of us who live in the twenty first century do understand about theater, whether we're watching a stage play or watching a movie or a TV show, and that is that there are, you know, for for instance, components, there are lead actors, there are parting actors, there are extras that are in the background, there are scenes that are behind them, and that there's kind of a hierarchy,

right that not everybody can be talking at the same time, not everybody can be at the front of the stage. At the same time, there are focal points in every scene, and that's the way the director gets the story told. And if we were to stand in any given room in our home and ask those same questions of the things that are there, we could start to actually, you know, break apart the understanding of why our rooms don't make the effect that they could make, and apply the same principles.

Speaker 1

I love that. Fun. What a fun analogy. And then part of the all the World's of stage thing too is that, and you've talked about this with us before, is how you want to tell your story through your house.

Speaker 2

Exactly. I mean, that's the whole point of I hope it's the whole point of people wanting to make their homes more beautiful, not just more beautiful in a generic magazine spread sense, but more beautiful in the way that it enhances and tells the story of who they are because it's your home. And so by using this metaphor of theater and applying it in different ways, I'm hoping that it will continue to help people understand how it is that we can affect change to those spaces.

Speaker 1

I love that, and you're going to talk about that all weekend.

Speaker 2

We'll be taking calls on Saturday and of course always open to talking about this, but the big show on Sunday from nine to noon. Great architecture is Theater.

Speaker 1

I love it, so six to eight on Saturday you'll be taking phone calls on home and then nine to noon on Sunday it's home with Dean Sharp. It's our very own house whisper and if you'd like to follow him, it's at home with Dean. Thank you so much, Dean Sharp, Thank you Amy. Talk to you next, Raike
