ColorSplash with David Bromsatad

Eileen: David just called, finally to say that the room was ready. I hope somebody
is home.

David: Hello are you ready to see.

Linda: Yes, yes.

I don’t know what to expect but its’ going to be a complete surprise.

David: Take a look at your new kitchen.

Eileen: Oh my god! This is so beautiful.

Linda: Oh my god! David. This is amazing.

Eileen: It’s amazing you know everyone says that, amazing, incredible,
unbelievable but its that and beyond.

I absolutely love my kitchen.

David: Now the cork flooring looks amazing. It’s so different from that isn’t it.

Eileen: Yes.

Linda: It’s kind of cushy.

David: It’s very cushy and you know what you can spill a lot of crumbs on there
now and it’s not going to show.

Eileen: Good for parties.

David: Exactly and look at your beautiful recycled glass countertops. Are they
stunning, they’re beautiful, they’re relaxing. I love the reaction it’s great.
It’s fantastic.

Eileen: I am so pleased that he was willing to work with a sustainable products
and he really took it to heart and it makes me really proud that we used a
product that you know it is more expensive but it’s really important that
people use it.

David: We replaced your cabinets.

Eileen: Yeah.

David: Do you recognize the material?

Eileen: It’s plywood bamboo.

Linda: Wow.

David: It is. Bamboo plywood and it’s all renewable, it’s reusable, it’s
sustainable.

Eileen: The desk this is all new.

David: This is all new. When you have cabinets up here I just feel like there
should be a countertop underneath. Now you guys have a place to sit.

Eileen: Oh brilliant David, brilliant. Did you paint all this?

David: I did, I painted all this.

Eileen: Oh my god I love it.

David: And I actually did this, this is my artwork to you guys. I cut all this out of
bamboo and put a wax finish over everything and this is my artwork to
you guys.

Eileen: Oh thank you.

David: You know you guys had a great light up here it just needs a little TLC.
Yeah it did. A little something different.

Linda: That is fabulous.

David: And by putting rice paper over it with a little bamboo trimming softens it
up. Look at what we did with your lights.

Eileen: Oh.

David: We had this amazing box over it and we put some— yeah it’s fantastic.

Eileen: So contemporary.

Linda: It does.

David: And the paint that we used low-VOC. Of course we’re not going to just
skip out on something.

Linda: That’s right, that’s right.

David: A little birdie told me that it’s Linda’s Birthday so of course we have to
celebrate it.

Crew: Happy Birthday!

Linda: I have no idea how they found out but it was such a lovely surprise. The
best birthday present ever.

Eileen: For me too and it’s not my birthday.

It’s been wonderful, I would do it again maybe in a month.

Linda: Thank you so much. Part of their spirit is going to be in that kitchen with
us.

Eileen: We can’t bring back anything that we took out in here.

I will remember it till the day I die.

I love this kitchen.
