Designing for the Sexes "Family Room Dungeon" Part 1

Frank and Andrea Epinger are at a complete standstill in transforming what they refer to as "the dungeon" into a comfortable family room everyone can enjoy, including their two dogs Cloey and Baxter. Host Michael Payne arrives to discuss their decorating hurdles: sectional sofa vs. traditional sleeper sofa, hardwood floor vs. stone tile, a sturdy wood coffee table vs. glass. When finished, the room previously is now an elegant but comfortable retreat for every family member and the occasional overnight guest.

My wife and I used to watch this show religiously when it was on in the early 2000's. We always thought Michael Payne was a great designer and would certainly use him if we lived near him in California.

We always enjoyed these shows but Michael seemed a little light on his feet. He always would skip a dee do dah up the front stairs.
