00:00Hey, this is Brian and Mika Kleinschmidt
00:01from 100 Day Hotel Challenge.
00:04Join us for ditch or design?
00:07Hmm.
00:09All white, neutral, everything.
00:12Oh, man.
00:13Heartbeat Queen.
00:14I'm sorry.
00:15I know that this is going to be bad,
00:17because when we designed our house, this was the vibe.
00:19But I'm going to have to go with ditch.
00:21I'm going to have to ditch, too.
00:23And you're right, our house does look a lot like that.
00:25So I guess we're going to be remodeling our house now.
00:29Oh!
00:30That's a ditch.
00:31That's our first ditch.
00:32Succulents, greenery, as living room decor.
00:36Design.
00:36OK, see, I like it.
00:38I say design.
00:39But for me personally, I don't keep things alive.
00:43So as long as that includes faux succulents and faux plants.
00:46She does not have a green thumb.
00:48It's brown.
00:48It definitely is brown.
00:49And so are the plants that I try to keep alive.
00:52No, that was design.
00:54We're going to keep that.
00:55That's a keep.
00:55That's a design.
00:56Ditch or design?
00:57Painting cabinets, when is it OK?
01:00I do think that.
01:01So painting cabinets is OK, just not this color.
01:04We actually painted.
01:06I'm going to design the paint, but I'm
01:08going to ditch this color.
01:09OK, but no.
01:09But the actual application of painting cabinets,
01:12absolutely, yes.
01:13Like half and half?
01:14So we're going to design with the idea, ditch the color.
01:17All right, there we go.
01:18Word signs.
01:19If we're talking about the interior of the house,
01:21I don't need words everywhere.
01:23I like to read books, not directions
01:26where my rooms are.
01:27You don't need to know the kitchen is the kitchen.
01:30Eat, pray, love.
01:32You should do all those things anyway.
01:33Exactly.
01:34You don't need to be reminded.
01:35So ditch.
01:36Yes.
01:37Open concept home.
01:39Yikes, this one's hard.
01:40I think I still say yes, but I do
01:44think you can create and define spaces creatively.
01:48But I still kind of like an open space
01:50without a lot of walls.
01:51OK, design, here we go.
01:53Instagram design.
01:54Seeing a pic on Pinterest or Instagram
01:55and trying to recreate it in your own home.
01:58Yeah, I mean, there's nothing wrong with stealing something,
02:01like stealing a good idea.
02:03We steal ideas all the time.
02:04I still go to YouTube sometimes and figure out
02:07some of my construction projects.
02:09All right, so that's a key.
02:10There's your honesty right there.
02:11Minimalism versus maximalism.
02:15Are they both out or are they both in?
02:17I'm going to go with a less is more kind of approach.
02:19I think minimalist, because then everything
02:22is intentional.
02:23It looks clean.
02:24It's not cluttered.
02:25It doesn't feel overwhelming.
02:27You know, you take your minimalism to the max.
02:30Ah, there you go.
02:31And that's a design.
02:32So we're going to fold that in half.
02:33That's how you do it.
02:34And keep them in and get rid of the max.
02:37Would you ditch or design me?
02:39Design, meaning that I can maybe pick out
02:42some wardrobe options for you.
02:43But you, as a person, I'll keep.
02:46Don't throw me at the camera.
02:47No, I won't.
