Home with Dean Sharp

Home with Dean Sharp Hour 1 (08/08) - Good design makes all the difference, and your home deserves it. 

Today’s first caller’s redbrick fireplace is 50 years old and is falling to pieces. Should she get rid of it entirely and drywall it over, or paint it the same color as the walls? 

Is your stucco looking freckled? Our next caller’s exterior is peeling, puckering and puffing and needs to know Dean’s best quick fix.

Home with Dean Sharp Hour 2 (08/08) - At the top of the second hour, our first caller’s wife bought inexpensive bathroom fixtures like faucets from Amazon, and after several years they have calcium and mineral deposits building up on them. What is the best way to clean these items? 

Our next caller is repainting her window sills, and needs to know if it’s better to use oil-based paint or a latex paint? 

Dean’s final caller had a bad, noncompliant repair job done to his cantilevered balcony and is wondering how best to redress that bad repair job.

As we embark on the journey of designing our dream homes, it's easy to get caught up in the specifics of what we want – the marble countertops, the big kitchen island, the luxurious tub. But what if we're focusing on the wrong things? What if our dream home is not just about the physical space, but about the emotions and experiences we want to have within it?

In this episode of Home with Dean Sharp, the speaker delves into the importance of creating a wish list that's truly yours. By asking the right questions and exploring the emotional roots of what we want, we can uncover the real essence of our dream home. From discussing the role of tubs in modern homes to exploring the power of being seen and heard, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to create a space that truly reflects their personality and needs.

The speaker shares a valuable tool, the First Listen intake worksheet, which helps clients identify their emotional desires and priorities. By using this worksheet, we can move beyond the surface-level wants and get to the heart of what truly matters. We also explore the idea that big dreams don't always require big budgets, and that sometimes it's the smallest details that can make the biggest impact.
