    Episode overview

    Bring a little flair and style of Italy into your own home through the many ideas offered in today's show. We start with a visit to the San Diego home of Robert Yates where Christopher began a dining room makeover last year. Mr. Yates takes us through the now completed room, filled with colorful marionettes and other inspirations from a music box he found in Venice, Italy. Back in Christopher's house, Leslie Erganian of Specialty Prop Design of Los Angeles demonstrates how to create an Italian design wall treatment with a pencil and some paint. Next up is a history lesson from ceramist Karen Koblitz about Italy's famed and intricately patterned Majolica ceramic ware. Then Rosemary Watson, artist/representative for Liquitex ""Glossies"" Paint, shows how to emulate the Majolica look on your own inexepensive dishes. A ""You Did It!"" segment takes us to Northwestern University where sophomore Ryan Du Val spent six days painting a rendition of the Sistine Chapel on his dorm ceiling. In the kit
