SEX, LIES AND FURNITURE!!! (and money!) This week we are back in action with a rip roaring good time of a show that digs deep and lays bare the florid bones of the furniture world!
Stop One:
Evan Cole - ADD addled impresario of ABC Carpet - leaves wife and daughter of ABC family, Paulette Cole, and shacks up with Rachel Ashwell, founder of Shabby Chic, out in LA. Second Act! HD Buttercup opens four months ago with his signature style: 100,000 square feet of manufacturer direct home furnishings! Just like ABC!
Stop Two:
Modern Furniture is suddenly valuable! Criminals sneak in with reproductions! With the breaking of the $1m barrier at a modern auction last week, all gloves are off in the 20th Century Post War Furniture world!
Stop Three:
Super Charged Nannies are Running Our Homes! Dept. of Upchuck. Hey, all you over-achievers, why try to get home to take care of your own kids and your own house when you can hire someone to run it all for you? For only $75,000 a year you can't afford not to.
