Ep 7. Design on a Dime and Mannequin Crimes

Carson and Thom are back in action with the new episode, 'Design on a Dime and Mannequin Crimes' of their reality show, Get a Room with Carson & Thom. The episode is set to showcase the duo's interior design skills as they tackle two major design challenges.

As the episode starts, we see a couple from Brooklyn, Tyler and Alex, who are struggling to make their space feel like home. They have a limited budget but are looking to transform their small 1-bedroom apartment into a cozy and stylish living space. Carson and Thom come to the rescue, armed with their design expertise and creativity to help the couple get the look they want without breaking the bank.

The first challenge "Design on a Dime" is a tough one as the duo has to work with a limited budget of only $1000. Carson and Thom brainstorm some creative design solutions to transform the space on a budget. They encourage the couple to buy some second-hand furniture and thrift store finds, use some DIY tricks, and repurpose their existing items for a new look. Carson and Thom focus on brightening up the rooms, adding some artwork, and bring in some greenery to add life and freshness to space. They aim to create a perfect balance between style and functionality, making the apartment feel like home for the couple. However, the challenge proves more difficult when they realize a few snags along the way. Can the interior designers come through for the couple despite these obstacles?

In the second design challenge, "Mannequin Crimes," Carson and Thom assist the fashion giant, Vince Camuto, in designing the perfect showroom for their Fall fashion collection. As the world-class brand is hosting a launch event in their new showroom, it is crucial for the design to be trendy, elegant, and glamorous. Carson and Thom take on the task and set out to create an immersive and visually stunning retail space for the upcoming fashion event. They combine high-end fixtures and furniture with bold colors, unique textures, and metallic accents to make the space stand out. As they work, the duo discovers that three of the mannequins in the showroom were damaged. After deliberating with the Vince Camuto team, Carson and Thom decide to give the mannequins a facelift and create a custom design that aligns with the new showroom look.

However, the task is not without its challenges, and a testy Thom confronts Carson about his communication style. Despite their differences, the pair is determined to deliver an outstanding showroom design within the given timeframe. They put their best foot forward and work tirelessly through the night to add the final touches to the showroom. On the day of the launch, the Vince Camuto team is thrilled with the transformation and praised Carson and Thom for their brilliant contribution. With this, Carson and Thom successfully complete their second challenge.

Overall, the new episode of Get a Room with Carson & Thom has a lot to offer to the viewers. From the challenges to the design solutions, and the camaraderie between the two designers, the episode delivers an exciting and engaging viewing experience. It is truly a must-watch for anyone looking for design inspiration and creativity on a budget!
