Extreme Downsizing
Original Air Date: October 21 2010
Nate takes a close look at extreme downsizing and shares how you can live a life with less stuff, but more purpose. Nina and Russell, a married couple with six children, share their story of having to downsize due to the economy and move into a space half the size of what they were accustomed to. Meg Fairfax Fielding, “The Junk Whisperer,” sets up a tag sale on Nate’s stage and demonstrates how this is an effective way to cash in! Follow Nate as he shops at a Brooklyn flea market – tips on how to spot the best finds. And, have you ever been surprised to hear someone’s story and amazed at the life they’ve led? Meet 98-year-old Editta Sherman, the Duchess of Carnegie Hall. Editta lived above Carnegie Hall for more than 60 years and photographed some of the most famous names in show business, including Elvis Presley, Cary Grant and Marlon Brando – all in her home studio. And Elizabeth Ehrlich shares how the simple act of spending time in the kitchen cooking with her mother-in-law inspired her book “Miriam’s Kitchen.” Plus, three décor ideas that you can “hang-up” in your home: pendant lights, hang a chair from the ceiling and four poster bed.
