Plot Synopsis

RED HOT DESIGN is a one-hour reality series that follows interior designer Shasta Smith and the crew at her Sacramento-based design shop, Vintage Monkey, as they salvage, build and repurpose vintage scrap metal into architectural elements. Traveling throughout scrapyards for inspiration and materials, the Vintage Monkey team goes above and beyond creating works of art straight out of the vintage industrial era. For a theater's neglected outdoor space, the team collected thousands of bullet casings from a shooting range and hand strung them to form a unique stage curtain. Plus, the team has transformed steel mesh and a water pipe into floor lamps, barbed wire into beautiful wreathes, and motorcycle gears into table frames. From sketch to showroom, Shasta enlists the help of her team: sculptor Thomas Ramey; expert metal fabricator Alex English; specialized welder Tony Bures; and brainiac Jason Chernowetz. Originally scheduled to debut on Fridays at 10pm ET/PT starting August 15, 2014, FYI Network moved RED HOT DESIGN to Mondays at 10pm ET/PT before it premiered on Monday, August 11, 2014.
