“My number one tip to people is just to look for galleries around you, look for art shows around you, look for boutiques around you. Try and find the artist. If you fall in love with art, DM them. Talk to them. Find out the story because that’s what makes art so fantastic is the story behind it. You relate to it with your own story.” 9:39

Purchasing an Existing Home | How to right the wrongs of past owners

We see a lot of homes in all the work we do and in some of the remodels there are some things that you’re just inheriting. When you purchase a home like this, you have to get really good at planning because it’s not inexpensive to redo the various things you want changed, but there’s a lot of architecture and a lot of things you wouldn’t do today, but they did yesterday. So now it’s your turn to make it right and we think the majority of people are likely in this position who are listening to our podcast right now, so listen in as we give our opinions and expertise on what you should do when you inherit architecture.

“What do you do when you have custom built-ins in the home you purchased and you don’t have the budget to rip it out and rebuild it? How to repurpose, optimize, camouflage, style, paint? Here’s my dilemma, a built in structure between two pillars that separate the kitchen and family room.” 11:16

Keep or Toss? | Current Trends We Do or Do Not Agree with

We have a fun episode today, which is about finding something and saying if we would keep it or toss it. It might be polarizing and we as your hosts might feel opposite or the same about certain things, but that’s what will help make it fun. Join us as we talk about various items that should be kept or tossed, such as travertine, china hutch, or grasscloth wallpaper.

China hutch 14:35
Travertine 20:00
Grasscloth/wallpaper 22:00

“I think [travertine] is beautiful in spaces. I do think a modern beach house with travertine, just things that feel really earthy and water could run over them, is so pretty. For myself, I’m not gonna buy any travertine, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s beautiful for myself or another client. If it was in somebody’s home right now, would I have them rip it out? I think it would depend on the style and the tone we’re gonna move into.”  20:45

“[An echo chamber design] is something that you’ll find on Pinterest and Instagram, and then you’ll just keep seeing it and keep seeing it, and it feeds the design. I don’t wanna call out a design genre, but I will: Farmhouse. The white and the black windows, and the straw basket, and the whole thing, there is great farmhouse design, but the kind we wanna see is a real farmhouse.” 30:35

Always In and Never Out | How to Create Timeless Interiors

One of the biggest questions we always get before we start any project is ‘What is always in and never out?’ We wanted to record a podcast sort of talking about those things, whether you’re living in a historical home, an older home, a 20-30 year old home, or a brand new build. What are some of the classic principles we are gonna talk about today that you aren’t going to regret in the future? That’s the ultimate question we wanted to dive into today and answer for you guys. 
Buying a home that has existed before 6:40
Thinking about the timelessness of Ralph Lauren 9:15
Painting an old antique piece 21:30
Real materials have staying power 27:10
The white kitchen 28:00
Windows 31:00
Anything that has meaning 33:35
Scale 40:45
Beautiful finish work 44:00
Mohair 45:00
“I think the one thing that we obsess over is scale. We always want to make sure to keep that Ralph Lauren Bee buzzing around in our head while we’re making stuff, and that small never equals greatness generally. Usually if you scale something really well, it’s gonna look generous, it’s gonna be gorgeous, it’s gonna feel estate quality.” “It’s gonna make a small space feel grander.” 12:18
