You better get in and buckle up, because I'm driving. Oh, I'm here and you're driving. I'm driving, let's go Daddy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's do it. It's time for another episode of who's Driving, and evidently it's Stephen. Yes, Welcome to who's Driving. I'm Wesley Turner.
Speaker 1:And I'm Stephen Merck. We're two best friends and entrepreneurs.
Speaker 2:Who's Driving is an entertaining look into the behind the scenes of our lives, friendship and business.
Speaker 1:The stories we share and topics we discuss, as two best friends would on a long road trip.
Speaker 2:Along the way, we'll check in with friends and offer a wide range of informative topics centered around running small businesses, social media and all things home and garden.
Speaker 1:Buckle up and enjoy the ride. You never know who's driving, or?
Speaker 2:where we're headed. All we know is it's always a fun ride. On this week's episode, we are picking up part two of our market adventure, I guess you could say, and we're going to be sharing with you some of the trends we saw in home decor, our everyday trends. So our previous episode we talked about holiday trends, and we're going to keep it going and tell you what we saw for everyday trends home decor, yes. So before we get there, though, I have something for you that we need to. I think we should discuss this right out of the gate. So, when we were at market this pertains to market, and also something else when we were at market, I gave you the microphone, if you follow me on Farmshine, and again, stephen had the microphone, and he was just within that microphone out and interviewing people and making a fool of us and everybody and harassing people and it was fun and they loved it.
Speaker 2:But while there and you were doing that, my DMs were full of people asking or stating the fact how, when they first started watching, you were so shy and you wouldn't show yourself on the camera and that sort of thing. So the other day I put up a box on Instagram saying anything you would like for us to discuss on the podcast or topics, and someone said I would like the discussion of the transformation of Stephen. How did he gain such confidence? So here is the thing, and I feel like we touched on this before.
Speaker 2:I feel like we've touched on this before, but we've never. I guess maybe we didn't discuss it all the way, but for those of you, the OGs, who've been here, since when did you get introduced? In 2020? It was our road trip.
Speaker 1:Road trip. Yes, in March of 2020, you started recording my singing.
Speaker 2:Okay, so let's back it up. I got on Instagram in like 2000 when we moved 16, 17. And I got on Instagram to show we were moving to a farm. I really got on there just to document because our farm needed hella work and cream that new and Instagram what hadn't taken off.
Speaker 2:And I got on there just because, oh, it's a place to post pictures. I can document for us, more than anything, our house being transformed because we were doing all the work ourselves and it grew into, you know, this whole unexpected thing. Prior to 2020, you were always around, just like you are today, and then so it wasn't like you just popped up, but like before, when stories started, because stories didn't come along until I don't know, maybe 18.
Speaker 2:I don't remember when stories started because for a while, there was no such thing as stories on Instagram, and so when stories started, I would do stories and Stephen would be right beside me. He'd be like oh God. And I was like, no, I got to do this. I feel like it's going to benefit the business. I feel like this is going to be a thing, and Stephen and Daniel both would be like you are wearing us out with this Instagram thing, like why do you got to stop and do a story now?
Speaker 1:It was a lot when we were not used to that.
Speaker 2:So they became used to it. Now they're like you were right. They embraced it and make money off of it. They have a nice little career going, so Stephen was always around. It's easy not to show people in stories. It's easy, it's just a camera. I mean you would be standing like five feet from me waiting on me to finish the story Sometimes closer than that.
Speaker 1:And then when you were walking, I would be right beside you, but it was the way you held the camera.
Speaker 2:Right. You can cut out all kinds of things and even like at our house, like we have employees, farm employees here and stuff, and like you don't see the whole, it's easy to like not show and cut out things. Anyway, so in 2020, stephen and I took a road trip and he always sings in the car Always.
Speaker 1:That's nothing new. That wasn't a.
Speaker 2:I just randomly did a story recording you making faces at you singing. It had nothing to do with not showing you, I was just like it was just being a funny. It was being a funny, I was like rolling my eyes. You were over there belting it out, like you always do, which is what you do.
Speaker 1:It was real. You do roll your eyes.
Speaker 2:It was all genuine.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Most time I'm in the car. I'm like will you shut up, please stop singing, but.
Speaker 1:I don't even. Here's the thing. Most of the time I don't even realize I'm singing Right, it's just like.
Speaker 2:It just it comes out. I mean, especially when you put a microphone in front of your face, it just rolls around.
Speaker 1:I was on the phone with a friend of mine earlier today and I didn't realize my phone was laying on the bathroom counter and I'd walked into my closet and I was singing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just singing, she was like what did you say?
Speaker 1:I was like I wasn't talking to you.
Speaker 2:I was just singing, that's too funny. So in 2020, when I posted that, which was a genuine moment we were on a road trip. You were singing, I was being funny, rolling my eyes at you, and instantly, everyone wanted to know who it is. Who is that? Because I didn't show you in that clip. So as soon as I mean, it was like on fire. Who is that? Who's singing, who are you with, sort of thing, uh-huh. So instantly we were like let's keep this going, let's not show you Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:Let's make it a thing.
Speaker 2:Let's make it a thing. So for the whole rest of the road trip you were singing and we never showed your face or talking or whatever, and it was genuinely funny and people loved it and still love it. They still asked me why didn't he sing anymore, which you do, I just don't. I need to show more of you singing, but now that they know who it is, I'm like did they want to see you singing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm damn good. I mean, they know this shit's good. They want me to sing.
Speaker 2:So we kept that going for two years. Two solid years. Anytime we were together, market working together, we even did live sales and you would be in the background and in the chat, but we didn't show your face.
Speaker 1:It became a marketing ploy people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so really it just became a marketing thing, because the more we didn't show who he was, the more everyone responded and wanted to know, who you were. Yeah, Then it became we can't. Stephen was having to crawl on the floor.
Speaker 1:It was very. It got to be very aggravating.
Speaker 2:but and exhausting.
Speaker 1:Yeah so, but the funny thing is is what it was never. It was never. Stephen doesn't want to show his face.
Speaker 2:Or that you didn't have the confidence, or I was shy. No, I'm not a shy person, no, the person you see now on Instagram with the microphone and saying anything, acting like a fool. That's the person, stephen. That's the person. I've known Stephen as Forever.
Speaker 1:Forever, that is who you are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the funny thing. Yeah. But it's so funny that everyone thinks you've On Instagram they've blossomed and come out of your shell, and now you'll show your face. And now you don't mind being the center of attention. Or whatever, and you've always been like that.
Speaker 1:Always. And actually so there has been no traits for me, Actually when we met, like 15 years ago, when we met, actually you were shy.
Speaker 2:Yes, I was much more in my.
Speaker 1:Like Wesley was, I would have never done this podcast 15 years ago. No, I mean Ever, if I. The one big thing I've done for you as a friend is pulled you out of your shell. He was so shy y'all when we would go to market. This is 15 years ago, because I went with you to market before I owned anything.
Speaker 2:And helped you buy as a friend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and helped you buy, I enjoyed it and it was my outlet and shocked, but if there were a celebrity there or something, wesley wouldn't go up and talk to him. He would say go talk to him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, but I would. Things I do now, which I think is also growing and maturing and being confident in your stuff. Yeah, but the things that I would do now in front of people like at market, I will just say stuff.
Speaker 1:You would never have done this.
Speaker 2:I'll walk on the elevator and say something funny when the door closes. I would have never done that.
Speaker 1:You did Never, I hope yeah.
Speaker 2:Or whatever. But now I like that because I feed off the attention Like that. I feed off of, like you know, if I want something funny.
Speaker 1:It's fun making people laugh.
Speaker 2:Yes it is. It is genuinely fun making people laugh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why I do it. I really don't like being my personality, I don't like being the center of attention, but what I do like is making people laugh.
Speaker 2:And then you laugh and you have the most contagious.
Speaker 1:I like to have fun and laugh, so it's really never been about being the center of attention. I just like to break the ice and, for whatever reason, god gave me a gift I can say things to people that other people can't say.
Speaker 2:Yes, Things that should offend people. You can say it in a way and they can laugh.
Speaker 1:Even when I own McDonald's, I could be in my drive-thru. I mean, you would always see me in a drive-thru in one of my restaurants every day. I was in a drive-thru five days a week because I could see more customers there than anywhere and it was fun and I would snap my fingers at people because these women would dig in their purses for days and I would smack on the door.
Speaker 1:I would say honey, if you don't hurry up, I'm going to charge you rent, and that would most people if they said that they would be offended, but they would just die laughing. That always blew my employees' minds. They were like you can say anything to these people and I could. I don't know.
Speaker 2:You do have a way with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You do. That is a gift.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's one out of a hundred people will take me the wrong way, and they're just.
Speaker 2:And then you usually just go with it and you're like you need to pull out a personality, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, they have a serious personality flaw if they can't laugh. Yeah, it's true, yeah, so yeah, this is me.
Speaker 2:But I thought that was so funny just the perception and everything because we did hide you in, thinking that you were too shy to be on camera or that sort of thing. And really the person you see now in my stories Acting crazy at market, that's who you've always been.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean In the person that has changed is actually Wesley. Yes, that's the funny. It's kind of I think you Chained.
Speaker 2:You helped me change that way just by being around you or whatever.
Speaker 1:And then Instagram really took it to a whole new.
Speaker 2:Look at to a whole new level when Instagram stories I would. I can remember I really started doing stories one year whenever Instagram came out with them. It was at market and I can remember feeling so weird and awkward like walking from the hotel To market doing a story on my phone that I was like you got to do this, like you got to keep up and now it's just second nature. But Instagram brought that out In me and then and you helped it along because you know I've been around you enough but it that's. That's the story of Stephen. He's not any different. He has not blossom.
Speaker 1:No, he has not Transformed. He has the same lunatic.
Speaker 2:He has not found his confidence.
Speaker 1:No, no, I've been confident for a long time.
Speaker 2:Another thing, moving on from that in my box Surely herb is Was listening to our podcast, or listen to it. She says you have the most amazing podcast. So thank you, shirley. Thank you, shirley and all of you. I get kind messages.
Speaker 1:We do, we do get so many messages and actually got a message the other day and From a, an old friend that has always done my wallpaper hanging, and you know her she did your wallpaper.
Speaker 2:She's just awesome.
Speaker 1:So big shout out to miss Denise, miss wallpaper hanger, and she texts me out of the blue and was like I did not know that y'all have a podcast and I'm like well, why didn't you know? We're like we're big time, yeah, and she's like well, a client.
Speaker 2:We're big, we're big, we're big time. You know what? Fake it until you make it hey.
Speaker 1:For my entire life. Make it till you make it. And I was like, well, who's your client? She said, oh, no one. You know, they're just huge fans from listening to the podcast. So that made me so happy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know if I would listen to us.
Speaker 2:I would listen to us.
Speaker 1:I don't listen to anybody.
Speaker 2:But you know what, sometimes, because I do the editing for the podcast, which we don't really edit, the podcast- All I do is we sneeze or cough. Yes, sneeze or cough, or I have to put in the music at the beginning, right, right. You know like that's when I say I'm editing it. Very rarely Do we have to take anything. I mean it's significance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, take a lot of times. We don't do any.
Speaker 2:It's usually a cough, or we hit the desk and it makes a weird noise on the right on the microphone. But what the hell are we talking about? I forgot.
Speaker 1:This is the life of an ADD person.
Speaker 2:Yes, it is no, I was saying so, I edited it. So I listened back to the podcast because I have to listen through to make sure there isn't anything. And sometimes I'm laughing at us and I'm like, okay, if I laugh at us, then I can see what.
Speaker 1:And I've told this on the podcast, but I'll tell it again. And there's. There's a reason for my madness I have never Listened to a podcast and people that blows people's mind that we have a podcast and I've never listened to. I've listened to our podcast, right, but I've never listened to someone else's podcast, right, and there's a reason like now I do not.
Speaker 2:I will not listen because you said you don't want to be influenced.
Speaker 1:No, I want to be authentic and I'm afraid if I listen to other Podcast, I don't want it to influence how I do it. Yeah, and I want to keep it so authentic in me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you good bad ugly, do that.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm just saying, I mean, I feel like if you listen to too many, you might subconsciously Emulate. I don't know, I just, I'm just, I'm just happy, I feel like, and you didn't really listen to a lot of podcast either.
Speaker 2:No, I had not, but I think it made us.
Speaker 1:I think it made us do a better job of being very authentic, right? So I've got one thing to talk about okay, what's that?
Speaker 2:and?
Speaker 1:And maybe maybe I'm the only person out there, but do you have you noticed that like parking spots when you go to restaurants, or Really any damn where Walmart target fast food, right?
Speaker 2:I know what you're gonna say, and hell yes, I've noticed, they're all taking.
Speaker 1:There are all something they're all.
Speaker 2:There's a sign in front of every damn part for app for app customers app customer, pregnant mother, kid, police officer, veteran, I mean, which are all amazing things? They're all amazing and they desert.
Speaker 1:Like I mean, listen, mothers with children, I mean you should be they, you should have a parking space in front of the door. But everybody can't have a parking space in front of the door.
Speaker 2:I know, oh, especially when it's raining. Okay, here's what really drives me crazy about the designated these spaces. It's not, has nothing to do with whatever Category it fits in, all the way across the board, and we're not talking about handicap parking.
Speaker 1:No, that's a whole different category. We're not talking about. We don't have a problem with that and we're not. We don't have anything against pregnant women, we know, or any of it.
Speaker 2:But anybody but other than Handicap parking, all the other ones, you know, there's all of these stipulations, but what drives me crazy is I go and there's no one in them, and they've assigned the best 20 parking spots to these different categories and I just made a part there for three minutes, right, the one that drives me, I guess, the most crazy is the curbside parking.
Speaker 2:Okay, your customers are coming and parking in curbside so they do not need the prime parking spot. You could put them on the side of the building for your employees to come around, or those can be in the you know the aisle that's not directly in front of the door. It could be like two aisles over Because they're pulling up and your employees know hey, I got to take this out to this car.
Speaker 2:Like it's not like they're wandering around the parking lot trying to find them. So by having them walk one more aisle over so that your other people who are coming into your store can have good parking spots.
Speaker 1:Well, if they're gonna have all these parking spaces, I need a parking space further down the parking lot, extra wide for OCD gay man.
Speaker 2:You need a double parking spot.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, so my cars don't get dinged.
Speaker 2:Yeah, put it at the end of the end of the row. You're fine with that. See, I'm the person and it drives Daniel crazy. But I've gotten this from my mother is I'll drive around five times to get a parking spot closer. Yeah, I will drive in circle and drive in circle, I'm gonna get a good parking spot. And I'm also the person for your curbside Parking. When I got like the other day I went to Vest by I needed something. I can't remember what. It was a cord or something. It was raining.
Speaker 2:They literally have Where's eight, ten, at least twelve parking spots front and center for curbside pickup. Not one of them was full. Like best buy, you are never gonna have 12 people picking up at the exact same time. No, to bring out. Why do you have, like this, mini parking spots? I was front and center, I'm picking up. I am here to pick up, but I'm walking my ass inside to get it. I'm like you know I'm not taking away anything, for I mean, you know those people don't care or whatever, but I'm like, why would you ever need that mini Curbside pickup? Like, you're not gonna have that many at one time parked there picking up, so it just drives me crazy.
Speaker 1:This tags on. I haven't even told you this. It's a still very raw, sensitive issue. So my little car, my little Mercedes. Oh yeah, so my favorite car of all time? Oh, did it. Bobby Ewing's red Mercedes from the show Dallas and on my all-time favorite car. So Mercedes made that the last car was in 2020 with the hardtop convertible, and I, you had to get you one.
Speaker 1:I got me one, ah, and I take care of that car like a baby. It has three thousand miles on it cuz he doesn't drive it. It's beautiful, it's pristine, it's like brand new. Still has plastic on it Parts.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:I, I mean, I'm just almost upset.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm sure you haven't even told me.
Speaker 1:And I don't have a garage because I live in a downtown building and that's my only issue in life and this, listen, this is not. This is not the end of the world, but it really hurts.
Speaker 2:Did someone touch your window?
Speaker 1:No worse. It looks like you know I live downtown and, like any city, there's some not nice neighborhoods Like you can get being a really nice neighborhood and you're butted up to a not so nice neighborhood and sometimes there's gunshots. It looks to me like a bullet hit my car what?
Speaker 2:Are you sure it's not like a rock or something? Did it penetrate it, or?
Speaker 1:did it, just it didn't. It was a curve of the trunk lid and I guess there's fiberglass on that curve creature.
Speaker 2:So it just not a chunk Like literally I've got to Do you want me to bring some Bondo over later today?
Speaker 1:No. I can doctor that right now I am so upset, I know because you know.
Speaker 2:Here's the truth. Here's the truth. You'll have to sell the car now.
Speaker 1:No, it will never be the same. Don't say that you try to act like that and no, I was already like so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go and I'm going to get the car. I was thinking through it. I was like, okay, here's the fortunate part, it was on the trunk lid.
Speaker 2:So I'm going to have the have that taken off Damage goods now get it painted or get a new trunk.
Speaker 1:A new trunk Well, I can't get a new trunk lid because of the electric top.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:But it'll just have to be fit.
Speaker 2:If anyone would like to buy a 2020 Mercedes, it will be for sale 450 black.
Speaker 1:Black with red interior.
Speaker 2:It will be for sale. You can text our hotline number 864 9825 029. Is damaged goods because it has a nick in it about the size of a pencil.
Speaker 1:No, a Dom, Okay, a Dom. You know I'm like is that the damnedest thing? I cover that car, I park it away from everybody. I you know I never let Dylan drive it to work.
Speaker 2:Okay, but where you park it I don't. I think you're over exaggerating with the bullet. I think it's got to be a rock or something. There's nobody down where you park it.
Speaker 1:There's nothing down there, oh, but the street over is where you'll hear gunshots.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But that's Greenville County, so they can shoot guns.
Speaker 2:It's not like they're shooting up each other. We don't have a lot of no, no, no, no, no, I'm not saying that we don't have gangster crime going on behind your house.
Speaker 1:You're making it sound like no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't mean that I think they legitimately, because there's woods and whatnot. I think it's Greenville City stops on that line and it's Greenville County. So you can shoot a gun and no, no, no, nobody's shooting up. We're not having like drug deals gone, bad, no Drop buys or anything you made it sound.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm from Memphis, so that's the no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1:I think it would have been a legit freak thing yeah, okay, maybe so, and that could happen.
Speaker 2:But you said you lived next to a neighborhood and I'm like it ain't that kind of neighborhood, no, no no, no, but it does turn to Greenville County, so things are different.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it literally, but the property butts up to Greenville County, so you can do different things you can't do in the city and people always are talking about oh, I heard this. I'm like, well, they're not like shooting up each other. No, for God's sakes, I mean, you would see that on the news and I'm not fearful.
Speaker 2:Well, he says that he will not sell it, but he'll wait like six months With his, with your last, what do you have? Brain trover? Yeah. Yeah, so he had a newer one, whatever.
Speaker 1:It was brand new, had 500 miles on it.
Speaker 2:He hit a deer. Just a little casualty a little. He hit a little deer. Just $6,000 worth of damage. Just a little fend or something.
Speaker 1:Nothing crazy Right.
Speaker 2:But as soon as he did it, I said, well, you might as well get it fixed and sell it, because you'll never be happy with it again. They're going to fix it. It's like, well, you got it fixed. Oh, it's like, no, it looks great Few months later. I can't live with this. No that is, it's got a little. It rattles now.
Speaker 1:I kept it three years.
Speaker 2:It's got this.
Speaker 1:I was like three years.
Speaker 2:Three agonizing years because you were not happy with it. It is it does kind of ruin it. You're an only child I am. I was someone played with your toy and now they're damaged goods and you don't want it anymore and that's the way you work.
Speaker 1:A little bit like that, but I can't get rid of the Mercedes. Yeah, a little bit like that. I am a little bit like that, but the the. Here's the thing. The Range Rover would look good, but the last straw was there was a screw that held the radiator on and it was bent in the accident and we didn't know. So then it started leaking and a freeze in the and we got it. I got it fixed.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I'm like, oh, my Lord, is it?
Speaker 2:What's next?
Speaker 1:What's next?
Speaker 2:Yada, yada yada I had to repair something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the warranty was up. I was like literally getting the car service and I walked in and they had one Range Rover on the floor, brand, you know, 2024. And I was like I'll take that.
Speaker 2:I kind of like that. Yeah, that's how you work, but it does. You have to admit it does play into some of that. Only kid, only child. It does. Don't play with my toys. Yeah, that's mine, but I actually let Dylan draw on them. Well, that's, that's a major feat.
Speaker 1:It is For a guy if he ever dings one or Right you know what. I'm glad if my car was going to get dinged. I'm glad it happened the way it did, because I can't be mad at myself and I can't be mad at him. But if I knew who did it I would probably shoot him.
Speaker 2:Maybe he took it for a spin while you were gone, or something.
Speaker 1:No, I noticed when it did it immediately.
Speaker 2:He wouldn't do that either. But Dylan, I know you listen. If you ding up a wrecked car, you might as well, just go ahead and leave the country, just pack it up and head on out. Bless his heart. Oh my goodness, it's so funny how you are.
Speaker 1:You know I've came a long way. Yeah, I used to be a lot worried, but when you're, I've brought you out about. You'll call me out when I'm being the only child. Any you know people say it like you can help it. You don't know you're right being any kind of way, but if you grow up and you've never shared anything with anyone, it's hard to. Why yeah? And you're thinking why start now?
Speaker 2:I know the other day I put up a question box on Instagram just saying anything, whatever you know you want to talk about. So someone and this kind of goes back to the towel thing that we're not going to let dive in 2024. How nasty.
Speaker 1:I am.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but this kind of goes along with. This is how many times now you got? Don't? Don't filter yourself.
Speaker 1:I'm not, don't, I don't, I don't ever do that.
Speaker 2:You wear a pair of jeans before throwing them in the wash.
Speaker 1:Oh no, I wear jeans. I don't wash jeans a lot. Then I'm I used to wear, I used to wash, you know, because I'm a clean freak I used to wash everything every time I wore it. And later in life, when I started, by more expensive denim, when I, when I could afford it, I was at Neiman Marcus and I was like asking the lady because at that time I don't even know what they were. They were expensive to me. They were probably $150 or something. Yeah, but that was expensive to me. And I was like what about, are they going to shrink a lot? And she's like honey, you do not wash your denim every time you wear it. And I was like I do. And she's like no, no, no, no, you don't. So I it depends on the jeans in the denim and the color and what you've been doing and what I've been doing.
Speaker 1:If they're dirty, they're dirty, they're going to be washed, because I'm a clean freak. The jeans I have on now I've worn twice, but that's not anything.
Speaker 2:I'll wear jeans. I'll wear jeans probably three times.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it depends on what I've been doing, but if I get really dirty, like at the warehouse dusty, dirty yeah.
Speaker 2:I got to just be more clean and dirty washed, yeah, but you have your more casual that kind of thing. What did you?
Speaker 1:think I was going to lie? Did you think I was going to say, did you think I washed them every time?
Speaker 2:No, I knew you didn't, but I just didn't know. But I feel like you probably, realistically, with some of your good jeans you probably wear them a good like 15 times before you.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah. Yeah, Like if it's dressier if it's dressier denim where I'm just going out to dinner, yeah or yeah absolutely.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you go a long time.
Speaker 1:Now shirts know every time Right, Because you know my pits get to kick in oh gosh.
Speaker 2:I wash shirts and everything every time. The only thing I don't is my jeans. I'll wear them maybe like three times.
Speaker 1:Now, how many times do you wear your underwear before you wash them?
Speaker 2:Only wear them once, and sometimes I don't wear them at all.
Speaker 1:That's gross, I can't imagine that I have to have fresh socks and underwear.
Speaker 2:Socks and underwear are fresh every time. Shirts are fresh every time, unless it's a nicer like you know for me dress shirt like a collar shirt and we just go to dinner or something. Like Daniel and I go to date night on Friday night and if I literally put it on and work for two hours and come back and I immediately change into something at home, then I'll just hang out with you.
Speaker 1:So I just I dry clean like once a year, Unless they're stained or dirty.
Speaker 2:You know, you went somewhere and they smelled smoky or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my sweaters.
Speaker 2:I try to take really good care of them, but I think one thing that we do different with denim maybe not, you can tell me. Well, no, because we're around each other at market, none of this. But like, if I wear a pair of jeans, I might wear the same pair of jeans three days in a row. Like I'll put them back on three days and then wash them Like I don't sweat, like I don't wear a pair, put them back in the closet.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I do, I wear different all the time, but a lot of times at market. You'll be like I got on the same. Well, we've gone to market before and you've worn the same pair of jeans. That whole Probably Market.
Speaker 1:You're like, oh, I'll get in my, but see, I have. Okay, here's one thing about me I have a lot of denim.
Speaker 4:You do.
Speaker 1:And I loved denim and I have a million favorite ones. So I go through phases in like this week will be this favorite pair and that's all I want to wear, and then the next week it'll be that pair and it'll be. You know, that's. Maybe other people are that way, but I'm that way with everything I wear. I'm like, oh, oh, I love this, and then I'll wear it till I'm sick of it, and then I'm like all right, people probably think I only have like Three pieces of clothes, probably because I wear the same.
Speaker 2:but see, I'll wear the same ones, like I said, maybe like two to three days in a row. But I'm more active than you are, like in the warehouse and yeah, cuz I'm showing stuff and gather, you know, I'm bending a lot and so mine get loose and then I'm like, okay, I need to wash it, yeah they do stretch, yeah, but you know and you're not Active.
Speaker 1:No, the other like I'm the one.
Speaker 2:If someone's got a climb up on the ladder, I'm gonna be the one doing it. I'm pretty so. I'm like stretching them out more than.
Speaker 1:I? What was I gonna say?
Speaker 2:Oh, now it's your turn.
Speaker 1:What were you doing moment I did?
Speaker 2:even I meant what were you gonna? What were you gonna say about your gene?
Speaker 1:Oh, I would close in general. But I I Typically if I find something that I like right, um, I mean, I've been this way for a long time, Like if we're in Vegas and I buy an outfit that I, you know, that I think I like right, and then I get home and I'm like ooh, really like this shirt. Yeah, then I'll go on and I'll buy four or five or six of the same shirts in the same color.
Speaker 2:Same color, same shirt. It's not like you're like ooh, I got this in black, oh. I wanted in red green no, no, no no he's gonna have five in black, five Usually, like four in black in one Navy or four, four black, four Navy, four charcoal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I'll buy a lot of whatever because I'm like this is not trendy, this is a staple, this fits really well, it's really good quality and then and then I'll watch sometimes when it goes on sale and then I'll stock, I'll get some more and.
Speaker 2:But I kind of do that, not like that. But I do like find a shirt and then I'll buy a few because I have my you know my black shirt uniform. Now it's just who it is. I don't have to think about what I'm putting on.
Speaker 1:Products look good when I'm showing them up against the black and y'all make comments about what we wear all the time that we Always were black or Navy, that has been a live sale transformation. For Wesley, yeah, but for me, I've always were, always were, black and Navy. Yeah, I used to wear lots of color, you or lots that I'm a cool-toned person, so I can really only wear navy, navy, black charcoal. I don't look good in color. Yeah, only colors I can wear, or?
Speaker 2:blues. I look good in color, unless it's on Instagram, then it makes my eyes look dark or something. Then I have to listen to you look tired. Black just makes everything good and it really is more for the products live sales. And then I just got into wearing it and I like it.
Speaker 1:I'm glad I didn't have to put wear colors. I know that would have been a problem.
Speaker 2:You had to switch and wear color.
Speaker 1:I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2:But one more thing in my box, before we get to the home decor market trends that we saw, is Someone said when will Steven release a recording of his favorite songs? I need to do that.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, that would be hard to do because I can't believe.
Speaker 2:Just they know tell it thing. And oh yeah, they some, some of them don't obviously.
Speaker 1:They know talent when they hear it Mm-hmm, exactly. You know what I'm so excited. I'm going on March 14th it's on a Thursday. I'm gonna miss a live sale. Oh, you are Going to see my favorite band of all time, and it's not gonna be completely the same because the lead singer died, but you're going to see Leonard Skinner, oh my, and ZZ top.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:I can't wait.
Speaker 2:Where is it here?
Speaker 1:Greenville. Okay yeah, do you want to go?
Speaker 2:No, no, I would rather do a live sale and sell and make money, then go. I can't think of anything worse than going to that but you know I'm gonna be singing every single song. You'll start about two weeks before and need to go for the next day should actually I?
Speaker 1:I'm not a concert goer. I typically do not go to concerts because I get bored. It's an 80d thing. But With certain people I can go to a concert because I know I'm gonna like every single song. Yeah like Elton John share. You know, they're all those handful of Billy Joel, right? Paul McCartney, those people. And so Leonard Skinner is easy top or just up there. So I'm totally getting my boots out in my worn holy jeans. Red neck and yeah, I am gonna redneck it up.
Speaker 2:No, I'm proud of you. Well, that's exciting. Well, I can't wait to be tortured by those songs for a couple of weeks. All right, so let's talk about Market. So this is our part two of a market trends and the previous episode, in case you missed it. Like I mentioned, I think at the beginning of this one, we talked about holiday Trends we were seeing at market. So we thought now we would break it down and tell you some of the trends we're seeing in everyday home decor, accessories and that sort of thing. Also. We talked about how the trends work and it kind of works the same way. We golf the feeling of what people are responding to in our stores and online and we're like, oh, if they like this, this is its brother or sister or cousin. They'll like that. You know they. And that's how we determine what we're, what we're wanting to offer, and we just have to.
Speaker 1:It is kind of ironic that we're doing this, because I just had a pre, a Pre pre market meeting with our row furniture rep.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we'll be going in. We just got back in January into January, from the Atlanta market, which is more heavy on Holiday gift items and then, as far as everyday items, they have a lot of home decor accessories and a little bit of furniture. But then in just if not long in April, we go to the hot point furniture market and that's where we find our upholstery, case goods, larger items, is it that market? So we kind of have to hit two different markets. But before the April market there's always like a pre pre market, like the early, early introductions. So you had a meeting with. That is what you're telling me.
Speaker 1:Yes, and it was so interesting Because I didn't go to that meeting. It was so interesting to to see what their new releases are in fabrics versus what we saw at market. And it was, you know, and I have to give row furniture props because they do such a good job. I feel like every year with their fabrics and knowing what's on trend?
Speaker 2:Yeah, what's coming up?
Speaker 1:And it was all of those rich colors, lots of chocolate brown, lots of chocolate brown and amber.
Speaker 2:Well, that's all colors. We saw that at market.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's all the same. So yeah, it does you know I ordered a an amber velvet sofa. Yeah and I'm like you know it's gonna be. It's just very, very warm cozy plaids.
Speaker 2:So I would say the biggest thing happening in home decor is color coming back Rich, color, rich. But the the biggest thing is seeing a lot of colors come in and warm colors even in the wall color warm, like you said, warm walls and that sort of thing your color. Yeah, color, color, color is.
Speaker 1:But but not bright color.
Speaker 2:Yeah, more muddy, muddy warm which we've been seeing that come in in accessories a lot of your 70s colors your ambers, your chocolates, right, your Avocado greens, right all that the biggest color trend in home decor we saw at market was green green you wanted to know like what is the hottest color?
Speaker 1:It was green any variation, not as much bright, but not right, but any variation of dark.
Speaker 2:From a sage to an olive to olive avocado any of those green tones. It's in paint, it's in furniture, it's in vases and accessories, so everything has that that green in it.
Speaker 1:We saw it which I love, love, love green.
Speaker 2:I've always loved green.
Speaker 1:Remember when we opened our Home store we did emerald green, we did an emerald green room, and it was that was the core of the year back then. That was 11 years ago 2013.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sorry.
Speaker 1:It was 11 years circling back around.
Speaker 2:But yeah, so green, green, green was the the color. Before we go into more Trends that we saw, let's take a pit stop, because Stephen did interview a couple of people for home decor trends. Yeah, let's take it to the street. Let's take it to the street and listen to them and then we'll be back to give our opinion. Okay, so tell us your name.
Speaker 4:My name is Jenny Mason.
Speaker 1:Okay, and what's your business?
Speaker 4:Jenny Mason designs.
Speaker 1:Okay, where are you from, Austin Texas?
Speaker 4:Okay great.
Speaker 1:What home trends are you seeing this year in at market?
Speaker 4:Well, what I've loved is I've seen a lot of pops of that emerald green, whether it's traditional, modern Seems like every showroom has brought in a lot of that emerald green Mm-hmm in lots of pops like that lots of pops, yes, and I've also seen some antiques three productions that I feel like there's Traditional modern mixed in with some antique reproductions, which makes it cozy. Yes, I think so too.
Speaker 1:I think so too, and what did you really not like? I'm seeing. I'll tell you something I'm seeing a lot of even in the holiday home decor and everything, and I just think it's kind of weird is mushrooms. I Like my shrooms, but they're everywhere.
Speaker 4:Okay, I saw on that shroom that was this big it was probably I held. I have a picture of myself with it. I think it's about 24 inches.
Speaker 1:We're a table.
Speaker 4:And it it might, it's, yeah, it might scare people might scare client.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm like maybe if you have a Conservatory it could be cool.
Speaker 4:Yeah, if you really like mushrooms, yeah, I mean, that's your thing, yeah maybe, or if you sell like or grow psychedelic mushrooms.
Speaker 1:It's totally.
Speaker 4:I think if you had a client you want to show you showed a client that or your customer they might run. It might be a really like they may be, yeah, yeah, yeah or if you do a lot of drugs, it could work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, why do you think there's mushrooms? I don't know, I can't figure it out. And then I thought that. Did you see the purple in Christmas? I haven't been to Christmas yet. Do I need to go out there?
Speaker 4:Not your thing need to walk through. Okay, you need to walk through, not into it. It's pretty, but I don't think it's going to sell to the masses Is purple, the new pink maybe, I think purple.
Speaker 1:They're trying really hard. No, they don't like the purple.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yes.
Speaker 1:Okay, thank you so much. Thank you we appreciate you. So what is your name? My name's Noelle Wallace. Okay, and you're a rep here. I am, I'm a rep. Or quite a few brands Several, yes, yes, so what market trends are you seeing for this year, for this market?
Speaker 3:So we're seeing a lot of really pretty colors come back, some rustic orange reds, burnt reds and a lot of green.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a lot of muddy colors. Yes, which I'm really excited about. Me too. Bring that color. Yes, and darker woods. Absolutely a lot of darker finishes. Yeah, so we're excited. Very excited. A lot of brass.
Speaker 3:Brass. Yeah, a lot of great finishes. We're really excited. Okay, thank you so much. Thank you.
Speaker 2:So I found that interesting talking to them and again thanks to them for letting us disturb their markets. Even when we just walk up with the microphone and be like, hey, we're going to interview you.
Speaker 1:I know, but I wasn't saying anything too horrible. I didn't say are you wearing panties?
Speaker 2:I'm not I am. We showed those in stories, the funny ones we did in stories. Again, there were a few people who turned us down.
Speaker 1:Makes me mad. I know right, I want to hit them in the head with a jelly dough knife.
Speaker 2:But I thought it was funny that both kind of said the same things and we're seeing the same things that we were seeing and that is a lot of color, warm colors, like we were just talking about the green.
Speaker 1:And antiques are definitely not. Antiques never go out.
Speaker 2:Right, so that's what I was going to say is going into furniture. The thing that we noticed when you called this one at the last market in October. You already said hey, when we come back in April, we're going to add in some antiques into.
Speaker 1:Just here and there.
Speaker 2:Our home store, just here and there a couple of pieces, and we used to do a little bit of that back in the day and then we kind of got away from it. But yes, antiques a lot of the showrooms furniture showrooms either had antiques or antique reproduction that look like antique. Use you that curated, layered.
Speaker 1:look.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it goes back to giving you, like you said, that bound look coming into furniture. We've seen that a lot in accessories over the last few years, but now it's kind of playing into the furniture and they'll have it paired with something you know in the same lifestyle as something transitional or contemporary or contemporary, and mine and here's the thing with me on that never goes out of style for me. Right, that's always my look, that's always been your style, so you're right at home.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm good, I'm like, yeah, don't have to sweat this one out. Yeah, and not that I ever do, but I've always liked that, curated, layered. You know old and new, old, new.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Cause if you look at your house now, you have first of all, like a mix of wood colors. Like a lot of people also get lost in thinking they can't mix with tones which you totally can and it looks really good. It just makes it look, like you said, more curated, more found like designer.
Speaker 1:You can mix primitive with really formal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you've done very good with that, because you have the whole mix in your house and it makes it look like less that you hot. You went to a store and bought the whole package Right and you bought, you know, the matching, this and the matching that you put put element, it creates more warmth, but I feel like we've never seen that really from vendors.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:We've seen it where we've done it on our own and we've done it like I said. We've brought in antique pieces just on our own into the store, but to see vendors actually reproducing, to give you that look, this is the first time we're seeing that where you're seeing the antique look being mixed in.
Speaker 1:I think with those colors, with those warm chocolates and ambers and caramels, I think it just creates such a warm cozy. Look Right, I mean it's so.
Speaker 2:It really does and it's you know. It is the swing of you know, everything you know. I guess probably around 2017, 18 was the prom of everything white, everything neutral, from the walls to the floor, to the decor and that sort of thing. So it is a nice change.
Speaker 1:Walls to the floor, to the sweat room.
Speaker 2:So it is a nice change to see colors being mixed. In my personal style I've always had colors. I mean like yeah, our great room is white because that fits the room, but then all the accessories in it have always had color, like my chairs have always had color or the sofas have been. You know, I never did white walls, cream sofas, cream chairs, everything's just neutral.
Speaker 1:And I like that look too. Don't get me wrong, I like that cream and yeah, it's very clean look. Our friend Deb and the Nail. Their house is a white base with a lot of stain.
Speaker 2:They form it up with the wood, so it's not. It works so well Like the reason why, if you think about how Deb and the Nail's look works so well, they never did their bases white, but they never been painted all their furniture. No some people took it too far too far, where everything was white, from the furniture to the fabric to the every, where they really made it homey, layered and warmed it up with adding.
Speaker 1:It's timeless. Yeah, it's timeless and it is just. I just love it. Yeah, and having those layers and warmth with the wood yeah, the woods and whites, totally different than just the but they will easily be able to mix in, if they wanted to, the ambers and the chocolates, because it goes with all the dark wood.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, they have the base. Yeah, they can just add in a pop of whatever warm color.
Speaker 1:But I feel like you can do that too easily.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, and I've always done that. I mean because I've had oranges to blues.
Speaker 1:You've always liked color in your home.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just when it was a thing and when it's not a thing yeah, I'm always going to have some kind of some kind of color, but it's funny how the colors, even looking back to, like our house before this one.
Speaker 2:I've always liked colors, but it's funny how the colors change. Not necessarily, okay, I may like orange, but back in 2016, it was a brighter orange and now if I were to go grab some orange to put in, it would be a burnt orange. So you're still drawn to the same colors, but it's totally different tones of the colors and that's what we're seeing with with those trends. Everything is a muddy, warm tone, which we've been we've been saying that on the podcast, I mean since we did like we've been seeing that transition for at least a year now, but this time it was way prominent in the market. I feel like also the other thing, like the animal prints we talked about they're still popular, but I feel like this time I was seeing more botanical print, which we just did a lot of botanical print, which neither one of those go out out, no, but I feel like they were being more prominent, like you've seen a lot more florals, also in fabric.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the flowers are going to be big.
Speaker 2:Wallpapers which.
Speaker 1:I think goes back to a more vintage feel.
Speaker 2:Curated.
Speaker 1:Curated, layered, look yeah, and your animal prints never go out and they add so much. But it's a more natural. It's a more natural to me, that's just a.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a more natural and layered texture.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's not a color, it's just a good. It's a good natural.
Speaker 2:I will say the one thing at Market that I feel like kind of dropped off. I feel like quickly as big of a trend as it was and not that it's not still on trend. So if you're buying a piece of this or you have a piece, it's not that it's you're out of date or anything, but like the furniture. I'm not talking accessories, but like the furniture that's like woven or the natural elements. You know what I'm saying. Like the, the, the boho, the boho, the boho, the style furniture.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like it's still on trend. I think it's, I think it never goes out.
Speaker 2:Out because it's more diluted and mixed in now.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's layered in instead of being that whole.
Speaker 1:But if you think about what we did at our house in Florida, we did that we use some boho textured pieces but they're just layered in here and there. Oh yeah, we didn't do the whole thing.
Speaker 2:Right, that's true.
Speaker 1:I think it works well like that, when you can just do a little texture pop here or there.
Speaker 2:I think anything pretty much works well when you don't overdo it, when you any trend that you see come along, whether it's painting your furniture, if you add oh, I want to paint my furniture If you do a piece or two you can keep it so much longer than if you go oh, painted furniture is popular, I'm painting all of my furniture because then it it goes back to looking all out of date at one time or off trend.
Speaker 1:Right, and I remember funny you bring that up. I remember I hated the like, the shabby chic look of like antique and like chippy. I like that look, but like with slip covers, oh yeah, I hated it. Saggy and baggy, right, and I was looking at row when they came out. Their slip covers are very, very fitted, very clean, yeah, tailored Much better, yeah, so like I could have a slip cover.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, you know, back when we started, I was like we cannot have anything slip covered, because it just was saggy and baggy baggy, messy, just no good. And you can't ever get it just right the neck neck on when it was like that. So to have it more tailored is.
Speaker 1:And then a trick if you're listening and you have slip, slip covered furniture and you want to clean it, first of all make sure it's washable and second of all, when you pull it out, do not dry it completely. Let it air dry and while it's still damp, you put it on your furniture.
Speaker 2:So then it can kind of dry and shrink on. Yes.
Speaker 1:If you put it, if you let it dry completely and then try to put it on, you're never going to get it on again. Yeah, it shrinks that bird. It's just the way it is.
Speaker 2:That's the way it is. What other trends did we see at the market? A lot of brass, a lot of brass, which is Antique brass Antique brass, and I love brass.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's always a classic, it's always a classic, but now it's really like with chandeliers and everything is brass.
Speaker 2:Brass, brass age brass Antique brass. The dark brass, but dark color tone.
Speaker 1:You know it was gold, a lot of gold leaf, and it's still pretty yeah.
Speaker 2:There's still a lot of gold, but I would say gold leaning towards brass, and a lot of prominent brass. The one, and you know, the one that tries to keep happening is like silver, or what would you call it, nickel.
Speaker 1:It's not really nickel, that's what it is.
Speaker 4:Is it?
Speaker 2:nickel, but it's still an aged nickel or whatever. Our clientele has never responded to nickel at all, but they keep trying to make it happen at market, but then it still hasn't taken off Like eventually it has swing back.
Speaker 1:Our customers are more traditional. Yeah, for the most part is a generalization.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I guess maybe nickel's more popular, like west coast or maybe east coast like. New York, like bigger cities in that sort of urban environment. But yeah, for us, for our bungalows and traditional homes, still trending, gold and brass for sure, absolutely. And the good thing is you can mix metals. We've talked about that, I know, thank God, we're mixed. You can mix woods and you can mix metals. Just mix it all up is the name of the game right now.
Speaker 1:When you mix metals. So I just did that when I redid my bathrooms and that just threw me because when I did my last house, everything matched door hinges door knobs lights, everything, and I mixed for the first time when I redid my bathrooms. Yes. Okay, Let me think through this. So I did on my vanities in my two smaller bathrooms I did all black hardware.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:I did black faucets and then I did brass mirrors, and then my lights are black and brass, and then the showers. I did not want black in there because I feel like it shows so scum and just watermark. Yeah, and I wanted the polished nickel or the chrome polished chrome in there, so I did chrome in the shower and the water closet. All that's chrome.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But I did it with the black. You don't even notice it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's complete opposites, and it all fits together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it looks great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can totally mix in that. Yeah, same with the woods as well.
Speaker 1:So just don't do like, like, if you're. If you want to mix black and something, it needs to be black with nickel or polished chrome or the brass, yeah. But you don't want to do like polished chrome and nickel together, yeah, you don't want to. No, you don't want them too close, too close, too close.
Speaker 2:That looks like, oh, you didn't match it up right. You want it to be contrast to each other, so it all kind of flows, and you got to carry it throughout, throughout as well. So you have to have it in more than just like you can't do like brass everywhere and then one color you got to like, have them mixed throughout as well. So I think that's the trends. I'm excited to see what coming up at the hot point mark. I mean that's in April. It'll be a few weeks away, a couple of months away. It'll be here before you know it To see how it continues on. But, like you said, you're already seeing it continue on. Yeah, warm colors, floral prints in fabrics, antique, an antique reproduction style furniture mixed in green. Like we said, all shades of darker, muddier green, warm greens, and we did leave out the mushroom aspect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's there.
Speaker 2:Mushroom we talked about that in the last episode with holiday. We didn't get it in holiday. We'll have to see how it translates to home decor. I mean, I can see a few mushroom accessories here and there, but we'll see if it really picks up the way.
Speaker 1:Definitely 70s is creeping in. But it's the warm, the warm pretty parts of the 70s, not that bright, garish, yellow and orange yeah, it's the burnt oranges, it's the avocados, it's the amber, the chocolates, the pretty parts. I love it. I do, too, something warm and cozy. I love it Like a big warm hug, love it, absolutely.
