Chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life. Botox Onobotulinum toxin a prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment prescription.

Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome, and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. Why wait?

A
Okay, welcome back listeners. We have a special bonus episode for you today. I'm going to give you fair warning that we're going to be jumping all over the place because we're kind of just spitballing here. So tuck in.
- [01:47]
C
And we're getting lost in our own catalog here. Like we, we sat here quiet for a good minute, just like flipping through our own catalog. Yeah, yeah.
- [01:55]
A
So this is very true. Yes. But basically we're going to talk all about our newest collection, our spring summer 2026 collection. Had to think about the year for a second there, but we're going to talk about all our new products. The inspiration for the collection, some things that are standing out to us. And we're just gonna. We're just gonna chit chat.
- [02:18]
B
Love it.
- [02:18]
A
We're just gonna gap. Right?
- [02:20]
C
Yeah.
- [02:21]
B
Well. And we've already introduced this slightly because we talked our trends, that we were kind of like, grav words.
- [02:27]
A
True.
- [02:27]
B
So we've already said, you know, like, hey, we think we're going towards this. We're loving this. So I kind of made a list of all the things we had talked about.
- [02:36]
A
And we have talked about Carson. We've covered Carson.
- [02:39]
B
Yes, yes. So we have Carson's launch, which is a big chunk of this beautiful season that we have. And then we talked a lot about kind of this again, it's spring. It's. What we all need is just this beautiful color palette of slightly earthy but beautiful pastels that really help your home feel fresh with the beautiful florals outside and bringing that outside in. We've said that on repeat. Objects with patina, lots of things with ruffles and embellishments and stripes being such a strong motif. That, of course, is a classic. And Ballard has had stripes for years and will continue to have stripes. We talked a lot about natural wovens. We all know there's no. You can't go to any store right now without running into a woven lampshade, rattan piece of furniture. We continue to, like, love that natural material and the way the artisans are creating any objet. I mean, we have so many little quirky things ourselves that have come out. We have a little snail basket, you know.
- [03:47]
A
Oh, my God.
- [03:47]
C
Oh, my God.
- [03:49]
A
I thought about the snail basket. It's so cute.
- [03:52]
B
So that was another one we talked about. Just kind of that coastal chic thing that everybody is craving, especially this time of year. Everyone is ready to break out of winter, get themselves on some sort of beach and coast and see the ocean and regroup. So I think the catalog really. I mean, the. The season just really speaks to all those things, you know, and gives this really true life of, like, living things, if that makes sense. Yeah, it's truly living.
- [04:25]
C
Well, I love all the wovens. So, first of all, we have, like, jumping back to Carson, too. We have that really incredible Westbury table.
- [04:34]
A
Yeah.
- [04:35]
B
Like, woven scallop table.
- [04:36]
C
Again, woven. Yeah.
- [04:37]
B
Like, the shape they can weave.
- [04:39]
C
It is a great size. It's, what, 30 or 36 inches? I don't have direct to dimensions, but
- [04:46]
A
I'll look while you're.
- [04:47]
B
It's meant to be a little, like, entry moment.
- [04:49]
C
It is so sweet. It is so nice. And like, the. The pedestal, the Kind of dental scallop molding, like, woven all around it is so great. I don't even know what to call it. It's so good.
- [05:04]
A
Vera bed, too.
- [05:05]
C
Oh, my gosh.
- [05:07]
B
Vena.
- [05:07]
C
Veda. Veda.
- [05:09]
B
We got it, guys.
- [05:10]
C
Veda. I know things go through many naming processes here, but Veda is so pretty.
- [05:17]
A
Yes.
- [05:17]
B
If you guys are looking for, like a wow moment for a room, this bed, it is. Has this beautiful, subtle wave to it, and it has this little braided detail along the headboard. It really is a one of a kind bed. It's definitely sturdy. It's perfect to really bring that kind of natural material into a space you probably haven't before. And this.
- [05:39]
A
The scallop skirt on the bottom is so cute because you could have easily just done the headboard, but the skirt makes it.
- [05:48]
B
The skirt makes it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you don't have to buy any kind of bed skirt. It's just like, own built in.
- [05:54]
A
Can I tell y' all how much I love having a. Like. Well, I have an upholstered bed. Right. But having this skirted or the upholstered rails, to me, I. I mean, it's just. Bed skirts are important, but they're always moving around. It drives me insane. They get dusty and I just feel like having the full rails, or in this case, the woven rails.
- [06:20]
B
It just makes your life so much easier.
- [06:22]
C
Yeah. Anyway, they're really nice.
- [06:24]
A
If you. If you can. If you can sacrifice the storage, then I highly recommend.
- [06:31]
C
But there's so much more. Okay, let's get back to woven, because there's so much more woven. There's the Raya bar cart that has the rattan, and it has a beautiful curve. The bar cabinet.
- [06:43]
A
Yeah.
- [06:43]
B
Yeah, we know. I guess we're all over the place. No, I'm like.
- [06:46]
A
We have.
- [06:46]
C
I'm like, it's a bar. It's boozy.
- [06:48]
A
It's really a new size of the. The Raya sideboard.
- [06:52]
C
Yes. Like, so it matches into that. But it's a really lovely height, too.
- [06:56]
A
Yeah.
- [06:58]
B
It's good for actually, like, making drinks on. It's at the appropriate height for that, so. And that was intentional, too. We made sure to make it a little bit higher so that it is true bar in the. In that sense of like, you. Your cocktail on that surface.
- [07:10]
A
But I also love the way we've styled it in here. It's got this fabulous sort of Jacobean wallpaper with this new mirror that's kind of like a dressier Atol mirror to me. It's sort of it's got these white scallop or white floral sculptures. And so it's sort of. It has that vibe of age hall, but it's more feminine and more dressy.
- [07:38]
B
Um, but all these pieces with that natural. And they're all. They. Most of those have all natural finish, too. So it really lets that material sing. And, like, you get to really appreciate it. And it's a great thing to add into a room. If you have too much wood and you're like, how am I breaking up all these wood objects in my room? It's a great next material. Goes great with metal, goes great with wood, goes great with plaster. If you're adding a little bit of that coastal or kind of tropical. Not necessarily. It is definitely a whimsier material material because it's so handmade.
- [08:11]
A
But, I mean, the rattans.
- [08:13]
B
The rattan. So, yeah, it's such a good way to bring in a little bit of artisan truly.
- [08:20]
C
Yeah.
- [08:21]
B
Okay.
- [08:22]
C
So there are so many good woven mirrors too.
- [08:25]
B
Oh, no, we went hard.
- [08:26]
C
We went hard. Okay, can we. And can we also talk about the Henry console?
- [08:32]
A
Oh, yeah, that one is pretty.
- [08:33]
C
So this is a. A woven wrapped console.
- [08:38]
B
It's a rope wrapped. So they take rope and they literally, we've created some shapes, and they've covered it in rope. So these balusters, a double baluster base, little console. So, again, getting. We've talked a lot about texture. We talk about texture all the time. You can do a room, just one tone, all texture, different textures, and get that. And it's another great piece. This rope wrapping is a lot. Is again, just another really cool thing. You'll see out there. Finishes that gives again, that just more layering.
- [09:10]
C
Yeah, I saw that in our store recently, too, and it was just. Wow. It's really a wow moment on that console.
- [09:18]
A
I almost. Y'. All. There's so many good things that I kind of forgot about that console because there's so much. There's so much. I'm like, oh, yeah, that one is good.
- [09:27]
C
Okay. But going off of rope, I feel like there are rope details, too, that are carved, like in the Ramona dining chair.
- [09:35]
A
Oh, yes, that one's pretty. That.
- [09:37]
C
That has this, like, really beautiful rope detail.
- [09:40]
A
The tassel feet kills me.
- [09:42]
C
Oh, my gosh. Right?
- [09:44]
B
Yeah. The. The.
- [09:45]
A
Did you do that one?
- [09:46]
B
The carved rope? Yes, I helped with that one. The carved rope. And then Carson did metal rope, very Hollywood Regency style. So he did a lot of. There's a lot of rope.
- [09:56]
C
That tassel bar cart is everything that's like. That's in my shopping cart.
- [10:01]
B
Okay.
- [10:01]
A
You know what that looks like to. It looks like the little, I think of, like, Aladdin.
- [10:09]
C
Oh, it totally looks like the magic carpet.
- [10:12]
A
The magic carpet has this little rope.
- [10:14]
C
Right. Feet. And there's so much personality in the tassels of the. Of the magic carpet. No.
- [10:19]
B
And this was, like, an antique that Carson had found and brought to us. And he was sitting.
- [10:23]
A
So he wasn't watching. He wasn't watching Aladdin.
- [10:26]
C
He may have been watching Aladdin.
- [10:27]
B
He didn't say that's what he was watching. But was he.
- [10:31]
A
Obviously, you know what season of Life I'm in when. That's my point of reference.
- [10:35]
C
When you're referencing Disney movies. Yeah. But there's also the Torino bookcase.
- [10:42]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [10:42]
B
So, yeah, that's another carved detail.
- [10:44]
A
You did your homework. Thank you. I. I flipped through.
- [10:47]
C
I'm a little familiar with the catalog, but. Okay. The Torino bookcase. That is another one that. In the photography, it looked great. We put it along a wall, and we masked it out along behind a dining room. Again, I saw it in person and was just blown away by the quality.
- [11:09]
A
Yeah, I mean, that's a really.
- [11:11]
B
It's a looker.
- [11:13]
C
It made me start to think, where do I need an extra bookcase? And I don't need an extra bookcase, but I maybe need an extra bookcase.
- [11:19]
A
A skinny bookcase would be so easy to put almost anywhere because it's a real small footprint, you know, and. Or not real small, but it's a smaller footprint. So you could put it in between two windows or in a little corner or something, or a hallway.
- [11:33]
C
Like. Yeah, it. It definitely can go a lot more places, but it's a lot. It's a lot of look, it's really beautiful.
- [11:43]
A
Taryn, let me ask you a question. In something like the rope detail, because I had kind of forgotten this as a theme, but it is in lots of different elements. Is that something that each of the different merchandising teams came to separately, or was it something that you and Hillary and Will, as a design team, sort of thought, oh, this would be a great element to work into lots of pieces. Like, which side is it coming from?
- [12:08]
B
I guess it's both. Like, the teams work together. I mean, we're both seeing a lot of the same things and going to a lot of the same show houses and, you know, really as a team, trying to talk about those themes and textures. My team kind of leads it off. But merchandising is very, you know, is Very involved in that. And they're, you know, point of view, too, of, like, does this work is really important? Because we can, of course, get kind of crazy as designers. You know, we can get real weird, and they have to be like, no, that's too weird. But the rope detail is something. Again, it's kind of that faux bois. It's that it's. It's not real rope in some of those cases. In one of the cases, it's not. You know, that entry is true rope, but again, just another trick to get texture truly into a space. Yeah.
- [12:59]
A
Okay. Sorry. I just flipped to this page right here, and y', all. The Victoria secretary. I am obsessed with this piece. It's so smart. I wish I had a place for it, quite frankly.
- [13:11]
B
But that one was based off of an antique. Our team was traveling, and it was in somebody's hotel room, and it was, again, a bed, and it was a small room, and it just had room for bed and two dressers. And then it had this secretary with the tabletop down and a nice little desktop, and it had the top cabinet open with the television because it was a hotel room. So it was all, you know, of course, but it was this. What a perfect solution for a smaller space. Somebody who might have less square footage. This is great because you can get your tv, you can hide it, and
- [13:46]
A
you can fit a pretty good TV in there.
- [13:47]
B
Yeah, I can't.
- [13:48]
A
Yeah.
- [13:49]
B
I think it says what size tv, but. And now you have storage for things because it's got tons of drawers. You have a place to sit and actually put your laptop. Charge it. It's just a great. Especially if you have to duel your bedroom with, like, an office. This is a great way to do it because you're hiding all. All of that away, which is. Yeah.
- [14:08]
C
All the things that you don't want to see. The hutch that hides the television is so beautiful.
- [14:13]
A
Yeah.
- [14:13]
C
And you would never. You would never know that a TV is behind there.
- [14:17]
A
Yeah.
- [14:18]
B
And it looks like a true antique. Like, the finish does, too. It is a rubbed finish. Like, an artist works on there. Yeah. Like, you can tell, like, one person came and, like, did the first coat. There was a second coat. Somebody rubbed it down. Third coat. You know, it's beautiful.
- [14:31]
A
I. We have it shown in the living room.
- [14:34]
B
Yeah.
- [14:34]
A
I could definitely see it in a living room where maybe it's a little dressier and you want to be able to hide the television, but in a bedroom too. I feel like we all kind of have mixed feelings about a TV in a Bedroom. Just because you know you want it.
- [14:50]
B
Yeah.
- [14:50]
A
Which is you want to be able to watch TV in bed, but being able to tuck it away and hide it is certainly nice, you know.
- [14:57]
B
Yeah.
- [14:57]
C
Yeah.
- [14:58]
B
It's definitely a great tool.
- [14:59]
A
I just think y' all did. Your team did an incredible job designing it to where it is hard. It would be hard to convince someone that it's not an antique. You know, it's just. It's that well done.
- [15:10]
B
That's. Yeah. That's our wonderful sourcing team who works with our beautiful vendors. So
- [15:17]
A
even the little pull drawers and the fluting on the front, I mean, it's just.
- [15:20]
B
It's really fluting again, another way. A lot of flutter.
- [15:24]
A
Yes.
- [15:25]
B
We're still hot for fluting stripes.
- [15:28]
C
All of these textures are so great and so subtle. I feel like we're always talking about ways to bring texture into your rooms to make them feel more finished and more complete and more designed and more interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But without saying, hey, look at me, I'm interesting.
- [15:45]
B
Yeah. Veneers are another great way we do that. Again, all the burl still being such a beautiful material. I know we did it on this new office collection. Collection.
- [15:54]
C
Yeah. The Maris office collection.
- [15:56]
A
So pretty.
- [15:56]
C
Is stunning.
- [15:57]
B
It's got a nice like medium level brown stain over the beautiful burl. So again it reads just really rich. Like this is gonna feel like. It's gonna feel that way, like very elegant.
- [16:11]
A
And I love the little hidden. Hidden pull out.
- [16:15]
C
Yeah. It has little wing like on either side of the.
- [16:19]
B
If you need more space.
- [16:20]
C
Such a pretty detail.
- [16:22]
B
It allows you to really have a desk again in a more petite space if you need. But then like, if you end up overflowing, you can just pop out those two side eye overflow.
- [16:31]
A
I overflow.
- [16:32]
C
I do. But it's also so beautiful in like the burl feels kind of like rich and masculine. But the shape of the desk has these beautiful, like really elegant shaped, elegant legs that feel very feminine. It's just. It's a really beautiful marriage of the. Of all of the different things.
- [16:53]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It could go in a man's office or like, you could go either way with it, really.
- [16:59]
B
And the console too, I mean, is really pretty because it really would work for media as well. Like it's got a great open shelf that you can put anything you need to access very easily. And then it's got tons of storage underneath or you can use it in the office to tug away. But it's a great. It's a great looking little Piece, for sure. So, anyway, burl. We talked about fluting Burl again, stripes. They're everywhere from.
- [17:26]
A
Well, we kind of skipped over color a little bit, but to me, this, like, I am loving the little touches of lavender.
- [17:34]
C
Yeah.
- [17:34]
A
And I feel like we used a lot of. We've been. We've been really focused on green for a while. Obviously, blue is kind of always there, but we've been doing a lot more green recently. But the green we've used in this season is like. Like, more yellowy, I would say.
- [17:51]
B
Yeah.
- [17:52]
C
It's a little bit more apple.
- [17:54]
A
Yeah.
- [17:55]
C
Like, sour apple type of.
- [17:56]
A
I'm not usually a chartreuse person. I know that Taryn is, but I'm really digging it. I just. This room in particular, to me, is just so stunning with the purple and the green and I.
- [18:11]
C
And look, we've got a pedestal with rope detail on in the corner.
- [18:14]
A
We've got a. What? Oh, a pedestal.
- [18:16]
C
Yeah. That has the rope.
- [18:17]
A
Yes.
- [18:17]
C
Carved.
- [18:18]
A
Yep.
- [18:19]
C
That's great, too. But the. The purple just goes so well with the green, and that purple e cat is just really fantastic.
- [18:29]
A
Yeah. There's also a new bedding collection that has a chartreuse green colorway, and I'm. I've been.
- [18:37]
B
Ooh. It's been in my cart.
- [18:39]
A
Well, it's been in my cart. I have to actually, you know, pull the trigger, but it's called violette, and it's a real chartreuse. But it's such a good shade. I really like it. I know. You are. You are the queen of chartreuse.
- [18:57]
B
That is very kind to say.
- [18:58]
A
Yeah.
- [18:59]
B
Should I be, like, appreciating the fact that, like, a shade of almost acidic green is my color? But, yes, I love it.
- [19:05]
C
Yeah.
- [19:06]
B
I love it. And I mean, even this front shot is, like, it's got, again, that very yellow toned green that it's just. It is what. When you take a walk in the spring outside and you're like, this is the color. This is the color that just like, explodes.
- [19:22]
A
Not the pollen, but maybe during pollen. I mean, it may. It may be.
- [19:26]
C
Yeah.
- [19:27]
B
Pollen does give that nice yellow glow to everything. It could be us down here.
- [19:31]
A
Yeah.
- [19:32]
C
Right now, I just feel like it's my porch or my car, but. Yeah.
- [19:35]
B
Yes, that's very true.
- [19:37]
C
But I also love the. This. Okay, can we talk about the skirt on this? On this bench? It is so. It is so precious. And I love. I love the mix of the green with the Freya multi fabric on the pillows and on the drapery panels.
- [20:00]
B
It hides so Much too. Do you know how much you can put under that? Like, that's a good call.
- [20:05]
C
Yeah, that is a good call.
- [20:07]
B
As a person who's shoving stuff, I could definitely.
- [20:09]
C
You know what? But you'd never know that. That she's showing anything in here.
- [20:13]
B
I mean, there could be. I mean, whole. Keep all your dinnerware under there. Just pop it out. Right.
- [20:18]
A
You know what I just remembered is this new, new rope wrapped light fixture with the tassel detail.
- [20:27]
C
Yeah, that is pretty.
- [20:28]
A
It's called Regina, and I think it's. It is such a great size, and I love the little.
- [20:36]
B
She's got a good classic. Like her little brass tassel.
- [20:39]
A
So cute.
- [20:40]
B
Yeah, the brass tassel.
- [20:41]
C
Yeah.
- [20:42]
B
Natural weave over it.
- [20:43]
C
It's a beautiful. It's a good traditional shape, but with a modern twist, and I love that.

- [21:51]
C
Oh, my golly.
- [21:52]
B
I don't think. I think we've, like, truly rolled that out as a PR thing.
- [21:57]
A
Well, we've got two right now. So it's.
- [21:59]
B
We're kind of more coming or more is coming.
- [22:03]
A
Yes, more is coming.
- [22:04]
C
More is coming.
- [22:04]
A
This is a stocked Roman shade. There's a flat with a. With a contrast border, and there's a relaxed. With a contrast border. What page are you on?
- [22:17]
B
Just kidding. 45. Thank you.
- [22:19]
A
Yeah, just a great, simple piece. Yeah, that kind of goes anywhere, you know?
- [22:28]
C
Yeah. And I really love how we're showing them with drapery panels, too, to really just kind of layer in that extra bit of texture and privacy without needing to pull your drapery closed every night. Like pulling a shade down.
- [22:44]
A
Yep.
- [22:45]
B
I talk about Roman shades all the time.
- [22:47]
A
They're so great.
- [22:47]
B
They're so great, and they look great.
- [22:50]
A
You know what you need to do is you need to add a tassel to your drapery hardware.
- [22:56]
B
We do. We have some really fun stuff coming.
- [23:01]
C
That's with drapery hardware.
- [23:03]
B
You guys are gonna lose it. It will be something in a good way. Like, it looks so good. Just wait.
- [23:09]
C
Okay.
- [23:09]
A
Don't worry.
- [23:09]
B
You'll be.
- [23:10]
A
Well, gosh, I'm gonna wait a year for it. Thanks a lot. I know. Well, maybe more how. What are you designing? Right. What are you working on right now? What year are you looking on? Working on fall 27.
- [23:21]
B
I'm working on Christmas. 27th. Merry Christmas. That's where I'm at. So. Yes. Outdoor. Okay. We have a new porch swing. And speaking of that kind of outdoor in lattice work has been, like, so prominent. It's one of those kind of motifs we've been gravitating towards as well. The Berkshire porch swing. I have to own. It is a beautiful curve. It has the lattice. It will look gorgeous on my white house with a little laps work. And we have the lattice over there.
- [23:50]
A
Where are you gonna put it? On your.
- [23:52]
B
On my side. My little covered porch. I want to sit there. The boys can ride their bikes up and down my driveway. I can sit there with my glass of wine. Like this picture.
- [23:59]
A
Like where your back door is or the screen.
- [24:04]
C
Okay. Yeah.
- [24:04]
B
My side door.
- [24:05]
A
Okay. Yeah.
- [24:06]
C
Okay.
- [24:06]
B
It will fit there. I've measured it will.
- [24:09]
A
That's amazing.
- [24:10]
C
That's a big side.
- [24:11]
A
And it also comes with the little side tray. The sidecar tray.
- [24:17]
C
Yes.
- [24:17]
A
Very important because we all like our wine.
- [24:21]
B
Four chips. Couldn't forget that. You gotta have a snack. And above.
- [24:24]
A
Right.
- [24:25]
B
So we didn't. We didn't disappoint.
- [24:27]
A
We weren't gonna. Yeah.
- [24:28]
B
We weren't gonna forget that.
- [24:29]
C
Okay. Can we talk about the. The Bedford collection? The Suzanne Casler Bedford collection? Yes. It is so, so pretty. It has such a. It's a woven collection, and it has a beautiful and subtle curve to it that is just really gorgeous. Really gorgeous.
- [24:51]
B
And that's. I mean, it's like, if you love that wicker, like traditional wicker, this is definitely for you. And it's done in the Suzanne way. It feels clean and refined and.
- [25:00]
C
Right.
- [25:00]
B
It does. It's not your 1980s with the big rolled arm of wicker. It's a very. It's very clean, lined for what.
- [25:07]
A
I do like the arm of it a lot.
- [25:08]
B
It's very elegant, but Biloxi is super fun for you guys listening. Still listening and wondering. Again, more rope and woven. It is a. It has this big, kind of open weave. It looks so good. It's very. It's a lot more modern feeling, but it scoops so nicely and sits so comfortably. Yeah, it's.
- [25:30]
A
It's shockingly comfortable.
- [25:32]
B
And you don't need.
- [25:32]
A
We did have it in the office for a while.
- [25:34]
C
Yeah.
- [25:35]
B
Sorry. Sorry.
- [25:36]
A
No, you.
- [25:36]
B
I know. We're.
- [25:37]
A
Go ahead.
- [25:38]
C
And we try to sit on everything.
- [25:39]
A
Yeah. No, I just. It. We. We haven't mentioned it's cushionless, so I think when you see that it's cushionless, you might. What. You might think that it's too concerned that it's not super comfortable, but it really is. And it has some give to it, so it's not, you know, like, sitting on plastic.
- [26:01]
B
It's nice.
- [26:02]
A
It has, like, a little give to the. The rope, so.
- [26:06]
B
And the frame is te. So, like, you'll see in the shot, it looks kind of like. Of course, it's that natural golden color right now, but, like, again, next season, it'll be slightly gray and match. Like, the weave, it's going to be like. Again, it's one of those. I think it's going to be prettier as it, like, ages some, too, outside.
- [26:20]
A
And the turn. I mean, I love the little turn top. It's a gray. And, like, the. The turning on the. The arms. It's just really pretty.
- [26:30]
B
Yeah.
- [26:31]
C
Okay. There's also the Athena collection from Suzanne Kasler, and that is a console and a dining table. So it is a really beautiful resin. They're made of resin. Right. The table, but it looks like stone.
- [26:51]
A
Is it resin, or is it one of those volcanic ash things?
- [26:56]
C
Volcanic ash might be too light, don't you think? Or maybe it's volcanic ash and resin.
- [27:01]
B
What does your copy say?
- [27:02]
C
I don't know what's inside of there.
- [27:04]
A
This is when we need Sarah Hall.
- [27:05]
C
This is the console, and it is. It's so pretty. It's so classic.
- [27:12]
B
Very traditional.
- [27:13]
C
It's.
- [27:14]
A
But again.
- [27:14]
B
But she cleans up.
- [27:15]
C
Where are you gonna find something like this?
- [27:17]
B
Like, you're not. No.
- [27:18]
C
Like, unless you're. Unless you're, like, scouring some antique halls. Like, I just think it's. Yeah, well, we do that for you.
- [27:28]
B
But, guys, this. I can't get over the outdoor rug collection this year.
- [27:34]
C
Oh, there are some great colors.
- [27:35]
B
There are some tons of patterns, tons of color. Like, you can really make your outdoor space feel so personal. And like, really layer look. I mean, this little Kelly performance rug with the squiggle. Come on, come on.
- [27:52]
C
It's a cute, cute little squiggle.
- [27:54]
B
And it's got a pile to it. Like, it is completely outdoor, but it's going to be super soft.
- [27:59]
C
I also want to talk about outdoor upholstery. Can we just, like.
- [28:03]
B
Sure.
- [28:03]
C
Talk about this for a second. We now have two outdoor upholstered sofa collections there. You just passed it. The Santa Clara and the Somerset collections. They are fully upholstered sofas and chairs that have marine grade teak underneath so they can be outside. Good for a covered porch. But, like, talk about living outside with an indoor look. I mean, it's really fantastic.
- [28:37]
B
It's. It is nice, all these products now there's just so much of that. It can live outside, it could live inside. I mean, even these outdoor rugs I speak of, if you love the pattern, like, doesn't mean they have to live outdoor. Right? They're so nice. You can bring them inside. Especially if there's a pile. It'll look. It won't look any different. And yet you could take it outside and bleach it. Like, love it. I don't know if that's what the Kabi says. Everyone be advised, do what the Internet says. Not me.
- [29:03]
A
Taryn's gonna bleach it.
- [29:05]
B
But.
- [29:05]
A
Yeah.
- [29:06]
B
What else did I write? Oh, outdoor guys. I have. We have these striped melamine plates. Yes, they are just striped, but they are so thick. They have such a great weight. I have the sample and they're blue and white. Striped are.
- [29:22]
A
Wait.
- [29:23]
B
I love all my food on them. Every time we eat on them. I'm telling you, it looks amazing.
- [29:29]
A
What?
- [29:29]
B
I know. It's like a little page. I don't know, it's. I'm not on a page. I'm just telling you.
- [29:35]
C
Oh, here we go. Page 91.
- [29:38]
B
Okay. Is it. I was gonna say. Let me.
- [29:39]
C
It's on Biloxi.
- [29:40]
B
I don't even know what the shot looks like. Okay. It is something subtle, but we did a layered plate with these little, like, lily of the valley. There's some plates that have lily of valley on them that kind of pair with them. I don't have those yet. But the striped plates in blue and white, I'm telling you, all summer long, you'll be eating on them and you'll be like, God, my food looks good. I don't know why. I know we always say food looks best on white, but there is something. I mean, I made like, lemon chicken the other day and had some bright yellow lemons. I was like, God, I just want to eat. It was a weird phenomenon. And it was just a striped plate. So if you were looking at them,
- [30:17]
A
you eat on them every day on the melamine.
- [30:20]
B
A lot. A lot we eat on melamine. Yeah. I think it's anytime we eat on our back deck, we pull out the melamine. And then having children, we use a lot of just. I don't have, like, the kid plates that have, like, dinosaurs. We just have pretty melamine that I want to see. Yeah. And that's a me household thing. And my boys are older, so, like, we could switch to plates. But I just love. We just have some really pretty melamine. And they're so thick.
- [30:44]
A
Yeah.
- [30:44]
B
Like, it doesn't feel like you're cheaping out either. So I just love it. So I fully. I know it's like a silly thing again with all the other product that we're talking about and all the other beautiful, amazing things, but you did ask me on. So here I am. Oh, and the striped mattes. Have you seen the art with the striped mats? Like, the picture.
- [31:04]
C
Oh, my gosh, the picture.
- [31:05]
A
Sorry, that took me a minute to show picture frames.
- [31:08]
B
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- [31:09]
A
Yeah, those are fun.
- [31:10]
B
Talk about again, a stripe. Just adding, like, those.
- [31:14]
C
The details in the matting just look so fantastic.
- [31:18]
A
We have a couple different art pieces with the pattern matte, and I do love how.
- [31:26]
C
Feels really cool.
- [31:27]
A
It's just so fun. I'm trying to find another example. Yeah, there's the. It's like a floral with a green stripe. And I think there's one. There's this, like, this guy. Yeah.
- [31:43]
C
Oh, yeah.
- [31:46]
B
Oh, and that bedding is striped with a floral.
- [31:48]
A
Yes. Oh, I do love the strip.
- [31:49]
B
Oh, I drew that bedding, but I don't remember the name.
- [31:52]
A
It is called Essie.
- [31:56]
B
Speaking of, more is more. Essie is one of those we developed because we kept noticing, again, the trend of, like, pattern on pattern. And, like, they're doing that within a fabric. And so then we played with the whole. What would it look like if we layered on? Like, what are the two layers we could put together? What would stripes look good with? And then we were kind of into the. Again, just these floral. You know, do we spread out? Do we make it so you can really read stripes, but a little bit more feminine? So.
- [32:21]
C
But there's also that stripe Draper that is in that room too, that has a little ruffle.
- [32:27]
B
Oh, my gosh. At the top, the ruffle, the flop over. Balance is so sweet. Very on trend.
- [32:33]
C
So, so sweet.
- [32:34]
B
Very on trend. You'll see it at a few different places. So I think the striped with that flop over, it gives a very relaxed, casual look Again, that whole, like, come, stay, like, nothing is too precious. Yeah. And I think that's just what is so nice about it, is it really reads cat, like, comfortable.
- [32:54]
C
There's a matching bed skirt, too, but,
- [32:56]
B
like, much like linen pants. That's better. Something very comfortable but still chic.
- [33:03]
C
It's a good travel set.
- [33:06]
B
It's a nice linen set. Yes, it does. Anyway, it is really pretty too, so. And it complements it so well. Yes.
- [33:15]
A
Flop over balance. I've never heard that term, but I like it. Yeah.
- [33:19]
B
I haven't googled it to see what comes up, but that's what it is.
- [33:22]
A
Okay, that's something you made up.
- [33:23]
B
Let's. Let's google while you look up. I've talked about, I mean, everything in the book. So you guys flop over.
- [33:31]
A
No, I. You were all into the outdoor rugs. I've been loving these pillow collections because to me, outdoor pillows feel harder than indoor pillows.
- [33:44]
C
They are.
- [33:45]
A
And I'm not entirely sure why, because they shouldn't be. But I love the way we've shown them them in groupings. And you could kind of like pick two or three. Right.
- [33:54]
C
And change them out.
- [33:55]
B
The.
- [33:55]
C
I love the large Greek key pillow. Oh, my gosh.
- [33:57]
A
I'm obsessed with that one. I need two of those. So cool.
- [34:01]
C
But then I tassel. Oh, they do have a tassel.
- [34:04]
A
Tassel fringe.
- [34:05]
B
Like, I just think is the fact that there's these perfect groupings. Like, you're like, I'm. I. I have bloom white stripe. I have the blue. I have the cornflour and white stripe. Yeah. And I truly was trying to pick which one I wanted to purchase because I love the green and blue gingham as well.
- [34:20]
A
Gail is cute.
- [34:21]
B
Gail.
- [34:21]
C
Gail is so cute. Yeah. The green and blue gingham. And then there's another colorway that's just like a brown and taupe. That is so pretty that we. We put on a banquette.
- [34:34]
B
Yes.
- [34:35]
C
And it just. It looks so fresh and so fresh.
- [34:39]
A
Weird but familiar.
- [34:40]
C
Yeah. Yeah.
- [34:42]
B
Comfortable. Like maybe a linen set. No.
- [34:45]
A
Sweatpants.
- [34:46]
B
Sweatpants. Sorry, I went the wrong.
- [34:47]
A
I went too.
- [34:47]
B
I went way too wrong there.
- [34:50]
A
Sorry.
- [34:51]
B
Swe. I don't think anyone wants their living
- [34:54]
A
room to be described as sweatpants. Yeah, no, I was trying to think
- [34:57]
B
of what if you need to put something on your window that was sweatpants. What would it Be Okay.
- [35:02]
A
It would be those, like, vertical blinds. It would be the sweatpants of the window.
- [35:09]
B
It would be plastic blinds that you twist. Yes. That your dog hits once and it's, like, ripped, so there's, like, a few rips in them. That is a good pair of comfortable ones. Yeah.
- [35:20]
A
Yeah, those are.
- [35:21]
B
You don't leave your house like, those are.
- [35:23]
A
Yeah. You only put them in rooms no one goes into.
- [35:26]
B
Not
- [35:28]
C
sidebar. Conversation we need to have is about sweatpants that look like jeans. We will discuss later what this is
- [35:35]
A
a thing that's a sweatpants that look
- [35:37]
B
like jeans, and they look like jeans.
- [35:39]
A
Wait, do we like this or no?
- [35:40]
C
I don't know.
- [35:40]
B
I'm getting catch by sweatpants now.
- [35:43]
C
I don't know, but there are. There are sweatpants that really look like jeans. They're. They're, like, printed with denim.
- [35:50]
A
No.
- [35:50]
C
Some. I, I, Yeah, I don't.
- [35:53]
A
I haven't seen them, but that's a no.
- [35:55]
C
It keeps happening.
- [36:00]
B
Jokes on you. She, like, stands up like, you know what?
- [36:04]
A
I want a denim that's at, like, 100% cotton. I want it to, like, be.
- [36:08]
B
You want it?
- [36:09]
C
No, I like a good, thick, sturdy denim.
- [36:11]
A
I don't want denim.
- [36:12]
B
Yeah, you want.
- [36:13]
C
You don't want sweatpants.
- [36:14]
B
Like, Levi style. I feel like Levis are still, like. Yeah.
- [36:18]
A
Thick.
- [36:18]
B
Yeah. Then I don't think these sweatpants jeans are for you.
- [36:21]
A
If that's the case. That's why I said.
- [36:23]
C
That's why I'm saying this is cyber conversation. We will take this offline.
- [36:25]
B
We're not even taking it offline. It's here. This was an. This was a bonus episode, so they're getting the bonus. Anyway. Yes. The. The outdoor section. Really? The scallop with the trim. Those pillows are beautiful.
- [36:40]
A
Yes.
- [36:41]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we are just. There is a. A lot to elevate, like, your spaces for out from outdoor to indoors. It's definitely the time right now is that, like, as everything is coming out, guys, like, time to do it. Like, I also.
- [36:56]
A
You know what? I feel like this is kind of a sleeper, but I love this horizontal stripe outdoor drapery panel. You know, everyone has the, the vertical stripes and the vertical, like, canopy stripes are a classic. Right. But I really like the. It's called the halyard stripe, and it's just like a double stripe, but it goes horizontally. And I just think it's. It's.
- [37:19]
B
It's the fringe edge.
- [37:20]
A
It feels designery.
- [37:21]
B
Yeah. Doesn't have a little fringy edge.
- [37:23]
A
No, the fringe edge is separate.
- [37:25]
C
Oh, that's a separate. That's a separate.
- [37:27]
A
It's confusing.
- [37:28]
B
Now I gotta buy two.
- [37:29]
C
Yeah, yeah, it's confusing because we, we shot them both together to kind of show everything going on. But. Yeah, no, the halyard stripe is really pretty.
- [37:38]
A
I just think it.
- [37:39]
B
Tomorrow morning is knocking. Stock your fridge now. How about a creamy mocha frappuccino drink? Or a sweet vanilla smooth caramel maybe? Or white chocolate mocha. Whichever you choose, delicious coffee awaits. Find Starbucks Frappuccino drinks wherever you buy your groceries
- [37:56]
A
is the same effect, but in a more elevated way than the canopy stripe, which I love, but feels
- [38:08]
C
more
- [38:11]
A
resorty, I guess. And then the horizontal stripe to me feels more like custom and designer, I guess. I don't know why.
- [38:20]
B
I think it's that whole, like, it's just fresh looking because your eye has seen the vertical for so long that the horizontal.
- [38:26]
C
Yeah.
- [38:27]
B
Maybe that's another point that I didn't bring up is we loved the Chippendale chair. We've had forever, Dana. So much that we were like, what else? What else can we do with it? And we have created a bed, a Dana bed.
- [38:41]
A
It's gorgeous.
- [38:42]
B
It is beautiful. It is beautiful. There'll be more case to come with that. But if you guys were loving the chairs, already have the chairs and still love them. This bed you are going to love. It's beautiful.
- [38:54]
A
I mean, it's called Dana and it does have that bamboo, like, detail. But this is really, really special. I mean, I love the.
- [39:07]
B
I don't even know how to describe it. It's all hand. I mean, those little turnings are all hand carved like the.
- [39:11]
A
But I love the top. I love the little like cutout on the side, the clipped corners. It just, it's really, really well done. Y' all did an incredible job. It's a gorgeous bed.
- [39:22]
C
Okay. There's another, like, bamboo inspired chair, though. There's the Andrea armchair that has been. That is bamboo that has some really beautiful detailing on the back. A little circle and X that goes through it.
- [39:39]
B
Oh, yes. Yes. Yeah. You have a picture of the radio.
- [39:43]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [39:45]
C
I, I feel like that is so pretty and so classic.
- [39:49]
B
I think the visual backs on chairs are so popular right now just because again, they give a lot of impact when you walk in a space instead of there just being like a, A, a solid toned chair. Like a Parsons. You're not going to get a lot in that. Which sometimes is important. And it depends, of course, in the pattern, blah, blah. But that chair is just, you can tell it is nicely made and beautiful.
- [40:13]
C
Very pretty.
- [40:14]
B
Again, who doesn't have.
- [40:15]
A
We talked about our custom rug or our customizable sized rugs on the podcast before.
- [40:21]
C
I don't know if we have. But we have. Have nine new patterns this season. So we now have 12 total patterns of customizable rugs or custom sized rugs. And they're pretty amazing. It's pretty amazing because you can customize the size by foot.
- [40:39]
A
Yes.
- [40:40]
C
All the way up to 12 by 15ft.
- [40:43]
B
It's amazing. I need to order the rugs.
- [40:45]
A
I think you can do 15 by 15ft.
- [40:47]
C
You can do 15 by 15. We're not, we're not.
- [40:50]
A
Not sure. I, I feel like I tried check it out online. But you know what? Someone was messaging me about they wanted a runner, but they needed it to be bigger than a normal runner. And you could do that. You could do like a 2 or 3 foot wide by 15ft foot long runner.
- [41:08]
C
Oh, that's brilliant.
- [41:09]
A
So that you could get exactly the size you need.
- [41:12]
C
Right.
- [41:12]
A
You know.
- [41:13]
C
Right. That's really great for a runner.
- [41:15]
A
So especially for, you know, if you're in like newer houses, their hallways end up being closer to four feet. So a two and a half foot runner is kind of small. So the four foot runner, like you could do a three foot or three or four foot runner and by 15ft
- [41:32]
C
and that would be. Yeah.
- [41:33]
A
Sort of fill out the hall a little better.
- [41:35]
C
Anyway, the patterns are really nice and very neutral. So they also look great. If you do a larger one and then put a, a another, layer it with another rug too. That always looks good too.
- [41:47]
B
Yeah, they're so good.
- [41:50]
A
One of my other favorite products that we haven't talked about is this Bruno kitchen pantry. I have been sort of.
- [41:59]
C
Let's talk about it.
- [42:00]
B
Toying with putting this in my little dark Caroline.
- [42:03]
A
Huh?
- [42:03]
B
It looks like a U piece.
- [42:04]
A
It does it? Yeah. I mean, I really like the gold with the gold. It's a good narrow size, which I've been looking for.
- [42:13]
B
We love a kitchen pantry. If you have an ect, that is it the Briggs? No, the Briggs is pretty too.
- [42:19]
A
Oh.
- [42:20]
C
The bricks is more of like an appliance kind of.
- [42:22]
A
See, I don't really.
- [42:22]
C
Oh, Bruno. Oh, yeah.
- [42:23]
A
We call it a kitchen pantry, but to me it's just like a hutch.
- [42:27]
C
It is. That is a very Caroline piece, but
- [42:31]
B
it has that open, beautiful metal work.
- [42:33]
A
Yeah.
- [42:33]
B
So you really, again, you can display things in there if you want or if you are going to keep like your potatoes and your. They all.
- [42:41]
A
Oh.
- [42:41]
B
What?
- [42:42]
A
It's a Potato.
- [42:43]
B
That's beanie's air. Yep.
- [42:46]
A
Potatoes.
- [42:48]
B
Okay, well, I was in the kitchen, and I'm sorry, is that not what
- [42:53]
A
you're putting in your pantry?
- [42:54]
C
Potatoes?
- [42:55]
A
No, I was just picturing you're like, if you need to display something like a potato.
- [43:02]
B
Well, if you're really proud of your potatoes.
- [43:08]
A
I don't know.
- [43:09]
C
I do feel like that's a kitchen trend, though, too, to, like, have the wire mesh.
- [43:13]
A
Yeah.
- [43:14]
C
In drawers and stuff for your potatoes.
- [43:17]
B
Thank you. Thank you.
- [43:19]
A
Am I supposed to be airing out my potatoes?
- [43:22]
B
Yeah. Where are you keeping them?
- [43:23]
A
Just on the counter.
- [43:24]
B
How dare you? You got me putting them in this beautiful cabinet.
- [43:28]
A
Oh, God.
- [43:30]
B
Sounds like you need an upgrade. No, we do actually need to talk about this bridge storage cabinet.
- [43:36]
A
Okay.
- [43:36]
C
Yeah.
- [43:37]
B
And this kitchen island. Oh, my gosh.
- [43:39]
C
Oh, my gosh. That's. That's where I feel like that's.
- [43:41]
A
Look at that.
- [43:42]
C
The other one was more Caroline style, and that one's more my style.
- [43:45]
B
Yes, it is a gorgeous peacock.
- [43:48]
C
Yes.
- [43:48]
B
The little poles have a beautiful, itty bitty scallop. They match the little knobs. Has this beautiful little vent so you can have your. Yes. Your. Your potatoes.
- [44:01]
C
Your potatoes in there.
- [44:02]
B
I was more thinking espresso machine and coffee machine. There's a little lip for your mug. Like, this is, like, such a little. If you've been thinking about having a coffee bar, this is the perfect little station for you. Or if you wanted to make it into a bar. Like, it has the marble top on it. It has all the storage for your potatoes. If you don't want to display them
- [44:22]
A
the way you all done. The hinge is really nice as well.
- [44:24]
B
Those are folds.
- [44:25]
A
I know that. That sounds so lame. It's got such a hinge.
- [44:29]
C
It has a really good.
- [44:29]
B
Tell me your age.
- [44:31]
C
They're not telling me your age.
- [44:33]
B
Did you see the beautiful hinge on that piece? It is very true. It has a very pretty hinge. Yeah, has.
- [44:40]
A
And more importantly, it just. It folds all the way back. So is that called piano hinge?
- [44:45]
B
This one is technically. No.
- [44:47]
A
Oh, okay.
- [44:48]
B
This is just called a dumble hinge in this case, because we just made sure the. The doors bifold and go back so that they. So you can keep it open. Like, if you're serving drinks and you have made this into a bar for the evening, and you got your wine and the wine glasses all so everyone get their own drink. This is perfect. Or if, again, you're serving coffee in the morning, you're. You have guests and you're like, oh, don't worry. I've pre made the coffee. It's on the counter. I'll be ready when you get up. Just go over to the little server and it's the perfect. It's so sweet. So sweet. I just want like a English cottage.
- [45:20]
C
How thoughtful you are when you build these things too, Taryn. Because when you're designing these, you're like putting in all the little holes for the cords to go through and for.
- [45:31]
B
They didn't want to leave you hanging when you're like, well, now how do I plug in my thing? So, yes, there's lots of cord management so that you plug in your items in here, so. Or your margarita machine, if it fits. Just make sure you don't get the big one.
- [45:45]
C
Yeah, just the little slushy one.
- [45:47]
B
Yeah, just a little. Your ice cream maker. What if this is your ice cream bar? I mean, world's your oyster right here. You could be making potatoes.
- [45:57]
A
Potato bar.
- [45:58]
B
You can put the bowls around the edge and then like serve the mash and then you'll have all your little toppings. I see.
- [46:05]
C
Gosh, this episode we have solving problems
- [46:08]
B
and we're not even drinking. We're just soberly doing this, which is even more impressive. Okay, we've talked for like an hour about a whole lot.
- [46:16]
A
Yes.
- [46:17]
B
We have to stop. Do you have more on your list?
- [46:20]
A
No, no, no, no. I. I do think we've covered it.
- [46:22]
B
No, well, we haven't. I know there's more products we went
- [46:24]
C
over, but there really are. There really are so many really fantastic new fabrics. Tricks. Like.
- [46:30]
A
Here is how I suggest we wrap up. Okay, I want everyone to go around and tell me what was on your shopping list and what you're actually gonna buy from this collection, if anything.
- [46:39]
B
Oh, I can definitely go.
- [46:42]
A
Okay.
- [46:42]
B
And definitely buy more of those melamine plates because again, they look so good on my teak table. Have to get those. I know that's silly. I'm buying that porch swing. I want to do the custom rugs and the custom drapery. The Roman shades. Sorry. Because I think both of them.
- [46:58]
A
Sweatpant curtains.
- [47:00]
B
My sweatpant curtains. No, that's the flop over balance. The flopover balance. I love those, but I don't know. I don't think about what.
- [47:07]
A
Okay. Yeah, you're Roman shades.
- [47:09]
B
Yeah, Roman shades. And I think the custom runners I definitely want in my upstairs hallway. So those are definitely items that I import purchasing that we talked through.
- [47:19]
A
Liz, what about you?
- [47:20]
C
Awesome. Well, I think definitely the Carson Brighton bar cart, the rope bar cart. That Is on. That's high on my list. I need a new outdoor umbrella. And we have some really fantastic, great shapes going on with umbrellas right now. And then just something little is. We have a faux orange plant in Ishinoiserie vase that is just so charming. So. Yeah, so that's where I'm going.
- [47:50]
A
Love it.
- [47:51]
C
What about you, Caroline?
- [47:53]
A
Well, I mentioned that Violette Chartreuse bedding collection, so I. You know, my bedroom's dark blue, and I have a pillow that has some chartreuse on it, but I feel like that chartreuse looks so good in a navy room. And so I'm gonna do some. I need some shams and a new duvet cover, so I'm gonna do that. And I might get it monogrammed.
- [48:16]
C
Nice.
- [48:17]
A
But we'll see. I'm sort of debating whether to monogram the shams or not. I love a monogram. But then I also feel like, is that too much? I don't know. And then I also really want one of those little green candles with the tea lights. Hat on. I've been meaning to order them.
- [48:34]
B
The little one with the stars.
- [48:36]
C
No, no, no. The.
- [48:37]
B
The little.
- [48:38]
A
The candle with the hat on.
- [48:40]
B
Yeah, it's. It's. It's stars, sage, and has little cutouts. No.
- [48:45]
A
Oh, but I love that one too. Oh, I love the little tea light. No, no, I'm talking about the.
- [48:49]
B
Oh, I love those little baby.
- [48:51]
A
I do love those, too.
- [48:53]
B
Based off this little antique in Paris they had. And it had this little shade that had stars cutouts.
- [48:58]
A
It's so cute. I kind of. I don't have anywhere any need for them, but I do kind of want them because they're one of those, like, cheap and cheerful kind of things, you know? Like, they're not. They're not expensive, but how cute. No, I'm talking about the. The. You know, the tortoise candle fall. And then we have the new green color.
- [49:17]
B
Yes. I call it a mushroom room.
- [49:19]
A
Oh, okay.
- [49:19]
B
I know. You call it a candle with a hat.
- [49:22]
C
It's technically called a candle lamp, so. So it's a little. It's a little. It's a small little.
- [49:29]
A
Yeah, you're doing one of these.
- [49:30]
C
Of a candle with. With a little glass shade that goes on top. You can take.
- [49:36]
A
What?
- [49:36]
B
That's confusing.
- [49:37]
A
You're right. And this. You take.
- [49:38]
B
You take the shade off of these little tea lights. Put your tea light in.
- [49:42]
A
This also could be a candle with a hat. Yay.
- [49:45]
C
That is a little candle with a hat. Yes.
- [49:46]
A
Yes.
- [49:47]
B
Thank you. Okay. I Just think the star cut out on it makes it the most pret.
- [49:51]
A
It absolutely is.
- [49:52]
C
I love that. I'm glad you called that out, because I missed that guy completely.
- [49:58]
A
We need it in about.
- [49:59]
B
He's on a tablescape. Yeah, I know. But that sage, to start, is fabulous.
- [50:04]
C
That is really, really lovely.
- [50:06]
B
It's going to look so good.
- [50:08]
A
Yeah. I might actually add that to my list. Okay. Yep. You sold me. Got it.
- [50:11]
C
Okay, Done.
- [50:12]
A
And I also might get that Greek key blue and spa pillow I do want.
- [50:16]
B
I'm going to buy some more outdoor pillows because I only have this one. Yeah. I only have the cornflower and white stripe. And I truly need another pattern. Like, we're too boring with one pattern. We need more.
- [50:25]
A
So which one are you going to do? I don't know.
- [50:27]
B
There's so many.
- [50:28]
A
I really like this block print T1. It doesn't really go with what I've got already.
- [50:35]
B
But don't you love when you're like, I think I need to change my whole outdoor scheme. That happens about once every three years for me, and I'm like, I need a full pivot.
- [50:44]
A
Well, the. One of the nice things is that for some of our outdoor pillows, you can just do the COVID Cover. And so I'll just get the COVID and then put them over the old ones that I have, you know?
- [50:53]
B
Yeah.
- [50:55]
C
I feel like that's a newer thing that we've been doing.
- [50:57]
A
Yes.
- [50:58]
C
Is the outdoor pillows with just the COVID Yeah. So you can cover up the pillows that you already have.
- [51:03]
B
Brilliant.
- [51:05]
C
I love it.
- [51:05]
A
Because then when you're like me and you get tired of it. Yeah. You get sucked in by a new color palette. I'm like, I don't have to buy all new ones and then figure out where to store them. I get just.
- [51:16]
C
Yeah.
- [51:16]
A
You know.
- [51:17]
B
Preach.
- [51:18]
A
Add the COVID on. Okay.
- [51:19]
C
Okay. And if anybody's following along with everything we've talked about, you can.
- [51:23]
A
If anyone's still here. Bless you.
- [51:24]
B
I would actually like to give them thanks for joining. A prize for getting this far. You can have a tea light. Call me.
- [51:32]
C
Or a potato.
- [51:33]
B
Yeah. I'll send you a potato. Or a tea light.
- [51:38]
A
Okay. Those tea lights are really cute. I'm like, oh, my nose.
- [51:40]
B
To.
- [51:41]
C
Okay. Yeah, those are whatever. Like, cute.
- [51:42]
