Speaker 1:
[00:30] Now on with the show. Okay, welcome back, listeners. We have a special bonus episode for you today. I'm gonna give you fair warning that we're gonna be jumping all over the place because we're kind of just spitballing here. So, tuck in.

Speaker 3:
[00:46] And we're getting lost in our own catalog here. Like we sat here quiet for a good minute, just like flipping through our own catalog. Yeah, so.

Speaker 1:
[00:55] This is very true. Yes, but basically, we're gonna talk all about our newest collection, our spring, summer, 2026 collection. Had to think about the year for a second there, woof. But we're gonna talk about all our new products, the inspiration for the collection, some things that are standing out to us, and we're just gonna chit chat.

Speaker 3:
[01:17] Love it.

Speaker 1:
[01:18] We're just gonna yap, right?

Speaker 3:
[01:20] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[01:20] Well, and we've already introduced this slightly because we talked our trends that we were kind of like gravitating towards.

Speaker 1:
[01:26] True.

Speaker 2:
[01:26] 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.

Speaker 1:
[01:36] And we have talked about Carson. We've covered Carson.

Speaker 2:
[01:38] 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. It's 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 said that on repeat. Objects with patina, lots of things with ruffles and embellishments and stripes being such a strong motif 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 you can't go to any store right now without running into woven lampshade, rattan, piece of furniture. We continue to love that natural material and the way the artisans are creating any object. I mean, we have so many little quirky things ourselves that have come out. We have a little snail basket, you know.

Speaker 3:
[02:47] Oh my god.

Speaker 1:
[02:48] We're talking about the snail basket. It's so cute.

Speaker 2:
[02:52] 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 season just really speaks to all those things, you know, and gives this really true life of living things, if that makes sense. Yeah. It's truly living.

Speaker 3:
[03:24] 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.

Speaker 2:
[03:33] Yeah. Like woven scallop table.

Speaker 3:
[03:35] The woven, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[03:37] Like the shapes they can leave.

Speaker 3:
[03:39] It is a great size. It's what, 30 or 36 inches? I don't have to direct dimensions, but.

Speaker 1:
[03:45] I'll look while you're talking.

Speaker 2:
[03:46] It's meant to be a little like entry.

Speaker 3:
[03:48] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[03:48] In that moment.

Speaker 3:
[03:49] It is so sweet. It is so nice. And like 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.

Speaker 2:
[04:03] I think Vera Bed, too.

Speaker 3:
[04:05] Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2:
[04:06] Vena?

Speaker 3:
[04:07] Veda.

Speaker 2:
[04:07] Veda.

Speaker 3:
[04:08] Veda.

Speaker 2:
[04:09] We got it, guys.

Speaker 3:
[04:09] Veda. I know. Things go through many gaming processes here. But Veda is so pretty.

Speaker 2:
[04:17] Yes. If you guys are looking for like a wow moment for a room, this bed, it 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.

Speaker 1:
[04:39] The scalloped skirt on the bottom is so cute, because you could have easily just done the headboard, but the skirt makes it.

Speaker 2:
[04:47] The skirt makes it.

Speaker 1:
[04:48] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[04:49] You don't have to buy any kind of bed skirt. It is like on built-in.

Speaker 1:
[04:54] Can I tell y'all how much I love having a... Well, I have an upholstered bed, right? But having the skirted or the upholstered rails, to me, I mean, the 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, it just makes you move so much easier.

Speaker 3:
[05:21] Yeah. Anyway, they're really nice.

Speaker 1:
[05:25] If you can sacrifice the storage, then I highly recommend.

Speaker 3:
[05:31] But there's so much more. Okay, let's get back to woven, because there's so much more woven. There's the Rhea bar cart that has the rattan, and it has a beautiful curve to the top. The bar cabinet.

Speaker 2:
[05:43] We know our bar, I guess.

Speaker 1:
[05:44] We're all over the place.

Speaker 2:
[05:45] No, I'm like at the bar.

Speaker 3:
[05:47] It's boozy.

Speaker 1:
[05:47] It's basically a new size of the Rhea sideboard. Yes.

Speaker 3:
[05:52] So it matches into that, but it's a really lovely height, too.

Speaker 1:
[05:56] Yeah, it is.

Speaker 2:
[05:57] It's good for actually 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 that sense of like, you can make your cocktail on that surface.

Speaker 1:
[06:09] But I also love the way we've styled it, and here it's got this fabulous sort of Jacobean wallpaper with this new mirror that's kind of like a dressier atoll 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 atoll, but it's more feminine and more dressy.

Speaker 2:
[06:37] 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 because it's so hand made, but.

Speaker 1:
[07:11] I mean, they're rattan.

Speaker 2:
[07:12] Mm-hmm, they're rattan, so it's such a good way to bring in a little bit of artisan truly.

Speaker 3:
[07:19] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[07:21] Okay, so.

Speaker 3:
[07:22] There are so many good woven mirrors too.

Speaker 2:
[07:24] Oh no, we went hard.

Speaker 3:
[07:26] We went hard. Okay, can we, and can we also talk about the Henry console?

Speaker 1:
[07:31] Oh yeah, that one's pretty.

Speaker 3:
[07:32] So this is a woven wrapped console.

Speaker 2:
[07:37] It's 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, the finishing finishes. That gives again, that just more layering.

Speaker 3:
[08:10] Yeah. I saw that in our store recently too, and it was just wow. It's really a wow moment on that console.

Speaker 1:
[08:17] I almost, y'all, there's so many good things that I had kind of forgotten about that console, because there's so much.

Speaker 3:
[08:23] There's so much.

Speaker 1:
[08:24] I'm like, oh yeah, that one is good.

Speaker 3:
[08:26] Okay, but going off of rope, I feel like there are rope details too, that are carved like in the Ramona dining chair.

Speaker 1:
[08:35] Oh yes, that one's pretty.

Speaker 3:
[08:37] That has this really beautiful rope detail.

Speaker 1:
[08:39] The tassel feet kills me.

Speaker 3:
[08:41] Oh my gosh, right?

Speaker 2:
[08:44] Yeah, 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 details.

Speaker 3:
[08:55] That tassel bar cart is everything. That's in my shopping cart.

Speaker 1:
[09:00] Okay, you know what that looks like to me?

Speaker 2:
[09:03] What?

Speaker 1:
[09:04] It looks like the little, I think of like Aladdin.

Speaker 3:
[09:08] Oh, it totally looks like the magic carpet.

Speaker 1:
[09:11] The magic carpet has this little rope.

Speaker 3:
[09:13] Right. Feet. And there's so much personality in the tassels of the magic carpet.

Speaker 2:
[09:19] And this was based off an antique that Carson had found and brought to us.

Speaker 1:
[09:22] So he wasn't watching Aladdin?

Speaker 3:
[09:25] He may have been watching Aladdin.

Speaker 2:
[09:27] He didn't say that's what he was watching, but was he?

Speaker 1:
[09:30] Obviously, you know what season of life I'm in, that's my point of reference.

Speaker 3:
[09:35] When you're referencing Disney movies? Yeah. But there's also the Torino Bookcase.

Speaker 1:
[09:41] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[09:42] It's another carved rope detail.

Speaker 1:
[09:44] You did your homework. Thank you.

Speaker 3:
[09:46] I flipped it. I'm a little familiar with the catalog. But OK, the Torino Bookcase, that is another one that in the photography, it looked great. We put it along a wall and we moused it out behind a dining room. Again, I saw it in person and was just blown away by the quality.

Speaker 1:
[10:08] Yeah. I mean, that's a really-

Speaker 2:
[10:11] It's a looker.

Speaker 1:
[10:11] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[10:12] It made me start to think, where do I need an extra bookcase? I don't need an extra bookcase, but I maybe need an extra bookcase.

Speaker 1:
[10:18] The skinny bookcase would be so easy to put on this anywhere. Because it's a real small footprint. We're not real small, but it's a smaller footprint, so we could put it in between two windows or in a little corner or something.

Speaker 3:
[10:32] Or a hallway. Yeah, it definitely can go a lot more places, but it's a lot of look. It's really beautiful.

Speaker 1:
[10:43] 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 thought, this would be a great element to work into lots of pieces? Which side is it coming from, I guess?

Speaker 2:
[11:08] It's both. The teams work together. We're both seeing a lot of the same things and going to a lot of the same show houses and really as a team trying to talk about those themes and textures. My team leads it off, but merchandising is very involved in that, and their point of view too of like, does this work is really important because we can of course get kind of crazy as designers. 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 not real rope. In some of those cases, in one of the cases, it's not that entry is true rope. But again, just another trick to get texture. Truly into a space.

Speaker 1:
[11:57] Yeah. Okay, sorry. I just flipped to this page right here. And y'all, the Victoria's Secretary. I am obsessed with this piece. It's so smart. I wish I had a place for it, quite frankly.

Speaker 2:
[12:10] 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 desk chair. And it had the top cabinet open with the television because there 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.

Speaker 1:
[12:45] And you can fit a pretty good TV in there.

Speaker 2:
[12:47] Yeah, I can't. Yeah, 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 do your bedroom with like an office, this is a great way to do it because you're hiding all of that away.

Speaker 3:
[13:07] Yeah, all the things that you don't want to see. The hutch that hides the television is so beautiful.

Speaker 2:
[13:12] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[13:13] And you would never know that a TV is behind there.

Speaker 2:
[13:17] Yeah. And it looks like a true antique. Like the finish does too. It is a rubbed finish. It's stunning. Yeah. You can tell one person came and did the first coat, there was a second coat, somebody rubbed it down, the third coat, it's beautiful.

Speaker 1:
[13:32] We have it shown in the living room. Yeah, 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 have mixed feelings about a TV in a bedroom just because you want it.

Speaker 2:
[13:49] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[13:49] Because you want to be able to watch TV in bed, but being able to tuck it away and hide it is certainly nice.

Speaker 2:
[13:57] Yeah, it's definitely a great choice.

Speaker 1:
[13:58] I just think your team did an incredible job designing it to where it is, it would be hard to convince someone that it's not an antique. It's that well done.

Speaker 2:
[14:10] Yeah, that's our wonderful sourcing team who works with our beautiful vendors.

Speaker 1:
[14:16] Even the little pull drawers and the fluting on the front, I mean, it's just really pretty.

Speaker 2:
[14:21] Yeah, fluting again, another way to make sure. Yes, we're still hot for fluting on stripes.

Speaker 3:
[14:28] 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 design.

Speaker 1:
[14:39] They're more interesting.

Speaker 3:
[14:41] Yeah, but without saying, hey, look at me, I'm interesting.

Speaker 2:
[14:45] 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.

Speaker 3:
[14:53] Yeah, the Meris Office collection.

Speaker 1:
[14:55] So pretty.

Speaker 3:
[14:56] It's stunning.

Speaker 2:
[14:57] It's got a nice medium-level brown stain over the beautiful burl. So again, it reads just really rich. This is going to feel like it's going to feel that way, very elegant.

Speaker 1:
[15:11] I love the little hidden pullout.

Speaker 3:
[15:14] Yeah, it has little wing trays on either side of the-

Speaker 2:
[15:19] If you need more space.

Speaker 1:
[15:20] Such a pretty detail.

Speaker 2:
[15:21] It allows you to really have a desk, again, in a more petite space if you need. But then if you end up overflowing, you can just pop out those two sides.

Speaker 3:
[15:29] I overflow.

Speaker 1:
[15:31] I do.

Speaker 3:
[15:32] But it's also so beautiful, and the burl feels rich and masculine, but the shape of the desk has these beautiful shaped, elegant legs that feel very feminine. It's a really beautiful marriage of all of the different things.

Speaker 1:
[15:53] Yeah. It could go in a man's office or you could go either way with it really.

Speaker 2:
[15:59] 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, by the way. But it's a great-looking little piece for sure. So anyway, burl. We talked about fluting burl. Again, stripes. They're everywhere from melamine to-

Speaker 1:
[16:26] Well, we skipped over color a little bit, but to me, I am loving the little touches of lavender.

Speaker 3:
[16:33] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[16:34] I feel like we've been really focused on green for a while. Obviously, blue is always there, but we've been doing a lot more green recently. But the green we've used in this season is more yellowy, I would say.

Speaker 3:
[16:51] Yeah. It's a little bit more apple.

Speaker 1:
[16:54] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[16:54] Like sour apple type of.

Speaker 1:
[16:56] 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'm obsessed with it.

Speaker 3:
[17:10] And look, we've got a pedestal with rope detail in the corner.

Speaker 1:
[17:14] We've got a what? Oh, a pedestal.

Speaker 3:
[17:15] A pedestal that has the rope carved. That's great, too. But the purple just goes so well with the green. And that purple e-cat is just really fantastic.

Speaker 2:
[17:29] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[17:31] There's also a new bedding collection that has a chartreuse green colorway and I've been-

Speaker 2:
[17:37] Oh, are you thinking about it?

Speaker 1:
[17:39] Well, it's been in my cart. I have to actually 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 the queen of chartreuse.

Speaker 2:
[17:56] That is very kind to say. Should I be appreciating the fact that a shade of almost acidic green is my color? But yes, I love it. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[18:06] I love it.

Speaker 2:
[18:06] And I mean, even this front shot. It's got again that very yellow toned green that is 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.

Speaker 1:
[18:22] Not the pollen.

Speaker 2:
[18:23] But maybe during the fall.

Speaker 3:
[18:24] I mean, it may be. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[18:26] Pollen does give that nice yellow glow to everything.

Speaker 3:
[18:28] To everything.

Speaker 2:
[18:29] It could be us down here.

Speaker 3:
[18:30] Yeah. Right now, I just feel like it's my porch or my car, but yeah.

Speaker 2:
[18:35] Yes, that's very true.

Speaker 3:
[18:37] But I also love this, okay. Can we talk about the skirt on this bench? It is so precious. I love the mix of the green with the Freya Multi Fabric on the pillows and on the drapery panels.

Speaker 2:
[18:59] A skirt hides so much too. Oh, a skirt has hide. Do you know how much you can put under them?

Speaker 3:
[19:04] That's a good call.

Speaker 2:
[19:06] As a person who is shoving stuff, I could definitely...

Speaker 3:
[19:09] You know what? But you'd never know that she's shoving anything in here.

Speaker 2:
[19:13] I mean, there could be... I mean, hold... Keep all your dinnerware under there. Just pop it out.

Speaker 1:
[19:18] You know what I just remembered is this new rope-wrapped light fixture with the tassel detail.

Speaker 3:
[19:26] Yeah, that is pretty light.

Speaker 1:
[19:27] It's called Regina. And I think it is such a great size. And I love the little...

Speaker 2:
[19:35] She's got a good classic, like thin...

Speaker 1:
[19:37] Her little brass tassel thing. It's so cute, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[19:40] The brass tassel, the natural weave over it.

Speaker 3:
[19:43] It's a beautiful...

Speaker 1:
[19:44] It's a good shape.

Speaker 3:
[19:45] Traditional shape, but with a modern twist. And I love that.

Speaker 1:
[19:51] I love how exaggerated the shape is. Anyway, it's really pretty.

Speaker 3:
[19:57] So many good things for our homes indoors. Should we talk about outdoors?

Speaker 1:
[20:03] Okay, wait.

Speaker 3:
[20:04] Oh, you got more.

Speaker 2:
[20:05] No.

Speaker 3:
[20:05] Okay, we're not ready yet. We're not ready.

Speaker 1:
[20:08] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[20:08] Yeah, keep going.

Speaker 1:
[20:10] Our Roman Shade, our new Roman Shades.

Speaker 3:
[20:12] Oh, my golly.

Speaker 2:
[20:13] I don't think we've truly rolled that out as a PR thing.

Speaker 1:
[20:18] Well, we've got two right now. So we're kind of still in the...

Speaker 2:
[20:21] Because I think it's coming. More is coming.

Speaker 1:
[20:23] Yes, more is coming.

Speaker 3:
[20:24] More is coming.

Speaker 1:
[20:25] This is a stocked Roman Shade. There's a flat with a contrast border, and there's a relaxed with a contrast border. What page are you on?

Speaker 2:
[20:38] Just kidding.

Speaker 1:
[20:38] 45.

Speaker 2:
[20:39] Thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[20:42] Just a great, simple piece that kind of goes anywhere, you know?

Speaker 3:
[20:49] 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, is so easy.

Speaker 2:
[21:06] We talk about Roman shades all the time. They're so great.

Speaker 3:
[21:08] They're so great.

Speaker 2:
[21:09] And they look great.

Speaker 1:
[21:11] You know what you need to do is you need to add a tassel to your drapery hardware.

Speaker 3:
[21:17] We do.

Speaker 2:
[21:19] We have some really fun stuff coming. You guys are going to lose it. It will be something in a good way. Like it looks so good. Just wait.

Speaker 3:
[21:29] Okay. Don't worry. You'll be.

Speaker 1:
[21:31] Well, gosh. I'm going to wait a year for it. Thanks a lot. Maybe more. What are you designing right now? What are you working on right now? What year? Are you working on fall 27?

Speaker 2:
[21:42] I'm working on Christmas 27. Merry Christmas. That's where I'm at. So yes, outdoor. We have a new porch swing and speaking of that outdoor in lattice work has been so prominent. It's one of those 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 lattice work. It is so pretty.

Speaker 1:
[22:11] Where are you going to put it?

Speaker 2:
[22:12] On my side porch. On 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.

Speaker 1:
[22:20] Like where your back door is or the screen didn't work?

Speaker 3:
[22:24] Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[22:25] My side door.

Speaker 1:
[22:26] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[22:27] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[22:27] It will fit there. I've measured.

Speaker 1:
[22:30] That's amazing.

Speaker 3:
[22:31] That's a big side porch.

Speaker 1:
[22:32] It also comes with the little side tray, the sidecar tray.

Speaker 3:
[22:38] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[22:38] Very important because we all like our wine.

Speaker 2:
[22:42] Or chips. We need a snacky. You got to have a snack and above, right? So we didn't disappoint.

Speaker 1:
[22:48] Yeah. We weren't going to forget that.

Speaker 3:
[22:50] Okay. Can we talk about the Bedford collection, the Suzanne Kasler Bedford collection? It is so pretty. It's a woven collection and it has a beautiful and subtle curve to it that is just really gorgeous. Really gorgeous.

Speaker 2:
[23:12] 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.

Speaker 3:
[23:21] Right.

Speaker 2:
[23:22] It's not your 1980s with the big rolled arm of wicker. It's a very clean line for what it is.

Speaker 1:
[23:28] I do like the arm of it a lot. It's very elegant.

Speaker 2:
[23:31] But Biloxi is super fun for you guys listening, still listening and wondering. Again, more rope and woven. It has this big open weave. It looks so good. It's a lot more modern feeling, but it scoops so nicely and sits so comfortably.

Speaker 3:
[23:50] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[23:51] It's shockingly comfortable.

Speaker 2:
[23:53] You don't need to push it on the wall.

Speaker 1:
[23:53] We did have it in the office for a while.

Speaker 3:
[23:55] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[23:56] Sorry.

Speaker 2:
[23:57] No, you're good. Go ahead.

Speaker 3:
[23:59] And we try to sit on everything.

Speaker 1:
[24:00] Yeah. No, we haven't mentioned it's cushionless. So I think when you see that it's cushionless, you might be concerned that it's not super comfortable, but it really is. And it has some give to it. So it's not like sitting on plastic. It has a little give to the rope.

Speaker 2:
[24:27] And the frame is teak. 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 will be slightly gray and match the weave. It's going to be like, again, it's one of those I think is going to be prettier as it like it is some too outside.

Speaker 1:
[24:41] And the turn, I mean, I love the little turn top. It's a gray and like the turning on the arms. It's just really pretty.

Speaker 3:
[24:51] Yeah. Okay. There's also the Athena collection from Suzanne Kasler. And that is a console and a dining table. So it's, it is a really beautiful resin. They're made of resin, right? The table. But it looks like stone.

Speaker 1:
[25:12] Is it resin or is it one of those volcanic ash things?

Speaker 3:
[25:17] Volcanic ash might be too light. Don't you think? Or maybe it's volcanic ash and resin.

Speaker 2:
[25:22] What does the copy say?

Speaker 3:
[25:23] I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[25:24] This is when we need Sarah Hall.

Speaker 3:
[25:26] This is the console. And it is, it's so pretty. It's so classic.

Speaker 2:
[25:32] It's very traditional.

Speaker 3:
[25:33] It's-

Speaker 2:
[25:35] But again, but she cleans up-

Speaker 3:
[25:36] Where are you going to find something like this?

Speaker 2:
[25:38] You're not. No.

Speaker 3:
[25:39] Like unless you're, unless you're like scouring some antique halls, like I just think it's-

Speaker 2:
[25:47] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[25:48] Well, we do that for you.

Speaker 2:
[25:49] But guys, this, I can't get over the outdoor rug collection this year.

Speaker 3:
[25:55] Oh, there are some great colors.

Speaker 2:
[25:56] There are 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.

Speaker 3:
[26:13] It's a cute, cute little squiggle.

Speaker 2:
[26:15] And it's got a pile to it. Like it is completely outdoor, but it's going to be super soft.

Speaker 3:
[26:20] I also want to talk about outdoor upholstery. Can we just like 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.

Speaker 2:
[26:59] It is nice that 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, doesn't mean they have to live outdoor. They're so nice, you can bring them inside. Especially if there's a pile, it won't look any different and yet you could take it outside and bleach it. I love it. I don't know if that's what the copy says. Everyone be advised. Do what the Internet says, not me.

Speaker 1:
[27:24] Taryn is going to bleach it.

Speaker 3:
[27:26] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[27:27] What else did I write? Outdoor. Guys, 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 their blue and white stripe. I love all my food on them. Every time we eat on them, I'm telling you, it looks amazing. What? I know it's a little silly thing. What page are you on? I'm not on a page. I'm just telling you.

Speaker 3:
[27:56] Here we go. Page 91.

Speaker 2:
[27:59] Okay. I was going to say, let me see the shot. It's on Biloxi. I don't even know what the shot looks like. Okay. It is something subtle but we did a layered plate with these little lily of the valley. There's some place that have lily of valley on them, that 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 lemon chicken the other day and had some bright yellow lemons. I was like, God, I just want to eat every- it was a weird phenomenon and it was just a striped plate. So if you are looking at a way-

Speaker 1:
[28:38] Do you eat on them every day?

Speaker 2:
[28:40] On the melamine? 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 the kid plates that have dinosaurs. We just have pretty melamine that I want to see. That's a me household thing and my boys are older, so we could switch to plates, but I just love- we just have some really pretty melamine, and they're so thick. It doesn't feel like you're cheaping out either. I just love it. I know it's 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. Striped mats. Have you seen the art with the striped mats, like the picture?

Speaker 3:
[29:25] Oh, sorry.

Speaker 1:
[29:26] It took me a minute to check.

Speaker 3:
[29:27] The picture frames.

Speaker 2:
[29:28] It took me a minute to check.

Speaker 1:
[29:29] Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2:
[29:31] Talk about again, a stripe just adding, like those mats look fantastic.

Speaker 3:
[29:35] The details in the matting just looks so fantastic.

Speaker 1:
[29:39] We have a couple of different art pieces with the pattern mat, and I do love how it looks. It just is so fun. Yeah. I'm trying to find another example. Yeah, it's like a floral with a green stripe. I think there's this guy.

Speaker 2:
[30:03] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[30:04] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[30:07] Oh, and that bedding is striped with a floral?

Speaker 1:
[30:09] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[30:10] I do love this bedding. Oh, I drew that bedding, but I don't remember the name.

Speaker 1:
[30:13] It is called Essie.

Speaker 2:
[30:17] Speaking of more is more, Essie is one of those we developed because we kept noticing, again, the trend of pattern on pattern, and they're doing that within a fabric. Then we played with the whole, what would it look like if we layered on? What are the two layers we could put together? What would stripes look good with? Then we were into the, again, just these floral, do we spread out? Do we make it so you can really read stripes, but a little bit more feminine.

Speaker 3:
[30:42] But there's also that striped drapery that is in that room too, that has a little ruffle at the top. The ruffle, the flop over balance is very on trend. So, so sweet.

Speaker 2:
[30:54] 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. I think that's just what is so nice about it, is it really reads cat like comfortable.

Speaker 3:
[31:15] There's a matching best skirt too.

Speaker 2:
[31:16] But like much more preferred. Like linen pants. That's better. Something very comfortable, but still chic.

Speaker 3:
[31:24] It's a good travel set.

Speaker 2:
[31:27] It's a nice linen set. Yes, it does. Anyway, it is really pretty too. So and it compliments it so well. Yes.

Speaker 1:
[31:36] Flop over balance. I've never heard that term, but I like it. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[31:40] I haven't Googled it to see what comes up, but that's what it is.

Speaker 1:
[31:43] Okay. That's something you made up.

Speaker 2:
[31:44] Let's Google while you look up. I've talked about, I mean, everything in the book, so you guys flop over.

Speaker 1:
[31:51] No. You were all into the outdoor rugs. I've been loving these pillow collections because to me, outdoor pillows feel harder than indoor pillows.

Speaker 3:
[32:05] They are.

Speaker 1:
[32:06] I'm not entirely sure why because they shouldn't be. But I love the way we've shown them in grouping. Then you could pick two or three.

Speaker 3:
[32:14] Right. Change them out. I love the large Greek key pillow.

Speaker 1:
[32:18] Oh my gosh. I'm obsessed with that one.

Speaker 3:
[32:19] Those are so cool. But then I love-

Speaker 1:
[32:23] And a little tassel.

Speaker 3:
[32:24] Oh, they do have a tassel.

Speaker 1:
[32:25] A tassel fringe.

Speaker 2:
[32:26] I just think it's the fact that there's these perfect groupings. You're like, I have blue and white stripe. I have the cornflower and white stripe. Yeah. I truly was trying to pick which one I wanted to purchase because I love the green and blue gingham as well. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:
[32:40] Gale. Gale is cute.

Speaker 2:
[32:42] Gale.

Speaker 3:
[32:42] Gale is so cute. Yeah. The green and blue gingham. Then there's another colorway that's just like a brown and toe. That is so pretty that we put on a banquet. Yes. It looks so fresh.

Speaker 2:
[32:58] It's so fresh.

Speaker 1:
[33:00] But familiar.

Speaker 3:
[33:01] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[33:02] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[33:02] Comfortable, like maybe a linen set. No, sweatpants. Sweatpants. Sorry, I went way too wrong there. Sorry. The sweatpants of a pillow would be-

Speaker 1:
[33:13] I don't think anyone would want their living room to be described as sweatpants.

Speaker 2:
[33:17] No, I was trying to think of what it- if you need to put something on your window that was sweatpants, what would it be? Okay.

Speaker 1:
[33:23] It would be those like vertical blinds. It would be the sweatpants on the window.

Speaker 2:
[33:30] 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.

Speaker 3:
[33:41] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[33:41] Those are you don't leave your house. Like those are, yeah, sweatpants.

Speaker 1:
[33:45] You only put them in rooms no one goes into.

Speaker 2:
[33:46] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[33:49] Sidebar conversation we need to have is about sweatpants that look like jeans. We will discuss later. What? This is a thing.

Speaker 1:
[33:57] Sweatpants that look like jeans?

Speaker 2:
[33:59] And they look like jeans?

Speaker 1:
[33:59] Wait, do we like this or no?

Speaker 3:
[34:01] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[34:01] Are we getting capped by sweatpants now?

Speaker 3:
[34:04] I don't know, but there are sweatpants that really look like jeans. They're like printed with denim. No.

Speaker 1:
[34:14] I haven't seen them, but that's a no.

Speaker 3:
[34:16] It keeps happening.

Speaker 2:
[34:21] Joke's on you. She like stands up.

Speaker 1:
[34:22] She's like, you guys want a leg? You know what? I want a denim that's at like 100% cotton. I want it to like be...

Speaker 2:
[34:29] You want it thick.

Speaker 3:
[34:30] No, I like a good, thick, sturdy denim.

Speaker 1:
[34:31] I don't want stretchy denim.

Speaker 2:
[34:33] Yeah, you want...

Speaker 3:
[34:34] You don't want sweatpants.

Speaker 2:
[34:35] Like Levi's style. I feel like Levi's are still like... They want it to be like thick. Yeah, I don't think these sweatpants jeans are for you.

Speaker 1:
[34:42] No, that's why I said no.

Speaker 3:
[34:43] That's why I'm saying this is a cyber conversation. We will take this offline.

Speaker 2:
[34:46] We're not even taking it offline. It's here. This was a bonus episode, so they're getting the bonus. Anyway, yes, the outdoor section really, the scallop with the trim, those pillows are beautiful.

Speaker 1:
[35:01] Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[35:03] We are just, there is a lot to elevate your spaces from outdoor to indoors. It's definitely the time right now. It's that as everything is coming out, guys, time to do it.

Speaker 1:
[35:17] You know what? I feel like this is a sleeper, but I love this horizontal stripe outdoor drapery panel. Everyone has the vertical stripes and the vertical canopy stripes are a classic. 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 feels designer-y.

Speaker 2:
[35:42] Yeah. Doesn't it have a little fringy edge?

Speaker 1:
[35:44] No, the fringe edge is separate.

Speaker 3:
[35:46] Oh, that's a separate.

Speaker 1:
[35:48] It's confusing.

Speaker 2:
[35:49] Now I got to buy two.

Speaker 3:
[35:50] Yeah. It's confusing because we shot them both together to show everything going on. But yeah, no, the Halyard Stripe is really pretty.

Speaker 1:
[35:59] I just think it is the same effect, but in a more elevated way than the Canopy Stripe, which I love, but it feels more resort-y, I guess. And then the Horizontal Stripe to me feels more custom and designer, I guess. I don't know why.

Speaker 2:
[36:26] I think it's that whole, it's just fresh-looking because your eye has seen the vertical for so long, but the Horizontal Stripe keeps that fresh.

Speaker 1:
[36:32] Yeah, maybe that's it.

Speaker 2:
[36:34] Another point that I didn't bring up is we loved the Chippendale chair we've had forever, Dayna, so much that we were like, what else? What else can do that? And we have created a bed, a Dayna bed.

Speaker 1:
[36:47] It's gorgeous.

Speaker 2:
[36:48] It is beautiful. It is beautiful. And 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.

Speaker 1:
[36:59] I mean, it's called Dayna and it does have that bamboo detail, but this is really, really special. I mean, I love the, I don't even know how to describe.

Speaker 2:
[37:14] I mean, those little turnings are all hand-carved.

Speaker 1:
[37:17] But I love the top. I love the little cutout on the side, the clipped corners. It's really, really well done. Y'all did an incredible job. It's a gorgeous bed.

Speaker 3:
[37:28] Okay. There's another bamboo-inspired chair though. There's the Andrea armchair that is bamboo, that has some really beautiful detailing on the back, a little circle and X that goes through it.

Speaker 2:
[37:45] Oh, yes, yes, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:
[37:47] You have a picture of it.

Speaker 2:
[37:48] Thank you, we described it.

Speaker 3:
[37:49] Yeah, yeah. I feel like that is so pretty and so classic. It's a really pretty back.

Speaker 2:
[37:54] 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 solid, honed chair, like a Parsons, you're not gonna get a lot in that, which sometimes is important. And it depends, of course, on the pattern, blah, blah, blah. But that chair is just, you can tell it is nicely made and it's beautiful.

Speaker 3:
[38:19] Very pretty.

Speaker 2:
[38:20] Again, who doesn't love a chippendale?

Speaker 1:
[38:21] Have we talked about our custom rug or our customizable sized rugs? On the podcast before?

Speaker 3:
[38:27] I don't know if we have, but we have nine new patterns this season. So we now have 12 total patterns of customizable rugs or custom sized rugs. And it's pretty amazing because you can customize the size by foot all the way up to 12 by 15 feet.

Speaker 2:
[38:49] It's amazing. I need to order the runners from upstairs.

Speaker 1:
[38:51] I think you can do 15 by 15 feet.

Speaker 3:
[38:52] You can do 15 by 15?

Speaker 1:
[38:53] I think.

Speaker 3:
[38:55] We're not sure.

Speaker 1:
[38:58] I feel like I tried this the other day.

Speaker 3:
[38:59] Check it out online.

Speaker 1:
[39:00] 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 two or three foot wide by 15 foot long runner.

Speaker 3:
[39:14] Oh, that's brilliant.

Speaker 1:
[39:15] So that you could get exactly the size you need. Right, right.

Speaker 3:
[39:19] That's really great for a runner.

Speaker 1:
[39:21] 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.

Speaker 3:
[39:38] And it'll sort of fill up the hall a little better. That's right. The patterns are really nice and very neutral. So they also look great if you do a larger one and then layer it with another rug too. That always looks good too.

Speaker 2:
[39:53] Yeah, they're so good.

Speaker 1:
[39:56] One of my other favorite products that we haven't talked about is this Bruno Kitchen Pantry. I have been sort of...

Speaker 3:
[40:04] Let's talk about it...

Speaker 1:
[40:05] .toying with putting this in my dining room.

Speaker 2:
[40:07] It looks like a Caroline.

Speaker 1:
[40:08] Huh?

Speaker 2:
[40:09] It looks like a U-piece.

Speaker 1:
[40:10] It does? Yeah. I mean, I really like it.

Speaker 2:
[40:12] With the gold, with the gold cane.

Speaker 1:
[40:14] It's a good narrow size, which I've been looking for.

Speaker 2:
[40:18] We love a kitchen pantry. If you haven't acted that weird-

Speaker 3:
[40:22] Is it the Briggs?

Speaker 1:
[40:23] No.

Speaker 2:
[40:24] The Briggs is pretty, too.

Speaker 3:
[40:25] Oh, the Briggs is more of like an appliance company.

Speaker 1:
[40:27] See, I don't really-

Speaker 3:
[40:28] Oh, Bruno. Oh, yeah, I know.

Speaker 1:
[40:29] We call it a kitchen pantry, but to me, it's just like a hutch.

Speaker 3:
[40:33] It is. That is a very Caroline piece.

Speaker 2:
[40:35] It's a display hutch, but it has that open, beautiful metalwork. So you really, again, you can display things in there if you want, or if you are going to keep your potatoes and your air. They'll- What?

Speaker 1:
[40:48] It's a potato. That's an air. Yeah, potatoes. That just sounds random.

Speaker 2:
[40:54] Okay. Well, I was in the kitchen. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1:
[40:58] Is that not putting food in your pantry? Potatoes? No, it's just picturing you're like, if you need to display something like a potato.

Speaker 2:
[41:07] Well, if you're really proud of your potatoes.

Speaker 1:
[41:13] I'm sorry.

Speaker 2:
[41:14] I don't know.

Speaker 3:
[41:15] I do feel like that's a kitchen trend though, to have the wire mesh in drawers and stuff for your potatoes.

Speaker 2:
[41:23] Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 1:
[41:25] Am I supposed to be airing out my potatoes?

Speaker 2:
[41:27] Yeah, where are you keeping them?

Speaker 1:
[41:29] Just on the counter.

Speaker 2:
[41:30] How dare you? You're going to be putting them in this beautiful cabinet. Oh, God. Sounds like you need an upgrade. Oh, my gosh. No, we do actually need to talk about this Briggs storage cabinet and this kitchen island.

Speaker 3:
[41:44] Oh, my gosh. That's where I feel like that's...

Speaker 2:
[41:47] Look at that hardware.

Speaker 3:
[41:48] The other one was more Caroline style and that one's more my style.

Speaker 2:
[41:51] Yes, it is a gorgeous peacock. The little poles have a beautiful itty bitty scallop. The little knobs has this beautiful little vent so you can have your potatoes in there. I was more thinking espresso machine and coffee machine. There's a little lip for your mugs. This is 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, it has the marble top on it. It has all the storage for your potatoes if you don't want to display them.

Speaker 1:
[42:28] The way y'all have done the hinge is really nice as well. I know that that sounds so lame. It's got such a good hinge.

Speaker 3:
[42:34] It has a really good hinge.

Speaker 2:
[42:35] Tell me your age.

Speaker 3:
[42:37] I'm not telling you your age.

Speaker 2:
[42:38] Did you see the beautiful hinge on that piece? It is very true. It has a very pretty hinge.

Speaker 1:
[42:44] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[42:45] It has hinges.

Speaker 1:
[42:45] More importantly, it folds all the way back. Is that called a pano hinge?

Speaker 2:
[42:51] This one is technically no. This is just called a dumbbell hinge in this case, because we just made sure the doors bifold and go back. 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 glass is all, so everyone get their own drink. This is perfect. Or if again, you're serving coffee in the morning and you have guests, and you're like, 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 an English cottage.

Speaker 3:
[43:26] How thoughtful you are when you build these things too, Taryn, because when you're designing these, you're putting in all the little holes for the cords to go through.

Speaker 2:
[43:37] 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 can plug in your items in here. Or your margarita machine if it fits. Make sure you don't get the big one.

Speaker 3:
[43:50] Yeah, just the little slushy one.

Speaker 2:
[43:53] Yeah, just your ice cream maker. What if this is your ice cream bar? I mean, what's your oyster right here? You could be making potatoes.

Speaker 1:
[44:00] I want a ice cream bar. You could have a potato bar.

Speaker 2:
[44:04] You could put the bowls around the edge and then serve the mash and then you have all your little toppings. I see.

Speaker 1:
[44:11] This episode will be about potatoes.

Speaker 3:
[44:13] We are solving problems that don't really exist.

Speaker 2:
[44:15] We're just soberly doing this.

Speaker 1:
[44:17] It's even more impressive.

Speaker 2:
[44:20] We've talked for an hour about a whole lot.

Speaker 1:
[44:22] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[44:23] We have to stop. Do you have more on your list?

Speaker 1:
[44:26] No, no, no. I do think we've covered it.

Speaker 2:
[44:28] Well, we haven't. I know there's more products than we went over.

Speaker 3:
[44:30] There really are. There really are so many really fantastic new fabrics.

Speaker 1:
[44:36] Here is how I suggest we wrap up. I want everyone to go around and tell me what was on your shopping list and what you're actually going to buy from this collection, if anything.

Speaker 2:
[44:46] Oh, I can definitely go 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 those-

Speaker 1:
[45:04] The sweat pant curtains.

Speaker 2:
[45:06] My sweat pant curtains. No, that's the flop over balance. The flop over balance, I love those, but I don't know. I'm going to think about what-

Speaker 1:
[45:13] Okay, yeah, yeah, sorry. Roman shades, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[45:15] 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.

Speaker 1:
[45:24] Okay, Liz, what about you?

Speaker 3:
[45:25] Awesome. Well, I think definitely the Carson Brighton bar cart, the rope bar cart, 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 a chinoiserie vase that is just so charming. So yeah, so that's where I'm going.

Speaker 1:
[45:56] Love it.

Speaker 3:
[45:57] What about you, Caroline?

Speaker 1:
[45:58] Well, I mentioned that Violette Chartreuse bedding collection. So my bedroom is 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 going to do some shams and a new duvet cover. So I'm going to do that and I might get it monogrammed.

Speaker 3:
[46:22] Nice.

Speaker 1:
[46:23] 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 tealights I've been meaning to order them.

Speaker 2:
[46:40] The little one with the stars?

Speaker 1:
[46:42] No, no. The little candlelamps. The little hat on.

Speaker 2:
[46:46] Yeah. It's sage and has little cutouts.

Speaker 1:
[46:50] No. Oh, but I love that one too. The little tealight holders. Oh, I love the little tealight. No, no. I'm talking about the- Oh, I love those little baby tealights. I do love those too.

Speaker 2:
[46:58] You're right. I designed those based off this little antique in Paris they had and it had this little shade that had stars cutouts.

Speaker 1:
[47:04] It's so cute. I don't have any need for them, but I do want them. Because they're one of those cheap and cheerful things. They're not expensive, but how cute. No, I'm talking about the tortoise candle from fall, and then we have the new green color.

Speaker 2:
[47:23] Yes. I call it a mushroom.

Speaker 1:
[47:25] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[47:25] Good to know you call it a-

Speaker 1:
[47:27] Candle with a hat.

Speaker 3:
[47:28] It's technically called a candle lamp. So it's a little, it's a little, it's a small little-

Speaker 1:
[47:35] Yeah, you're talking about these.

Speaker 3:
[47:36] Of a candle with a little glass shade that goes on top.

Speaker 2:
[47:41] Okay, you can see where that's confusing.

Speaker 1:
[47:43] You're right. And they're the same color.

Speaker 2:
[47:44] You take the shade off of these little tea lights, put your tea light in there.

Speaker 1:
[47:48] This also could be a candle with a hat. Yes.

Speaker 3:
[47:50] That is a little candle with a hat.

Speaker 2:
[47:52] Yes. Thank you.

Speaker 1:
[47:53] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[47:53] I just think the stark cutout on it makes it the most-

Speaker 3:
[47:57] It is.

Speaker 1:
[47:57] It absolutely is.

Speaker 3:
[47:58] You know what, Taryn, I'm glad you called that out because I missed that guy completely.

Speaker 2:
[48:04] You will when he's on a tablescape.

Speaker 3:
[48:06] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[48:07] I know. But that sage to start is like-

Speaker 1:
[48:09] It's fabulous.

Speaker 3:
[48:10] That is really, really lovely.

Speaker 2:
[48:12] It's going to look so good. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[48:14] I might actually add that to my list. Okay. You sold me. Got it.

Speaker 3:
[48:16] Okay. Done.

Speaker 1:
[48:17] And I also might get that Greeky blue and spa pillow.

Speaker 2:
[48:21] I do want- I'm going to buy more outdoor pillows.

Speaker 1:
[48:24] I only have this one.

Speaker 2:
[48:25] Yeah. I only have the cornflower and white stripe, and I truly need another powder. Like we're too boring with one powder. We need more.

Speaker 1:
[48:31] So which one are you going to do?

Speaker 2:
[48:32] I don't know. There's so many.

Speaker 1:
[48:34] I really like this block print T1. It doesn't really go with what I've got already, but.

Speaker 2:
[48:42] Did 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. I'm like, I need a full pivot.

Speaker 1:
[48:50] Well, one of the nice things is that for some of your outdoor pillows, you can just do the cover. And so I'll just get the cover and then put them over the old ones that I have, you know?

Speaker 2:
[48:59] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[49:01] I feel like that's a newer thing that we've been doing.

Speaker 1:
[49:03] Yes.

Speaker 3:
[49:04] Is the outdoor pillows with just the cover.

Speaker 1:
[49:06] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[49:06] So you can cover up the pillows that you already have.

Speaker 2:
[49:09] Brilliant.

Speaker 1:
[49:10] I love it because then when you're like me and you get tired of it.

Speaker 2:
[49:15] Or need to wash it.

Speaker 1:
[49:15] 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 can just preach, add the cover on.

Speaker 3:
[49:25] Okay. If anybody's followed along with everything we've talked about, you win.

Speaker 1:
[49:28] If anyone's still here, bless you.

Speaker 2:
[49:30] I would actually like to give them.

Speaker 3:
[49:31] Thanks for joining.

Speaker 2:
[49:33] A prize for getting this far. You can have a tea light. Call me, message me. I'll send you a potato or a tea light.

Speaker 1:
[49:43] Okay. Those tea lights are really cute.

Speaker 3:
[49:47] Those are really cute.

Speaker 1:
[49:48] How much are they?
