31
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,840

Speaker 1: We were in the car the other day and it's one

43
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite songs is Shine by Vanessa Amorrossi. Just

44
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: so we have the context, Okay, here's.

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 2: A bit.

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 4: Every Shine, everyone you see, everyone you know is going

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 4: to shine. The original lyrics to the iconic Shine by

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 4: Vanessa Amorossi was not, in fact shine, It was everyone

49
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 4: you see, everyone you know is going to die, something

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: like everybody, everyone you knows going to die, And it's

51
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 4: like this this sentiment that's like you don't know how

52
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: many days you have left, I like it's.

53
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: Your last, and like appreciate the people around the people

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: around you.

55
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: But then my fucked up head was like, yeah, all

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: those people that are mean to me and have wronged me.

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: Everyone, you see, everyone knows they're gonna die.

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: You could look at it both ways.

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Wait, so did she write the song and originally

60
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: the lyric was die and then her record label was

61
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: like yes, I don't know how much, and you know

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: she changed it Mark from Australian.

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Idol Oh my god, because he was producing the song.

64
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: He was working with her on it and they thought

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,559
Speaker 2: it was too dark. So I believe the song.

66
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: Was originally written for a friend that had passed away suddenly.

67
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: And so similar.

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Burn the candle, everyone's going to die.

69
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: And that live like it.

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, okay, My life lesson is actually I

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: decided to switch it out because I want to get

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: the chicks opinions and it's what we were talking about

73
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: just before, and it's also on the topic of death

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: macarb today. So the question I want to post to

75
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: the chicks is that when you pass away, will you

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: or won't you get a fake tan.

77
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: Great question.

78
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: So obviously a lot of people if they're having an

79
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: open casket, you know, they get their hair and their

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: makeup done like that is a very common practice and

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: apparently those make up artists are very good. Oh the

82
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: question to the cheeks. Let us know in the comments

83
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: on Spotify, would you or wouldn't you ask for it?

84
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: And a fake tan? And around the room was it?

85
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: Did we all say? Yes?

86
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: Why is just buffet down? Yeah?

00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,000

Speaker 4: Let's get into it. So let's take it all back to.

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: When you became the daddy of home and hosting.

100
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: Change it from friend to home and hosting.

101
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: Just dy daddy, Dabby rebrand.

102
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 5: Like I said that in one of my things, I

103
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 5: did an outfit of the day and I was like,

104
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 5: it's kind of giving dad vies.

105
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah at the I'm young, Yeah.

106
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: I like yeese is cool, Dad, I like it.

107
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: I like it. Where did your love for interior designing

108
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: all start?

109
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: Well, it was kind of like a full circle moment.

110
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: So originally I'm from the Hunter Valley in South Wales,

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: so I grew up there. My parents had a nursery,

112
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 5: but then my dad was a carpenter and my mom

113
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: was a horticulturist. But then my dad and they always

114
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: dreamed of having a restaurant, so my dad built a

115
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: restaurant and accommodation. So from a really young age, I

116
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 5: was already setting tables, flowers and weddings, making the beds.

117
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: Like it sounds really romantic, but it was like family

118
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 5: business vibes.

119
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: To turn these over.

120
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: Every day in your house, like a mum on Christmas morning,

121
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: you know how like on Christmas morning where moms are

122
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: like it cannot look like anybody lives here.

123
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 5: Literally, was that like just your Yeah, because like we

124
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 5: were doing weddings, you always get the energy of peoplere

125
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 5: being like nervous for their big day and like setting

126
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 5: it up so you know, and then setting up for

127
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 5: dinner servers and stuff like that.

128
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: But it was kind of weird.

129
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 5: That, Like when I turned twenty, I was like, like

130
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 5: every country kid, it's like I want to get out.

131
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to go to the city, big city.

132
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

133
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: So I moved to Melbourne and did a design degree

134
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 5: over at White House and then worked in marketing and

135
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: did a few things like that, but then to end

136
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 5: up here now doing like making bed setting tables and

137
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 5: flowers online.

138
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?

139
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, full circle moment.

140
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so I'm I started. It's always been around.

141
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally in your blood.

142
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

143
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: Really that's so beautiful.

144
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: And you often talk about elevating everyday moments. Can you

145
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: talk us through what does that mean and how.

146
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Can you do that?

147
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

148
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: So elevating every day is it from the og Martha Stewart.

149
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 5: That's her one miner and also a very good thing.

150
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 5: So I love that that's her thing. But I think

151
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 5: elevating every day is like those small gestures, like, for instance,

152
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 5: like this week, when I was saying, use the special

153
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: things on the regular, like when you have breakfast, I've

154
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 5: been doing soups in the morning, but instead of just

155
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 5: having soup and a playing bowl, I've done like soup

156
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: and then I do a plate underneath.

157
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Hold on, oh, soup for breakfast.

158
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 3: Tomato?

159
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 5: I like, yeah, or a pumpkin soup because you know,

160
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 5: like sometimes you go to a cafe and they have

161
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 5: like a special and it's just soup.

162
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: I was like, why can't I do that at home?

163
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: That is so beautiful and hearty in the morning, especial

164
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: because it's cold.

165
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: It's because you guys are in Sydney.

166
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: If I never thought of this.

167
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 5: You can buy like a sour dough, you know what

168
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: I mean, from coals and woolies and they're not that expensive,

169
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: you know, And then like you put the bowl and

170
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: then a plate and you like cut up the bread

171
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 5: and put it on the side and you sit it

172
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 5: down and like, honestly, there are one that's in like

173
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 5: a fabric napkin.

174
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: Gentlemen.

175
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: You chuck it in the laundry with everything else. But

176
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 5: it's having it there with you, just like you know

177
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: what I mean.

178
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: It's like setting up you're out at like you're at

179
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: a cafe, but you're at home.

180
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: You know.

181
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: That's very romanticizing your morning. Yeah, I'm into it.

182
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's and like just other small things

183
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: so like like lighting the candle if you're working from home,

184
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: like just making the intention to do it. I know,

185
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 5: sometimes you have to sit there for like two hours

186
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: because you don't want it to tunnel and stuff like that.

187
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: Putting on a playlist when friends come over, by dinner

188
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 5: with friends in the background.

189
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like putting on like ambience as well, like

190
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: when you put on the fireplace that's like the four

191
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: hour long YouTube video and having like the fire like

192
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: cracks or like the rain ambience.

193
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: Og YouTuber background. Yeah.

194
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, here, guys, that's me every day summer and people like,

195
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: what is wrong with you?

196
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: I'm like, please, I need this.

197
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

198
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: Even just like the closing shift, like at night, like

199
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 5: when you got lamps on, you're going to turn the

200
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 5: lamps off and stuff like that. Yes, I know that

201
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: sounds funny, but it feels like elevated. I've got like

202
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 5: twelve lamps in my house and I've got them all

203
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: connected to the Genio light globes because then you can

204
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 5: connect it to Google. So then when you go, hey, Google,

205
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 5: good night, it turns off.

206
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: All the lamps. Its rain noise. It's amazing.

207
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 5: You've got to set up Google Home with the Guinio

208
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: globes I love. And they can adjust the brightness.

209
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: With your voice.

210
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: No, can you do that with the phone? And you

211
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 3: can do it in the Google Justice easy.

212
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

213
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god.

214
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 5: That I've even got like my outdoor light, so if

215
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 5: I'm coming home from the gym, I'll like turn it

216
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: on before I get home, so and then all the

217
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: lights are on when I get home.

218
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

219
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 2: I think that is absolutely worth the splurge. Like I'm

220
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: a smart girl.

221
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: And they last forever.

222
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I've had some that I've had from like

223
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: three places ago that I've just moved with me.

224
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

225
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 5: Anything is that you have the different Bayonet one so

226
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 5: you end up with like a whole collection.

227
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's worth it.

228
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: And just make sure you double check what type of

229
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: light globe you need because the amount of times I've.

230
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: Bought the wrong one. I've been like they're on sale

231
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: and I buy like four and I'm like, damn it. Yeah,

232
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: but I love that you even will say.

233
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 1: Good night, Google, and that's sometimes that I'm going not

234
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: like Google turn the lights off even just like every listening.

235
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 5: To this, everyone's Google, because I like when I'm live

236
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: and stuff like that, I'll say like hey Google, and

237
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 5: then like you just set off my Google.

238
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

239
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: So we've just been talking earlier before this as well

240
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: about we do see trends in home and interior as well.

241
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: What trends are you seeing at the moment?

242
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I think there's so many. And I

243
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 5: also love that the trends in fashion and home kind

244
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 5: of plate what.

245
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: Ones do you love and what ones do you hate? Oh?

246
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 3: Okay, Like I think the ones that I love.

247
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 5: Like that came through with fashion at home was like red,

248
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 5: Like last year and winter were wearing red, but then

249
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 5: there was also the pop of red theory.

250
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we put injective bit of red in the.

251
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: Hole, the other unexpected red theory.

252
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

253
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: I've also seen that with like blue and with green

254
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: as well. So does it really apply to any color

255
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: that's going to sort of be a surprise in an

256
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: otherwise tonal space.

257
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 5: Red and blue I can understand, But the green, I

258
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 5: think people just latch onto something. Go I'm going to

259
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 5: do this now. But I think green is a really

260
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: good introductory color that people usually lean to when they

261
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 5: want to incorporate color in their.

262
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 2: Space because it feels a bit more natural.

263
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: Exactly yeah, it's more like the earth tones.

264
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 5: But yeah with the other trends, like like the thing

265
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: that I've been loving lately, which is like a trend, but.

266
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: It all depends on where you live as well.

267
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 5: But like, for instance, I've just recently moved closer to

268
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 5: the beach, so I'm getting fed all these tiktoks where

269
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 5: it's like beat, like coastal beatnick, whereas we call them

270
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: beach bums.

271
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: I guess like it's like.

272
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 2: That coastal grandma.

273
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I really love it because there's been that

274
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 5: resurgence of like Ralph Lauren and that traditional style. But

275
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 5: the thing I like about the beach beatnick is that

276
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 5: it's more relaxed and effortless, so it's not just like

277
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 5: rigid and put together like when you think of traditional style,

278
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 5: I can feel a bit stuffy, but when you give

279
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 5: it like a coastal feel, it feels a lot more relaxed.

280
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a bit more Australian too, where

281
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: the coastal grandma aesthetic is very American, like I say,

282
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: people like Cape Cod or like this summer coastal main Yeah,

283
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: like very that, whereas Australian coastal vibes is a bit different.

284
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it also stems from like Boho

285
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 5: coming back in fashion as well. It's that relaxed, effort

286
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 5: less white linen kind of like layers, like I found

287
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: like I'm like really leaning on white linen bedlinen the moment,

288
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 5: but I've been obsessed with color previously, but I'm kind

289
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 5: of like interchanging between the two, Whereas like for a

290
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: couple of years I was like, I'm not doing any white, but.

291
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 4: What are some of the like trends in home whereas

292
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 4: that you think are going to be evergreen that is

293
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 4: good to invest in.

294
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 5: Well, I think the trend that I'm loving the most

295
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 5: in terms of like particularly furniture, is we're seeing a

296
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 5: lot more people buying secondhand furniture from all different eras

297
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 5: as well, so stuff that's more traditional like Victorian, stuff

298
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 5: that's more mid century modern. And I love that we're

299
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 5: kind of like chucking in our houses and it's mixing

300
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 5: and matching.

301
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: I think that's.

302
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: Here to probably stay because I feel like we're a

303
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: lot more conscious of that and also because of the

304
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 5: cost of living, we want to pick up stuff that's

305
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 5: secondhand but also durable and it's going to last a

306
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: long time.

307
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

308
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 5: I feel like we're also a lot more conscious of

309
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 5: the materials. Like there's again with fashion, people are more

310
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 5: conscious like what's this top made of?

311
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: Like what am I going to buy? Is it? You know?

312
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. So yeah, I think that's here to stay.

313
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think thrifting has also had such a

314
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: link to dopamine de corps, yes, and that like inner

315
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 4: child thing of you know how we've seen so much

316
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: like sunny angels and La booboos and yellicats. I think

317
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: that also is coming in with decor and how people

318
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: are leaning into color more and having more fun with

319
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: it and with they're thrifting. But we have to talk

320
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: about millennial beige and how millennial beige is like an

321
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: interior designed slur.

322
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: And I've also seen recently gen Zed's sage green.

323
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: How like millennials have millennial beige and then gen Z

324
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 4: have sage green.

325
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's like their colors.

326
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

327
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 5: I feel like it really started with gray like the millennials,

328
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 5: and then it kind of went beige. But like, and

329
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 5: that goes to show with trends, like they come in cycles,

330
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 5: so it goes as far as it can go one

331
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 5: way and then it flips back to the other, Like

332
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: gray is really cool toned and like blue bass, whereas

333
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 5: beige is more brown tone and really warm. So throughout

334
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 5: the early two thousands we had like ultra minimalism. Everything

335
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: was cool toned white, like really stark whites, really cool

336
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 5: tone grays, and then it were flipped where we're doing

337
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 5: like creamy walls. Like the Renter beige is actually in now,

338
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 5: like people are asking like what colors are wa and.

339
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 3: It's like it's just that classic rent of beige. But

340
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: because it's now backing in.

341
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 4: Do you know so those who do feel like they're

342
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 4: surrounded by millennial beige and want to play with more

343
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 4: color in their home, what would you recommend?

344
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: I know you said green's a good entry level color.

345
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, so like the earth like coming from someone because

346
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 5: like I said, I'm a originally from New South Wales

347
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 5: and I feel like naturally we are a little bit

348
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 5: more coastal. Like when I moved to Melbourne, I was

349
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: shocked because everything he's like art deco and like jewel tones,

350
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 5: and I was like playing with like velvet chairs and

351
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 5: I was like, what is this?

352
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: What is this world? But I was like, I was interested,

353
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: do you know what I mean?

354
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 5: So I think the best, like my what I recommend

355
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 5: to people is go with sheet sets. First, get like

356
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: a really colorful sheet set, because I think nine times

357
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 5: out of ten we get we're worried we're going to

358
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: get sick of the color. So if you put it

359
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 5: on sheets, you can cover it with like a natural dona,

360
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 5: like a white doner with pink sheets, save for instance,

361
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 5: you're gonna swap it out every week, so you don't

362
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 5: really get over it as quickly. And then you can

363
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 5: move into other stuff, which could be more like, for instance,

364
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 5: you give someone like a candle that's a vibrant color,

365
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: because you're gonna use the candle and get rid of it. Yeah,

366
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: then you can go into homeworks because I think some

367
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 5: people will instantly go get some cushions, but cushions are

368
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 5: kind of not cheap, especially like good ones, and you

369
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 5: can get sick of them really quick. So I think

370
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: also to play with the seasons, so adult colors that

371
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 5: kind of play with what's going on outside. So in summer,

372
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 5: you can do lighter sages, you can do the sky blues,

373
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: you can mix it with whites and naturals. Then in

374
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 5: winter you can do more of the browns, the burgundies,

375
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: the plums, so then you know, okay, cool, at least

376
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: once the season ends, I can swap it out.

377
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think a lot of people don't talk about

378
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: that aspect. Maybe I like.

379
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 4: That because as well, it's not like you can kind

380
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: of see like one inspo pick on Pinterest of like

381
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: a blue couch and you're like, I'm going to get.

382
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: A blue coow.

383
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think the thing is really set up

384
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 5: your whole space first before you jump, like like you

385
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 5: can get a colorful piece of furniture. But the thing is,

386
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 5: it's a lot more money to buy an expensive piece

387
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 5: of furniture like a chair or a sofa, And if

388
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: you haven't got the whole space developed yet and you're

389
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 5: still discovering your style, you just don't really want to

390
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 5: regret that choice later on. I think it's better to

391
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: get your whole space sort of set up and get

392
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 5: an idea of where you're going through home weares like

393
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 5: Hold of Its Home Wears, then bring in those character

394
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 5: pieces later because you don't really because for instance, buy.

395
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: Like a bright blue chair because you love it, but

396
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: then you're like, no, I've got nothing, like what's so

397
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: far am I going?

398
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: And you can also fall into the track, which I've

399
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 4: done because like when I was moving into my first place,

400
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 4: I was so excited to furnish the whole thing, and

401
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: I was on Facebook Marketplace. I basically ended up buying

402
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 4: all statement pieces and then.

403
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: Everything was in my space and I was like, oh, go,

404
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: she's good.

405
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 5: It didn't museum sort of style and cool, but.

406
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: It just nothing fit.

407
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 4: It was like statement pieces of all different aesthetics, which like, whatever,

408
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: if that's your vibe, go for it, But it just

409
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: didn't end up feeling very homey when it was too

410
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: mismatched to me.

411
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: And so, yeah, I think that's a really great piece

412
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: of alex take it. Yeah, I like that.

413
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: I even think you can experiment with florals as well,

414
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: if you want to test out how a color looks

415
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: in the space, like buy a bunch of flowers in

416
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: that time they like, Okay, how does like this bunch

417
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: of flowers look with the rest of my furniture. Called

418
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: then I can get a vase of that same thing

419
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: or a piece of artwork, and I know it's gonna

420
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of work with.

421
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: It's creative of being like things that you can pull

422
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 4: in and also take away. So like waller, like obviously

423
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 4: if it's super expensive then maybe not. But yeah, but

424
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 4: like I mean, you can get some pretty affordable wall

425
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 4: out on like Etsy and things like that, or like

426
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 4: a candle that's like a I think it's.

427
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 3: About the commitment thing.

428
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 5: I think that's most of the time we're scared to

429
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: commit to the color. Forget things where it's not a

430
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 5: full commitment.

431
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: Commitment a week with flowers or yeah.

432
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 5: Season with this, you know what I mean, like a

433
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: sheet set that I'm going to change every week, you

434
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 5: know what I mean.

435
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: Also, don't forget about incorporating texture.

436
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people go with color straight

437
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: away and it's like, but think about can I incorporate

438
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 5: different textures? So is it like a quilted color out,

439
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 5: do you know, I mean? Or is it like a

440
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: culter cushion or is it a furry one?

441
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: Do you know?

442
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 5: I mean, like it can be the same, because I

443
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 5: think people like all my space is based sometimes it's

444
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 5: because it's just flat because everything in there is all

445
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 5: the same surface. So been incorporating lots of layers it

446
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 5: makes it feel more warm and homey that way too.

447
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: But you know how we have capsule wardrobes, right, what

448
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: is your capsule home pieces for styling?

449
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 5: I feel like it's like I always have the three

450
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 5: things that I think that makes any space feel like

451
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 5: a room, which is rugs, using light shades as well,

452
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 5: and window treatments. And sometimes it can be tricky whether

453
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 5: you're renting where your own with these your first time

454
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: with things like that, but you can do lots of

455
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 5: dois like even when I've been renting, it's all you

456
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 5: can work with it, like command talks and stuff like that.

457
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 5: But as soon as you put in a rug, some

458
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 5: curtains and a light shade in the lamp, before you

459
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 5: even put furniture in the space, it already feels like

460
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 5: home because you've got those layers in there. So every

461
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 5: room should have those things based on it's like a bathroom.

462
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 5: But do you know, but like your living room, a

463
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 5: dining room, a bedroom should all have those three things.

464
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 5: Then you go into furniture because most of time people go,

465
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 5: I need a bed, I need I need a coffee table,

466
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 5: but they don't think about those other bits, which sometimes

467
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 5: can be a little bit pricey too, like rugs, aren't

468
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 5: necessarily the cheapest thing.

469
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes if you get a really.

470
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 5: Good rug and then you get like a Facebook marketplace

471
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 5: find so far, it's like, oh thank god I got

472
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 5: that rug when I did?

473
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

474
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 5: You move into different places then I was I would

475
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 5: normally go more neutral when it comes to the furniture pieces,

476
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 5: but keep it more in the natural materials as well,

477
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 5: and then you accent with your throws, your cushions, your vases,

478
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 5: like vessels.

479
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: Stuff like that.

480
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 4: In my head, I've been like doing like a bratstole

481
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 4: of the Horror.

482
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: Building a house in my head, being like that looks

483
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: nice to get unlimited money.

484
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: Literally, what are your like top three home styling mistakes

485
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: or IX?

486
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: I know you've got some X.

487
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 3: So the first one I.

488
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 5: Have to say, when we're talking about the big light

489
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 5: and parents, why does every.

490
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: Dad like put the white daylight light globes.

491
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 2: In the cool big light.

492
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: It needs to be warm light and then you just

493
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 3: never turn them on, but at least.

494
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: You know.

495
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: You're not going to use them, but an emergency you got.

496
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 5: Warm because like whenever you move into a rental as well,

497
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 5: why they always like different colors and every room as well,

498
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: like some.

499
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 3: Warm summer white like why.

500
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: And then the other one that I have is like

501
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: rugs that are too small because nighttimes, out of turn

502
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 5: they are like most like it's kind of like, don't

503
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 5: have one if it's going to be too small?

504
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: What is the right side? Well, is there a formula?

505
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 3: I think you?

506
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 5: Like, so in a living room you sort of want

507
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 5: the furniture like the two front legs to be sitting

508
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 5: on the rug. That makes sense because the thing is

509
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 5: with a rug that's really powerful about it is that

510
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 5: if you don't have one, sometimes your furniture can feel

511
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 5: like it's floating in the room, like it doesn't fit.

512
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: In the space.

513
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 5: So you put a rug in and you lay things

514
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 5: on top of it, it just kind of grounds it.

515
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 5: Same with the bedroom, I think you want to have

516
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 5: some bit of rug on each end of the bed

517
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 5: as well as on the Like, yeah, I get you, Yeah,

518
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 5: that's like I think sometimes like I cares a great

519
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: spot to find really good rugs. If you can get

520
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 5: like a two by three like two meters by three

521
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 5: meters usually great, or you could just buy two of

522
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 5: the two by three meter ones like the jukee ones

523
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 5: that there's a lot o here you can get two

524
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 5: of them, yeah, because they're like ninety nine dollars versus

525
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: thousands of dollars, and you get two and bump them together.

526
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 5: And then it's like say, in a living room, you're

527
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 5: putting a sofa on top of a coffee table on top,

528
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 5: so you don't really notice the scene.

529
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I like that. Yeah.

530
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: And then the third thing I think I was like

531
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 5: basically just the build a gray Like I want to

532
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 5: talk to every architect that's doing these new apartments and

533
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 5: not doing the really.

534
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: Dark gray carpet and the white.

535
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 5: Walls because they're really hard to make feel homie.

536
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

537
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: And I know some people who would be listening right

538
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 5: now who are in those and PUB was like, I'd like, yeah,

539
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 5: I'm struggling to make this feel like a home.

540
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's just not really built to be like that.

541
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: I wish we could just have a little bit more

542
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: warmth and a bit more texture.

543
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: You know.

544
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: Do they just do that dark gray because it doesn't

545
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: show stains as much?

546
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: But even because that's the thing, when you try to

547
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: layer a dark carpet with a colorful rug like.

548
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: Black and memotime, it's like one's gray and one's redular.

549
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: You can't really it's yeah, it's harder to match with

550
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: darker colors.

551
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 5: I find interior, yeah for sure, Like in my place,

552
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 5: in my bedroom, it's a dark gray carpet, but I've

553
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 5: got a huge, like white wool rug. And so when

554
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 5: I film and I say like, oh, I think people

555
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 5: are like, oh, but you have like white carpet, don't.

556
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: You you know?

557
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 5: I mean, I know it's not necessarily the most practical thing,

558
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 5: I trust me, I know, but people kind of ignore

559
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 5: the carpet if you get a big enough rout.

560
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: We did kind of briefly touch on this before, but

561
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: do you have any tips for anybody who is renting

562
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: on how to maximize their space?

563
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 5: So I think it's all about storage, Like, let's real,

564
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 5: that's way of the first thing that comes to my mind.

565
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 5: Like I love my gas lift bed. I will never

566
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: go back from having a gas lift bed. I've had

567
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: the ones with drawers, I've had like a bed frame

568
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 5: where you like put like containers underneath it.

569
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: The gas live bed is the best, I agree, And.

570
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 5: I put all my bed linen underneath it. So like

571
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 5: it's in this it's in the right context as well,

572
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 5: Like when I need to change the bedlinen. It's like cool,

573
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 5: I have to walk to a different cupboard and come back.

574
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 2: Ship that You're like, I don't know where to put this,

575
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: it just lives the bed.

576
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

577
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 5: And then also like for instance, like there's lots of

578
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 5: those pull out drawers now that you can get in cupboards,

579
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 5: like utilizing the space.

580
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 3: Like you know, people like.

581
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,479
Speaker 5: I want to utilize the cupboard the most. You get

582
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 5: the ones where they pull out tray sort of things.

583
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 5: You can use the back of the cupboard in my

584
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 5: bathroom at home, I've got those clear Lazy Susans in

585
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 5: the drawers. So then like I put all my skincare

586
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 5: on it, and albeit it's not taking up like it's

587
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 5: not the best use of space, but I can access

588
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: all the products. So I'm just like spinning it around

589
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 5: and pulling from Yeah. So like sometimes I think it's

590
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 5: about like being smart with the stewage too, totally.

591
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well I always hear people talking about that with storage,

592
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: you need to utilize the space vertically, yeah, and that

593
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: we don't do that enough.

594
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

595
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: So like in your pantry you'll have like things stacked,

596
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: but then you have like half of the cupboard is

597
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: empty just with space, but you can put like draws

598
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: in and things in that you can remove when you leave.

599
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: What about like curtains and lighting and things like that.

600
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: One hundred percent.

601
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: So curtains are a great thing that you can do,

602
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 5: especially if you put them like higher than the window frame, yeah, taller,

603
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 5: and they go all the way to the ground.

604
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 3: Please please go all the way down.

605
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 5: Unless it's like a cafe curtain that's cute, But like curtains,

606
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 5: we go all the way down to the ground. It

607
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 5: makes a room appear taller, and then mirrors obviously bounce

608
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 5: the light around, so it makes the space feel a

609
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 5: lot bigger.

610
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: You're a slut for curtains because also with your garage.

611
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 5: Right, yes, I yeah, yeah, So I got some outdoor

612
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 5: curtains from Timu because I was like, I don't want

613
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 5: to run the risk because, like I said, really exciting.

614
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

615
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 5: So I was like these outdoor curtains because they could grow, mold,

616
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: they could do whatever.

617
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what's gonna happen.

618
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: So I bought those awning striped curtains to cover up

619
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: my garage because when you look into the backyard, you

620
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 5: can just see straight.

621
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 3: Into the car and yeah, all the stuff, and it's

622
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: been great. I've had no mold.

623
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 5: There's been like windstorms, like tropical storms and all this

624
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 5: other stuff, and they're still great and they never like

625
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 5: go anywhere.

626
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 2: But that is something I just don't think anyone would

627
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: have thought of, because I remember I saw the video

628
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, what are you doing?

629
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I was like I love that.

630
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: It was so shocked at first, like in the best way.

631
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sometimes don't want to look at an ugly roll at all.

632
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 4: Sometimes, I mean, if you want to get like a

633
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 4: pretty one, like that's going to cost a boom.

634
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: What's the biggest mistake people make in their bedrooms?

635
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 5: Not even I think not evessing in the bedding, the

636
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 5: stuff you can't see, so like the mattress protectors, the douners.

637
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 3: The pillows. I think a lot of the time we

638
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: kind of just run it.

639
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: Yet.

640
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 3: Have you got the diner? Yeah, I've got it.

641
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 5: And it's like it's like a four hundred GSM, which

642
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 5: is Graham's per square meter, so it's like really flat.

643
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: I really like a down doner.

644
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: How many Yeah, mine's eight hundred gsm, So it's really fuffy,

645
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 5: but it's a great deal. Like, yeah, you know linked

646
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 5: it's a great doner with sheets.

647
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: What quality number of sheets.

648
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 5: The threat count kind of doesn't matter, to be honest,

649
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 5: it's kind of like an old like reference. It's kind

650
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 5: of it's more about whether you have like long staple fibers.

651
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: I'm getting into my bed styling.

652
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 5: No, like you have like short staple fibers and long

653
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 5: sable fibers. Of what it means is because obviously sheets

654
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 5: are woven. If it's a short fiber, it like sticks up.

655
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 5: Wherever it's a longer one, it's folded down, so you

656
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 5: get less pilling on the sheets, less of the balls,

657
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 5: so they last a long less.

658
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you know whether it's long this week

659
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: or short week?

660
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 5: If you buy from like a like one of those

661
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 5: like boutique websites and stuff like that, they'll be able

662
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 5: to tell you. But a lot of brands are getting

663
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 5: a lot better with like putting the information on their products.

664
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 4: So if you go to the description, it'll say long

665
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 4: weave or short we've Okaysually you.

666
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: Can always ask.

667
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, literally, okay, let's go into shopping.

Speaker 5: I think it depends on what kind of depends on

673
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 5: what it is. Like I love an outlet, Like there's

674
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 5: a really good provincial home living outlet in South Melbourne,

675
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 5: but there should be one. There's a couple of Like

676
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 5: in Sydney there's the Shed which is mcm houses outlet.

677
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 3: There's like a Globe West outlet.

00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 5: But I really like I like because I kind of

679
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 5: working interiors and home I've kind of progressed like and

680
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 5: like spent a little bit of money on the furniture.

681
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: Do you know aways.

682
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 5: I know that it's not everyone's thing, but like a

683
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 5: lot of my stuff is like Globe West Sarah Ellison,

684
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 5: very Australian design focused stuff home wears wise, Like, I

685
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 5: really like Fenton and Fenton. Like someone asked me the

686
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 5: other day, where can I get a really good standing

687
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 5: lamp that's not over a thousand dollars because standing lamps

688
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 5: are crazy. Fenton invent and have some really good colorful

689
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 5: ones with like the tassels, like mid century vibes.

690
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 3: I really like Etsy to find really cool responsors and

691
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: stuff like.

692
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 5: That, like things that are like one offs. Facebook Marketplace

693
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 5: is incredible, especially if there's like a brand that you

694
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 5: love and.

695
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: You really want to get a good deal.

696
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 5: You can pick up some really good designer furniture on

697
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 5: Facebook Marketplace or even just some like you know, retrovines

698
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 5: that are really cool.

699
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about like dopamine bedding, where's the best place

700
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: to buy that?

701
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 5: I think Homie's doing really cool stuff with their bedding.

702
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 5: They went into like doing pillows, but they've just released

703
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 5: like a bed linen range and they've got this awesome

704
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 5: stripe versible so like you can have like yeah, you

705
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 5: can flip it over and it has different colors.

706
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fun.

707
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 5: Pillar Talk is actually really up in its game. Like

708
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 5: I think they're doing some really cool stuff with doing

709
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 5: like different designs. It doesn't break the bank.

710
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: I have a spicy question, what are your thoughts on

711
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: Kmart home wears?

712
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 5: So the thing is we came out home where is

713
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 5: I think like a lot of people can get sucked

714
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 5: in kind of like I Kia, you buy everything from

715
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 5: my care, you buy everything from Kmart. And I think

716
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 5: the thing is when things are more budget friendly, they're

717
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 5: usually smaller, So if you buy a lot of Camart furniture,

718
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 5: I don't know if you notice, but it feels all

719
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 5: kind of like trunk, Like.

720
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: It's like you're shrunk in the dry. Yeah, it kind of.

721
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 5: Feels like, yeah, like decorating for like a teenage bedroom

722
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 5: sometimes because like the because like the buffet or something

723
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 5: like that is like not that not bigger. Yes, sometimes

724
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 5: I think it's cool to do like a Facebook marketplace find,

725
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 5: but obviously, like every every store has like cool stuff.

726
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 5: I think it's good when it's like based on a trend,

727
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 5: but I don't love it when like brands want.

728
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: To dupe like a smaller business. Yes, I think it's

729
00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 3: fine if it's like say, for instance.

730
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 5: Like bou Clay it was huge, Yeah, everyone was a yeah,

731
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 5: so came I came with booklate.

732
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 3: It's like cool, I'm gonna get it, like I'm gonna

733
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: get on the book late trend. That didn't cost me

734
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 3: a fortune.

735
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 5: But when it's like some boutique artisan that does really

736
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: cool vases and then they come up with like a

737
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 5: vessel that's like a smaller version, it's like, I don't.

738
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, I agree with that, and I think that

739
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense. I also was seeing a

740
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 4: TikTok series from a creator and it made a really

741
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 4: she made a really good point and she went, I

742
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 4: looked around and my home felt like a Kmart store,

743
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: and like this is not just say we love came

744
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 4: up with some vines as well, like this is not

745
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: to say like in a previous episode, we were talking

746
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 4: about things we think are a cult and we're like,

747
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 4: Kmart is one of them, and we're in it, baby,

748
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 4: Like I think they's absolutely and lives like also, furnishing

749
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 4: your home in your early twenties really hard.

750
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: But like you said, Facebook, Marketplace, look up free. Just

751
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: look up the word free. You'll find a bunch of shit.

752
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: But she looked around and she was like, I felt

753
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: like I was living in a Kmart store. And she

754
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: built a whole series around d K martifying her home.

755
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: It's really interesting. It was really cool.

756
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: So I think that's also a good thing to lean

757
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: into and be conscious of when you shop with.

758
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: Not even just came up. But like you said, ike,

759
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: people fall into the colt right because.

760
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: It's like that trap where you're walking, I don't look

761
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: at that, that's there.

762
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: They have to styled perfectly. I'll take one of everything else.

763
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: It does make it easier, but.

764
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 5: Then you also think that it's cheaper. But sometimes it's not,

765
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: like it's actually better to like go to came out

766
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 5: after and buy like the tupperware containers from that versus

767
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 5: the Ike ones because you're not at the time like

768
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 5: everything is such a good deal, but it's like, actually,

769
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 5: like some things are a really good deal and then

770
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 5: other things aren't.

771
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: On that note, let's play save or splurge.

772
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 4: So we're going to give you a category and you're

773
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: going to say save or splurge.

774
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: So number one glassware.

775
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 5: It's like a save and a splurge really big one,

776
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 5: like you're going to have some cheapys, are gonna have

777
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 5: some nice ones for like, Okay, I'm going to say

778
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 5: save because you can get some really good looking glassware

779
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 5: for cheap and also so.

780
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: They can break.

781
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: If I'm going to splurge on something, I'm saving on

782
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: glass that she it's too easy to break.

783
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: And also you can get some really beautiful glass were

784
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: from Vinie's. Oh yeah, save or splurge bedding.

785
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: Look, look you can do like the thing is, you

786
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: can do both, but I think splurge.

787
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 5: I agree, Yeah, I think splurge on the bedland. And

788
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 5: also you can't buy the bedline in secondhand. I don't think,

789
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 5: you know, if you're going to buy it, buy the

790
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 5: thing you really love, yes.

791
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: You know, I mean if you're going to use it

792
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 3: all the time.

793
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 5: And also you definitely do not need to have as

794
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: many sheets and dove sets as I have.

795
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 3: I think some people think that that's the thing.

796
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 5: But because obviously it's like my job obviously, like I'm from,

797
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: like I'm showing all different styles, I think the best

798
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 5: route is to have like a summer set, Like have

799
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 5: a summer you kind of want to have two sheet

800
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 5: sets and two Douner sets because you want to stop

801
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 5: them weekly and you don't want to have to think about, oh,

802
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 5: I've got to wash this.

803
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 2: It's like washing your hair.

804
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 3: So if you have like.

805
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 5: Two summer and two winter sets, which I think that's heaps. Yes,

806
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 5: I think that's great, And they're different color so you

807
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 5: can interchange them.

808
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 4: And you get the dopamine here to when it's a

809
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 4: different color and you're like now bed, yeah, new bed,

810
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: I moved. I agree, Okay, next, savele splurge lighting.

811
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 5: I think save it's hard though, Like it's hard to

812
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 5: find good lamps, and when they do, they sell out,

813
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 5: Like I brought one from Temple and Webster and it's

814
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 5: sold out like the next day, because it's like finding

815
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: a really good lamp at a good break. But things

816
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 5: for lamps too is they're kind of trendy items, like

817
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 5: I wish they weren't as trendy, but I feel like

818
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 5: lamps in my mind, I always end up not liking

819
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 5: them first out of all the things I buy, and

820
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 5: kind of like, I am over that lamp.

821
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: Why did I buy that? Or was I thinking of

822
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 3: with that?

823
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: Savele splurge artwork?

824
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 5: Ah, I think splurge because I think you don't really

825
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: need artwork. People always ask me for artwork advice, and

826
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 5: I don't really have any of the ones that I've done.

827
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 5: I've made myself, so I just like got to be

828
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 5: canvas and I've got some render and painting.

829
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 3: It's not very I think that's.

830
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: A good tip. I think that's a save then, like

831
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: make your own art. You don't have to be super

832
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 2: I mean everything can be like.

833
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 5: But I think if you're going to go down the

834
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 5: art route where you really need the art, like you

835
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 5: want the art, I think just like find one that

836
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 5: you really connect with and resonate with. I feel like

837
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 5: sometimes in a commercial space you can use art to

838
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 5: kind of tell the story. In a home, I don't

839
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 5: think you need the art to tell the story, Like

840
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 5: I find I'll walk into a room and if someone's

841
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 5: got the art, I'll just like look at the art

842
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 5: and I'm like, cool, I've met up my mind about

843
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 5: this whole room now because of the art rather than

844
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 5: acknowledging everything else that's going on in the space.

845
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. And also like supporting small local artists.

846
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, And like I love like a vintage poster, Like

847
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 5: I really want to find one because I really like

848
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 5: graphic design and stuff like that. So I feel like

849
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 5: those really cool large vintage posters are awesome, but they're

850
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 5: still pricing okay.

851
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: And my last one is save us splurge furniture.

852
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 5: You can do keep saying both, I think, what about

853
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 5: what do you do? The era that I'm in now,

854
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 5: I'm in a bit of a splurge, but I'm buying

855
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 5: them at like the warehouse sales, so I'm still getting

856
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 5: them at a discount, like you know what I mean,

857
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 5: Like it's that ship was I never buy anything evil

858
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: bras go to those warehouse sales, pick up like the

859
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 5: like the gorgeous like marble coffee table that I have.

860
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: I've had for like three and a half years. I

861
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 5: never plan on getting rid of that coffee. Yes, yeah,

862
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,800
Speaker 5: people come over like that like that is stunning.

863
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, yeah.

864
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 5: Married with that, you don't need as much homewhere. It's

865
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 5: like a lot of the furniture. If good stuff does

866
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 5: the talking, you don't have to kind of like do

867
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 5: lots of bits and lots of layers. Sometimes it doesn't

868
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 5: even suit it, do you know what I mean? Like

869
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 5: I put cushions on my sofar, but like the sofa

870
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 5: itself is like good. It makes the chop a lot easier,

871
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 5: which I know is like something to say. But like

872
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 5: I've saved up for the things and put more conscious

873
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: effort into making sure that I get those things because

874
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 5: I'm aware that it's worth it.

875
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 3: I don't know, you can have a furniture forever.

876
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 5: Like I had the thing in my stories yesterday where

877
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 5: someone said, like, what's your biggest interior design? Iic, and

878
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 5: I said that people are more willing to spend money

879
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 5: on clothing that they'll wear. A couple of times, but

880
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 5: they don't like they want us don't want to spend

881
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 5: a dime on furniture, but they're going to use every

882
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 5: day generally, Like you're gonna buy that beautiful coat that's

883
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 5: like nine hundred dollars and you're gonna like, oh, I'm

884
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 5: gonna wear forever and blah blah. It's like you use

885
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 5: a coffee table every day, Yeah, you don't want to

886
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 5: get the coffee table. And I think it's to do

887
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 5: with like we worry so much about other people outside

888
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 5: are thinking and not thinking about how we feel about

889
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 5: ourselves in our home, because I don't know.

890
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 3: I feel like your home is the biggest life lesson

891
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: for sure.

892
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 5: Like people think that home is kind of maybe a

893
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 5: bit materialistic or like a bit boring, But I really

894
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 5: think the way that you treat your home is ultimately

895
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 5: a reflection of how you treat yourself. And I know

896
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 5: that's really deep, but it really is. If you care

897
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 5: for your home, you care for your space, it's like

898
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 5: you looking after yourself. And sometimes I think we take

899
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 5: ourselves a granted that we're like, oh, I'm always going

900
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 5: to be here. It's like I don't need to look

901
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 5: after me I'll look after others doing those extra bits.

902
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: Having a comfortable bed stuff is not really good for

903
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 5: you because that you're looking after you.

904
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. I kind of want to go

905
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: home now.

906
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to go by lamp.
