You know what weather home for 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: you is a castle or a cottage. 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: It doesn't really matter. 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: You know why, because luxury does not a great home make. 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: It is design that matters most. I invite you to 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: think about it this way. I was thinking about this 21 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Somebody asked me to to 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: kind of summarize that idea in a shorter. 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: Thought you know, we talk about the home. 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Improvement industry, and this show, I guess falls in the 25 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: general category of the home improvement industry, home improvement, home 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Improvement TV, you know, all of that stuff. But this 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: is how I see it, how I view it. New 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: parts for your home. You're fixing stuff that is home repair. 29 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: That's not home improvement. That's just repair. A new code 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: of paint that is home maintenance. That's just keeping it up, 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: keeping it rolling. But design, introducing new design, change alteration 32 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: in that sense that that is home improvement. That is 33 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: why I say when it comes to transforming a home, 34 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, it's fun to you know, change out the 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: toilet to a new toilet, but that is not transformation 36 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: of a home. That's not changing the radical story of 37 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: a home. And that's what we're all about helping you 38 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: do every single week here. Good design makes all the difference. 39 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: Every house deserves it, every house should enjoy it. 40 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: And because good. 41 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: Design is so powerful, once it's at work in your home, 42 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: then every house has a path forward to becoming a 43 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: great home. I believe that with all of my heart. 44 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: That's what we've been preaching here for the last nine years, 45 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: and we will continue to do exactly that today on 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 1: the show.

Let's 298 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: talk about what makes an outstanding artificial tree. 299 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 3: Okay, So for us, we hadn't found any artificial trees 300 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: on the market that we're up to our standards with 301 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 3: the rest of the products that we carry, so we 302 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: had to design our own. So all of our trees 303 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 3: we design ourselves. Which we're in a unique position where 304 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 3: we're just a single store capable of influencing how these 305 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: products are made, where we hear directly from the customers 306 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 3: what they're looking for, what's important to them. They wanted 307 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 3: stronger branches, they wanted more realistic shapes, they wanted spacing 308 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 3: to decorate. A lot of the trees you see online 309 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: are just like solid bushes. You can't fit an ornament 310 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 3: inside of it. You're just decorating along the outside. 311 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna pause you there because we've just tripped 312 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: over one of the important to core principles at least 313 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to a tree, right, is that most 314 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: people go to the tree lot and they're like, let's 315 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: find the fullest tree, the fullest tree, right, And so 316 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: because you're looking at your evaluating the tree empty. Right, 317 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: So like doug Firs, Douglas firs are the kind of 318 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: the classic super full tree, right, But a lot of 319 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: people go with Noble furs when it goes to like 320 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: a natural tree lot because they've come to understand that 321 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: those tiers and those spaces in between, that's like, that's 322 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: what Rosie is taking advantage of right now to fill 323 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: with ornamentation so that it actually fits. So everybody was 324 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: looking for the full tree, but you've had the opportunity 325 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: to design them intentionally with space. 326 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 3: Even our fullest looking tree we've designed with the space 327 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 3: to fit ornaments inside. So it kind of fools you 328 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: that it's a big full tree, but you can still 329 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 3: decorate it just like how Rosie's doing right now with 330 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 3: those eight inch ornaments. And we've also designed the lighting system. 331 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 3: So our biggest competition, I would say on Christmas trees 332 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 3: are the online retailers. And if you research how people 333 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 3: feel about them, they buy a lot of unlit trees 334 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 3: from those retailers because they don't trust the lights. They've 335 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: had a bad experience with the lights from those retailers. 336 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 3: So we've designed our lighting system where each branch has 337 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 3: its own string, and we provide extra light strings in 338 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 3: the box for if you know, life happens if a 339 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 3: pet choose a wire, or your son or daughter breaks 340 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 3: a wire or something like that, you could just string 341 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: a new string on there. It only affects one branch. 342 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 3: And then this year we've had the functionality to do 343 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: the warm white multicolor and even the pastel, which has 344 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 3: been kind of a game changer for people that that pastel. 345 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I am completely enamored with the pastel. Okay, 346 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: So if you guys don't know what pastel is or 347 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: what it looks like, we can change this one right. 348 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: Oh oh oh okay, So so this tree is capable 349 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to try and get this right here. 350 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: Let's see this tree is capable of warm white that's 351 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: what you guys are looking at now, or. 352 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: Full multicolor. Okay, Oh gair audience are like, oh all right. 353 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. So many, i'd say most trees 354 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: on the market. Maybe I'm maybe I'm mistaken, But most trees, 355 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: they'll they'll blink on or they'll like this will fade 356 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: down and if they go if they can do both, 357 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: that'll fade down, and then the whites will fade up. Yeah, okay, 358 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: the whites will fade down to nothing, and then the 359 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: multicolor will fade up and the then there's all. 360 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: Those disco effects. 361 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: Right, But what happens if we cross fade from multicolor 362 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: to white? 363 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 2: Okay? 364 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: In other words, it never dims down. Let me get okay, 365 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: let's see what happens here. What happens if we cross fade? 366 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: So if this multicolor fades too white, then what happens. 367 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: Is it's happening right now. It's going to happen very. 368 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: Slowly we get halfway through. First of all, the tree 369 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: never goes dark. And secondly, at the mid stage between 370 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: white and cross fade, I'm going to get this wrong, Brian. 371 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 2: Where is here? You hit the right button? 372 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: Here at the mid phase, when it's half white, you 373 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: get this pastel and I don't know what it is 374 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: about it. It just has this kind of vintage cool 375 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: glow to it. 376 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: Were dipping your toe into multicolor without having to go 377 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: all the way over. 378 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: There without fully committing. 379 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, amazing lights, amazing trees, and I love now 380 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: you guys are you're introducing more species that are kind 381 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: of a little bit more amorphous with like the uneven 382 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: branches sticking out. They're not perfect cones anymore, right, It's. 383 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 3: Kind of that naturalistic look is kind of more popular. 384 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 3: So one of our trends kind of trending with the 385 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 3: Ralph Lauren type of trend that's going around, is this 386 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 3: more natural textures, natural shapes, a little bit of more spacing. 387 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: This tree in particular, it'll have a long branch right 388 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 3: next to a short branch to kind of give you 389 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 3: that spacing a little bit more natural looking than a 390 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 3: perfect looking tree. 391 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: And the other thing too, and this is whether you're 392 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: decorating your own tree at home with your own lights, 393 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: or you're looking for a tree like this to shop for. 394 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: The other thing about your trees is that there are 395 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: lights at the tips of every one of the branch 396 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: to correct so that you can pile ornaments onto this 397 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: tree and you never end up covering up a light. 398 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 3: They're the only trees that are made with light strings 399 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: specific for Christmas trees. Everyone else uses long strings that 400 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 3: they wrap around so the lights end up where they 401 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 3: end up. You see the spider web of all the 402 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 3: wires going across the tree. These the light strings are 403 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 3: shaped like a hand, so you can put a light 404 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 3: at the end of each prominent tip. And when you 405 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 3: fully decorate it, you're not hiding any of the lights, so. 406 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: It's just maximizing all of those efforts. 407 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: All right, We're going to talk more about Christmas decor, 408 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: Holiday decor and stuff that you can find at Al Dick. 409 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 2: When we return.
