 Hey listeners, welcome back and today we are back in our normal places recording this podcast stitched together with wifi. Maybe a Coke Zero and wait. Mabel, stop. That is not a toy. Okay. As I was saying, we're recording remotely today, which means you get the full unfiltered behind the scenes experience complete with our kitten Mabel, who has decided that everything on my desk is now a part of her personal playground. Notes, toy microphone cord. Absolute favorite toy. My sanity hanging on by a thread. But honestly, that kind of perfectly sums up what we're talking about today, getting back in what's going on in projects in real life, how they don't always move in a straight line. We get things done like they're supposed to be, but the most important thing is to remember. Every step forward counts. And if you're listening along while working on your own space, we hope that this gives you a little extra push. One idea. One decision, one small win at a time. Alright, before Mabel unplugs something, let's get to the podcast.  Call or Text our Hotline and leave a message : 18594121572 Download our Mobile Shopping App Store Instagram:@housebyjsd Online Store Instagram: @housefloral Facebook: House by JSD Shop Online @ Housefloral.com

 In today's podcast, we are back in the car, but this time on the way home from market. And let me tell you, you can hear how tired we are in our voices and maybe even a little sick. It is not for the faint of heart and hmm, doing it as you get older. Let me tell you. It is not fun. But what is fun is seeing a lot of old friends that you've met around the country year after year and all of the new beautiful stuff. So we discussed some of our new finds, including a new honey hole that I found I'm so thankful for, as well as lots of beautiful ribbon, getting a little sticker shock on a few items that are out there and catching up with our friend John Mark, enjoying his ribbon. So Stewart, press the gas and let's get home and let's get to this podcast. Our friend Jennifer we met at dinner, her Etsy shop. Our friend Brian Lane. With friends John Mark and Callie.

 What do Dwayne and I do when Stuart is out of town? We have a real deep heart to heart....that seems natural, right? Well, in today's episode, it goes deeper than design. It's about joy, stress, boundaries, and the tough but beautiful work of creating a life that feels right to all of us. We talk about the whispers we ignored until they get louder. The wounded birds that we love and try to help. The energy we allow in our circles and what it means to truly control your own destiny. Along the way, we share our own stories of dismissal, which was not fun. Resilience and the joy we've built, not just in business, but in our hearts. If you've ever felt stuck, if you're searching for your own God wink, or if you need just a reminder that joy is possible even in the middle of the mess, this episode's for you.

 Today we're diving into one of our favorite topics, how travel sparks inspiration and sneaks its way into the way we design our home or for clients, whether it's the art we bring back, the textures we touch, the sense we remember. Or the views that stick around in our minds forever. Travel has a way of reshaping the spaces we create. Now we'll be talking to Stuart about his wide ranging collection of art across the globe, and why I very deliberately decided not to purchase a certain wooden phallic sculpture and Belize, I'm not joking. True story. This episode is about more than just souvenirs. It's about the stories and sparks of inspiration we gather along the way, and how they shape the way we feel our homes with meaning.

 You know that saying What's old is new again? Well, turns out grandma's living room is having to come back and we're here for it. This trend goes by about a dozen different names, grand millennial, new traditional, nostalgic chic, anything with the word heritage, take your pick. But at the end of the day, it's really about layering cozy textures, rich colors, and those familiar slightly old fashioned details that make a house feel like, well, a home. Now don't panic. We're not saying you need to raid your grandma's attic and drag out her floral sofa unless you want to, in which case respect. But we are talking about how you can add small touches, patterns, fabrics, colors that add a sense of warmth and history without feeling stuffy. In today's episode, we will walk through what people are adding, which colors are stealing the spotlight right now, and how you can dip your toe into this trend without tossing everything you already own. So grab a cozy sweater. And bonus points if you stole it from your grandparents' closet, and let's get cozy.

 You know that moment when you realize you have found your people. Well, for our guest today, Noelle, it happened with a cocktail in hand and for getting in trouble for talking too much to a complete stranger. Sounds like she would fit in just fine around here. She's definitely our kind of joy to drop. Noelle is not only one of our biggest fans, a mega fan as we like to call her, but she's also a design client of Stuart's,  and she's also the boss lady. I mean THE boss lady behind CycleU, a fitness brand here in Lexington. She founded to be as much about community and joy is about cycling or sweating. It's a fun conversation about finding joy when it happens unexpectedly and holding on just enough to let it grow. Personally, my favorite part is when Stewart got in trouble with her doing a project. I mean, hey, I have to enjoy mistakes when they happen, but don't worry, she still loves him and they still work together. He had to get something right. When we recorded this podcast, she was in her office at CycleU perched right above the studio floor. So if you hear some of the music pumping, that was just her way of keeping us motivated to keep moving. Alright, let's get to the podcast. I hope you have your ankle warmers on and are stretched.

 Well, friends, we are back on the road. Yes. Once again, you are joining us from a very glamorous recording studio known as a rental car on I65. And before we get started, full disclosure, there may have been.. okay, there definitely was a tiny audio hiccup. Thanks to my fat fingers and this blasted phone. Well, I'll explain it when it happens, so you kinda get a full picture there.  But nonetheless, Jeremy had just rolled back in fresh off of vacation. So naturally his mind was still in relaxed mode and was also still thinking about the ways that I might've been comfortable slash uncomfortable in different spaces. So this had me thinking when we have people over at the house, what ways do we go about making our home more comfortable and welcoming for them? So today we are sharing some of our favorite ways to help guests feel right at home in our home. So they're comfortable, happy, but they won't stay too long. They'll get on back, . , So buckle back up. Ignore the background road noise and well again, my fat fingers and let's hit the road together again. The Bag Jeremy Mentioned.

 Have you ever walked through a tour of homes or Builder showcase and found yourself thinking, what were they thinking? Guilty over here. I definitely have, well, in today's podcast we're talking about how these home tours can be just as educational for what not to do as they are for inspiration. And guys, we have seen some things, I mean, awkward things, design fails. I. Even some personal items left out that really made us question if the homeowners knew that this was even open to the public. Oh my God, I was so embarrassed for them. And yes, I will be telling a story from years ago that still lives in my head, rent free. And to be honest, it still lives in our friends group chat. Let's just say it left us wondering what exactly went on in that house. So get your admission ticket out and get ready for some home tour tee, some gentle design roast, and some lessons you won't find in a builder's brochure. Right? Let's get to it.

 Alright, y'all, this episode is a little different because we are not at home. We're actually recording this one from the car driving down I 75 on the way to market in Atlanta. Yep. We are literally taking the podcast on the road. We're heading down to by spring for 2026, if you can believe it. And I figured well this is the perfect time to bring you all along, so the sound might be a little bumpier than usual. But you'll get a real behind the scenes look at what market's like from the passenger seat in part one recorded. On the way down, I'll talk about how we prepare for the trip, what we're hoping to find, testing out a new shoe that might have been a bad idea, and why we weren't entirely sure if Dwayne was even gonna make it into market. And then on part two, recorded. On the way back you'll hear about the new fines, some new ribbon vendors that we're really excited about a lamp company that we haven't bought from in years because they got a second chance from Stewart. He was very kind and updates on shoes, the food, and most importantly Dwayne, he did get into the show. So buckle up literally and come along for the ride. This is our market Road trip Recap.

 Today's episode is a joyful ride through the woods, the stage and straight to the heart of what it means to truly be yourself and be comfortable in your skin. We're sitting down with our friend Amber, who's lived a lot of lives from romping through the forest as a little girl to strutting across the pageant stage as a beauty queen to gracing our TV screens as a host, and now, well, she's best known to her friends as the Feral Mountain Princess. That's a true story.  Amber has the incredible way of finding herself in the wild, both literally and metaphorically. She's an avid hiker, a seeker of joy actually. She is the og. Joy dropper. She's where we learned the term, and someone who's learned to come home to herself by coming home to nature. Our chat with her is full of laughter, surprising stories, and a beautiful reminder that you do not have to fit a mold to feel completely at peace with who you are. So grab a cozy drink or lace up your hiking boots, and let's enjoy this journey with the one and only Feral Mountain Princess.  Call or Text our Hotline and leave a message : 18594121572 Download our Mobile Shopping App Store Instagram:@housebyjsd Online Store Instagram: @housefloral Facebook: House by JSD Shop Online @ Housefloral.com

 If you're anything like us, we love a tip or trick that changes the way we do something for the better. I mean, right. Don't you? Those little and often easy things can totally make a difference in our day, and it never fails that someone we know, knew, and for some reason never divulged, RUDE! Well, today, the three of us are not gatekeeping our favorites that we use in our homes. Any longer. We each are sharing tips and tricks of things that we do that have totally changed the way that our home works for us, both design-wise and functionally. And of course, as you would've imagined, there's a few laughs along the way, and we learned that Dwayne purposefully hid a light switch from his parents. Honestly, it makes total sense.
