S2:E19 Our Take on Home/Builder Tours
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.

jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Okay, boys, today we are discussing, to,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:No, we're gonna discuss why there's a jar of sauerkraut on your desk.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:well, uh, that is from our lovely, uh, audience of one Kim who helped us out. And, you know, in that, uh, one of our previous podcasts I mentioned my love of sauerkraut. And so when we got back from market, her hope was to have my desk covered in jars of sour ground. But that's, that's as far as it got, I guess. I don't know.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Wow.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:know, it's the thought that comes. I need to ask her if she wants me to take it home. I figure like it's her, our crowd. I don't, I mean, I'll eat it, but, you know. Uh, okay, so
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:What I

dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:that. And you, you did have a good time. I think this is our, is this our first podcast? No, we had the, the market one.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:since then. Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Okay. Yeah.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:a good time. It was
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:All right. We all right. Good. Love
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Who's listening? It's just a blur sometimes, isn't it? It's just a blur.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:is a blur.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah, I will.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:can get, we can get to today's episode. Um, we're discussing, tour of homes, kind of, uh, do you all like to go to those. Because we, I, we love to go to'em, but I usually go in a caddy way. I
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:I probably would like to do, I don't know, it's slipping around from one hot house.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:house
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:another. I like the concept of it, and maybe if you drive me around, drop me off, I'd probably do it. But honestly, right. It's like, is it like, uh, I've never done it. I've never gone to one of them, nothing negative. Uh, I come back to I'm, I'm either here or I'm mowing the yard or I'm doing somebody's house, so that's, it feels like playtime. Uh, and so I just don't ever stop to do it. But, uh, did you en, do you enjoy those, Stewart, do you, have you ever done any.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:any?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Uh, we participated in, we participated.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:we've
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:We participated.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:has been many years since I've actually the tour. Two years in a row. I was a judge for the tour homes. Um. Which was a train wreck. So, I mean, it just, it just was. But um, like I said, that was years ago and
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:It's uh,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:you
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:you have to want drive around.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:be nosy. I
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I think, you know, because, and I get it,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:tour homes.'cause you tour different parts of whatever city you're in, you can't just go to every house on the same street,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:you know,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:'cause
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:more likely
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:probably be by the same builder. And you're
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:supposed to look at all different things,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:or all different designs or all
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:So it's like almost finding where's Waldo. You have to drive the difference subdivisions and No,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:It's not that difficult,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:not that difficult, Jeremy.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah, well it, it, it's different. So, uh, here in our area, most of them are homes in different neighborhoods all over town. Right. And, and so I know that it's the same for probably communities around in Louisville. And, and I have to be honest, I, we haven't been to one of their home orama in, in. I don't know how many years, but usually they have it, they're all in like a or they're all in the same area, or, uh, they're all on the same street. So sometimes you do have to drive, um, you know, a little bit more than others, but you don't have to go to every house. Like you can pick and choose. that's, I, I like that about the one that we have here. And of course, you know, there's builder tours and there's renovation tours, and there's I mean, there's, you know, there's all kinds of different tours. I guess I'm gonna say it that way. Um, so we're not discussing one specific, um. One or one type. But I, I had, um, been on one and I that last year and I had been thinking about it because there were like just horror stories of just like what I saw and people always, um, someone say, oh, I love doing these.'cause they always gimme so much inspiration. And then I walk in and I'm like, well honey, this tells me what in the hell not to do. Because this is, this is a mess. Uh, so, but yeah, but no, I, I,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:What have you seen in the past? So it sounds like you've seen things in the past that's kind of caught your attention. Are, are we doing one here in Lexington soon or,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:they had, uh, I think they had a builder tour there. Maybe it might be going on now. I think, I think it was last weekend and maybe next weekend too. I
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:well, I've missed it and then our audience will be Okay.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:So, um, but what you've seen in the past. In other cities and in Lexington.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Uhhuh.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Is that fair? Okay. In the past.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:like to try'em out.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Okay. Okay. So you, you, you're reliving nightmares,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:So
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:you're hoping that people go see it this year, that they are inspired. So what have you seen in the past that has, uh, not, uh, touched your inner soul?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Well, you know, uh, this is as recent as of last year. We, we went into a brand new house and it was, you know, probably well over a million dollars and they had glazed cabinetry, glazed.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Okay,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:rope
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:there. Explain what that means. Not everybody even starts to understand what that note that means.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:in kitchens, you know, if you, you have your cabinet front and you can have them painted. So they're all like one solid color. And then they have, um, some, uh, cabinet. Companies have options to add a glaze. And so they'll rub some kind of colored glaze, brown, black, gray, white cream, uh, into the crevices. And so then you get a little bit of color differentiation in those, uh, lines. Right? Like, is there, you have a better way to describe that.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah, no.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:So I'm gonna show it this way, that what this
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:is,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:is, I also said this is what not to do. So imagine a house built in 1983 that is raised paneled, formal cream colored, and then they took watered down paint, basically in charcoal colored, and they just
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:smeared
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:on the front of the cabinets and then they wiped it back off. And whatever was in the residue, in the corners and the crevices. They left it in, it dried and it became chalky and charcoal and it kind of highlighted that and it almost looks like dust has settled in there,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yes.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:through glaze and they thought that was attractive.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm. Well, this was a new house
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:And so I have been undoing that for the last, and Stewart, I'm sure, and you, I had been undoing that for the last 15 years and having to take these beautiful cabinetry and paint them. White or cream or beige or tan or green to get rid of the horrific glaze. So you're telling me that somebody is trying to bring that back from the debt?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Well, I'm not gonna say they're trying to bring it back from the dead. What I'm saying is they still doing it and it needs to be ripped the hell out.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah. Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:was a
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Well, you don't do it for, okay, look, you can make bad decisions.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:You
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:can make bad decisions, and that's a bad decision. I don't care who you are. Right.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:if I
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:If you love it, don't, don't listen to the podcast today'cause I'm just not gonna let you have it. Uh, versus not. And if you've got the cabinetry and you love it, okay, fine. Sorry. Um, I'm not gonna tell you, paint your cabinets. Um, so somebody out there in the home builder world, some designer or builder or builder's wife who does, they know what to do in, sorry, builder's wife, uh, you might edit that out. Um, said,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:or,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:yeah, I probably would edit that. Um.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Girlfriend.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Right? Said, oh, let's just smear that on there because it's trendy and it's back again. What are you saying to the people? Stewart, what would you tell them?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Oh,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:you go.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:you go.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:no.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:and if I remember correctly, like this, this was a while, a while past, but it was like a, they tried to do like a more modern home, so there were lots of modern details, and then you had the GL cabinetry on top of it, and it was like a traditional raise panel door. I mean, it just felt like, oh Lord, like I, I don't know what they were thinking, but it was not good. And if I remember correctly, the house was not sold. It was up for sale, and I thought, good
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Wonder wasn't sold. Huh?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:It was, it was not
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Okay.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Okay.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Learned that lesson. Don't do, it's
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:once another.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:that unappealing.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:with the that.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:been to, and I, and I always look at this first is like, oh my God, why did they put that lighting in here? Because
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:is
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Horrible.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Or it doesn't even match the
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:isn't
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Even
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:for the house.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:the, it's like.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:they got that lighting vendor to give it to them for free to hang it
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:be on a
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:So that's what they did through the whole house.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:They didn't pay any attention to what it should have
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:You know,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Absolutely.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:me.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm. no, it, that is, uh, I definitely think in like some of the more recent ones I've been to, it felt very, oh, this is what they had in stock. This is what they could let me borrow. This is what they put up. Um, and so it's just really out of place. They're never the right color, they're not the right scale, they're not the right proportion, and most importantly, the it doesn't give off enough light. This is what I don't understand. So this is why I'm gonna beg. This is gonna be the my beg and bleed for our listeners. The next time you go on one of these tours, I want you to go to the bathroom. Not physically use it, but go inside of the rest of the, the restroom, go to the primary and see if they have the lights turned on. Chances are they probably don't.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:don't
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:And they don't want you to have it on, turn them lights on. Now, I want you to imagine getting ready in that room on a dreary day. You can't see. I mean, and this is actually, this was, uh, this was relatively recent. Literally went into a bathroom. My husband was with me. We went in and this was like a, I, it was a kids' bathroom, but still there was. vanity
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:have to see the brush their teeth, and put deodorant on.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm. Yeah. And it
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:right? Right.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:uh, had one vanity light with three lights above the, the sink and then one recessed in the, in the shower and it was in a bathroom where they're gonna up putting a shower curtain. So you gotta think when you pull that shower curtain, all the light's gonna kinda get stuck in there. It's gonna get filtered.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Mm-hmm.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:no other light. Like there is no way anybody can get ready. bathroom. So
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:You know what this reminds me of? I'm gonna tell you a story from 1983,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I was two
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:and it's a story. So it was just 12. Uh, it's, it's, it's Manie Clark and she's long deceased from this world, and she was an interior designer and lovely and quirky and antique dealer, and she had a six foot tall bronze.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:uh,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Pan in her dining room on Mintel Park and Manie was all about 80 when, uh, she shopped with me and she had gray hair and it was kind of always up in a kind of a weird clip thing. And she was about a size zero and she wore leggings at 83, uh, years old in 1983. Right? So she was pre yoga bitch, pre Kardashian.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:those
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:were really.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:pantyhose. They weren't
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:So they could have been. So, you know, I always quite, you know these, I always think it's Kardashians. I dunno if it's true or not, but these women that put, uh, eye makeup on and it's really dark and kinda like raccoon eyes. Right. You know what I'm talking about. Right. And really a lot of makeup,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:up,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Manie was doing that in 1983 at 83 years old with leggings. And the other thing that she did is she wore men's polo cologne. She was quirky, but very talented. But every time I look at her, I would say to myself, she looks like she puts her makeup on in the dark. Well, I visited her house one day and lo and behold, you see this is a segue. I go into her black flocked dames wallpapered bathroom
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:oh
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:you couldn't see your hand four feet in front of it. And I went, oh yeah,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:does put makeup on in the dark.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:the dark
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:you go.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:in a flocked room.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:So
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:In a flocked bathroom. So now kids, we don't need dark bathrooms because even though Manie was cute and quirky and she could pull it off,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Most stuff,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:most of you can't. So we don't need more re eyes, right?
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:God.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:light. This is like, they're a great place to look and see like, oh yeah, no, I need more light. Like, let's, let's always make sure we got like a recess over the sink as well, is the vanity. And the
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yes.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:thing, this is the thing I remember most recently is that a lot of these, um, the builders have started putting in those. God awful. And listen, if you have this, I'm sorry if it puts out enough light for you, good for you. But they're, I just, I can't stand'em. Are those, um, the mirrors that have the lights built into'em?
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Mm-hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:There's never enough light that comes out of'em. Like you can't just depend on
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:No, it's a supplement.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:a su
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Right.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:a supplement and it's also, I don't see that as like an architectural element. Right. I did that for my bar only musically and heavily judge, but we use that as the nightlight or the, the modern aesthetic. As much as I'm really thinking I'm getting light from it, it really is just the look that you wanted.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:It's just a big
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:mirror is all
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah. That's all it is. Yes.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:doesn't cast any light on your face. None. Mm-hmm. No. Mm-hmm. M unlike those
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Glow worm.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:had in the 1980s mm-hmm. they, like, I
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:What, what's this new trend of you're seeing these very modern lights and they're all, let's say circles or something, and they're all LED lights in them that first, I hate the color of them, but they're super, super modern. I'm seeing these in houses and I'm like, I just, I just think that's not an attractive thing. Did you see,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:have
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:seen that in the houses anywhere?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:You mean
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Uh, it, it.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:a horizontal ring? Is that what you're talking
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's out there and I just,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah. I just recently
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:just look at that and I'm thinking that looks like this just right off the boat from China and, and not in a good way.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:does, it looks like, uh, there's a company or it's a website called Light in the Box, and I'm sure it's a Chinese company. Um, and you order from there and they have like, uh, this stuff you can't see, you can't touch and feel it. And it gets here and it feels so cheap. Um, and it just looks bad. Like it came straight outta the box from like some really bad factory in
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:It. It's the funny thing. It is. I, I don't know that I, I don't know. I was getting to say you can't.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:can't.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:You can't mess up traditional as badly as you can modern, but that's not a hundred percent true. But it feels like you can do traditional, it's, it's a little harder to mess it up in a way. But I swear this take on modern, this take on modern is there is tasteful, classic modern, and then there is
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:is, yeah,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:funky, tacky,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Modern can
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:And that,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:real
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:bad, real bad.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:fast.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:and I'm starting to see it in Lexington in a bad way.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah, I, I, I agree. I think, I'm not gonna say that you can screw it up easier than traditional.'cause we all know that there's some,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:I know I'm,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:out
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:I hesitated to say that I hesitated.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:the, but what I do think makes that statement a little bit more accurate is that there's so much more, modern pe what people classify as,'cause I think modern's really hard to classify'cause it can go a lot of different directions. Um, but I think there's a lot more. Options out there right now that people can use to do a style quote unquote modern home. And a lot of them are like, oh, do y'all remember Z Gallery? Like, I don't know if we, we never had one, but, but like, you know, it's just like everything polished now. I'm not hating on Z Gallery'cause I only have a lot of different looks, but like, it's just like the most. Silvers or, uh, silvers, Lord, uh, the most chrome of whatever you can find and everything is that. And it's all shiny. And it's all white and it's all, ugh, pleather furniture. I just,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Jeremy, let's do a flashback with you. Just a weeks
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:in Atlanta, and I ask you to hold up this four foot, um mm-hmm.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:had, um, little bedazzled all over it and diamonds, whatever it was,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Cover the
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:and yeah. Cover America. Well, I got the picture. We'll post it and him loving on it and I, I posted, it's like Jeremy, uh, and his inner tacky, uh, Uhhuh. There you go.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:the record, I did not like this thing. You just handed it to me and said, here, hold this and love on it. And I think the face
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Well, I was using you, I was using you as, um. If you will. So long story is literally when I saw that picture, went back and looked at it, you know what I thought of? And I said, it looks like something be Z Gallery. Yeah, it does make sense now.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:does. It does.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:like the neighbor's house on, uh, Christmas vacation.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Oh, Margo
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yes.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Margo and
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yes,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:and Todd,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:yes,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:horrible,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:that is so bad.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:yes.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:horrible.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah. Yeah.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:it can go real wrong.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Now I was not old enough. So, question. So at when that movie came out, which I don't remember what year it was, but I was young, so since you all are a little bit older than me, was that like the modern, was that really the modern craze at the time? Like, was that, like, did people see that and go, oh, that's, that's stylish.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:because you can also see it in the movie mannequin.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Oh God. Another classic that I love.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Eighties
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Reflect, just go back and reflect upon, um, Miami Vice. You know, if you just look at some of the imagery.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:yeah,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Miami Vice,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:on
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:bad. Modern,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:know,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I have a client who, um,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:I still say, uh, seventies. Were worse, by the way. I still believe that.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:No,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:hate I Well, I don't like anything. See, I I know you love it. You love it.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:No, I guess it wasn't modern. I just said it's tacky. Uh, I know Stewart.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Stuart
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:loves it. Some mid-century modern stuff, and I just, honestly, I'm sorry folks. I just find that to be the one.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Uh,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Thing that's just relatively unappealing to me. I can, I can get some architectural elements to it. I just find it unappealing.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:when I'm in my elder years and we sell Tara, I'm building a mid-century modern one story flat
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:I know. And you'll, you'll be living with, uh, Jennifer Aniston. I think she leans toward that vibe a little bit. So, uh, there you go.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:It's all wheelchair accessible.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Lord, I'm wanting that now. Uh,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:so give us another one that you've seen. Yeah, sorry.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I gotta go back to the art deco in Miami. I, so I
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah. Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:client who I love and
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Don't like that either.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I, I, um. When I went to her house the first time and I was trying to like, look, look at her things and try to like get an an idea of like where her taste was. And we have been, she's been a, a client of mine for probably 12, 13, 14 years at this point. And, um. She would have, like I looked at her, I said, your taste is the equivalent of a gay man in Miami Art Deco in 1980. Like that is what your taste is. And luckily she looked at me and she goes, oh, is it that bad? I went, yeah,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Yeah,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:No, no one needs a, a mauve leather sofa with matching, pink
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Oh God,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Hmm.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:no, no.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:can, we can bring you
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:But I assure you, some designer will bring it back and in one day you'll see it in a showcase house somewhere, I assure you,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Um,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:with glazed cabinetry again.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:yeah, maybe, uh, a good thing to say. And, you know, we talk about color of light all the time on here. Um, and so you'll see a lot of, uh, especially if they have these modern fixtures that are in there though, you'll see like the different colors. But a lot of times, and I'm, and I'm don't wanna sound like I'm, I'm beating up on builders, but listen, builders have a skill set that designers. have for the most part. Right. And I'm just, and I'm talking in generalized terms. I'm not talking to everyone. And then vice versa. Designers have a skillset set that builders don't always have. Right? So the builders, most of the time when they get one of these tour homes, they get excited. Their head gets so big, their ego gets so big that they just wanna pick everything and do it all the way they want to do it. Right. Well, this is when the screw ups happen because they will put lights a different color in the house. I have literally been in houses where I walked. They had the same recess lights. One color in the hallway, one color in rooms, and one color in in a bathroom. And I was like, this, these are the same lights.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:pay attention.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:attention.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm. So I say, turn every damn light on in the house.'cause I want you, that's when you'll
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:Stewart Stewart, remind us what's the, what's the range of number? Uh, like 2007, whatever that I.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:2,700 is optimal. I
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:There you go. Okay.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:acceptable. Anything else? Thrown the trash?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah. I mean,
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:There you go.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Incandescent, like the old traditional, I think it was more like around 2,400. You can't get that far with LED. You can get to about 2,700, which is, that's, that's preferable for me. Yeah.
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:And that's warm light, basically kids, it doesn't look like a, a neon, um, strip. Um, that's warm light.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:if you get to 500, or I'm sorry, 5,000, it's like you're, it's like operating room, you know?
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:And they
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:So bad.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:I
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Oh God. Who wants us,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah. Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Lord?
dwayne_1_07-24-2025_110816:That would burn my, my bald head.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm. Everybody just looked like a smurf.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Oh my God.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah, it's horrible.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Well, um, one of the, and this, oh God, this was, this is one of those moments of where like sometimes you go on these tours and nobody lives in the home. Um, and sometimes it's clear that people are actually living in the home and I can't imagine living in the home and then putting the home on the tour. Um,'cause you, you kind of have to move out. When that happens, right? So we were at one, and I won't say what city this was in because I don't wanna embarrass anybody to death. but we were in this house and we were turning the corner and I saw this woman come out of, uh, one of the restrooms and it was just a powder room. And so I knew it wasn't very big, and when her face came outta the bathroom, it was like horrified. And I was like, oh, is it that ugly? walk in.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:did she sha
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:She had not sat in the toilet. No, she had, she had not done that. But on the back of the toilet were feminine products. Some had been opened lip gloss. And a pair of panties
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Oh my God.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:and like it was in the early morning and I'm like, oh my God. The home, like this is clearly the home. Like nobody has been in this room to do it. Like it wasn't this woman that walked out.'cause she, she, she was an older lady, right? She wouldn't have been wearing these panties. You know, another thing that we see a lot of times when you go on these tours, like, and I see it more of this, like if you go into like a bigger city, or like when I've been to sometimes in Louisville, sometimes they will use. The craziest colors, like whatever designers there, they've decided to do, like, they're gonna boss the wall, y'all, they're doing everything. They're doing neon orange, they're doing purple. They're doing like really dramatic. And I'm like, this is not this. I mean, if this is the homeowner, I love it, but if it's
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Have you ever heard of a color called Aine?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:yes, I am.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay. Have I told you the story of Aine?
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yes.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay. Well, those, the listening audience will make it very quickly. Uh, showcase House. Many years ago, decorate and I was the, uh,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:minion
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:and
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:the
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:the designer wanted to do
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:regime,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:ine.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:So
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:the front door was ine, the bookcase was ine. The d Drapers
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:ine.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:ine the
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:curtains
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:are ine and let's just say by the end of it, and ine is a
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:kind
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:of
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:perfectly
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:burgundy color is the only way the color of a grape. Right. I hate ine and it all goes back to one of these showcase houses
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Machine
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:ine. so when these decorators paint things
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:neon
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:orange, you know, that takes me back to ine.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah. Um,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I the only reason why I mention that is because like, I want people to be inspired and I want people to be able to take things from, you know, whatever they see. Like, and I don't wanna like har harbor that in any capacity, but I also don't want think people to think, oh, this is what people are doing now because no people are not doing that. Somebody's wanting to catch your attention. Like, that's, that's what that is. Right? That's.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:a lot of people go to these things because they're like, oh, this is, this is what's happening. This is what we're looking for. This is what we're doing. It's like mm-hmm.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:You know, I've said this, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Right?
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:is Right?
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Um,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:when we go to Atlanta, one of the things is sometimes we'll end up having to sit in the floor, in the hallway eating the Devil's Chicken,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:look it
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:it up. If you don't know what I mean. I'm not saying the name today. They get nothing from us. And, um. What you do is then, now you're at eye level with people's shoes and cool locks and all this stuff, and there are designers in Atlanta, right, and shop owners. Well, Jeremy. dresses conservatively. Stewart dresses conservatively. I got my gray t-shirt on. I'm not there to impress anybody. I just need to get my work done. These people show up in Shaws and bedazzled boots with their teal colored and every piece of junk. And so I called them now my little pony, right? look at me, look at me, look at me. Look at me. And when I see my little pony walking past, I look at it and go,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:would
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:you really wanna hire that to decorate your house? Because if they don't know how to dress themselves appropriately, and they look like a clown. I don't want you to, and I'm sure these clowns are the ones that are Do uhhuh, they doing that neon orange and because it's special. Right? It's special.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:special.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:it
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:No
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:No one else will have it.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:For a reason.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Hmm.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:There
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I, for me, I think that's, that rep said like the horse. Oh no. You know what other thing, okay, so this is, I was just recently on a tour, um, and I noticed everybody was doing wide plank floors, which I'm not, I'm not against wide plank floors. I prefer the smaller ones, but whatever. But what everybody had in every home was grayed roused. Uh, trendy looking floors, and I just, every time I look at it, and we've said this on here before,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:oh, this is gonna look so dated in five years. So dated, dated. So I guess when I, like I said, I don't wanna harbor anybody's inspiration, but I want you, when you go into that, I just don't want people Yeah, yeah. I just want people
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Well, you know what just reminded me is I'm doing a, um, a remodel and, uh, it's a house in subdivision here in town and over hills. So the house is what,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:20
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:years old? 25 years old.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:actually
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:just start, I
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:just started
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:in
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:as
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:well.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:it's
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:26 years old. Yeah,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay. Going towards going toward 30. Okay. Okay.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:so this house, um, it's, it's, you know, we're, we've actually spent more effort on getting the outside done and new windows and those kind of things. But now it's turned attention to the, the bathrooms. But the first floor has. Uh, hardwood floors on the majority of it, and it's
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:stained
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:like that pretty horrific yellow oaky color that she hates, but, we'll, you know, we're not doing the bottom floor right now. We'll get there. But what she said to me is, I wanna put hardwood floors
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:on the
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:the second floor
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:in
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:the, in the hallway,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:and
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:then the kids' bedrooms will be carpeted and the master i'll, I'll do hardwood floors. And she said, what kind of hardwood floors should I do? Kind of.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:what you
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:you just said, water planks and stuff like that.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:And
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:And then we'll rip out the bottom floor downstairs To it. And I said, well, why would you wanna rip them out? And she said,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:said,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:well, because, um, I don't like that color. And I said, well, no, no, you can sand the floors and
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:and
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:them. They're oak and, and they're not red oak, they're just oak, right? So,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:So
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:uh, I even have that as an advantage. I, we can stain them like a
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:them. I,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:nice walnut color or brown color. She said, well.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:well.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:But they're just, again, you'll tell me that two inch boards, three inch boards, whatever that typical size was during that timeframe, so, so they're smaller size. She says, is, isn't that kind of old fashioned and dated looking? I said, no, no, I think that's classic and timeless. And I said,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:if
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:you stand at the right color. I would never rip those out, and I just repeat the, the, that same size upstairs. I think that's kind of classic.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Now
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:if you want, you know, wider plank, actually go for it.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:But
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:honestly, I think it would feel peculiar to do the wider plank in that age of house.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:because
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:then it feels like, it feels like it has been remodeled
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:As
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:opposed to that size. Feels
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:age
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:appropriate, size appropriate. Plus we just saved a lot of money by not ripping them out. So
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Just
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:because
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:people
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:are doing it doesn't mean you have to. And sometimes
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:what
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:you already have is good. You just gotta reimagine it a little bit.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:right,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Right? Mm-hmm. It's the same thing. I mean, know, handover,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:for people who aren't here,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:it's very traditional. Mm-hmm.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Oh yeah.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Two
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:story,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:you know.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:know, lady window above front door.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:There's
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:There's,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:ranches, there's some not ranches, you
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:you know.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:in this house that I'm getting ready to start, you know, that's what it is. It's the two story brick a cul-de-sac garage on the side. But she is very modern, which kind of goes back to our other. So
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:she's like,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:So this is gonna be.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:traditional in the front and party in the back, because.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:call that a mullet, and Billy Billy Ray is gone.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Right, and she's literally gutting the entire first floor of the house and taking all of those traditional elements out. I said, oh, so what kind of trim and new doors are we gonna put down here? She goes, oh, I wasn't gonna do that. I said, yeah, you are. I
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I said, if you're
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:streamlining
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:this kitchen and streamlining bathroom
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:and waterfall. islands and stuff,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Mm-hmm.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:we can't have fluted, trim and six panel doors.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Right, right.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:just is not gonna happen. So, so yeah, it's gonna be a big Mary of, of
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Is she gonna do it? Is she listening?
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Yeah. Yeah.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay, good.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:because it's a new contractor and he actually called me yesterday and he's like, listen, she wants what she wants, we're gonna give her what she wants. I said, that's fine. I said, but she's
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Gonna,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:new doors and trim, even though she doesn't know she needs it. So,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:well, I think I'd like to wrap up today's podcast by telling you a story about a tour that we did probably. Eight years ago, and this was in Louisville and you know it, these, I think, were these all on the same street? I wanna think this was is not ville. Well, they, no. Well, I I think that was where this one was. Um, yeah, no, I know this is where it was.'cause we, it's just stuck in my brain ever since. So we were going through the house and they had a sound system in the house and they were playing music all through and it was all very religious. Okay, fine.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:play, You know, it's your home, you play what you want. Right? but we will just say there were some interesting design choices and it just felt like it was trying a little too hard. Right? Okay. So then you get, you get to the basement, and the weird thing about this house was like the bedrooms that were upstairs had been done, um, but they weren't like overly done. Well, then you get to the basement and there's three. Kids bedrooms downstairs, which I found really odd. Um, because, you know, it just doesn't seem right to have three kids in the basement and it had full walk out in the
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay. Stop. Stop you there. It's kind of a, a religious forefront, right? Because children are, to be, um,
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Uh,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:not, heard from,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Okay. well. well.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:that's what
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:not seen, not heard.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:what I thought. Yeah.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:We'll
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:can see you, but we
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:stick them in the basement. So they were, it was in the basement. The first, uh, the first room we went into was like a baby themed room. I say that because
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Nursery.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:it had a regular bed in it, but
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:of the decor and everything in there was very child oriented, like, like infant oriented. Okay. Didn't think much about it at the time. Okay. So we're like, oh, okay. So this is like baby, you know, Hey, they have a baby
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Bed in a full,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:and a full, well, I mean, I think it was a queen. I mean, it was a good sized bed. And I'm like, what? What the hell? Okay. So then we go to the second bedroom and it's wicked themed. Wicked, the musical themed. And we're like, okay. we're like, you know, half the room's green, half the room's pink. You know, whatever movie or a
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:so you think that was.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Room. Well, yeah. So we just kinda walked in. We're like, okay, this is a little more interesting. Well, then we go into the third bedroom and it is, it's, and it's baseball themed. I'm like, okay, well, they
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Okay.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:baseball. All right,
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Mm-hmm.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:So then there's the bathroom that's on the floor. And again, this is all in the basement. You walk into the bathroom, it has six urinals to the wall. Everything is tiled, floor, walls, ceiling, no barriers between the urinals. And then on the other side, and this is the odd, the God's honest truth, the other side of the room six shower heads people to take showers. No dividers all open. And I looked at my, looked at my friends looked at me'cause their eyes got really big. we all said at the same time, they're like, do you think they shoot porn in this house? We just decided this is where themed rooms, where they were taming porn.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:Lord, mercy.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:Now, I cannot confirm or deny that that's what that house was for, but that to this day, all still discuss the six urinals, the six showers, and the oddly designed rooms.
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:Well, here's what I understand. Why would, why were they playing religious music? I don't understand how those two,
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:you
dwayne_2_07-24-2025_113720:okay.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:you see It was just like. you know, sometimes like, was it a front, like I don't, it was the craziest, I mean, I'm telling you, it still sticks with me today because I'm like, I can see the white tile. It even had like little baseball mats at the base of the, the, I was like at the urinals. I just remember the shower heads and it was clear like, you know, the towel hooks were on the wall. Right, like this is not like where people go in to individually shower this. like, over God. They put this on the tour. They invited people in.
stuart_1_07-24-2025_110811:wow. Well, they were looking for new cast members.
jeremy-host665_1_07-24-2025_110811:I guess, I don't know. So if, if any of our listeners out there have any more information about this house, I do wanna know, so well, listeners, thank you as always for listening to this week's episode.
