 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.

In today's podcast, we are discussing. Uh, I guess we're gonna call it a trend. I'm not really, I'm, I'm really, what I've seen people classify as is a movement, um, and find it really interesting. But I'll give a little bit of information and then we can kind of break it down and talk about opinions and all that kind of stuff. But where I started noticing it was a couple of Instagrammers accounts that I follow. Um, and one of them's actually a real business, one of, they're both real businesses, um, but they call it different things. And I started noticing that in their, in their looks that they were, um, mixing a lot of really heavy colors. Um, a lot of like antique traditional like things. And they've now coined this movement, if you will. One of them is calling it polished heritage. And the other one is calling it New Heritage. So I guess heritage is the important part over here, but it, it, it kind of is the, the complete opposite pendulum swing of like the all white interiors, which I can still live in Aldo. Um, but. It is much more moody, much more dramatic, and a lot more cozy. Now, I am the one that sent this to you all said, Hey, this is what we should talk about in the next podcast. Had you all noticed this before as far as like a movement or a trend? And what is your take on it?

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Well, I

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I noticed the, the layered portion of what they do and kind of the incorporation of some of that cool silver. I didn't know it had a name. I just thought, oh, we found this in mama's cabinet. I'm gonna clean it'cause it looks good on a table. So, but I didn't know it had a name. and, and I think for people listening who haven't heard of it, I, I think it's kind of like Ralph Lauren home

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

think people get that,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

It has a very

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

hasn't.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

to it.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Right. Right. And when they say shiny silver, they mean shiny.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Well, I mean like polished nickel, polished silver, like you're actually like, yeah,

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

can pick up a candlestick and put on lipstick.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

pewter. I saw a lot of pewter too, so you know, that wasn't necessarily shiny, but yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah. Which I truthfully hate, but, so there you go.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

What you hate polished shiny silver or pewter polish nickel.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

no, no. I, I don't like Peter. I don't like Peter.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh, I love pewter. I love pewter.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

pewter either'cause I don't think I can ever get it clean.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

well

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

always has that little black patina on it.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah. No.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

at that, by the way? Yes.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Hmm

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I love Peter.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Hmm.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

hmm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Okay. It is just dull to me. So it's one of those things that it, I, uh, after you forwarded this article on, I read it, the really, the only thing for me I walked away with is, uh, it just gave me an affirmation of, I'm glad I didn't change out my. Chrome, uh, faucets in the bathrooms, for example, that were putting in the house nearly 20 years ago.'cause everything's doing gold and gold and gold. when I did the house, you know, that wasn't even a choice. And I've just always loved these chrome fixtures. And some people, maybe Jeremy, um, just has given the impression that he thinks looks cheap

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah. I hate Chrome.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

to if it's, if it's done. And the right aesthetic, uh, and, you know, the right, um, handles and things like that. For me, it's absolutely just timeless and, uh, I love it in a, in a good bathroom. So

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I mean,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

an affirmation of it's back again.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I mean, I don't care for Chrome as a go-to, but like you just said, if it's a specific handle or a specific spout, I think Chrome looks good, I think the majority of people think, oh, Chrome is what I can buy for 79.99 at Lowe's. there are more Chrome options than that.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Well, 200,000 times out of 10 I will go for polished nickel'cause it's just warmer for me. It just feels, it feels more

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

polished

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

that that's where I go.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

bathroom.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm. But, and I, for me, that when I was reading this and looking into it, this is where it kind of, what I saw was more polished nickel than Chrome, but

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

wants to keep. Chrome has a little cooler, uh, undertone to it.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

it's blue. Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

at it, you, you almost think that they are the same. Right. But when you put'em together,

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

a blue undertone to it, and Polish nickel has a yellow undertone to it. And it, Polish nickel for me almost looks like silver. That's slightly, you know, starting to get dirty just a little bit. It has that little. Patina to it. The, the only hiccup is I do love me some, uh, polished, uh, nickel, but it's a lot more maintenance as far as its spots and it shows stuff. And I just, I had a client that did a bathroom a few years ago and we used polished nickel. And let me tell you, she, uh, just, uh. Was unpleasant about her having to have to wipe down her faucets every time. and I'm like, and the thing is, was probably six or seven or eight or years ago. I didn't know, maybe I should have known, but the person that sold me the stuff didn't tell me and said, oh, by the way, just be aware there's more work to this. And I would've had that conversation, right, and say, and she still may have done it, but because I didn't give her the full story,'cause I didn't know it. Then she complained to me all the time about it and I was like, so from now on I say, if you do this, by the way, you're gonna have to wipe it down. It's just like with shower doors, it's like they're beautiful and you can put the film on'em, but if you do shower doors, you know you're gonna have squeegee it, you're gonna keep it clean. It's looks good, but there's more effort involved.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

By the way, I have never had any issue. I've never had any issue with Polish nickel water spotting.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Well, I just say if you're brushing your teeth, spin it in the sink, not on the faucet.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I was like, I dunno what these people are doing. I, I, I,

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh, look at Dwayne's.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

it was, I don't know. Maybe she had a specific kind of finish. I don't know. Maybe it wasn't lacquered or who knows? I don't, I don't know. I don't know, but I've never had any hiccups. So

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

it was just

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

maybe she's just messy.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

was just, I. she was just a bitch. Let's just leave it at that because I ain't gonna say the name, but yes,

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

that's

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

God.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Larry, that

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

of it, is you couldn't make that woman happy.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Well, we all know those.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

say that about

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Um, okay, so this I know. Oh yeah, no, I said Oh yeah,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

listen, all the listeners know one, two, so don't worry about about it. Well, the movement was kind of ushered in by this grand millennial movement, which I took some notes from it'cause I just thought it was really interesting how these people, um, kind of defined it. And so they said it was, uh, other words for the, uh, or other descriptors or others names for this kind of look is dark academia, new traditional. Traditional revival or cottage core, which I don't, under cottage cottage, cottage core doesn't make any sense to me.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

No. That no

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I mean, if I lived in a little English cottage with all the little, you know, prints and all that, I, I'd love it. But, um, but this, or learn.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

it the best. He gave the visual right. He did it the best. It it is kind of this layered Ralph Lauren,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Deep Ralph Lauren vibe to it

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

always eclectic and evolved and layered and moody.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

I mean, Ralph Lauren has some light color too, but generally it's heavier.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

So it said that this was a, uh, I think I've already mentioned the, the backlash to an, to the all white. And it was, um, really gaining traction in the 20 to 40 year olds, um, leaning towards coziness and nostalgia heritage and embracing grandma's house, but elevated with the modern sensibility. This is, first of all, this is why I can't be a writer.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

not one

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

is,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

house ever looked like

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

no,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

exactly right. That's what I thought too.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

so this is almost like the, the layer before maximalist,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah. There was lots of stuff, lots of collected. Mm-hmm.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Lots of collected stuff. But this is like you put the layer down, but then didn't put all the collection. You just put like one or two

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

to make it pulled

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

And I will put some images down in the, the show notes so people, if, if, if they're not for sure what we're talking about or they wanna have some more clear visual representations,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

you

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I'll show you.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

for the 20 to 40 year olds. I don't know any 20, 40 year olds that actually can afford a house anymore, so I don't.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

see, that was also what I was thinking, but this is the other part of, of, of what they were saying was that it wasn't necessarily about going and buying new things. It was going and sourcing and finding things at, oh God, I'm gonna say this word. Uh, peddlers, malls or antiques. Not really in the antiques because they can't afford antique shops. Right. But, um, going and finding those things that felt like it was in their, their grandparents' house. So everybody out there don't get excited that you think your grandchildren are gonna want your cherry furniture.'cause they're still not gonna want that shit.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

right.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

My granny Ali, my dad's mother, she was so upset because nobody, but my dad wanted that this cherry bedroom suit. And I don't, I don't know where it went. I don't have a clue where it's gone, but I, I can tell you this, we don't have it. I don't know, I don't know if we put it in the casket with dad. He may have taken it with him. I'm not sure.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

more Cabrio legs.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Lane. But, so that was kind of like, I think also the gist of this is something that's attainable, right? That they can also, and if you think about it, if you think of, um, the other parts that they were saying was, um, black and white photography, which I've always loved black and white photography, and I think I tend to like more photography than you all do. Um, but I love beautiful photography.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

no. Not fair. Nope.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

like photographer. I like photography and naked people.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Wayne. Uh, he does. He really, that's the truth. Right? Um, okay, so let's explain though why you like this is important. I don't want this one to glossed over. This was very important'cause I have argued and. Try to coach people about black and white photography and half the time of them. I get this look of like you're a fool, and I want people to understand through all of our perspectives, why do you like black and white photography?

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

For me, it takes whatever it is and it really makes it a piece of art. It's, it's about the architectural black and white in the picture. photograph of a barn.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

you is more elegant.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

has, um, it evokes a emotion, a feeling that has a, um, a vintage undertone to it or a sense of history to it. Black and

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

of history to it for some reason. Right. For

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

sure. Yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah, I.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

I, I

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I would say yes.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

you know, I'm looking at a family picture from Olin Mills from 1973 and everybody is orange and their clothes are orange. There's turtleneck is orange, their hair is orange, whatever it is. But if that picture were in black and white. You wouldn't be fixed on how dated the clothing was. Right? Because it been, because then the clothing becomes a texture, not a color.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

I always go back to a picture if you have people in it. That's what I'm focusing on. People. I always wanna look at your face, your eyes, your soul. And if I. Only fixated on how ugly that wide rimmed collared shirt is. Then the picture in color didn't do service to the person. It only highlighted the clothing. Right? And architecture's different. So for me, think black and white allows you to see the people not. The color of their clothing or surroundings, and that changes for me a lot once it's all said and done. So

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I think,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Emily family photo from 1973 and scan it and turn it into Ceia color, black and white, and then it's much more palatable to me in any format.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

well, I think that echoes what Jeremy said too, because it's he said, a barn or an architectural element. It's the true element and it's not a color. It shows exactly what those lines are, what that shadow is, and that's what makes it beautiful.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah. Okay. So we all are basically on the same page. And so here as people, this is not trendy and it's not trending. This is classic elements, so if you do pictures, do them in black and white. You'll, you'll, you'll love it years to come, I think. Anyway,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

And you know, that was the funny thing about what they're like these, this new trend or this new movement is that these, all of these elements are classic and I think all of these, aside from maybe. Some of the colors are things that we have used time and time again. Time and time again. Like these are in the toolbox that we pull out, right? So none of these, for me, I thought I felt well that

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

okay.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

classy. Classic. I mean, ag, ag, again, I want, you want something updated and it feels timeless. Timeless and classic. I think that's always like the words I know that, that we can go to, um, that we say a lot. But, um. Oh, another part, uh, another version of art that people are using are, um, what they're calling, what do they call it? Old world Traditional art. Now, these aren't the poppy paintings or tuscany, not these, these are not the Cyprus, like the Cyprus tree painting. Like it's not that. These are like old world dark moody landscapes. Um, like the little ones that we got from, um,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

the little ones. Those little ones that we had. And people have seen a lot of reproductions in, in Target. Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

But I don't want a picture of a Rembrandt,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

No, no, no, no, no.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

house, right?'cause I know I, but it's this old English landscape,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

classic,

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Right.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah. That, that's the different. So when you hear that it's a old world, don't go out there and look like you got a moaning, Lisa, hanging over your couch, right? Because that's wrong, that's bad and done. Only Trump has. Fake art that he portrays it to be real. Right. We know what you, we know you people live

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Uh,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

park. Do not have real Rembrandt, okay? Just don't do it.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I mean, might be hidden under that velvet dog pain.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Well, you never know.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

So not necessarily that, um, and not like you said Rembrandt or like water Lilys or like, you know, not that, but these beautiful old English, uh, countrysides. Yeah. These beautiful, beautiful ones. Those, um, and a lot of times.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

kind of in. Oh, you want to, you want to evoke Edinburgh, you know, you know if you

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh shit.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Jeremy went on a European vacation a number of weeks ago and he just keeps talking about Copenhagen and Edinburgh. Anyway, so if you paint those beautiful pictures in the memory of that, just'cause I think we live in the English countryside, truthfully. Lexington, those who are outside the bubble Lexington. Lexington feels like an English countryside to me with its meandering hills and horses and stone fences, and beautiful farms. It has that kind of quaint countryside,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

you basically, we can just go out and take a picture of where we live, uh, and turning into black and white picture and like, Hey, we got you. Hey.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I think I've mentioned this before, but whenever we do travel and then somebody's talking about how beautiful it is, I'm like, oh, it, it does, it looks like home. And they look at me, look at me like I'm crazy, and they're like, this looks like home. I was like, yeah,

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Rolling. Green Hills was the, the stone fence. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's not downtown, but.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

we look, uh, to get it across those who don't live in this Lexington, uh, area, uh, and surrounding counties. You just don't get how beautiful this place is. And I live 30 minutes outside of work and I. Literally drive through a, what it feels like driving through a park, uh, the way the, the, the, the, the road system is made and it kind of meanders through the, all these farms. And I purposely this, this time of year we're, when we're recording, this is just right at the edge of early fall and it's been such beautiful weather, is roll those windows down and open that sunroof and enjoy what God gave you.'cause it's just beautiful out there right now.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Hmm.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah. Yeah,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Um, okay, so then colors.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

yeah.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Um,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yes.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Uh.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

even know this existed.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Advent, it's something adventure may Lick. Outdoor Adventure, animal Farm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

and stuff right

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

yes, had kangaroos had this parakeet cage that you get in with this stick with bird seed on it, and they flock all over your head. I, IMI was over that in a heartbeat, but

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

were you?

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I bet. I bet Allie was loving it though.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

or for yourself?

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Uh, no.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

No, we.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

it for baby girl. And then she was like, honey, she goes, daddy, those birds are gonna get stuck in my hair. said they probably will. So

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Fair train.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

throw the, let's just throw the stick in at'em and

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh my God. We have, okay, so speaking of what I think of birds and hair, um, we have some customers whose daughter is like the master quick thinker on her feet, and they had taken, uh, one of the granddaughters to Disney World and one of the bird there was a bird that flew over and shit in her hair.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Oh

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

of course, the girl. Starts to freak out. And the si the sister who, the older her, I guess her aunt, who is like just the quick thinker was like, oh my God, you're the magic princess of the day. Do you know how lucky you are that they chose you to make you the poop princess? Oh. So if it ever happens to you, just remember that makes you the poop princess or Prince of the day. Oh.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

has happened. I have had said sunroof open going 60 miles down the road and a bird has shot right through it and splattered all over the seat. It is an event, let me tell you.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Jeremy, have you

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Uh,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

that happen to you

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

no, I've never had it happen. However, my Granny Lene, which is my dad's mother, so evidently she must be around'cause it's the second time I've, I've, uh, pulled her up this morning. But, um, she used to wear wigs, she had very thin hair and I love her to death. But she always had that wig on. If we went over to her house. She, she wouldn't let the grandkids see her without her wig on. And, um, or at least my sister and I and, um, we would go walk at the high school football track. And that,'cause that was the only place to work out, if you will, at home. And it was free, right? So everybody would just go and walk the track. Um, and so she would go out and walk with us. Not that this woman needed to walk at all, because she was probably five, eight and 98 pounds. But, um, she would walk with us and I remember a bird in her wig and she was, she was fit to be tied. But if you think that that wig was coming off her head. See was not coming off. So common colors in this, which the first few are, are the first few aren't necessarily groundbreaking at all. Blue, but we're talking about dark blues. So Navys the dark slate. Blues green, and again, we're talking dark, moody greens, and then brown. Okay. Neutral city, right? Fine with me. Hey. Alright. And then pulls in. My other new favorite colors that I'm obsessed with is cinnamon, which I just love this kind of dark, rusty orange, brown color. But the one that I'm really like I can't get enough of right now is ox blood. Uh, if it is ox blood, I just won't live in it.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Define ox blood

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

So it is sim similar to Burgundy, but it's a dark red brown. And so it's, um, it, it's not burgundy, but it gives

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

and it gives, and it has a little bit of rust in it, but it's just Mm mm mm mm It's a, for me, it's a very classic color. Um. Um, you know, when we originally were talking about like what colors we were gonna see, like, you know, blue is blue navy, blue was, you know, really the big thing. And then we discussed that green was being mixed into it. And at the time

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Okay.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

the next color that was gonna be mixed in was, uh, some kind of form of orange, and I, maybe I was looking for it, but I feel like I've seen it kind of being incorporated into it. But I know that orange could be like a really hard color for people, and that's where I think that this ox oxblood is. That's kind of like taking that place into it and Mm

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

and more

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

mm Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

You, you said to me,'cause I love me, um, brown'cause it's neutral. I can say to you with full authority, I don't see brown as a neutral, even though a lot of people do, and it's very on trend as being a neutral. I just do not care for chocolate brown walls. Once it's said and done, just will never like it. Never, never, never like it. You can gimme charcoal all day long. That's different for me, but I am never gonna walk in and, look at, uh, dark chocolate brown walls and go, Ooh, that's pretty, um, that's that whole struggle for me. Even when you mentioned orange and brown in the same sentence, I just flashback to 1973 again and I just. I've always disliked those colors. You know that, combination, I just

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I don't know what happened to you in the seventies, but it had to be a very traumatic decade because you have consistently said the, the orange and the brown in the seventies was rough.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

It's awful.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

in the past? Well.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

no diversions of those colors. It was either that awful version of avocado green, which was also a really ugly

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

or those two colors, and then everybody in everything was that color. It seemed as if, at least in my, in my bubble, and you just, it just, there was, at least we're in a, in a world now. That if you want white and gray and modern, you can have it. If you want chocolate brown, you can have it. If you want pale blue, you can have it. Right. There's not

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Mm-hmm.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

many rules written into it that you get to have. There's trends and there's things that's trendy, and there's things that you like, but there we're talking about something right now, that's rich and beautiful, but in 1970, it seemed like everything looked the same to me, and that's, that's the trauma. And so you couldn't break free from. That horrific stuff. And also, you know, I lived in probably what, a 700 square foot trailer and everything was orange and brown. You couldn't run from it just

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Uh

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Sears. You remember the kids? You remember the canister set that had the mushrooms on it, the happy mushrooms?

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh yeah.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

oh

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I mean, I think they were, they predated me, but I think they were still around for

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah, well we've got the whole collection. Um,'cause I'm filtering through mom and dad's stuff. She's got it all saved and she just said save this for the kids.'cause I know they'll love it one day and I go, kid don't want it, that's for sure.'cause I just

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I bet Chloe will. I bet Chloe will, won't like it. She's a little hippy dippy.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

she would like that. Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

dippy. Hippie dippy wants it. You, you got it right. Hippie dippy wants it. She loves it. I just look at it and go thoughtful. Anyway,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Well, so.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Neutral

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

So,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

the same word is not there for me. I'll just tell you that.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I mean, I think it can be.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

you know, for.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

was some designer that did a, a, a a, a commercial project here, uh, about a year and a half ago and put orange in, uh, in uh, chocolate brown together. And I think that, uh, probably PR as a peacock and I looked at it and went, seriously,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

of money for ugly.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I think, um, no, I love it I, it feels worldly to me. It feels, um, you know, I just don't look at from the same perspective.'cause I didn't live through your flock.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

it. If, uh, if you're gonna buy a suit, are you gonna buy a Navy suit or a chocolate brown suit? Uhhuh, that ain't that hard to figure out Next. It's that easy, right? That tells you what's classic. That tells you what's classic

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I mean, I, I would buy a brown suit. I would, I would, I do have a Navy suit. I don't have a brown, I have a black and a, and a navy and a gray. But

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Mm-hmm. See, don't

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

no, but it also, I haven't seen it. You know, I also haven't seen that many. I don't know. I don't wear suits off.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

right now, Jeremy is down about 65 pounds. Uh, and he's looking hot. And so I told him the other day, I said, I always thought he was a pretty man. I said, but he's gonna walk in here one day in his brown polyester suit. And, uh, people are just gonna, I said

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Lord.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

protein shake.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Um, as long as I can get one of those, uh, those that really pointy lapel, like from Saturday Night Fever. Yeah,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

yes,

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I got it.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

work it.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

established, uh, brown is not a good neutral

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Oh,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

What

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

for Dwayne. I love it.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Forward to Wayne. Yes.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

okay, so what I'm gonna follow this up with is that if you like this, look, you don't have to go all in to this, you know, like there's some, like we've talked about like with the, uh, gray floors, like gray, brown floors, like thru wood, right? We've, we've said time and time again. Don't do something like that, that's gonna be really trendy. You're gonna get sick of it in five, 10 years. Right? Do something that's more classic for me. You don't have to. Change your entire home over to this if this is something that you like and you feel like it's drawn, drawn to you first. I think if you do the entire house in really deep, moody colors, I think you're gonna be really depressed. I think that it's just,

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Yeah.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

you've got a lot of windows, right? Uh, now if you wanna do like a room or space thinking again. But I think all of these elements as far as uh, textural fabrics and the beautiful. Uh, paintings and the pewter. And if you wanna pull the China out for the table and the uh, uh, mohair pillows and, you know, anything, think very rough. And along that you can pull any of those elements and easily enter, use them in your home. And I feel like you have to like, okay, everything's gotta be, Color drenched to get it across right. Um. And I think one of the interesting ways that another Instagram or designer that has been kind of like incorporating this into their style is, um, studio McGee. And so she calls it New Heritage. Now, what I love about this is. She is, you, you both know Studio McGee, I'm sure. McGee and Co. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So a, a beautiful aesthetic, um, for some, probably uncomfortable, usually has a little bit more modern coastal vibe to it. It always feels very natural and one with one with the, the earth. Like it always feels very earthy. Um, she loves her some modern lamp. She loves modern everything.

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

sub ratan and caning.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yep. She loves. Yep, she loves that. And, and I'm not, and I'm not knocking her'cause I, I do, I really appreciate her style and aesthetic. Um, but she utilizes a lot of these elements and incorporate them into a much more modern space than traditional space. And the only reason I wanted to bring that up was because I thought that's a really good place for people to see. Using those old world looking pieces of art using beautiful old pieces of pottery or, um, ginger jars or things like that that you've seen that you can incorporate into your house, even if that whole thing is not your feel. Layering those beautiful mohair pillows and the throws and things like that on there. And, um, I, what I wanted was, I just didn't want people to think like, well, now I gotta go paint my room oxblood and change everything in here. That's, that's, that's not it. But this is how I'm, I was looking at seeing, well, this is how I see people incorporating.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

But you can.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

if you want to, but this was how people can easily incorporate these classic traditional elements into their homes where wherever they are, I guess. Does that make sense?

stuart-host424_1_09-09-2025_090622:

Yeah.

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

Oh yeah. Absolutely. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

I'm always, uh, actually, while I was reading one of the, the blogs about this, she said something along the lines of, this is where I'm at. This is what I love. Please don't think that I'm telling you that everything else is out. That you have to change everything in your house. Like what? What you love and what you have around you is what you should have. Right. And that's always, I think when we approach this, like I don't want anybody to feel like what they have is trash. Like that's never the, we always want people to love their space and be able to update it in a way that feels like them. That's always what we want, is their home to speak like them

dwayne-guest364_1_09-09-2025_090621:

your advice. You, do you?

jeremy-guest208_1_09-09-2025_090622:

you to you bitches. I like that. Well, I think that's a great way to end the this week's podcast. You do, you bitches. Well, if you have not downloaded our mobile shopping House, house Floral, please do. You can find it in the App Store. It's also linked in the show notes below. And we will see you all again soon. We'll see you next week. See y'all. Bye bye.
