Today we’re doing a little podcast on metal finishes mainly from a listener question that we had come in, but we’ve also had a few of these hot topics in our own minds that we felt like we should solve, so we’re putting them all together and calling it ‘Metal Finishes.’ One of our listeners wanted to know our favorite finishes for cabinet knobs and poles, saying ‘polished nickel for plumbing? Thanks for any advice.’ We’ve been saying that silver is king from here on out, which we’re seeing in fashion and homes are following suit. Metal finishes 11:05Cabinet knobs and poles for polished nickel plumbing 13:40Different ways to finish metals 15:25Plated metal 20:30Different types of finishes 22:10Brass 24:30Nickel 29:40Bronze 33:50“ I think that’s really good to know yourself in finishes, which is why we’re doing this podcast so that if you’re a perfectionist, you are not gonna want anything unlacquered. You’re gonna wanna know that that is stayed and true, and you are gonna really love lacquered brass, or you’re gonna love electro plated if it’s done very, very well, or even gold leafed.” 19:58https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

Sue met Amanda who was initially the organizer for a client that we’ve done several homes for and these have been the most organized spaces we’ve ever been in. She has a system and an art to it, and with her organization, it’s a business she’s done for 20 years and now she does estate liquidation, which ironically has a lot of commonalities. Summer break is about to begin and we’re going to be at that time of year when we turn into half the woman that we were as we lose our brains a little bit, so this can be a great opportunity to start to clean out and kind of inventory where we’re at and what we wanna add.

You don’t need more hangers.’ Hangers in setting yourself up is like 120, or 180, or some people it might be 650, but once you run out, it’s like ‘OK I need to purge because my closet kind of hits a max at a certain point. And it’s not even a max of space, it’s just a max of your visual eye and function to find what you’re looking for.” 7:[email protected]://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

In this episode Sue and Jess had no idea what the episode would be about, only that Cori would ask them some questions and they’d have to answer on the spot. He asks them some fun what-would-you-rather type questions such as what color they would choose out of two options, or what type of living space they would prefer in their living room. Navy blue or forest green, ochre or mauve 6:15Living space 7:40Your entire home being wood tile or stucco 11:00Instagram or pinterest? 13:05Books or magazines? 14:45Music room or library? 15:30Too small of rugs or 10 different exterior finishes? 16:25Big “Eat” sign or a big “Live, laugh, love” 18:45Stripes, florals, or plaid 19:50Lighting 23:20Worst fashion decision you’ve made 25:00The mountains or the beach? 29:30Rings or necklaces, nails and hair 33:00Drapery 38:40A trend you hope comes back 39:30“Gloves. When were gloves out? Let’s bring it back!” “All the accouterments like the gloves, the hats, all the extras, the scarves.” “The collapsible gold cup that you’d take out of your purse and swallow a pill.” 41:32https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5
