  Speaker 1: the Fairgrounds?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: So this is Leslie. We are super excited. We are
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: coming into town tomorrow on Thursday, but on Friday and Saturday.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We are actually speaking on Friday at three pm and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: on Saturday at one So that's the eleventh and twelfth
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of April, and we're going to be on the Fresh
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Idea stage at the Home and Garden Show and we're
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: going to be sharing a little bit about just our
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: experience on the show, our business being twins, just really anything.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're just there to have fun and meet people.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Well, and it's such a good show. A lot of
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: people come out. They'll have so many questions for you, like,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: for instance, twins, do you get mixed up ever? Or
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: do people I know you have differences, like your hairs different, so,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: but do you ever people ask and get you mixed
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: up when they're trying to address you, whether it's at
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: work or in person.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: This is Lindsay. I would say, you know, it's more
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: our voices. People get our voices still confused. Our mom
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: still does sometimes on the phone, but in person we
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: do definitely look like people generally say we look a
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: lot more alike in person than on the show, so
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: people are surprised when they meet us in person.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And how did this even happen in the first place?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Because you were just doing your business, doing your life,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: like thriving great personalities, and then you meet executives from HGTV.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: How did that all come about?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: This is Lindsay again. It actually started we were hosting
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: silly YouTube videos on YouTube and a production company just
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: found us randomly and called us one day. That's really
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: the short of it, and then it all kind of
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: snowballed from there.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: How long did it take from that call to actually
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: making the show happened?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Oh? Man, Lynz, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: pretty sure it took like almost a year.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Okay, all exciting because you're like, wow, we're
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: just doing living our best life, you know, thriving in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: our gifts, and then it turned into a show exactly.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: We would just be in our silly, dorky selves and
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: somebody thought it was entertaining and we just felt like, well, great,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: we get to be ourselves and you know, get a
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: TV show for it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: When it comes to trends, of course, people are always
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: trying to keep up with the trends. What do you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: have to say about decorating your home with the latest
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: trend or doing something that resonates with you or your style?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Like what would you choose?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: This is and yeah, go ahead, sorry less, no, this
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: is lindsay again, I would say, you know, as far
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: as the styles right now and the trends right now,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: we're definitely moving towards personality and your personal style, your
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: personal trends no longer trying to accomplish the you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: all white source simple. Look, it's definitely about what makes
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you happy.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Now when you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Say that though, because so, for instance, my husband is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: very neutral everything, then there's me and I could have
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a graffiti all in my house if he would, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: be fine with that. So how do you morph together
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: two different personalities to create this perfect space for somebody?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's probably the hardest process of it all, figuring
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: out which one to go with. I would say, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's about compromise, making sure everybody gets a little bit
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of their own style and personality in there. You know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: The big thing is, though, when you go to sell,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it's not so much about personality anymore so much about
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: what you like. It's about what's going.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: To appeal to the masses.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So as much as we love the personality, as much
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: as we love all of that also needs to be about,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you know, what is going to sell, and when it
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: comes time to sell, we have to appeal to as
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: many people as possible.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So what is the most sellable? Is it those neutral
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: colors or certain you know styles in the home that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: really people seem seem to gravitate towards or help it
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sell quicker.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: It's always going to be a more neutral, clean look
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: so that people can see their own style in there.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: So I'm not getting my graffiti wall.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: You're not getting your.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Griffy wall if you want to sell, But if you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: want to live there for a long time, you graffiti
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: all you want.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: What is y'all's personal favorite like for each of you,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is there a style that you personally love.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: That's a really good question. This is lindsay. I definitely
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: tend to be more eclectic, more earthy. So my house
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: is filled with, you know, lots of things I like.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I do have a lot of you know, personal treasures,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: knick knacks, and a lot of plants. Okay, so I'm very,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: very eclectic.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I have equally as many plans, but I'm definitely more simple.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I have about oh maybe six unneeded items in my house,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and other than that, everything has a purpose.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. See my husband would be very
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on board with that. Yes, is there something that homeowners
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: should never do as a DIY.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Diy things that are outside of your skill set. But
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you're not a plumber, you're not an electrician, if you're
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a school teacher, then first off, God bless you because
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you're a better human than us. And second of off,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: don't try to rewire your home.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Let the experts do it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: But the things that are, you know, more creative.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: And things that are not going to devalue your home
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: and can easily be fixed or improved upon, like paint
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: and wallpaper and hardware, Go for have fun landscaping, but
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: don't do the things that you could really mess up.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Right, So all the spouses out there that think they
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: could do it themselves, just go ahead and pay one
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars fee to get somebody to come out.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And do it is.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Is there a no no?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And this is more for not so much selling, but
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: for those that are you know, recently purchased and they're
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: living in their homes and they're looking for furniture when
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it comes to matchy matchy sets, are you like, that's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: not cool and go with the individual pieces?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: This is lindsay. I think it's it's fun to have,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: you know, a mismatch set when it comes to your
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: living room. So if you've got you know, a leather couch,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: then pull in some different fabric for your side chairs.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You know, you don't need your coffee table and in
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: tables to match anymore. You know, you can play around
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: with those pieces and more textures, just create more of
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: a you know, more depth, more interest, more you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: just fun in that space.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It also allows you to to to be able to
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: live and move in that space for a longer amount
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: of time, meaning that if you want to change it out,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: you've got more that you can work with. You're not
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: so boxed in when you try to keep everything so
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: matchy matchy. So down the road, you could maybe remove
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: one of those pieces and bring something else in and
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: it can feel totally different.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, I love that. I love that advice. What project
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: are y'all now currently working on?
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Oh gosh, how many projects?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Could?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: J then yeah, go ahead.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: What about you personally in your house? You're like a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: paint master, right oh man?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Right now I'm repainting everything because I have three teenage
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: boys and it has to be done.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: About every three years.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, though it doesn't even stay good for three years.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I am color blocking everything. I love dark,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: moody colors and I just painted my entire bedroom, ceiling, walls,
• 8:20
