  Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, thanks for tuning in. This is Home in
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Progress by Recolite Paints, sponsored by Benjamin Moore, and let's
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: just jump right in because I've got a ton of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: stuff I'm going to try to cover on the show
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: this week. Coming up. I'm going to be talking about
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: bathroom paint colors that can actually affect how you look
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in the mirror, all right, so there's hope for some
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of us. Maybe it's our paint color causing us some
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: issues in there. We'll talk about that. I've also got
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a quick conversation I'm going to have with Jeff Mott,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the manager of our Lakewood location, about the upcoming car
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: show at his store. It's coming up in a few weeks.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that, and then later at the end
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of the show, I've got a story from when my
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: kids were little that leads perfectly into a really simple
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: but important paint tip. So that's a lot of fun
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that's coming up right now. Though, let's talk about another
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: event from when my kids were little. It's one of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: those that we talk about as a family from time
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to time because it was really quite an event. Okay,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the short story is that my daughter, when she was
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: very little put something in the microwave for two minutes. Right,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: She's just heating something up for two minutes. The only
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: problem was that she punched in an extra zero and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: then walked away, right, So twenty minutes is what that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: little little goody was cooking for. About fifteen minutes later
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: or so, I spotted smoke pouring out of the microwave,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and then I ran into the kitchen to see what
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: was going on, and I found, you know, in the microwaves,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: something in there is spinning around with flames shooting out
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of it. And so when I see that, being you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the he man, you know, guardian of the home that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I am, and a quick thinker to boot seeing all
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of that, I grabbed the microwave, yanked it off the counter,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and then ran outside and I threw it in a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: snowbank in the yard, you know, in town in Zealand.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of funny, right. Well. The real kicker here,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the thing that's kept this story alive in the family
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for all these years, is that this happened around ten
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: o'clock or so at night, and I was in my
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: underwear when I did all of that, Okay, barefoot in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the snow in my little whitey tidies running around with
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a flaming microwave over my head. Kids love that story.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They loved that visual everything about it was magical. In
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the house, no damage occurred, you know, the fire was small.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But we were stunned. And this is the bigger point,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: this is why I told you all of that. We
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: were stunned when we couldn't get the stink to go away.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That smoke smell was ever present, you know, day after
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: day after day, it just wouldn't go away, and it got,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you know, quite depressing after a while. Now, maybe that's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: happened to you. You've left a pan on the stove
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, maybe something gets burned
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: way past recognition, some kind of little fire in the kitchen.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That happens, You deal with it, you move on, but
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the smell doesn't move on, right, Maybe that's happened to you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Well today, let's talk about how you actually can get
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: rid of that smell. All right. Step one is really
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: really simple and straightforward. It's ventilation and filtration. Okay, nothing
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: new here, nothing rocket science y. Open the windows, run
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: exhaust fans, use box fans to move air out of
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the house and don't forget to think about the furnace filter.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: You know, if smoke, you know, you had a lot
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of it and it moved through the house, your HVAC
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: system may have pulled you know, the smoke particles into
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the return air, and you know it could be in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the filter, So replace the filter if it was, you know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: pretty significant. Ours wasn't significant enough to require that, but
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: who knows what you're dealing with. Just keep that in mind.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: If you've got a portable air cleaner with a HEPA filter,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: run that. That can help pull fine particles out of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the air. So step one, ventilate and filter, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: all of those things. Step two is where the real work,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, begins. You're gonna have to wash everything, Okay.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The thing to understand when it comes to this step
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and honestly, this whole problem, you know, this is the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: big key to it. Smoke smell isn't just something that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: floating in the air. Right if you get it out,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you know, now the smell is out there. That's what
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: we sometimes think. That's not how it is. Smoke is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: made up of tiny particles in oily residues, and those
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: particles land on things. They get into curtains, into upholstery,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: carpet cabinets, walls, ceilings, air filters, clothing, you know, all
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the little cracks and crevices in a room. And that's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: why regular cleaning often doesn't get it. You're not just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: trying to freshen up the air. You're trying to remove
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the residue that's landed on pretty much everything. So your
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: cleaning step actually needs to be pretty involved. So the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: first thing is to start with the source. You know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: if it was a microwave fire, don't just wipe down
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the outside of the microwave and call it good. Unplug it,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: clean the inside thoroughly. If it's still usable, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: remove that glass tray, the roller ring, anything removable. Get
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: those things out, wash them all separately. Same thing with
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a stove incident, the burned pan, the range hood, the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: filled there's anything there that you can get cleaned. Get
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: those clean. They could be holding the smell. But it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: goes way beyond that. You know, you start there, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: now you need to spread out. As I mentioned earlier,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that smoke leaves a residue on everything, so walls, ceilings, cabinets, doors, trim,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: light fixtures, switch plates, the top of the fridge, all
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: kinds of places that we don't normally clean and don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just wipe everything once and move on. Smoke residue, Like
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we said, it's oily. You may need to clean, rint,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: change your water, and clean again. Now for cleaners here,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you've got a number of options. A mild solution of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: don Dish soap works really well, but there are other
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: cleaners you can get a hold of. You know, we
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: carry a couple at the store, Crudcutter Champion. They're great,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: they're good degreasers, but you do need to be careful
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with them on painted surfaces. If you've got painted areas,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that mild solution of Dawn probably the best way to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: go once you've got the area cleaned. A product like
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Odoban I don't know if I'm saying that rightdo ban
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: who knows that product can really help kick that smell
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: out for good Oda Ban od b An odo b An.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It's a cleaner and a heavy duty smell neutralizer. It
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: can really help if the smell is persistent after you've
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: washed everything. Also with lingering orders, there are other things
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that you can try. Vinegar, baking, soda, activated charcoal, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: so on. But those they're really just supporting players in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: this cleanup. The big step is washing everything, you know.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: The thing to take away from all of this is
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that there are products out there that will help you
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: when you find yourself in this situation. Now, in a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: couple weeks, we're going to talk about dealing with cigarette smoke.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But for now, that's enough of that. All right, Let's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: shift gears and talk about a car show that's coming
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to the Lakewood Repcolite on July eighteen. We're going to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: get to that right after this homean Progress is brought
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to you by Repcolite Paints and Benjamin Moore. You know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: people often think of paint as just another line item
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: on the project's supply list. But here's the thing. Everything
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you do, every hour of prep, stroke of the brush,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: all comes down to the quality of the paint. The
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: paint is the project. Make sure it's the best. We're
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: back on Home in Progress, sponsored by Repcolite Paints and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Moore, and this segment is gonna be a little
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: bit different because we're talking cars, but not just cars.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: We're talking about community and ice cream and a fun
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: event coming up at our lake Wood Repcolite location. I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: joined by Jeff Mott, the manager of our lake Wood store,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to help me with all that. Jeff, thanks for being here.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Thanks for having me Dan.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So before we get into all the details, let's just
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: give everybody the basic idea. What do you got going
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: on at the lake Wood Repcolite coming up? I think
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it's Saturday, July eighteen, Right's right, So what's going on?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Give them the basic scoop.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So we're having a car show and an ice cream social.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: All right, So a car show and an ice cream social,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: all of that's coming up at the Laquid Repcolite store.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It's going to be happening from eleven to two o'clock.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Eleven to two, yes, okay, all the flyers I made
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it was eleven to one. Yeah, I know, so I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: have made that incorrectly.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: It doesn't it's all right, it's fine.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Is it my fault?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know whose fault it is? Matter I vaulted it?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: No, it kind of does, Jeff. These things matter to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: me a lot. And okay, so we've worked around that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I can just let that go. Oh yeah, okay, I'm
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: gonna let that go. It'll probably come up four more
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: times because it's tough for me to let go of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: things like that. So eleven to two on Saturday, July eighteen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and we're way ahead of things here.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's a ways out.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We're way early. I will remind people as we go,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: but we're early on it for a reason, and we're
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: going to get to that. So let's back up a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: little bit, because I think part of what makes an
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: event like this work is when people, you know, the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: person putting it together, actually cares about it. And Jeff,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: this is all you, right, So if it succeeds phenomenally,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: this is Jeff.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: We hope it does.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: It fails epically, it's fine. No, we'll help you get
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: through that as best we can. If it does fail,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: I hope it's nothing to do with that eleven to
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: one thing on.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The flyers that I made.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But you are so interested in this because you have
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: talked to me. I can't even remember how long, how
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: many years in a row you've talked to me about
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: doing a car show.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I bet you five years.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And I just don't get it, you know, That's really
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the bottom line is my brain doesn't get it. I'm
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: not really sure how to do that how it works.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I don't haven't gone to many of these. What is
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it about car shows that you like?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: So I kind of am interested in old cars from
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the sixties. I currently have a sixty six International Scout.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It's a kind of a pickup, looks like a jeep. Okay, so,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: but I've always been interested in old cars, you know.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: My age I grew up in the seventies and eighties
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: had an old sixty six car that I drove to
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: high school. So that was just what I'm interested in,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and I like talking to people about old vehicles. This
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: show is going to be a little different because we're
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: also having new.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Vehicles, all right, So it's a mix of things.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: It's a mix of things.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's one of those things that you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I think maybe people who aren't car people don't always realize,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: but a car show, you know, because I've dug into it,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and I've gone to one or two on accident. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: just happened to wander into a place where there was
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: water or all these cars here, I don't know, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: then I figured out it was a car show. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it's not just people standing in a parking lot looking
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: at vehicles or discussing engines. No, there's plenty of that, right,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But the one that I went to, you know, one
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: of my favorite things that I saw was I don't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: even know what kind of car it was because I'm
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: just not a car person. But it was old. It
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't a fancy car. It is, you know, something from
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the thirties, forties, something like that. The thing I loved
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: is they had a great big board out on an
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: easel and they had all these photos of the little
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: old lady who was very young when she bought it,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and this is the that's the person that these people
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: bought it from when she was a grandma, and they
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: had scraps of the original interiors and the history. It
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: was like a like a little mini museum, definitely, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: just having that big conversation about where it came from,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: all the care they put into it. There's a lot
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of stuff going on.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, definitely a lot of people enjoy just the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: restoration side restoration and the history of it. And many
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: times it has been passed down in the family, so
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you know, people their dad or grandfather bought it new
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: and then it's been passed down and it's been with
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: them for fifty years.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see that part I really could get into when
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you're going to these You know, do you have a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: favorite kind of vehicle that you love to see at
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a show?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Well, because I'm into trucks, so I like older trucks, okay,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: pretty much anything though, forward or shift doesn't matter, International sixties, seventies,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: even the eighties or kind of what I look for.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Do you like them when they're like restored to what
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: they were? Do you like them when they're all tricked
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: out weird? Yeah, the right word is I'm sure that's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: not it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I like off road vehicles, okay, so somewhat modified,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: all right, lifted usually, but I definitely appreciate the old
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: original vehicles too.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: So now this show is the it's not just it's
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the Corvette Club, but it's right just Corvette.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: So the Corvette Club is who we've invited, and they're
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: coming so they can have new corvettes. Twenty twenty six
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: is all the way back into you know, fifties or
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: sixties corvettes. So there'll be some new ones and some
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: old ones. And then yes, I'm looking for anybody to
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: come out with their old classic cars and trucks to
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: also join us.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: All right, so we're going to get into that because
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that's one of the things you wanted to That's one
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of the reasons we wanted to air this as early
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: as we could, just to get more vehicles there. Now.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Rep Coo Light, it's a paint store, you get right,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and we've got this thing going on on a Saturday
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: coming up in July, and people have to be wondering
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, why why would we be
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: hosting a car show? Now? To me, it makes some sense,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: you know, because Repcolite really we've we've always been you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: we're local, community focused, do a lot of stuff with
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the community. And the spaces in the store, you know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: they're kind of community spaces to some extent. Contractors are in,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: homeowners are in, They're bringing pictures of projects they're working on,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you know, and you see people multiple multiple times through
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a project, so you kind of walk with them through it,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you know. So there's that that community aspect. You know,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: what are you hoping out of this day? You know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: it's a weird question, but one of the things that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I think is a little bit not odd or anything
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: like that. All the other stores doing little events that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they're not doing a car show. That was your idea.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Everybody's been kind of tasked with come up with something
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: fun to do this summer. We're calling it summer Stops.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: People can stop buy all these different things. And you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: came up with the car show, and a lot of
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: people have like, Hey, we're going to have ice cream.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You called yours an ice cream social, which has this
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: older vibe to it. To me, you know, what are
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you looking for at this event? What are you hoping
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to see? What's ideal?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm hoping to have some actual customers and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: contractors that have old vehicles come to the show with
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: their vehicles, and so we can get to know them better,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: they can enjoy the ice cream. We're going to have
• 14:37

• 14:41
  Speaker 2: ice cream. So I want them to come out and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: spend a few hours get to know what's better, So

  Speaker 2: No, no charge it all.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I knew that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: But free ice cream, free.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: While it lasts while it lasts, right, because who knows

  Speaker 1: There's a few freebies and things like that, all of it.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: While it lasts. If people are thinking about coming out,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I know you guys got some construction going on in
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: front of the store. Yeah, talk with people through that
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So you can only go Lakewood from one hundred and
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: twentieth going west, but you can still get to the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: store and still get to the store. That's not problem.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And you can leave the store, oh right, definitely.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: You're not going to just be stuck there forever, No
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: none at all. They'll just have to go west. You
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: have to eventually turn around if they need to go
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: back east.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: If they need to go back east.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So casual, family friendly, stop in, walk around,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: no charge, look at the cars, talk with the owners,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: just enjoy the afternoon from eleven to two. Now the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Corvette clubs bringing vehicles and you mentioned you're looking for
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: other people to bring vehicles. Correct, yep, So what exactly
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: are you looking for there?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: So pretty much classic cars and trucks. Old motorcycles would
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: be nice too, if somebody has an old motorcycle and
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I want to drive it over.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: So if somebody is interested, you know they're hearing that
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and they're thinking, okay, that sounds kind of fun. What
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: do they gotta do? They have to register the view?
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: No with you, No registration, just when they pull in.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we'll ask when they give you the cash.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: No cash, Oh, there's no expense. No, uh, they'll just up.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: They'll just show up and we'll direct them to just
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the right spot to park.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: All right, So don't need to register ahead of time
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: if you've got a classic vehicle. If you do have
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: any questions, how do they get a hold of you?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: They can call me at lake Wood Rep.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Calight, okay, just call a lake With Rep CA light store.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: What's that number?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Three nine three zero zero two five.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Six one six, Area code six one six, Area code
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: three nine three zero zero five. All right, And you're
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: not just looking for corvettes, No, no, not looking just
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: for corvettes, interesting vehicles, motorcycles even.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Yep, we've got a few old ones already coming.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's all helpful because a lot of people
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: out there might be thinking, you know, I've have something
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: fun sitting in the garage. But they didn't necessarily think
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: of themselves as car show people. So it doesn't need
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to be a car that's been in car show.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: No, I've got a two thousand and five Grand Prix.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how classic that is.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: But I'm not sure about that either.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Rust pieces lay on the driveway every time we move it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: That's kind of cool, you know, we could bring that
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: all right. So the ice cream, it's one of our
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: summer stops. We mentioned ice cream. You said you've got
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: toppings and everything. It's not just and everything, just like
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: ice cream sandwiches or something. All right, but while supplies last, Yeah,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: it's not an unending it's not ending, not ending.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: But yes, I have quite a few toppings.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, Well it's all it's a huge idea.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm very interested to hear how it goes. Well, I'm
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: going to be there, so i'll see how it goes firsthand. Anyway,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: summer stops, we've got a lot of things going on
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: at a lot of different repcoal lights. If you're in
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: at any of the stores, just ask about the you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: ask for the invite. You can see what we've got cooking,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and definitely swing out. Jeff's event again is going to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: be July eighteen, eleven to two. It's a Saturday, correct,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: stop out, get that free ice cream. See Jeff, Thank
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you for this idea, and then maybe next year who
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: knows what expand on this. Yeah, we'll see, all right, Jeff.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I'll put links in the show notes if people want
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: more info, and I'll remind people as we go. But
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: thanks for taking time to talk about it today.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Dan.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: All right, last week we talked about bathroom lighting. We
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: talked about a lot of things related to the bathroom,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but we talked about bathroom lighting and how important that
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: was when you're looking at yourself in the mirror, if
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: you don't love what you see, it could be your lighting. Well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: there's more that could be involved. There could be other
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: things that are dragging you down. We're going to talk
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: about color as well, how important color is in the bathroom,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna get to that right after. This Home
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: in Progress is brought to you by Repcolite Paints and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Benjamin Moore. Think about it. You spend hours prepping, sandy, taping,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and then finally painting. Don't throw all that work away
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: with an inferior product. The paint isn't just another supply.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: The paint is the project. Make sure it's the best.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: So last week on the show, I talked about a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of stuff to consider before you tackle a bathroom remodel,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and one of the ideas that I covered was the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: importance of lighting in the bathroom, about how light over
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the mirror can make you look you know, washed out, tired,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: or maybe just kind of off. You know, when you're
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: standing there getting ready in the morning, you're listening to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Home in Progress by Repcolite Paint, sponsored by Benjamin Moore,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: and a lot of you wrote in about that that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: whole lighting thing. Apparently it's way more common than even
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I was expecting. It's seeming a lot of us, maybe
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: most of us, have had that moment. You know, you
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: think you look fine, you walk out of the door,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: you catch yourself in a different mirror somewhere and you go,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: what in the world has happened to me? Well, today
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I want to pick up on that topic again, because
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: there's a second half to the whole story that almost
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: nobody thinks about. You know, it's not just lighting in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the bathroom, it's the color on your bathroom walls. So,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: as I said last week, if you don't look as
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: great as you wish you did, there's a chance there's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a chance, I mean, it could be a small chance.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: There's a chance that you don't look as great as
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you wish you did, because it's the lighting in your bathroom,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and there's a chance that it's the color on your walls.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And really, when you think about it, it makes perfect
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: sense when when you dig into it. You know, my studio,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: for example, it's in a huge warehouse. And the other
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: day I was walking through and the sun was coming in,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you know, and I paused. It kind of caught me
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: off guard because the whole area, that whole portion of
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the warehouse was suddenly pink. It all looked pink. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on. It was really weird.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And then I took a few more steps and I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: noticed some panels that somebody had made for something. They
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: were painted a bright pink, and they'd been moved, you know,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the day or so before, and now they were in
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the path of the sun. They were catching the light
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and they were reflecting it back. It was new, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that's why it caught my interest or my attention. But
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: that pink was everywhere. Now in your bathroom, the color
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: on your walls can do exactly that. You know, probably
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: not as profoundly as that pink, because the pink in
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the warehouse here was a really bright pink on those panels,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: but still the color on your bathroom walls can be
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: doing that onto your face right every single morning, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: most people have no idea that it's even happening. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that color literally can affect how you look in the mirror.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And this is a little unique to the bathroom. You know.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: You may think, oh, this happens everywhere in the home,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: and it does to some extent, but it's a little
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: more unique in the bathroom because of the unique nature
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: of that space. You know, when you're standing in the bathroom,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: you're close to the walls because it's usually a small
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: space and you're staring into a mirror. You know, that's
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: not the common experience in most other rooms. And also,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: depending on the lighting in the bathroom, there's usually a
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: fair amount of it in that room. You know, it's
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: not always the best configuration of light, you know, like
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: we talked about last week, it's not always the best,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: but quite often it's one of the rooms that really
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: has the most lighting. It's usually one of the brightest
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: rooms in the home. And all of that adds up
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to that wall color getting bounced back onto you. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that wall color, like I said, can do what those
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: pink panels did in the warehouse. It can color your
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: face in subtle ways that you may not immediately realize,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and it may be, you know, it may be starting
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you off in a negative that you don't need to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: be in. Now. Photographers are aware of this, you know scenario,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and they call it color cast. And the idea is simple,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: whatever color is around you is going to cast itself
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: onto you, onto your skin. And to work around this,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: photography studios, at least a lot of them, paint their
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: walls a neutral gray on purpose, you know, flat plain gray,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: so that they don't get this fake tint on your skin.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: What they're after is your true skin tone, and then
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: they'll adjust from there with lighting. Makeup artists they deal
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: with this all day long too. A colored wall a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: bright shirt, anything nearby. Those things can throw tint onto
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: somebody's face and change the whole look. They know to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: watch for it, you know, they're aware of it. And
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that exact same thing is happening to you in your bathroom,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: at your bathroom mirror. You know, right now or the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: next time you stand in front of it. You just
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: never had a name for it. Now you do. Now
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you're so much smarter than you were just a few
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: minutes ago, just from listening to Home in Progress by
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Repcoloite Paints. You're welcome, folks, You're welcome, all right. That's
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: what can be happening in your bathroom. Let's go a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: little bit deeper, and let's look at some of the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: biggest culprits, you know, the colors that really work against
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you the most. And let's start with yellow, because yellow
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: is a big one, you know, especially a yellow that's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: got a little bit of green hiding in it. That
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: color reflects onto your skin and it makes you look sallow,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you know, tired, a little bit sickly. Honestly, it cancels
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: out the natural pain can red that's in your complexion,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you know, the stuff that makes you look healthy and awake,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: so yellowy greens not great for a bathroom in most situations.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Strong reds they're going to get you too. You know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: a big, bold red wall is going to throw a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: warm cast all over your face. You know, that's like
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the pink panels in the warehouse that I talked about.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: The stronger the color, the more tint it's going to
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: throw around. And here's another color that's a little problematic
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: that's going to maybe surprise you. Gray. And right about
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: now you're probably thinking, okay, wait minute. The photo studios
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: they paint their walls gray on purpose, right, So why
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: in the world would gray be a problem here? Well,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: they do that. But here's the difference, and it's an
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: important difference the studios. The photography studios want gray because
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: gray tells the truth. It doesn't add a fake tint.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: You know, we talked about that, but that real you know,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: true color isn't always all that flattering, you know, on
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: your face. So they use lighting, as we mentioned, they
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: aim warm lights and reflectors right at you to put
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the life back into you. They start with an honest
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: gray and then they warm you up to get to
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the point where you're acceptable for photographs. Now, most of
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: us don't have a crew doing that for us in
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: our bathrooms. You know, we just got the gray so
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: all by itself, what gray does to you is drain
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the warmth right out of your face. For the most part,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it leaves you looking kind of flat, kind of washed out.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I'm laughing because I work in an exclusively, entirely gray
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: room and it's devoid of mirror for that reason. But
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I do videos in here now that I think about it,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and I probably as I put them out on social media,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: people are probably worrying about my health or wishing that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: nature would speed things along so they didn't have to
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: watch those videos any longer. So gray, that's what gray does.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And when you think about it, it's been so popular
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: for so long that many of us, many of you
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: listening probably right now, have a lot of gray in
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the bathroom and every morning. You know, I don't know
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: what that's doing to you. I don't want to get
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: in your head and make it worse, because if you
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: were happy with what you had, well, don't even give
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: this a second thought. But if you've kind of looked
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: in the mirror and you've wondered, you know, I just
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: don't look great anymore. I look so tired and drained
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and washed out. Could be that gray? Could be that gray?
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Something to think about. And another thing to think about is,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing when you, you know, look
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: in the mirror and maybe you don't look your best.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe a lot of you guys especially are thinking, eh,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: you know, what am I going to do? You know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it's not going to really change anything. Well, but you
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: got to think about the ladies, guys, because there's makeup,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: right makeup involved, you know, and I'm no expert, but
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: it's really not that hard to imagine. The scenario at
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the wall is casting a color onto your face, and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: then you're doing your makeup with that bad information. You know.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Really what you're doing is you're correcting for a problem
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: that the room invented. You say, the wall makes you
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: look a little green and a little tired. Okay, just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: imagine that. So you assume that's the real you because
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that's what you see every morning, and you pile on
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the blush or whatever to make your face look less
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: corpse colored. Now that's not very flattering. Well, this is
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: not a flattering conversation anyway. You try it, You do
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: what you can to make your face look less corpse colored.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful, ladies, It just happens to be corpse colored
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to you. It's not really how we see it because
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it's your bad in wall color. Maybe that's doing it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: But anyway, you overload your face with blush to just
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: you know, get over that corpse coloring, or sometimes it
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: goes the other way and the wall makes you look
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: really flushed and warm, so you skip the color that
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: you actually needed to apply. Anyway, you do your makeup
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: with that set of information, you know, all of those
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: things that you're seeing in that room. You do your
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: makeup with that, and then you head outside into the world,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you know, into the real daylight, and the makeup is
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: all wrong. You know, it's too much or it's not enough. Thankfully,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: you're oblivious until you get to another mirror, and then
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you're stunned at what you're looking at. But everybody else,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: you know, is looking at you because they all see you,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: and they're wondering what in the world you were thinking
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: in the morning. You know, they don't realize it was
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: perfect in your bathroom, you know, because of your terrible
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: wall color choice. All right, So to varying extents. I
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: don't know how you know prevalent these issues are, but
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I know it's a real thing. It's really out there,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and you really can run into it. You know. It
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: really is a possibility that you can face depending on
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the wall color that you choose for your bathroom. Now,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: one other thing to think about here with wall colors
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom is that they're not just bouncing like
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: back onto your face. In a bathroom, there's a really
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: unique setup where you're standing really close to the wall
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and you're looking at yourself in a mirror with a
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: given color, you know, the wall color as a backdrop. Now,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: we all know that certain colors look better on us
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: than other colors, or at least that's not that hard
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to imagine if we don't know what our colors are.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: We've heard people talk about them, and we've seen people
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: in certain colors and the colors are very flattering for them,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and then we see them in other colors and then
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: they're not as flattering. Right, you know, we all know
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about here. Well, keep in mind that
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom that can happen as well. A blue
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: wall can look great in the space, but if it's
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: not your color. You might never look as good as
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you could when you see yourself in the mirror, because
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that's the color that you're framed against. All of that
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: is really intriguing to me because it brings up something
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: that I think really is completely unique to bathrooms. There
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: are two things to think about when you're choosing your
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: color for your bathroom. You've got to think about how
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: they look, you know, how those colors will look in
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that space. You know, that's the thing we always think about,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: how are the colors going to look in that space
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: with my stuff, or with my new stuff or whatever.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: You know, we're worried about the colors in that space
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: with all of the little pieces and other things that
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: we're going to bring in. In a bathroom, you've got
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: to add a whole other layer to that, and you've
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: got to wonder about how those colors are going to
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: look against you. How are the colors going to make
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: you look. There's two components here. It's really intriguing you.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: You don't think about that in the kitchen, you don't
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: need to. In the bathroom, you kind of do you know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: a deep moody charcoal or one of those you know,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: trendy green colors that everybody loves right now. They can
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: be really beautiful in the room. You know, the room
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: can look like a magazine, but they can make the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: persons standing in the room look a little bit unwell,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: you know, a little bit unwell, a little unhealthy. Maybe
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: that color can be great for the space and still
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: be terrible for you. So, bathroom paint colors, they've got
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: two different jobs, and people usually ever only think about
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the first one. All right, in the time that I
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: got left, Let's look at some colors that often work
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: well for people in a bathroom space. I mean, we
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: talked about some of the ones that don't work so well.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the colors that do. And right off
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the bat, let's start here. Soft, warm neutrals, warm whites.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: You know, anything living in that peach soft pink, soft pink,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: muted pink, warm beige family. You know, those colors reflect
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: a gentle, warm glow back onto your skin, and that
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: warm glow flatters just about everybody, you know, no matter
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: you're coloring, it's flattering for most people. It's like standing
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: in nice morning light. Not many of us look bad
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: just standing in nice morning light. If that's you. Well,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: your bathroom's not going to fix that.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: That's a you price, and I'm sorry about it. I'm
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: sure you're a nice person, all right, You got a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: great personality. Lean into that. Spend less time worrying about
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the colors in the bathroom, and just really focus on personality.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: If you look bad in morning light anyway. So those colors,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: muted nature colors, they do well too. A soft blush,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: a powder blue, you know, a quiet sage green, nothing
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: too loud, nothing too saturated. Again, the keyword is muted
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: soft blue. I mentioned a powder blue. Soft blue is
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: a funny one. It's calm, it's spa like, you know,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: people love it for a bathroom. And a pale powder
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: blue is just fine, like we talked about. But if
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you push it a little bit darker or cooler, that
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: blue is going to start to chill your skin down.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: It's going to make you look a little pale, a
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: little cold. So keep that in mind. A soft, dusty
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: lavender that can actually be quite flattering because there's a
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: little bit of pink living in it, and that pink
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: works in your favor. But if you lean too purple,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: it can get cold fast. Warm earth tones, Terra cottas
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: soft clay colors. They're very forgiving on the skin, so
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: keep those in mind, and remember the wall and the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: lighting are a team. They work together. You put a nice,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: warmish light on a flattering wall color, and for the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: first time, you're actually seeing your real face, not the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: room's version of your face. So keep that in mind.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Lighting and color they work together. So the big takeaway here,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the color you choose for bathroom is never just about
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the room. It's about you as well. It's about how
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: you look in there, how your makeup turns out, and honestly,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: how you feel when you walk out the door in
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the morning. So the next time you're standing in the
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: store looking at paint chips for a bathroom, you know,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: falling in love with colors, do yourself a favor. Ask
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: one more question. Don't just ask does this look good?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Is this going to look good? You know, in my bathroom,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: on my walls, with my stuff? You know? Remember that
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: question that's important, But also ask the second one that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you need to ask when it comes to bathroom colors.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: How am I going to look in this? So maybe
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you got to hold it up behind yourself and I
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: don't know. I get some opinions. You're gonna have to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: test some colors. That's what Benjamin Moore's color samples are
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: four all right, at least that's a really practical way
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to use them. For like six bucks, you can get
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: enough paint to brush out a pretty large section and
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: view the color in your space, stand in front of it,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: view yourself in the mirror, see if you've made any improvements.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: All right, bathroom colors. That's enough of that. All right,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: let's take a break, and when we come back, I
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: want to talk about a really handy little cut in bucket.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: It's the simplest little thing, but man, it's absolutely so cool,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: so inexpensive. It's on sale now through the end of June,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to try to make the case for
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: why you need to have at least one of these
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: in your paint kit. And we'll do that right after this.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Home in Progress, where the projects are real,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the mistakes. They're educational, sometimes painful, mostly educational. And the
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: only thing more stubborn then that old wallpaper on your
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: bathroom wall is your determination to get it fixed. Probably
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: sponsored by Repkolite Paints and Benjamin Moore Paint with a purpose,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: people who care, and everything you need to get the
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: job done right. I stumbled down to one of my
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: favorite stories from when the kids were little the other day.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Home in Progress by Repel Light Paint
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: sponsored by Benjamin Moore, and I apologize if you've heard
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: this before, but it's just a great story and it
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: makes a really good paint point. Anyway, we have to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: go back a long time for this story, to twenty
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: eleven or so. My daughter Hannah is really young, you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: two or three, So get that in your mind. I
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: was making dinner for the kids and I made all
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: of them spaghettios, and then I put a pitcher of
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: water on the table and figured I was good. You know,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: they ate their food. They made a mess, and eventually
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: they finished. I came behind, mopped everything up, wiped the
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: table down, and finally, once they were all taken care
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of parents, you know how this goes. Finally I sat
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: with my own dinner and as I ate, the kids
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: came by, one after the other after the other, and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: they told me every single thing that happened during the day.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: You know, story after story went through my ears. Until
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: eventually I found myself, you know, just sitting at the table,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: my food gone, and Hannah, my three year old or
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: whatever age, she was sitting on my lap, still talking incessantly.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: My brain was thoroughly exhausted at that point, but I
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: do remember grabbing the picture of water that was still
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: on the table from the kid's dinner and pouring myself
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: a glass. And then as Hannah continued to drone on
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and on about this or that, I took little SIPs
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and tried to understand what she was telling me. Well,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: at some point, at some point and all of that,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I noticed that something wasn't quite right. You know, I
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: wasn't immediately aware of what it was exactly, and I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: tried to ignore the feeling, but my brain wouldn't let me,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you know. I took another drink of water, and then
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: suddenly it hit me. I was chewing. You know, I
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: was done eating. I'd been done for a while. There
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: was no food left on my plate. But here I
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: am chewing now, drinking water. That's not normally a chewing experience,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: but I was sitting at the table, drinking water and
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: chewing it. And the more I thought about it, the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: more I realized I wasn't just chewing water, I was
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: chewing something in the water. Well, naturally, I quickly grabbed
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: my glass and I held it up to take a look.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: And when I did, I was shocked. You know. Instead
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: of clear, crystally liquid like you want to see, it
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: was gray and murky. There were things floating in there.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Something went by that looked like part of a meatball.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Something else was, you know, I was pretty sure was
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a spaghettio, and there were other unidentifiable things as well.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: It was a smorgusborg of gray food products, all suspended
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in a liquid that seemed suddenly thicker and heavier than
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: simple water. Anyway, I picked up the picture and a
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: quick look aside revealed more of the same floating things
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: bobbing up and down in some gray, opaque liquid. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: then I looked at the outside of the picture and
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I saw these small orange spaghettio sauce handprints on the handle.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Closer examination revealed orange lip marks around the rim. I
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: looked at Hannah, did you drink out of the pitcher?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: She nodded, of course, and said only twice. Well, apparently
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: two times was enough for Hannah to completely poison the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: water hole and there's the paint point. How many times
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: have you started a painting project with some brushwork. You know,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you're cutting in, cutting in around windows, doors, trim whatever
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: inside outside doesn't matter. When you do that, most people
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: grab the paint bucket, you know, the gallon or the quart.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: They carry it with them. They dip the brush into it,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: They wipe the excess off on the rim, and they paint.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: When the brush is empty, they go back to the
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: bucket for more. It's like Hannah drinking out of the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: water pitcher. You know, if you brush into a spider
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: web or pick up dirt, especially outside, and then dip
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: back into your bucket, you've instantly contaminated all the paint
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna find that out later. When you start
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: rolling bigger areas, suddenly you're picking little chunks of who
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: knows what out of the finish. So instead of working
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: straight out of the can, pour a little paint into
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: something smaller and right now at Repcolite, we've got handy
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: paint cups and handy paint pails on sale. The cups
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: are cheaper and they're a little bit smaller. The pails
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: are bigger. They hold up to about a quart, and
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the pails have liners available as well. Both of these things,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: the cups and the pails are crazy easy to hold.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: The pails have a strap, the cups have a handle,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and both fit comfortably in your hand right away. They're
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: way better than working from a quart can or a
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: gallon can, or an old whipped cream container or whatever
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: you might use. And my favorite part about them is
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the built in magnet. It holds your brush when you
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: need to set it down so it doesn't slide into
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the paint. And that may not sound like a big deal,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: but once you try it, you'll get it. It's really cool.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Both the Handy Paint cups and the Handy Paint pails
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: are on sale at Repcolite now through the end of June.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Stop in grab a few. They're inexpensive and you'll thank
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: me later. All right, that's going to do it. If
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: you want to catch this episode again, you can find
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: it online at repcolit dot com. Whatever you do today
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: makes your paints a part of it. Have a great weekend, everybody,
