Founded by Trace Mayer, they create each piece with recycled materials that embrace our history. The pieces are user-friendly, beautifully designed and easy to use. All are original works of art made in Louisville, KY and all are priced the same: $65. They keep a constantly revolving collection on their website and with participating retailers. New “Bees” are released each Wednesday. https://museumbees.com/

If you are overwhelmed with all the demands of social media as it pertains to your business, you are not alone! Besides running a full-service design business and hosting a full podcast schedule, Joann and I also do our own social media. Yes, we have pondered the notion of contracting this out, but we are too committed to our authenticity to embrace the idea of handing it over to a third party… so here we sit. 

TikTok is a platform that we have yet to fully jump on board with and that will probably actually change after today’s episode.

Our guest Lauren Moore is a content strategist who helps brands find their voice and grow their online presence for business results.

Today Lauren is going to talk to us about why TikTok can help you grow your Instagram following and how her side-hustle book club went viral.

Her work has notably increased the organic reach of clients, including major brands like MTV, Campbell's, and Subaru, contributing to more than 12 million combined follower growth.

In collaboration with Phil Pallen Collective, she has strategically guided and grown more than 350 brands globally.

Lauren is the founder of @BookHuddle, a vibrant community of 130k book enthusiasts that hosts reading retreats across North America. She believes anyone can achieve their dreams with hard work and an open mind.

SHOW NOTES

Trends come and go, and they influence us whether we realize it or not. In this episode, we talk about what’s IN and what’s OUT for 2024, how to balance new trends with updated classics, and how to know when it’s time for a refresh.

1.    SPONSOR

We source a lot of Norwalk furniture in our projects for a number of reasons, one being that Norwalk builds heirloom quality furniture rather than landfill quality furniture. You
know what that is also called? Sustainable! Doing their part to create healthy homes and environments is a core principle at Norwalk and we want to be a part of that.

Another reason is that, unlike many other manufacturers, Norwalk has a particularly
fabulous array of patterns and bright, fun fabrics to partner with performance fabrics, leathers, and textures like boucle and velvet.

If you are in the Trade, you really must be sourcing Norwalk Furniture. Check out their website – norwalkfurniture.com and especially their 360-Design tool to help visualize pieces. They are now shipping in under 8 weeks!

Key Take Aways:

1.    Learn what classic items stand the test of time and what to spend your money on.
2.    Why wellness and restoration is so important and how to create it in your home.
3.    How many years you can get by before it’s time to update your furnishings.

In this episode, we share inspiration and insights from our experience attending the Aspire Summit in Atlanta, a two-day event for entrepreneurs aimed at inspiring growth financially, professionally, and personally. We are always looking for ways to grow, and thought an event NOT focused on interior design, but rather on small business success, would be a breath of fresh air.
 
Key Takeaways:
1.    Take time AWAY from your business to work on your business.
2.    Nobody cares more about your money than you. It’s important to increase your financial IQ.
3.    Visualize the next scene in your movie or chapter in your life. Allow yourself to daydream then vocalize that to the universe and ask the universe to send you signs and signals.

See you in the New Year! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

1. 2023 was filled with events, trips, unique installs, remodels, and a lot of learning. We cannot wait to see what 2024 will bring! 

2. Design events are some of our favorite ways to learn about up-and-coming design elements and network with fellow designers or business owners. Gatherings such as AmericasMart Atlanta and the High Point Insider’s Tour not only offer invaluable networking prospects but also serve as a source of inspiration for fortifying our business.

3. Being featured in Atlanta Magazine Home and earning design award nominations emphasizes the pivotal role of industry recognition. Being recognized in this way means so much to us. 

4. Try to balance work and travel, even brief breaks rejuvenate, sparking fresh insights and creativity. For example, drawing inspiration from diverse cultures and design hubs like Marrakesh can be transformative.

5. We thank our audience's unwavering support, recognizing this support is a reminder of the resilience and shared positivity that can fuel continued success.
