Summary

In this episode we’re talking about how to shop online. We’ve gotten to this age where people make so many decisions and like to do it online because it’s hard to get out and do it in the real world during a pandemic, so we just want to give you a few guidelines based on our shopping experience. We shop for other people all day every day, make decisions for them in making a home, and we would like to share some of our guidelines with you when looking online. Some of this might be common sense to you while other things like dimensions and whatnot that make things look really designer, rich, and full might be new information. Shop somewhere that matches your style and scale 2:18Understanding your true North 6:23Sofas 8:04Fabrics 19:18Oils and rugs 20:38End table 28:52Lighting 29:34Getting help 32:48Rugs 34:21“I think most of the higher end furniture vendors we carry, the frames are doweled, glued, and screwed. I think a cheaper frame is gonna be stapled together.
