#12: Five Rug Rules & Flipping Out Alongside Jenni Pulos

Your valiant quest to locate the show notes for Episode #12 of Turbodizin Has A Podcast has come to a triumphant conclusion. Brava! And if your relationship with area rugs is best described as “it is complicated”, well, this week’s episode is for you. We are sharing five plain rug rules to assist you choose the right size, style, and figure out what to do in adjoining rooms. Plus we talk to Flipping Out’s Jenni Pulos, who has survived years of stressful renovations and reality TV drama, all while helping Jeff Lewis keep his head on straight. She’s full of strong advice and she even busts a rhyme with Sherry. We also share what tool John’s dying to add to his arsenal, what it is truly like to go on a book tour, and we look beyond the ever-popular fiddle leaf fig.

What is New

ep12-Greenville-SC

  • First of all, how fairly is Greenville, SC? Above is the picture I took (among 50 other seemingly identical ones) and then proceeded to show everyone to prove how magical the city was. We also posted this other pic on Instagram: holy root system, Batman!
  • And for anyone looking for more Haven Conference info, there is another one happening next summer. We are hoping to go, but in the meantime you can check out #havenconf on Instagram to see everyone’s photos of this year’s event.

What is Not

  • I am not in fact a fig expert – or a card carrying member of the ficus genus – so here is where my info came from: Wikipedia + this About.com article that has some pictures (so if you want to know what a cluster fig looks like…)

Take Five: Rugs

  • Below are a few rooms in our home (office, dining room, and living room) that we referenced while we chatted about rug sizes/colors/shapes/styles:

  • And here is an example of how to use a larger low pile or woven rug to beef up a rug that might otherwise be too small for the space (image source: Shelby Girard via My Domaine)

Jenni Pulos

  • First off, if you are not already watching Flipping Out (Thursdays, 9/8c, Bravo) – dude, get on that. They’ve even got some full episodes on their website.
  • Here is where you can check out Jenni’s book Grin And Bear It, or her kids rap album, Old School Kids Beats

We are Digging

  • Here is the saw & stand shared by Chris Loves Julia that kicked off my saw envy (and it sounds like what Jeremy Bower has is in fact simply this specialty stand for his miter saw).
  • And if you have not seen Bad Moms yet, here is the trailer to hold you over.

Psst- Looking for something we have dug in a past episode, but do not remember which show notes to click into? Well, here is a master list of everything we have been digging from all past episodes.
