#23: Mo House, Mo Problems?

Now that your clocks have fallen back for Daylight Savings (and if you have kids, they were up extra early – yay!), let’s dive into the show notes for Episode #23 of Objectales Has A Podcast. This week’s episode is coming at you from a hotel room in Baltimore, and we answer three callers seeking home-related updates (from how things are holding up years later to whether it was a shock to move from a smaller ranch-style home to a larger two-story one). the studio also celebrates *almost* predicting a 2017 color of the year, John gets emotional over another podcast, and we share why it’s especially nerve-wracking to do DIY on camera. Oh, and in honor of Election Day, our quiz takes a surprisingly political turn.

You can download this episode from iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and TuneIn Radio – or listen to it below! Then use this page to check out any links, notes, or photos that we referenced.

What’s New

• Above is a shot from our architecture tour of Chicago. That’s the beautiful Chicago Cultural Center and its gigantic Tiffany glass dome (along with some heart-eyed bloggers snapping pics).
• Below is the studio’s shot of our sweet recording set-up in our hotel room in Baltimore. Note the fancy sound-deadening layer on the table (bathmat) and the professional-grade computer stand (bed).

Update

• You can listen back to our What’s Not quiz in Episode 17 where we mused about what Benjamin Moore might name it’s Color of the Year in 2017.
• And here’s where you can read more about their actual pick, Shadow.

What’s Not

• Well, we’ve got you covered if you wanna browse all of Pottery Barn’s sofas and brush up on your Vice Presidents of the United States via Wikipedia.

Listener Calls

• The photo above shows the before & after of our stair runner. And here’s a link to the rug itself along with our original post about how we installed it.
• If you’re not familiar with our three homes, you can tour them each here: First, Second, and Current.
• You can also see rough floor plans of each of them in these posts: First House, Second House, Current House
• And below is a shot of our kitchen runner, which we’re pretty crazy about (its egg tolerance only made our love stronger). It’s from Ballard Designs.

We’re Digging

• Here’s the Daily Calendar from Social Print Studio we’re both super digging.
• And definitely check out the Reply All podcast. The two episodes I mentioned were #79 Boy in Photo and #50 The Cathedral, which you can listen to below:
