Gorman's Furniture & Design

Welcome back. Fall season is fully underway, and you may want to get your home in the autumn spirit. Joining us today is Patrick Hutton from Gorman's Furniture. Welcome, welcome. Thank you. Thank you for having me. So what is it about fall that we want to bring inside of our homes? I see you have little sparkly pumpkins, which I love. What is it that we can do that just kind of zhuzhes our home a little bit? Just zhuzhes it a little bit, you know, not to, you know. Plaster the whole house in fall because, you know, obviously it's so close to the Christmas and things like that. It's okay. But just little touches that you can bring into your home that are from outside that you don't have to spend, you know, a lot of money. So you have these things. Where did you gather them from? Do we just go to any art store? You can go to any art store. You can go outside. Oh, so you can get your... You know, I grabbed these actually from my yard. It's hard. And then also the bowl, again, a lot of people have these. You can also use a charcuterie board. I like that idea. You know what I mean? Everybody always has those laying around. Should we put something together then? Yes, absolutely. What do you recommend then? And are we looking for color? You could do a lot of color, a lot of warm tones. Okay. What's big this year also is like these burgundy colors. Oh, okay. Okay. Very nice. A little bit of sparkle is always helpful. I dig a little sparkle here and then I see you got the candle in the middle. So we can't really overdo this then? No, no, no, no. Just keep it simple. Okay, so we're starting with the twigs from your backyard. Yeah, the twigs from backyard. And we're keeping it simple. Keeping it simple. I can just imagine going outside and these twigs will be waiting for me. I mean, you can buy them too, you know. Right, but why? Why? All right, so first thing you want to do, you want to make sure that you get a vase that's tall enough or will anything work? Because honestly, is there a way to mess this up? No, there really isn't. It's kind of foolproof. Okay. These are vases in my house. Everybody has them. Right. You know. And then you can cut the sticks. You know, obviously, you know, this is a taller vase. You know, you can also, let this just pop it in here. You could like maybe spray paint them gold or... I was going to, yep. I was going to say that. You read my mind. You read my mind. So we've got our twiggies. Yep, you've got your twigs. And then just from the big box retailer, they have these for a dollar, two dollars. Why not take advantage? Exactly. So, you see, you just ripped it right on off. You just ripped it right off. This way, you can just do that. And then you put it right back on. Oh, okay. Like it never even... So, even if you got it from outside, you can just snatch it, put it back on. Yeah. Okay. All right, continue on. Yeah. Continue on. Yeah, see, so it just... Play with it, you know? Just snatch it away. And the nice thing about this is this is natural. It is very natural. So if it doesn't fit, you just break the leaf. Okay, very good. Yeah. So I can just imagine you just going outside, looking around, and, oh, this leaf looks great. You're like, oh, look, this is perfect. I think I'm going to follow whatever he said to do. And even you've got the little pinecone guys in here, too. Yeah, so this is a little something, too, also. Okay. So you're looking for a low vase or just... Low vase. If you have, like, an old candy dish that's clear, you know, take those pinecones, put them in there. Sure, I've got lots of old candy dishes. Oh, okay, so we're just doing that. Can I put a little sparkle up in here? Yeah, put a little sparkle in there. I'm all now. I mean, you just... Matches my nails. Okay, so we got a little sparkle in there. A little sparkle. You can put this in there if you want. So it's just about gathering things that either have color or just are interesting that you want to put on your table. Exactly, natural elements. I mean, that's something that's timeless. And they even sell the ones that smell like cinnamon. So instead of having that big broom. That overpowered the whole room. Gotcha, gotcha. You could just put these on a little coffee table. Absolutely, but I say just in case. You do get your own. You do get the candle. You can get your candle and put it on a little charcuterie board or something that looks nice and wooden and natural. Exactly. And then, you know, you could put this on the table. You could put this on the coffee table, you know. And then, also, I always wanted to say, you know, you want to jar a candle. Absolutely. So how can people find you or if they have ideas, should just go to Gorman's and just hook them up? Yep. Absolutely. All right. We will put a link on our website at fox2detroit.com. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you. You gave us some good ideas. I'm just going to start scouring my yard and see what I can find.
