all the wonderful resources that we have here in new jersey which brings us to our very first show within that bussy and emily scotto from creative display in tipping falls new jersey thirty two years in business and it's a wholesale manufacture that were open only to the trade we have a forty thousand square foot showroom i would want to call it a warehouse because it's better than that yet but it has all treasures from all over and  we have phenomenal employees that can help you and we work from either creating a floral for you all the way to dining room tables the living room sets artwork anything you can imagine yes i saw exciting to visit and it's right here in new jersey which is so fun for me to take my clients to because when i take them into your interview our store location they are so overwhelmed i call it disney world for furniture right here in new jersey so it's so exciting when we go to visit sometimes they're a little bit overwhelmed which is why i'm there to help them to navigate all the fun stuff that you have in the store so emily tell me you recently both returned from north carolina and from the market for a poll of twenty seventeen what's new what's exciting well first i want to thank you for having us here this is such a pleasure and it is very exciting i'm working for the an f eighteen years and i honestly have to say there's not a day that passes where that i'm not thrilled to go to work it's a very exciting environment we went to north carolina there is so much to see there so much to learn tons of different vendors a lot pop into my head there is a company called go home that has the most unique variety of things you will ever say i love the name home is it's amazing like stepping back it's like the golden oldies so it's almost going to like a lack of a better word like a large flea market there are things you would never imagine that people would actually buy so that we've learned that there is a buyer for everything yes and it's just you have to go there and you have to see what's new and exciting and bring it back with us and you bring it back to creative display exactly so we get to see firsthand what the newest trends are right and that's what the most exciting part is like after the show has to come because then weeks after that our customers know to check to see all the new finds we have yes that's wonderful and so the net tell me are you seeing some new color trends right now in the north carolina was there anything that popped out or is it just a little bit of everything a little bit of everything but i think a lot of the color trends go back to neutral very very the organic looking we see an influence of blue and some whites and gold are coming back but it's a nice so homey and back to nature which we're seeing a lot of with and then they a lot of times you'll find they bring a pop of color in it a lot of times in your artwork larger pieces of art are very common and there's a piece behind us yes yes so you mentioned the gold accessories right i remember the gold back when in the eighty's i would imagine when we all bought brass lamps and gold is coming back that it's a slightly different gold is it not it's not the same as we used to we're used to seeing from the past it has a much more mad look it's a songwriters are there and we're seeing it everywhere in plumbing fixtures and accessories and chandelier how this is how this is affecting us do you think that it's a cheerful color i talk a lot about color so i know gold makes us feel special i think i love gold i love gold and i'm glad it's coming back you know right now like the color trends i think anything goes it's very eclectic yeah a lot of people are doing silver with gold and mixing mixing in mixing metals and it's fun yeah some people are afraid if they have you know the chrome they're afraid to mix with the gold or the stainless steel with the golden i mix a lot but the rule of thumb if you're mixing is always do things in threes right that's a good design a rule right so we want to tell our consumers that if you are going to bring in a gold piece you've got to bring in three right  that's how you repeat the design tip number one so let is there if manufacture that you guys fell in love with besides this manufacturer that you mentioned is there any one else that you must bring back to the shop you know what i find when we go down there there's so many it's like the hunt to find the new and exciting we like to find the new piece of writing that that is like more of the conversation piece so when you come into our show room that you see the variety and you see the piece that no one else is going to have right which is like what we really look for and then you can fill in with a lot like we carry bernhard we carry classic home furniture classics but you can fill in with those products but we do like to provide pieces that are just the conversation piece that really finish off your room and it just makes your room that much more special than the average right right and that's what i love about it is i know that i'm going to walk into the shop and i'm going to find something unique and then design an entire room around that unique piece really is what we do so you must work with a lot of interior designers because you you work directly with designers we do yeah we can you tell those are our viewers w important to know what traits are important in an interior designer well in my opinion i think the best thing to do is to connect with that person one on one thing that's the most important because you're decorating something that's very important to me in my home as well as everybody else that's like you know you go home you want to be in peace you want to love where you are you want to love your surroundings you have and so choose somebody that can actually listen to you and i think that's what did that has taught all of us to listen to the designers coming in and to to hear what they're looking for and to assist them and i think that when you're looking for a designer that's what you should look for right right and did that one what would you say about interior designers what traits would you like to see in an interior designer you know they need to come in they need to be ready and plan they have to have to have a great plan when designing a room because like you said it is a very large building so what happens is that we have there's just so many different styles and it's so vast that it's difficult so if they command and when they're prepared and really know like the job you just completed right when you saw the finished product you were you couldn't even believe it i mean it really the entire product the entire project was done with purchases from creative display which brings me to the next really exciting question you know when we order furniture it usually takes fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen weeks to receive right and that seems to be the biggest i think the biggest downfall when it comes to receiving furniture because it's almost like you designed this whole space and then we wait wait wait wait wait what i love is how fast can we delivery if we come into your shop well i think that's what makes us unique i don't think there's another store around that can do what we do so we have such a large variety i mean an enormous amount of product that you can come and you don't have to wait you can come in you can choose your product and have your whole hunt your whole entire house done in a week or in that way then heard yeah yeah i'm actually brought you know clients in and we pick everything out and then i think we were in there on a thursday and by that tuesday it was delivered and i was in the house setting up all the accessories and that's the great thing also about accessorizing is many of our clients have a hard time visualizing scale and proportion and so when they can come in and they can see the scale in the space they get a better feeling of how to access arise because you guys do such a beautiful job setting that up so they can visually see the possibilities would you agree yeah you know it's really nice a lot of time i'll walk up to the front of the building where our clients bring the product up there to be ready to be written up and it's amazing how you can see the story they're trying to tell and how that the product really complements each other and that when they do arrive at the home to accessorize for their client it's it's magical and it's very very very little returns that come back because normally the designer that comes  knows what their plan is like i said before that they have a plan and they follow that plan and in the end it shows in their final project yeah yeah and i always have a plan but what i love about coming in to shop as well is my plan sometimes goes out the door i mean it's still the basic plan but what i love about is i come in and i get inspired with something new that just came in and then likely that one pill be that one thing that can change everything and i change my color scheme slightly like you said the foundation is always neutral so you know there are times when i do have a plan but there's something spectacular about coming into the shop and seeing something new and going wait a minute this is going to be perfect let me change things up a little bit and the beauty about your store as well as i come in and i could say i want all of these excess threes and by the way everything here today is from creative display is that not amazing because i think we have a beautiful location here we have a beautiful set and i want to thank both of you with your assistance because all of this great furniture comes from creative display as well as tell us about your so flower arrangements  because i think that's just specialty right that not and i just want to you just came and put this out on what on friday i'm writing you have a minute and said i want that that that that here we are you are and here we are right so tell us about your silk flowers and your succulent is that not your it is creative splays that's what the company began as all the floral designing and then as as the trends changed because people came more simplistic in their design the large floral arrangements weren't being done as much so we had to come up with something else to be able to be in that size building that we're in so we began bring in furniture and smaller excess threes and then it kept growing but i've seen in the last five years because of the internet which we are on with our florals it really has grown and it's tremendous the volume that you could do in it and now today the product is so lifelike it's just beautiful the succulents i mean you have to touch them to realize that they're artificial and that's the beauty of it because a lot of times you can have fresh plants but sometimes you came here and it's nice to have that little touch of you know life in your room that does make a difference and you customize it all we do you know i know we come in and we see some beautiful arrangements like our silk flowers behind emily i love the vase the gold was and i love the artistic miss that you put into all of your designs but if i don't see anything in the shop i know you will custom make something for me as well they always say bring a picture and if you have a specific design or a specific look just bring it in and you can work with the other designers the girls that are there who are magnificent and we can create a for you right we have enough product that that's for sure i mean you could actually pick out the flowers and then you make it we can pick out the volcano and the container all the different colors and then was right maybe you know we always say if you can envision it we can create it and i also say that when i come into the shop i have to say this your employees your staff is right on top i mean they are the best they're friendly they're knowledgeable they are they run around like crazy to help you and so i really do love your entire staff so i to say kudos to all of them because they really make me feel welcome as well as my clientele you know i'm not sure how much time we have because my timing is running out but i want to take a little bit more time to talk about your holiday shop because i think the first time i came into your shop it was during the holidays and i know you really transform and when we talk about scale and proportion the scale of that is amazing  just to see the holiday shop is so spectacular when do you normally start to set up for the holidays and and when should we start thinking about that well the net usually starts december buying the product atlanta and dallas to what she's going to do and create for the following little holidays right right right because there's such a volume that we do purchase and we have to be prepared for it because of how many pieces are manufactured in the different designs and you know we do we do a lot of high end hotels in new york city right and we ship all over the united states at this point and we've got a lot we're going to still splays some of the items that are in your store and i have some great pictures of the holiday shop but it is really quite an experience just to walk into the store as well where you have it all set up right now i think you normally set it up in the store sometime in september is that correct we start in august preparing an august and september we open right and it's because we do a lot of commercial business you know there are designers and we carry so much we you know we do i just want to mention we do like these large boxwoods that we custom do as well as like huge garl and big trees and a lot of you know we can we can bang out so much in such a short time it's like the little elves working back there well clients love it because you know somebody will come in like let's say a golf course country club will come to our clients and say i need twenty garlands twenty nine for garland is right and they'll call and say i know you can't do this and we're like no can you get it this afternoon well haven't done for them we can usually push them out quite quick if we don't have them completed or maybe we'll have to wait two or three days because when your christmas season there's a crunch going on there isn't everybody wants everybody it's all of a sudden they're in the season and that's when they start thinking about it so we're well prepared ahead of time and we have plenty of them in toria plenty of product and we have all our our wonderful crew that just designs and it's magical it's like a really really exciting like the indra the adrenaline everybody coming in and everyone working it's something to experience yeah it is magical and i know again when i go back to scale the scale of the garland is just not what you see in your local you know green house store it's really beautiful large mcniff is it displays so because i know again there's a lot of these big that we have in our areas in princeton in alabama and sometimes people go out and buy holiday decorations and they're small and they just sort of get lost in the scale of these huge homes so when i come into your shop and you have a forty eight inch wreath or a sixty inch reason like wow i want that yeah so it's that's really amazing so but i do i do love coming into the shop during the holidays what do you do with all your furniture when you move things around for the holidays we just started to scale back a little bit we watch in september or in august and as product sells off we watch what our inventory is it's coming in and as we do that then we move things around around do the best we can if not we just purchased another facility for storage because they're running out of space and all that squares about it all that's clear for how much coal is footage do you have were forty thousand square feet forty thousand feet that's amazing and now they plus we drop ship right out of the building too which is nice for a lot of people a lot of designers who want to just put product on their site we carry all the him in two or three which is amazing you don't have to carry it we carry it and you put it on the site and we sell right off of the internet also we have like a lot of times designers of command say we're doing a project in florida can you take care of that absolutely absolutely absolutely and we can you could pick out exactly what you want we box it all up we put it on a pallet and it gets shipped right down to their project you know i worked with a couple of clients in florida and we she had two homes she had a home here in new jersey and her summer home in florida and i worked with emily and we shipped everything to florida and it showed up beautifully and she was thrilled so yeah it doesn't matter what location we're in you can definitely drop ship so emily i know you're going and then that you both are going to another show tell us about the other show that you're going to the next one coming up isn't lanta and  july ok well we'll be going down there and we're we're showing some of our products we'll have our box with there we have a couple of floral and then we're going to also see what's new and exciting to bring into the toilet here so i look forward to seeing all the new stuff so i don't always have to go to north carolina i just come to your show after the show and i see what's all what's new and i love that right because it does give me all the current exciting new items without really travelling so far i'm so busy with my schedule that i don't always get a chance to travel so this makes it really easy for me so thank you both for doing that and then you know what else and you know what's good for the designers to you when you order the product in a lot of times it comes in damaged like that something we handle really comes into us we open it we check it if it's damaged we handle all of that which you handle the delivery as well yeah absolutely it's great and what what would you say is the most an extension of who you are and so you know we talk about design and we talk about what's current but we really need to talk about what's important to us in our home so i'm going to ask you both a personal question and i hope i'm not going to put you both on the spot but what in your home makes you happy everything i know truthfully everything i love i've been lucky enough to work for a dinner and create a displace for many many years now so i've collected my things so somebody told me a designer told me years ago when i was stressing about buying you know a piece of furniture they said just collect your things if you love it this one thing you're going to love everything and that's what i've done pieced it together and i really i love being there i love sitting on the beautiful furniture i love laying in my bedroom and i and i just i love it and you deny what in your home makes you happy i love of course my family that's the big welding course what makes it even better is that when i do bring home a treasure like recently i just got in and kitchen table and i mean i smile every time i see it and it has six orange chairs which are gorgeous restored and chairs but it's wonderful when you see your family sitting around you know this brand new table and they're just enjoying it and that's what life is all about yes you know they have these like like emily said these treasures in your home special things that really took time and you looked for it and somebody like yourself and guided you know guided the client right into making sure that it was to scale and it worked in their home but but that's what i really love i love the unique pieces and just having a warm home that that's inviting i can't stand the p c ego don't place in my home because when i think about how many people we serve dinner on that dining room set i've had it now for three years i do believe in buying really good furniture and having it for a lifetime where i feel like today's young generation they're a throwaway society rules or they want to buy something cheap and throw it away and then buy something again and then you know it's an ever changing lifestyle i feel that like you said emily it's really about finding those treasures that you build and you build and you build on and you say forever because that's where your history is that's where your story is that's when you come home and you come home to yourself a soul scape living is is claiming that we need to do to really come home and go home i love what's around me i love my family i love sharing this beautiful view with friends in family  what homelands and i hope and that's what you're going to get yeah and it is about the beautiful things but it's also about comfort and function and so so scape living is really wants to have that conversation about what's how do we put this all together and it is about the beauty but it's also about how it functions i mean i know i always laugh because you know the archie bunker chair you know that's lashon he would love that chair right because it functioned for statics was was not there so i know even with recliners we've come a long way they don't look like the ugly recliners that they used to look like so design is important but as we go along with our shows our second show is going to be about modernization and home automation i mean do you have an election at home either one of you know one but i'm getting it we just ordered it you just heard when i saw it yeah it's so funny she said so we're going to be talking about home automation and function and so that's why it's important that we have this conversation about beauty and and how you know it's important in our home to really appreciate but also the function in the home and i'm most important we want to talk about resources and so today show we're sharing with the world about creative display in falls and thank you so much  designer is that correct that's correct yeah it's growing up into the trade on a lot of the trade that's why i love it so much because it is just to the trade it's important to have a designer with you to really navigate the store because i do think it's overwhelming if anybody just walks in they really they're just so confused because there's so many beautiful things to look at right and different styles do you does either one of you have a personal style that you can tell us about or know i understand their style right because the last thing i want to do is go in and impose my style of living and so i want to thank you again both because there is so much style in your store in your location that i get so excited every time and you know unfortunately what i want to do is change my style every week and i have a whole new style and a whole no that's not possible but i could still come into the shop and love it and enjoy it and have fun doing everybody else's so thank you both of you this is been so exciting and i hope you enjoyed it we did and thank you again for having to thank you so very and i can't wait to come back into the shower and i hope you all enjoyed our lovely furniture here from creative display we look forward to continuing our conversation here at
