00:00 Hey, the holiday season is well underway,
00:01 but is also, is your home,
00:04 but is your home ready for all the festivities
00:06 that are going on?
00:07 Well, I talked with designer Briggen Jane
00:10 about how to spruce up your home for the holidays.
00:12 Good morning, Briggen, how are you doing?
00:18 - Good morning.
00:19 - So, okay, listen, you know what?
00:22 It's a busy time of year.
00:23 We know that we gotta make sure we stay calm
00:26 and make sure we are shopping the right way
00:28 when it comes to those people that we're looking
00:30 to take care of the family.
00:31 That might be a little hard, but are very,
00:33 how can we say, crafty in different ways.
00:37 So what do you have for us to make sure we're staying calm
00:40 and of course, shopping the right way?
00:42 - You know, busy is an understatement.
00:46 This year feels a little crazy.
00:48 And so one of the things is just streamlining your errands,
00:50 making sure you have one place to go during the holidays
00:53 where you can pick up gifts, needs for your home,
00:56 and also just the things you need
00:58 to put up your decorations.
00:59 And for me, that place is Lowe's.
01:02 - I like that.
01:03 Okay, you know what, we're gonna be hosting,
01:04 so give us some top hosting ideas for us
01:07 to make sure we are hosting the right way.
01:10 - You know, it's always about having those extra things
01:12 to support our friends and family
01:15 and all the extra love and people that come into our home.
01:18 Holidays are hard on homes,
01:19 so make sure you have extra wine fridges
01:22 and things around that are gonna make your life easier
01:25 during the holidays.
01:27 And I love to just sort of lean
01:29 into that monochromatic color theme.
01:32 If you're feeling a little chaotic in your mind,
01:34 it's a great way to just simplify the decorations
01:37 and only remember like the color green.
01:39 It's also very chic.
01:41 - I like that, I like that.
01:42 All right, as we know,
01:44 some people skip Thanksgiving gatherings
01:46 because they want to have, of course,
01:48 the holiday gathering of Christmas time
01:50 or different things they celebrate,
01:51 and it's gonna be filled with people.
01:53 So how do we make sure we're not busting at the seams
01:56 and accommodating everyone?
01:57 - Well, what's amazing about Arizona
02:00 and where I live in Los Angeles
02:01 is we can entertain year round.
02:04 It's just about picking up that extra patio heater
02:06 for those chilly nights
02:08 and creating the right environment with decor.
02:11 We went really large with our decor this year,
02:14 and I'm loving inflatables, this fun holiday snowman.
02:17 They kind of set the stage to your outdoor space
02:20 and allow you to really just open up your home
02:23 quite physically to make space for everybody in your life
02:27 at this time of year.
02:29 - I like that.
02:30 How many snowmen's are we allowed to have in our backyard?
02:32 (laughing)
02:34 - Hey, if you can make it good,
02:36 scale is fun to play with,
02:39 and as many as make you happy.
02:40 - 'Cause I like that snowman.
02:42 I might be going in the backyard.
02:43 You know, also too, we go to, of course, people's house,
02:46 and we wanna make sure we bring the right gifts
02:48 for maybe the host or even if we're a guest coming to visit.
02:52 What do you recommend?
02:54 - Few things everybody needs.
02:56 Always a heated blanket during the holidays,
02:59 great gift for anyone.
03:01 Our phones are constantly running out of charge
03:04 with all this bustle going on,
03:06 so an extra external charger makes a great gift,
03:09 and it's the perfect size for a stocking stuffer.
03:13 And when in doubt, what I love about Lowe's
03:15 is there's always those gift cards there,
03:17 and gaming gift cards for my kids,
03:20 having them ready on hand for any kids
03:22 that happen to come over and have gifts for me
03:25 that I might've forgotten,
03:26 I love to stock up on those this time of year.
03:29 - Oh, that's perfect.
03:30 And I have to tell you, every time I step into a Lowe's,
03:32 I become like a handyman, like a crafty guy,
03:34 and I just gotta go and build something,
03:36 which I love, which is great.
03:38 - And it's fun 'cause they have all the holiday decor,
03:42 but they have the stuff to hang the holiday decor too,
03:44 which is just another way to simplify your life
03:47 at this crazy moment that is called the holidays.
03:50 - There it is, I like this, taking the stress off us.
03:52 So where can we find more information?
03:55 - Definitely head to Lowes.com,
03:57 and part of what I love is the inspiration
03:59 that I'm getting from their 25 days of deals.
04:02 Those aren't just on holiday items,
04:03 those are everyday items.
04:05 Don't forget to think about picking yourself up
04:07 a gift this year.
04:09 You know, it is the lowest prices
04:11 that they've seen all year.
04:13 We might be putting off some home improvement projects,
04:16 we're demanding a lot from our homes right now.
04:19 So go on there, be inspired, and have fun.
04:22 - I like it.
04:23 Regan, thank you very much for joining us.
04:25 - Thank you.
