>> Tati: THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER
AND, LET’S FACE IT, THERE’S A
LITTLE BIT OF A SLUMP IN OUR
MOOD AFTER WE PUT AWAY THE
HOLIDAY DECORATIONS AND START
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL LIFE,
ESPECIALLY SINCE WE’RE SPENDING
MOST OF OUR TIME AT HOMEWORKING,
LEARNING REMOTELY, AND SO MUCH
MORE.
TO HELP MAKE OUR HOMES COMFY AND
COZY WHILE WE CONTINUE TO HUNKER
DOWN IS MARTIN FROM VINTAGE
EASTERN MARKET.
WELCOME TO "LIVE IN THE D"!
>> GOOD MORNING, TATI, HOW ARE
YOU?
>> Tati: WE’RE GREAT.
YOU’VE GOT SOME DOABLE
SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE CAN MAKE
OUR HOMES COMFY AND STYLISH ALL
WHILE SHOPPING LOCAL.
LET’S START WITH THE LIGHTING.
WHY IS LIGHTING IMPORTANT AND
HOW DOES IT SET THE TONE AT
HOME?
>> SO, TATI, SOMETHING NEAR AND
DEAR TO MY HEART IS MENTAL
HEALTH.
I’M A VETERAN.
MIND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH.
AND ONE OF THE WAYS TO COMBAT
SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER IS
TO HAVE A WELL-LIT HOME.
OPEN THE WINDOWS AND LET THE
NATURAL LIGHT IN OR USE SOME OF
THE LIGHTING THAT’S ONSCREEN
RIGHT NOW.
GREAT TO DECORATE THE BASEMENT
OR MAN CAVE OR EVEN YOUR LIVING
ROOM.
>> Tati: ABSOLUTELY.
>> GOOD WAY TO COMBAT SEASONAL
AFFECTIVE DISORDER.
>> Tati: AND YOU DO IT WITH
STYLE STATEMENT.
YOU SAID WE SHOULD MAKE THE
LITTLE THINGS SPECIAL.
WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
>> RIGHT, SO LITTLE THINGS SUCH
AS SETTING THE TABLE.
MY MOM USED TO HAVE THE FANCY
DINNER WEAR IN CASE THE
PRESIDENT NEVER VISITED, LOL.
AND BREAK IT OUT AND USE IT NOW
AND THEN.
MAKE SOME MEMORIES TO WARM OUR
SOUL AND THINK OF THIS TROUBLING
TIME IN AT LEAST SOME GOOD
LIGHT, ADD STYLE TO THE TABLE
USING THIS TURQUOISE TABLEWARE,
IT’S GREAT!
>> Tati: AND YOU SAY YOU SHOULD
TREAT YOURSELF.
HOW DOES RETAIL THERAPY HELP?
>> SO WHAT IT HELPS BREAK UP THE
MONOTONY.
AND WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME
BUYING FROM BIG BOX RETAILERS
ONLINE.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
FINDING ITS SAFE TO VENTURE OUT
EVERY NOW AND THEN, SMALL
BUSINESSES LIKE OURS, AND THE
REST OF EASTERN MARKET, TAKING
ALL THE PRECAUTIONS WE NEED TO,
CLEANING THINGS AND MAKING SURE
WE ENFORCE MASK WEARING SO YOU
FEEL COMFORTABLE, SO COME OUT
AND PROMOTE SMALL BUSINESS IN
YOUR COMMUNITY.
>> Tati: AND THIS IS WHAT YOU
GUYS ARE REALLY GOOD AT.
WHAT IF FOLKS NEED HELP OR
DESIGN INSPIRATION WHILE
SHOPPING.
HOW CAN YOU HELP OUT WITH THAT?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A VARIETY OF
ITEMS AT YOUR PLACE.
>> IT’S ALMOST OVERWHELMING.
SOME PEOPLE DESCRIBE IT AS.
WHAT YOU’LL GET IS MY WARM FACE
SMILING BEHIND A MASK AND ASKING
WHAT WAY I CAN HELP YOU.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO REALLY
REDESIGN SOMETHING IN YOUR HOME
AND LOOKING FOR A SECONDHAND
WELL CURATED GOODS, WE’LL BRING
PICTURES OF WHAT YOU HAVE OF
YOUR HOUSE ALREADY, AND ANY ONE
OF OUR 26 VENDORS WOULD BE HAPPY
TO ENGAGE YOU AND TALK ABOUT
FINDING SOMETHING THAT WILL BE
SUITED FOR YOUR NEEDS.
>> Tati: ALL RIGHT, HELPING YOU
OUT IS SUCH A BIG THING.
TALK TO US ABOUT THE EASTERN
MARKET DISTRICT AND SHOPPING

YOU, AS WELL.

HOW TO FIND YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA

THINGS HE’S COMING DOWN TO CHECK
