Let’s Talk Tariffs  (Yes, Really… It Matters…)

Hi Friends,

Is it just me, or is this the fastest summer on record? Somehow it’s August, and I still feel like it should be June!

This month, I want to shift gears and talk about something a little less glamorous but incredibly important—tariffs. I know, not exactly cocktail-party material, but if you’re planning a home project or thinking about updating your space, this is something you’ll want to know about

So, what exactly are tariffs—and how do they affect you?

Tariffs are taxes on imported goods, and they’ve been fluctuating like crazy. Even when you buy something labeled “Made in the USA,” there may still be foreign components involved—like a spring from Asia in your American-made sofa or Italian embroidery on your favorite fabric.

These small details can impact pricing, timing, and availability—even for the most trusted products and vendors.

Here’s how I help you navigate it all:

We ask the right questions:
– Is the item 100% U.S.-made, or partially imported?
– Is it in stock or custom?

– How long are current prices guaranteed?
– Will we know about tariff costs upfront?
– Can we make a change if needed due to tariff charges?

We work closely with trusted vendors who offer transparency and fair solutions—even absorbing some of the cost when possible.

We encourage clients to order sooner rather than later. Prices rarely go down, and supply chain delays may become an issue.

My best advice? Don’t wait.

If you’ve fallen in love with a tile, rug, or sectional—let’s secure it now. Prices rarely go down, and lead times aren’t getting shorter.

Let’s make your next project not just beautiful, but smooth, and stress-free.
