The New Yorkers Specalize in Holiday Home Decour! -With Hillary Wallace

25:22Nice. December 1st. wait then right after Thanksgiving pumpkins go to compost right I got a whole schedule yep and then December 1st a Christmas goes up or holiday whatever you want to call it I mean this year it's called Candyland so it's just I can't wait to see it it's so pretty that goes up December 1st and then I'll leave it probably till the second week of January because a lot of people who are I've been gotten a lot of DMs, people asking me to leave it up because they're traveling. People have been asking me too. Because they want to see it. So they're like traveling from out of the country.

26:04I was like, of course. You know, because people know I've gone to your house too and they've asked about you, you know, how long you're - Oh, seriously? They've asked you? Yeah, they've asked me a couple of questions. How long it's, like people want to see Christmas decorations still too. And they've asked me about your house. You know, I want people to, they can see your home on Instagram and how beautiful it is. But through the podcast, I think I asked you when I met you that when we were talking through the window, you know, I think I asked you if it was all three, you know, the entire the entirety of the brownstone was yours, you know, from the first floor up.

26:36And you said, yeah. And I was like, I didn't know that because the people I was with, I said a lot of most of these are just like single family units per floor. Right. You know, and I was just so amazed, like, wow. I was like, how cool is that that you have the entire brownstone floor to ceiling all the way up. And it's such a beautiful brownstone. And like I said, people can see it on Instagram, how gorgeous it is. Well, you can wait till you see it this year. This year, we really used the whole entire townhouse from the top. For Christmas? Oh, yeah. Oh, boy. I mean, the people who've been helping me are amazing.

27:15They're amazing. I mean, we don't even have to talk anymore. We just look at each other in the eyes and we know what we're talking about. Don't you love that? I have the best team in the whole world. And so they were at the very top of our roof. Each string, like, one at a time. One at a time meticulously. And then right before I left, this guy, Kyle, who helped me, was, like, on the edge of my window putting a surprise out, which you'll have to come look at. I was just like, oh my God, please be careful because, you know, as beautiful as we like to make everything, we always like to have a little funny something there to laugh because we always like to have a little something funny.

27:59Well, what I love that really stood out with Halloween this past year, this, you know, a couple of months or so ago, was the eyeball. Yeah. I mean, that was, everybody loved, that was what people were saying, like the house with the huge eyeballs, you know, that was really smart and creative. really, really cool. You know what? So also too, throughout the years, people have asked me, I just comments on my social media when I post your home or someone else's, they say, gosh, do people steal their pumpkins? Do people steal their decorations? And I'm always like, I'm always like, I don't think so.

28:30I don't know. But I did see that you did. One pumpkin was stolen, right? Right. I mean, bad karma. Really knock on wood. Yeah. We never get anything stolen. That's the first time I've had something stolen like that. And I just hope it's in a good place. Yeah. But in general, no. That's really the first time. So how did you know it was gone? Because you - I know everything. You know everything. Exactly. Like when I say I know everything, I mean, I am like - Oh, I believe you. Yeah, definitely. I know if something's been turned. Right. Like my poor kids growing up with me was horrible. Like if they moved something the wrong way, I just know because that's the way my mind works.

29:10But I just know where - You knew, yeah. Yeah. Plus, when they took it, some of the pumpkins fell on the other pumpkin. Plus, it was a face pumpkin. That's what I remember you saying. So, they took a face pumpkin. They took a face pumpkin. They were so impressed with your work that they had to take it, which is not cool. Yeah, it's okay. You know, if they needed it that badly, they could take it. Yeah. Yeah. But, I mean, it's just so amazing. I just love your decorations. And I cannot wait to see your Christmas decorations. It's really fun. So, can we tell our audience the street you're on? Yeah.

29:39Yeah. It's 82nd. Mm-hmm. West 82nd between Amsterdam and Columbus. Yes. You can't miss it. Right. Lots of light. And we made it really pretty and happy. And it's a Candyland theme with a little twist. Some humor. I saw like your gingerbread poster or something. Did you see how cute that was? I love it. What was it saying? It's a gingerbread man who's missing his leg. Yeah. But he was saying something or whatever it was. I was cracking up. I know. It was really cute. I got a lot. It was a nice little teaser. Yeah. I mean, you know, you got to have a sense of humor. And it's ready when, you said?

30:18It'll be ready Friday. Friday. I can't wait. Late. Yes. Text me if you can. Tomorrow. Oh, no. Tomorrow's Friday? Yes. Isn't it? Yes. Yes. Tomorrow's Friday? Tomorrow's Friday. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, the problem is you just keep going and going, and the people who are helping me are just like me. It's never enough. We just want to keep going and going. And like, you know, everything is hand done. So like the Reese we do, you know, we're adding the bells, we're adding the light. You know, it's not like we're walking in a Home Depot and buying it pre-made. So everything we do, we are doing. And everything has our hand on.

30:53I just love it. You know what I actually, what's funny is I sat on your steps and I never get pictures taken of me. So I had a picture because I love your decorations so much. So I sat on your steps and I got a picture taken. It was for my profile picture. It's got the most likes I've ever gotten of any picture because I'm on your beautifully decorated home. You know, it makes me really happy. I've had a lot of nice people leave notes under my doors. We got engaged there. Then our child took their first baby picture there. We've had four Halloweens there together as a family. I mean, I've had this little girl drew me a picture of her with all the pumpkins.

31:37I mean it's it's been really it makes me feel really good like sometimes I'm like this is it I'm not doing it anymore it's like so much time it's just you know blah blah blah and then I get these things and it gives me hope and humanity again when I could give back like if I can give back and do this then I'm like right on man I'm gonna keep doing this that's beautiful so how long from does it take you to come up with the idea, put it down on paper or computer, whatever, and to the final pumpkin being put down, you know what I mean, to the final gingerbread man being put down, you know what I mean?

32:19How long does that process take? What is the process? I don't put anything down on paper. Never have, never will. It's all here. It drives everyone crazy. I mean, when I was doing straight homes, of course I had to put stuff down on paper because I had a whole... staff who needed to see it and my clients. But for this, I, it's all in my head. I drive everyone crazy. And I do a lot of this with my hands, showing people like, this is what we're doing. And now I have a crew that understands me and I change things around a lot, but it's all in my head. So like for what I'm doing this time, I saw one thing that triggered it.

32:54And I said, I know what we're doing. So for me, it's just, I travel a lot or I'm walking down the block and I I see something and it just triggers me and I'm like, I know what we're doing. And that's it. And then I just, you know, I keep going and going and. I love it. It's kind of crazy what goes on upstairs in this head. Just organic. And you're just like, this is what it is. And let's make it happen. Yeah. I love that. And then we'll change things around. And then like last night we started spray painting at like eight o 'clock at night. We're like, we're going to do gingerbread theme. Get out the spray paint.

33:28You know, there's glitter all over my house. The dog's like smoking a cigarette outside. No, I'm kidding. Speaking of your dog, I love your dog. There are mascots. Is it Finn? Finn and Frankie. Finn and Frankie. And they're like the best. Yeah, they're cutest. So they're in all the pictures and they're so cute. Yeah, I was going to say, Jay, if you got to stop by her face. They're really cute. So they're like in everything. What is the name of your Instagram? We're going to put it on the podcast anyway. Yeah, it's Simon Wallace Design. So we're on TikTok, YouTube. Yeah. And it's fun. And you know, if I'm having fun, it's great.

34:02I like doing it because it's fun. I mean, that's why I do it. And you know, my kids were just like, mom, you should get yourself out there. You know, you do a lot of stuff that a lot of people don't know how to do this. And it's easy for you. And we're sick of helping you. And you know, but most of my kids are artists. Like they're both really into my daughters in fashion. So it's fun. So there is a house. First of all, I think the Upper West Side in general has just the vibe of the decorations are really amazing on the Upper West Side. But yours is the pinnacle of the decorations. And there is one, though, also that used to be a couple of streets south or north, I don't know, north, uptown.

34:51And you have these huge cobwebs coming down. And it's not there anymore. And I thought I saw your. Did you ever decorate any other houses on the Upper West Side? I've done stuff from Bedford but not I've done a lot for people inside I wasn't sure if you, there was one they don't do it anymore when I've done offices I just did a really cool office in the city oh nice I can't say the name of the company but it was a very modern office a lot of concrete not very warm so I made it look like kind of a Ralph Lauren Lodge did you put that on Instagram? I saw it, I love it it's really nice we did a little diorama in there because I just thought I'd like a lot of detail in there so we did a little diorama with like ice skating and a little choo choo train that's so amazing I was trying to make it warm and cozy like who doesn't like a choo choo train a choo choo train I do too We just put a train in my house for my husband.

35:58I've never seen a grown man. So excited. He was like, I got a choo-choo train. He was really psyched. I walked by a store in Brooklyn earlier this week, and it was just like a bike shop, but they had a bunch of train paraphernalia, and there was a model train going around in the window, and I just sat and looked at the train for a little bit. See? Yeah. You come over to me. Seriously, come by my house. I'm telling you, my house is like an open door. Like, I mean, we sit outside of my stoop all the time and just hang out and talk to people. Like, I have made friends with like, you'll laugh. There's one little girl I met named Danny.

36:36She's six years old. I love her. Like, she's the smartest, most interesting girl. She comes by and helps me do stuff. Love her. She's like my buddy. I've met the nicest people on my, like, just from doing the decor. Like she actually came over her and her brother on a Saturday and helped me change all the batteries. And just it's really nice. I mean, just think about the, you know, the children you're inspiring with your home and how, you know, they're growing up walking by your house, you know, every year and seeing the decorations of the different holidays. And how amazing is that? You know, what you're contributing to the neighborhood and these children.

37:10Yeah. And their memories. That's I hope, you know, and it's something that's tangible, which I like, you know, versus like looking down on a foot. Look, I'm the biggest offender of all. I love my phone. But I also like the idea of being physical and getting out there and touching stuff and moving around. Like when people say, oh, can I touch the stuff on your stoop? I was like, yeah, touch. Just don't take, but touch. Yeah, don't take that pumpkin. But I love it. I, you know, we do Valentine's, which I love. I got something really cute this year that I'm adding, which will be funny. So we'll be do Valentine's.

37:46We do Easter. Right. I was the Easter bunny this year. Nice. I was like, what the hell am I doing? I was like sitting out there. My husband just walks by. He's like, he always is shaking his head. I was like, stop shaking your head. Yeah. You know. I want to meet him one day. Oh, you'll meet him. He walks by real fast like he doesn't know me. Yeah. I love it. What else did we do? Oh, we do 4th of July. Nice. So you do pretty much. Yeah. Every month almost. Yeah, I mean, the biggest one is obviously. The later in the year, Halloween. Halloween is huge. Oh, my gosh. And Christmas. Yeah. But, oh, sometimes we do St.

38:28Patrick's Day, but it gets too rowdy. People end up sitting on my stoop. Yeah. And it gets pretty rowdy. Yeah. It got a little rowdy one year. The rowdy gangs. Yeah, it was like the gangs of St. Patrick's. um so i think i didn't do it one year because there was like a lot of beer cans on my stoop the next morning that's pretty funny it was actually very funny you know i know you worked for for ralph floren but are there any other um creative influence influences in your life other designers that you've looked to that have really you know that you've looked at and This woman who I worked for in L.A.

39:06named Lori Steichen, she was a huge influence for me in L.A. She's incredible taste. She's got a very romantic, eclectic taste. And she really was a huge influence for me. I love that. You know, I mean, you're inspiring me to be a better designer in some way, shape or form. I don't know what it is, but, you know, I see what you're doing. and I was on your Instagram and I was just, you know, how you get stuck scrolling and watching. And I was just like, gosh, you're inspiring me so much to be better at things, you know, be a better designer or something in my life in some way, you know. You just find what you like.

39:47Yeah, exactly. People get too caught up in it. You just find what you like and it comes together. Well, yeah, exactly. That, you know, that's how I feel what I do, which is really nice. I don't know. I just look in the ears. I'm like, wow, I'm very inspired by you. Oh, thanks. And, you know, I think that's, you know, I'm just kind of thinking out loud what I'm talking to you right now, actually, about. But I mean, you know, the guests are on the podcast. The reason they're here is because they inspire me and I'm sure inspire Jay, too. You know, so that's what it's all about. I loved it. So that's why you're here.

40:21So I appreciate it. I need inspiration in life. And I've really, I've noticed, especially as I've gotten older, I really only round myself around people that inspire me or things that inspire me. I don't want to be around negative energy or things that don't inspire me. Even like watching shows, you got to either inspire me or I got to learn something from it. I mean, like I'm telling you, this little girl, Dani, who I love, she's six years old. She inspires me. Shout out to Dani. I love that. Hey, Dani. No, but I'm serious. Like, I really need to be around that kind of energy because you have one shot at life.

40:59Right. You know, and my kids are going to kill me if they hear this. I always say, you have one shot at life. Yeah. You got to make a great movie. Be the producer, director, and actor of your own movie. I love that. Make a great movie. Yeah. Like, do it. Exactly. And that's what I'm trying to do. And, you know, sometimes I go a little overboard. That's a good thing, though. I mean, I think that's the commonality of the guests that are on the show that I feel too. And that, you know, I mean, you know, the city inspires me. You know, when you follow your passion, that attracts the same type of people that you are.

41:34And there's no space for negativity. Right. And that's what I always say. Yeah. And when I hear people in New York negative about everything, this is that or this is that. I'm like, then leave. I feel the same way. I am so like, like not into your like negativity. Go, go. Well, with social media too, you know, I, since I am a New York City representative, you know, with my social media. I agree. You are. I get a lot of negativity from the haters. I don't. No. Yes. Can you believe it? Why? Then just don't say anything. Well, what I do, I just block them all. I don't even care. I don't care. What's there even to say?

42:10Yeah. That's horrible. Yeah. I mean, it's normal, you know, but I just. But see, people hide behind that. Like, yucky. No, I completely agree. That's just yucky. Like, my new word for that kind of stuff is just yucky. My mom would say, if you have nothing nice to say, just don't say it at all. Yeah, I completely agree. What happened to that, you know? Well, a lot of things happen to that. But don't get me started. That's a whole different podcast. I completely agree. That's funny. You know, this is a random question, Mary. All right, give it to me, baby. Is there one design trend you'd never want to see again?

42:46Is there something that you were just like, ugh, and I hope that never comes back? Because you know how sometimes 80s comes back, 80s styles, which we love. I just remember my grandmother always had her furniture covered with plastic. Oh, good one. I just would go over there and I'd be like, Grandma, why? She's like, I don't want my sofa room. I was like, how's that helpful? Right. And it looks bad. And you stick to it. Yeah. I just, that always just shocked me. You know, I think I had, I remember as a child too, seeing that you stick to it too. It's just. Yeah. I never understood that. You're trying to protect it, but it's not comfortable.

43:24When you look at a room or a building, what's the first thing you notice? What do you feel or you see when you notice when you walk into a room? As a designer. So you're asking me when I walk in a room, what's the first thing I notice? Yes. As a designer. Ooh. I see the overall vibe I don't see one thing nice for me when I walk into a space I see everything as a whole if that makes sense I see a lifestyle you know a lot of people try and they'll buy like things they think if they buy a beautiful piece of art that's expensive or a really expensive piece of furniture it's gonna make make it I don't find that the case at all you could have less expensive furniture, but it comes together.

44:14Yeah. And I've seen that quite a few people. They live in these amazing homes and they have very expensive furniture, but it just does not work. Yep. I agree. So I look at the whole. I like that. I love that. If someone wants to improve their space with just one change, what should they start with? With one change? I usually say a sofa. Nice. I think it's like if it's a sofa Sofas could really change the whole vibe I like a nice I like a nice soft Big plushy sofa How about you Jay? What kind of sofa do you like? I like the L shaped ones Some people like leather The L shaped ones Yeah I like the big ones too Those are nice That like accomplishes a lot What you need I finally just broke down and let my husband get one And it's nice but it's a nice one.

45:07Okay. Yeah. He really wanted a recliner. Oh, I, I like the recliners but I think the like functionality of the L shape because you can like fit like the three people in the middle and like you can have someone on the side. You can like lay on it and like lean over to the side. It's, I don't know, where you can kind of have like a table in the middle and then so you have like more spaces so I, yeah. Yeah, I like those too. I like, I just like, but I like a nice soft almost like a bean baggy type you disappear into and oh i have one you have to come over and try i love that i have i mean i we at my house we have them designed because i'm like a stickler right so we have the like the fill designed what it is like i'm a crazy person he's like i feel like once my sofa i'm having my sofas forever right like i'd rather put spend the time and energy and get the sofa that I have it forever.

46:04Because if you really get a good sofa, you can have it forever. You know, this is just a random question. Okay. I'll try and give you an answer. How often should you, do you clean your sofa? How do you do it? How often do you do it? Like, how does this work? So I do get my furniture clean. Yeah. My house is like, like I have a lot of people in and out of my house. Like a lot of people. And New York City's inside of our home. Yeah. So I, like I said, I have a lot of people. so i have a cleaning crew that comes in it depends how it depends how many people i have coming and going but i have a guest room downstairs that pretty much is occupied 90 of the time with people visiting so it's a cleaning crew that just comes in they do your rugs they do your sofa so i would say at least once a year oh that's oh that's good for me you know like the main areas in the house because it was New York City and people coming in.

46:59I have white chairs in the front of my house, which is probably the smartest thing a person could do. Shoes on or off when you walk in the house. Yeah, me too. But I don't make people do it when I'm having a party because it ruins their outfit. Yeah. Like I'm not that weird. Yeah. You know, like when my daughter would have parties in high school and she'd have like 40 kids over. Yeah. I'd have them take their shoes off and then sometimes all time together because I thought it would be funny. Yeah. That is funny. That is hilarious. But yeah, you know, when it snows, shoes off. But I'm not like that person.

47:31If someone doesn't want to take them off, I don't want to make them uncomfortable. I agree. You know, but I can't remember before I moved here from Orlando if I took my shoes off. No, I bet you didn't. You know, but now that I moved to New York City, always right when I walk in the door, because I'm thinking of what I'm, I walk so much in New York City and the New York City streets. So I just don't want. California, you don't take, like when I'm in LA, No one takes their shoes off. Yeah, I don't think I did because I don't remember that. Because you don't walk. There you go. You go in, out, in, out of a car.

47:58Yeah. But New York, it's kind of nice. I guess, you know, when I go back home to Florida, I do take my shoes off now. Because you're accustomed to it. Exactly. So I don't, that's right, because I don't really think of seeing my parents' shoes outside. Like I do. I also put slippers in the front of our house. Oh, that's nice. I have little slippers everywhere for people. And it's just good look. I haven't been like every size. I don't know. That's classy too, you know. Oh yeah, you know. I need to start putting slippers by the front door. It's kind of a nice touch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree. So Jay, do you have any questions too?

48:31Oh, I have one question. Have you been to Blaze in like Long Island or Westchester? The Jackaliner Festival? Oh, Blaze. Yes. Yeah. Oh my God. Yes. I've been to Blaze. I'm not sure you would love it. I love Blaze. Oh yes. I've been to Blaze. And I've been to Sleepy Hollow Yeah I've done that Love Sleepy Hollow Oh my god And they have the scariest Scariest haunted house ever Have you been?

I thought you looked familiar. That's why you're on the podcast. Holy crap. You're my sister. Hi. It's amazing. Okay. No, it's scary. It's worth going. In Sleepy Hollow? Yes. Okay. Like, we used to, I was like the kind of parent I brought my kids to everything like that. So we'd spend the weekend in Sleepy Hollow. Oh, cool. So yes, I have been to Blake. I've been to all that stuff. And we'd make them go to the church event where he comes and reads and then the headless horseman shows up.

55:06Right. And I just I feel like New York just fills my lungs and makes me really feel like I could live. Yeah, completely agree. Yeah. And I really mean it. Like I just, you know, I love it. Yeah, I do, too. That's a great answer. Thank you for that. I love it. Love it. Love it. You're welcome. Thank you for joining us today for this week's episode of the New Yorkers podcast.
