Phonies

It’s been a minute, but we’re BACK. This week Mari had the joy of speaking with Liz Baumtraut (Maria Gnoza), the owner of Liz’s Hardware Store (essentials only) and an expert on all things hardware. They chat about Liz's humble beginnings in the woods, opening a wood plank stand and then eventually opening her customer-focused hardware store! She spills the beans on her three employees, their unique paint sampling techniques in customer’s homes and why she’ll never sell drills in her store. They dissect the rivalry Liz has with Lizzie’s Hardware Store down the street from her and Mari gets riled up… Plus, Mari learns the secrets behind naming paint colors! Hardware is art, never forget it.
