Welcome to Mr. Thread, thanks for being here! Every week, I cut through the online noise to bring you the interior design news, market signals, and industry intel that actually matters to your business. I hope you enjoy the read!
Issue #00006 : December 25th, 2025
Happy Thursday and Merry Christmas, readers.
This quiet news week offers a chance to thank you, our founding subscribers. You are giving our first newsletters a shot, and I’m grateful. There’s much more ahead.
I’m often accused of being an eternal optimist, but this time I feel off-the-charts good about 2026. If mortgage rates drop further and thaw the housing market, if stocks keep climbing, if consumer spending stays positive—we’ll have the most favorable conditions our industry has seen in years. Add tariff clarity (less insanity) and controlled inflation, and 2026 could be the start of a well-earned golden age for our beloved industry.
But even if those dominoes don’t fall, massive opportunity is being created. No algorithm can replicate what we do, whether painting fabric, crafting furniture, or curating soulful interiors. AI can’t touch that.
But AI will transform how we work and open up massive opportunity to build businesses and create wealth. Smarter distribution, better project management, visualizations that create value before breaking ground—these tools will create massive revenue for businesses that adapt first.
Happy New Year! Let’s make this one the best one ever.
