All sorts of celebrities allow these two into their homes and that’s when it gets interesting.
Almost overnight, their series became an instant hit on Netflix.
Even off-screen, these two keep busy.
“It’s wild.
We’ll never get over it.
We’ll never get over any of this, honestly,” Teplin toldPeople.
So, who exactly are these successful ladies?
This is the untold truth of Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin from “The Home Edit.”
From agreeting card companyto helping brides decide on their wedding invitations, nothing seemed to be working for Teplin.
Luckily, Shearer’s husband had moved their family to Nashville around the same time, too.
She was all about organization, but no business could see the potential in her yet.
“I actually applied to work for an organizing company in Nashville, and they turned me down!”
Shearer admitted on theTamron Hall Show.
At that point, she decided she needed to start something herself.
As soon as the two met, seemingly serendipitously, they instantly decided to start The Home Edit together.
After all, they felt that they really had nothing to lose.
However, this is one idea that obviously didn’t fail.
The two built their organizing business the very same day they met in 2015.
Their mutual friend thought they would be the perfect business partners.
After meeting up for a meal, the two realized they had an instant connection.
Creating a business together seemed like the natural next step.
“We never once asked each other if we wanted to work together,” Shearerexplained.
“But after four hours, we got up as business partners.”
From there, their business began to truly take off.
Eventually, they found themselves with a three-month wait list of clients, according toThe Tennessean.
“That really did help launches with celebrity and non-celebrity clients.”
However, it’s actually not their first TV show.
Funny enough, it was, honestly, by complete accident that they ever ended up on TV.
Two years beforehand, both women were tasked with organizing supermodel Molly Sims' home.
I think this is a show,'" Shearer explained toEntertainment Weekly.
She even graduated from the iconicParsons School of Design.
Coming from the world of fashion heavily influenced Shearer’s way of organizing, too.
Joanna Teplin, on the other hand, has a much different background.
Aftergraduating with her degree in film, she began working with something completely different greeting cards and invitations.
“Clea brings the form, and I bring the function.
It’s a perfect balance.”
However, it wasn’t an easy accomplishment.
Many fans may not know that she was also the one who took the photos in the book.
While working on putting together the images, Shearer had the perfect person to learn from.
Teplin even admitted on theirwebsitethat just “thinking about flying” stresses her out.
Now, these two are required to fly all over the country for their booming business.
“We quickly realized that we had to get over our fear of flying,” Shearer toldEntertainment Weekly.
For being professional organizers, Teplin hates having to pack her suitcase.
We’d love to have our cabinets color-coordinated, too, you know.
For that price, you get two organizers, who may or may not be Shearer and Teplin themselves.
Even after acquiring their own TV show and becoming household names, the two haven’t changed their prices.
According to theNashville Business Journal, their costs have stayed the same since they first opened their business.
“And cleaning of course rises to the top.
It’s the cousin of organizing.”
Creating their own line of products had to be pleasing to the eye, too.
Three months later, they got the opportunity totour the entire setof the show.
Less than a year after that, they found themselves inside actorDan Levy’s house.
The actor tasked them with helping him completely rearrange his new home.
Shearer lateradmittedthat it was “the highlight of my week.”
Yet, the two always turn to hanging out with each other during their personal time, too.
And when they fly home, their friendship definitely doesn’t end.
In fact, their families spend every singleNew Year’s Evetogether, they toldGarden & Gun.
Yet, they had an even more famous client come to them in 2021 Barbie, herself.
Mattel madeBarbie dollsof the two of them, too, and they even included Teplin’s recognizable headband.
Talk about #goals.
“Our kids officially think we are the coolest moms,” they later wrote on theirwebsite.
“just forward all mail to our new Barbie Dreamhouse,” they wrote.
“yo and thank you.”
“Pantries,” Joanna Teplin and Clea Shearer admitted without any hesitation to92nd Street Y.
However, this specific space which the team eventermsthe “black diamond of organizing” gets them super excited.
“It’s so fun,” Shearersaid.
“I mean, we’re weird.”
Of course, perfecting a pantry comes with a lot of added perks.
Who wouldn’t want to spend their workday surrounded by snacks?
“An [organized] space is an [organized] head, they’re really related.”
And it all makes sense.
Multiplescientific studieshave even proved this to be true.
“Organization can help save time, money, and ultimately, your sanity.”
It’s the little things in life.
