Proper scale will make your room feel right. 04:24 What is scale and how is it applied? 12:01 Basic Rules of Scale 21:55 Lamp Sizes 23:49 Furniture Sizes 30:37 How to tell if something is too small “There is a feeling when you look at a room and if it feels good, it’s likely that the scale is a massive piece of that.” 07:02

Hi, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the show. I’m listening to this over in the UK and having just listened to your murals episode part one, now know how to rate and review!! So thank you for this. I love listening each week. Currently on a very long term project of updating our home and your podcast reminded me to slow down, not to panic into decisions just to get it done and enjoy the journey. Love all the tips and insights. So, thank you. Look forward to listening to more!
Superb

I so enjoy this podcast. I live in England, but due in the US in October and hoping to plan a trip to Utah for one reason only - to go to Alice Lane. I also love the rapport (and as the Brits say, banter) between Jess, Suz and Cori, it’s very funny. Don’t stop please!
I wish I’d found you years ago!

ooobedook

How I love listening to all three of you on this amazing podcast! I live in a small village about 30 miles north of London, England, in a 360 year old home. The rooms are small in comparison to the homes you mention and, sadly, we have no walk in closets or pantries in this house! I love how generous you are sharing your wealth of knowledge and experiences and I have now learned that I have committed several serious design crimes, the worst of which, sorry Sue Hall, is the ceramic wood floor tile in the bathroom!! Gasp! I am looking forward to installing a new kitchen shortly and making all our rooms tell our own story and be authentic to the way we live and who we are. I’m no longer afraid of making bold choices as I know that if my family and I love them, they’ll never go out of style. So thank you Jessica, Suzanne and Cory, keep up the good work, you have a lifelong listener and fan here. Samantha
Wow wow wow!

I have listened to nothing else for what seems like 3 months, and dread getting to the last episode! Living in England, it’s inspiring to listen to your huge range of ideas and your openness about design challenges :) I’ve learnt so much, and as we are half way through building our own house and barn your insights have changed many parts of our design inside and out. I admire your achievements, hope one day you’ll ship outside the US and have your own Netflix/Amazon too. Thank you for your constancy.
