I love it!

I love your ideas; they make so much sense! "The order of decor"!

Lamp in the Laundry Room!

This is my new favorite podcast. House Rules episode 4 inspired me to put a lamp in my laundry room. Episode 6 gave me the courage to hang wallpaper all by myself above the laundry room counter. It’s a whole new room! I love how practical each episode is and I can’t wait for the book.

Ugh. The voice is so unnatural

I like the content, but I can’t bear the unnatural way the host speaks. In addition, her voice pitch is too high. It’s very much like a pre-school teacher speaking to her young students. Not good. Just can’t do it.
