“My number one tip to people is just to look for galleries around you, look for art shows around you, look for boutiques around you. Try and find the artist. If you fall in love with art, DM them. Talk to them. Find out the story because that’s what makes art so fantastic is the story behind it. You relate to it with your own story.” 9:39

Purchasing an Existing Home | How to right the wrongs of past owners
We see a lot of homes in all the work we do and in some of the remodels there are some things that you’re just inheriting. When you purchase a home like this, you have to get really good at planning because it’s not inexpensive to redo the various things you want changed, but there’s a lot of architecture and a lot of things you wouldn’t do today, but they did yesterday. So now it’s your turn to make it right and we think the majority of people are likely in this position who are listening to our podcast right now, so listen in as we give our opinions and expertise on what you should do when you inherit architecture.

Making existing architecture yours 41:15
“What do you do when you have custom built-ins in the home you purchased and you don’t have the budget to rip it out and rebuild it? How to repurpose, optimize, camouflage, style, paint? Here’s my dilemma, a built in structure between two pillars that separate the kitchen and family room.” 11:16

Keep or Toss? | Current Trends We Do or Do Not Agree with
We have a fun episode today, which is about finding something and saying if we would keep it or toss it. It might be polarizing and we as your hosts might feel opposite or the same about certain things, but that’s what will help make it fun. Join us as we talk about various items that should be kept or tossed, such as travertine, china hutch, or grasscloth wallpaper.

“I think [travertine] is beautiful in spaces. I do think a modern beach house with travertine, just things that feel really earthy and water could run over them, is so pretty. For myself, I’m not gonna buy any travertine, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s beautiful for myself or another client. If it was in somebody’s home right now, would I have them rip it out? I think it would depend on the style and the tone we’re gonna move into.” 20:45

Customer Reviews
To all the haters… you’re wrong.
I’m a designer and live in Salt Lake City and have lived internationally… to the lady from New York: this show is not for everyone; and neither are you. Suzanne and Jess are awesome, funny and relatable!! Are you mad that you can’t afford something they are talking about?… they design high end homes so what were you expecting?!? They say themselves they cannot afford many of the things they specify. This is the life of an interior designer!!! Also can’t everyone relate to the last minute renovations Suzanne has to do? So funny and how it is for most of us. Well done Alice Lane! I listen to every episode twice and if I don’t agree with every single thing you say I can move on like a normal person and I sleep just fine at night. ❤️🙏
Also vocal fry is so normal… do you listen to npr? The Kardashian’s? Move on. People use the word like a lot in Utah. If you hate it then don’t listen?!?
You have a choice.
Really wanted to love this…
I have to agree with another review, sometimes they come across as “mean girls”. They are very contradictory. They say “do what moves you” but don’t do this because it’s awful…make your home your own and don’t worry about resale, but make sure when you renovate think about the next purchaser.
I would like to listen to a podcast that teaches the basics of interior design, like pros and cons of quarts vs granite, do I have to offset a pattern pillow with a solid? If I go with a pattern curtain, do I go with solid pillows? How to find good antiques and how to decorate with them? Just some examples.
So now we are blocking reviews?
These women are INSUFFERABLE. Watch what you say before you alienate the country. And your designs are boring.
