Customer Reviews
The Dukes of Stout-Hazard
Roger and Chris are a refreshing take on home decor, design, and what to be aware of as a consumer. This podcast is a must listen for those interested in comfort and style.
❤️ your space - don’t follow the trends!
There are designers giving pointers that are snarky (that can be fun) and over-the-top designers without a care for expense or quality. But aren’t we all tired of being sold to?!
Roger+Chris are so much better! These guys are funny, smart, interesting, and genuine! They don’t follow design trends, they care about quality and comfort in your home, and they explain what and why - clearly.
FOLLOW! ;)
they shoot straight from the hip!
I love these guys! They are not afraid to say what they think - and that is so refreshing! They also have good practical solutions to design problems and a great cheeky sense of humor. I love when design folks don’t take things so seriously! Design is fun and so are these fellas - stream with confidence!
