While others think they’re great and use them all the time.  So which is it? And if you choose to use fake plants how can you make them look real?  Are fake plants great or are they gross?  Keep listening to find out.

Approachable, actionable advice!

I love Sally’s approachable advice for navigating design challenges we all face. She’s refreshingly down to earth, too!

So relevant!

We hired Sally a couple years ago to help design a kitchen/first floor refresh. After 7 years of looking at wall color we disliked and getting tired of so many darker things in our house, we knew we weren’t going anywhere without help. Sally was tremendous in helping us choose a color palette and taking care of the contractor issues as we never knew there is a process for who does what first and how to project length of time for each step.
After following her podcasts, I was so thankful for her insight on how to encourage elderly parents to organize or get rid of emotional items in the house. I even put on my “Sally hat” and brought my mom to Home Goods to buy some bright neutrals that complemented what she had in one room. I was also able to help my siblings who live near my mom (they are both in their 60s now!) continue to help her sort through things and think a little differently about how to stay organized!

Love your podcast!

Your design podcast is wonderful. Cant wait to listen to all of your shows.

I learned so much already- you have great tips on how to design investments properties, which is of particular interest to me.

If you can create a design show on tips of how to save money updating a rental property- I would be most interested. How to get higher rent making the rental nicer without breaking the bank.

Thank you!
