Customer Reviews
My new fave!
I love this podcast! I love how she mixes our daily life and emotions with decor. Such good perspectives. Thank you!
Priceless Advice
I wish this had been produced before we did a remodel in 2020. I spent so much of the 9 months (original estimate 3 months!) being furious about all the “screw-ups.” Though I felt like I was being proactive at the time, this podcast gave me so many great ideas of how I could have handled it better. Though my husband says “never again” regarding renovation, I’m still hopeful that if the need arises, I have a wonderful resource for surviving it better!! Thanks, Kricia and Stasia!!!
Pure gold!
I know Kricia on a personal and professional basis. She has an amazing gift for teaching! I have been a student of hers in her design course aimed at teaching women physicians interior design. She has been the most amazing teacher and mentor and I have grown so much in my design skills through her course. She has also helped me be more confident in my choices and believe in my designer abilities. She is such a talent and I am so excited for this podcast and all the possibilities! She has so much knowledge to share and people are going to be blown
Away by how much they learn and take away from her content. This episode was fantastic! I think a log can be applied to everyday life and all the different types of conflicts we encounter. Can’t wait for the next episode!
