Summary
The perks of downsizing continue to show themselves, including a recent realization we had while shopping for curtains and blinds. It was a pretty dramatic contrast of how shopping for this house is different than our previous ones, and it highlighted some exciting freedoms that come along with that. We also take a look at how pandemics of the past have shaped the way our homes look today, including the origin of things like powder rooms, white kitchens, and higher bed frames. Plus, what we really think of our fancy new Frame TV - and can your birthday really help you pick the right plants?

| 0:38.2 | surprised that the furniture we moved down here for the most part fit very well and naturally |
| 0:43.8 | into our new home. |
| 0:45.0 | Yeah, it is kind of amazing to say we shoved a bunch of stuff in the pod. |
| 0:48.1 | I mean, we did have measurements for rooms and we did have, you know, an idea of what we're |
