| 0:00.0 | If you don't plan, you don't do. |
| 0:11.2 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:12.3 | We really hope you're enjoying this week leading up to Christmas and New Year. |
| 0:16.0 | I hope you're taking some time for yourself to really relax and enjoy and get swept up with all the good stuff |
| 0:22.8 | that is happening this season. Now let's get on with our 20 steps to an expertly decorated home. |
| 0:31.6 | And we have a lot to cover today, Kelly. We do. And we cannot emphasize the importance of making a plan, whether you're |
| 0:39.4 | decorating or redecorating. And we're probably going to run through some of these things fairly |
| 0:43.7 | quickly so we can get all of our ideas and steps in for you in one episode. And then if we feel like |
| 0:50.4 | other items on the list need more attention, we can always break it down into different |
| 0:55.3 | episodes. You're going to get 20 steps of how to do a decorating plan in the episode today. So if |

| 1:22.9 | house as if you'd never seen your house before and try to see it like a visitor sees your house that's |
| 1:29.3 | never seen it before. So walk through and kind of notice things and look at things that you |
| 1:34.0 | might not have even paid attention to before. Exactly. And number two step is take photos of each |
| 1:41.6 | room. Now that was Anita's bright light. Everybody was like, |
| 1:47.7 | that's the best idea. Honestly, I think that will hold true as like the tip of all time. |
| 1:52.9 | Because when you start taking photos of each room, you definitely see things that you don't see. |
| 1:57.8 | And so if you're trying to have fresh eyes, you might not have fresh eyes |
| 2:01.5 | unless you're looking at the room in a photo. Well, that's right. And the photo doesn't lie. |
