0:00.0	You guys, this is such a fun episode. We sit down with Olivia from Mother's Daughter Design,
0:09.6	the designer who helped me with the Brooklyn space that Kagan and I are renting. And it is just
0:15.0	such a fun episode. We get into Celebrity Interiors. We chat through all of your Q&A. There is just so much about working with a designer
0:22.7	that I think people maybe think it's way more expensive than it is, that it's completely out of reach.
0:28.3	I love Olivia's approach so much. I think it's so beautiful the way that it's all about finding
0:32.8	what you love and like making that come to life versus just overlaying her style on top of your apartment
0:38.3	or your space. Exactly. Yeah, she really just helps you kind of like hone in on what is going
0:43.7	to make your space special because you live in it. And it really tells a story. So it's such a fun

1:32.5	about, as well as the photos from our photo show. Okay. And with that, enjoy the episode.
