Summary
We've probably all got dual purpose rooms like a mudroom-slash-laundry room, a breakfast-nook-slash-homework-spot, or the ol' guest-room-slash-office. So today we're sharing the key to making one space actually work in multiple ways - instead of feeling like it does one thing waaay better than the other. We also chat about a recent attic clutter revelation, and John shares a negotiation technique so covert you might not even know you're doing it. He also gets a tool he has daydreamed about for years and Sherry's love of all things woo-woo leads her to try some unusual accessories that claim to help with sleep, allergies, and even happiness.
