Hello and welcome to the Great Indoors. The podcast which reveals everything you ever

0:18.0

need to know about interiors and explains how to make it all really work for you in your

0:22.5

home. I'm Kate Watson-Smith and I'm Safely Robinson. And as you may have noticed, we've

0:28.2

done a bit of moving the furniture around here on the podcast. We've had a bit of a re-styled

0:33.8

to the format. And we thought it would be fun to have the occasional episode dedicated

0:40.3

entirely to you, our lovely listeners, in our style surgery. So we get so many juicy

0:47.0

questions from you lovely, lovely lot. We just thought, well, let's get stuck in.

1:49.4

It's arriving soon and I'm excited and a bit nervous. So today I've been sugar-soaping

1:54.7

my walls and imagining my family's reaction. Haven't felt so interior-inspired for ages.

2:02.0

And if we hated, I can always paint over it. Brilliant. I mean, that's the ultimate

2:06.6

influence. No test-aport, no paint chart. She's just taking on a podcast recommendation.

2:14.5

And that is a hot. Remember, it's a hot juicy magenta, fuchsia, lipstick, pink. I cannot
