| 0:10.4 | Hi, I'm Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is decorating tips and tricks. |
| 0:15.9 | Today's episode is How to Decorate a Bookcase, and we have an exciting interview coming up. |
| 0:21.4 | Anita is absolutely right. Today is an extra special episode because not only are Anita and I |
| 0:27.3 | divulging our top tips and ideas for designing and styling your bookcases or shelves, |
| 0:32.8 | but we'll also be sharing our very spirited chat with the host of the book club girl podcast tavia and |
| 0:40.9 | bianca from the book club girl share their favorite design books with us and we dish on all things |
