| 0:00.0 | Make it your own. |
| 0:10.0 | Hi, this is Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is Decorating Tips and Tricks. |
| 0:15.6 | Today's episode is clever ways to add character to your home. |
| 0:19.8 | So many homes, freestanding homes, town homes, apartments, |
| 0:23.1 | they don't really come with any character baked in. |
| 0:26.2 | They might be using very basic materials, |
| 0:29.9 | the interior and exterior might not really have a definite personality, |

| 0:37.1 | And there's nothing wrong with |

| 1:16.6 | much detail. But you know, I've told you, Kelly, that we were looking at some houses. And so |
| 1:21.0 | the last couple days, Evie and I went and looked at some houses just to kind of see what's out there |
| 1:27.3 | and see if we were interested |
| 1:28.4 | in moving, if we weren't. And it's very interesting how few houses there are that really have |
| 1:35.2 | nice details. And it really didn't. I looked at a wide range in prices, pretty low to pretty high. |
| 1:42.4 | Yeah, it was a little disappointing. There wasn't a lot really special |
