| 0:11.8 | I'm Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is Decorating Tips and Tricks, |
| 0:16.6 | episode 425, our interview with Amy Howard. |
| 0:27.5 | Amy started out as an interior designer and then decided she was going to move to Italy to apprenticed with some expert furniture artisans and |
| 0:34.9 | learn all these wonderful finishes there. |
| 0:41.8 | And then when she came back to the U.S., she opened up her own business, |
