Summary

Today we are excited to be starting something new! Over the years we’ve heard from those of you who love our Trials & Triumphs. And those who… don’t. So we have decided to introduce a series of episodes that will only include our Trials & Triumph, as well as episodes that will only include interviews with our guests. This empowers you, the listener, to choose to listen to what you want; either or both formats. We value your feedback, so please let us know what you think! What You’ll Hear on This Episode: What outdoor projects Caroline has been doing; some inspired by our episode with Carmen Johnston and her faux boxwood planter tutorial. Caroline has revamped her outdoor dining table with succulents and also repainted her front door… again. Apparently, Taryn, Caroline, and Liz all have interesting color choices – especially when it comes to green. How Caroline’s roses from Antique Rose Emporium are doing and how she inspired Taryn to do her own. Liz has hired an architect to remodel her kitchen and what the previous owners left behind. Can Liz give us a sneak peek into her plans and color scheme ideas for the kitchen? Beige and taupe are back! Samplize peel & stick is a great way to try different paint samples; see Taryn’s Secret Garden swatch here. Inspired by our episode with Gail Davis. Liz was able to choose a peel & stick wallpaper. Find out what her hack is applying it. Like Caroline, Liz has also been doing a lot of gardening. And she might have a problem… Taryn has given her 60 Day Notice on her rental; but will her house be livable? The Schwartz House suddenly has a lot going on; from doors to power lines and more. Taryn has decided to make her own wallpaper, inspired by a look she saw from designer Danielle Rollins. To make big statements with her lighting, Taryn chose the Talia Chandelier and Bodhi Dome Pendant. How cabinet colors caused a domino effect in Taryn’s wall paint colors.
