Summary

Welcome back to another Trials & Triumphs episode! Last time Caroline shared with us that lightning struck her house and did some damage. She took the opportunity to make some additional upgrades while doing those repairs. The Schwartz House is nearly finished and Taryn is very happy with her wallpaper choices; but not so happy with the broken appliances. Liz has no trials OR triumphs to report, but this episode got her thinking about what she wants to do next in her house. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Turning lemons into lemonade, Caroline took the opportunity to add a medicine cabinet after a lightning strike destroyed part of her house. Caroline’s medicine cabinet addition led her to add some other design elements to both her primary bathroom and powder room. Caroline took advantage of the Ballard clearance sale and found a life-changing new way to dry clothes. The good news is the last big appliances arrived in The Schwartz House, bad news is they aren’t working. The pool is just about ready in The Schwartz House. Taryn is extremely happy about the wallpaper that has gone up; it all came together! Why is Taryn waiting on the wallpaper for the dining room? We are all frustrated with the way wallpaper is sold; why can’t there be a standard?! Caroline’s kids are happy because her cooktop has been replaced and she can make pasta again. Liz feels inspired to look at her laundry room and consider some wallpaper in other parts of her home. Listeners – we appreciate all of your feedback, questions, and dilemmas! Now send us your wallpaper adventures and photos so we can take a peek! Mentioned in This Episode: Corday Accordion Drying Rack Beadboard Drying Rack Mural Wallpaper The Schwartz House
