Summary

It’s all about Trials and Triumphs this week as we talk about power outages and faulty fireplaces, beautiful drapes, a lack of hot water, Liz's recent trip to Paris, and why you should always store your warranties in a safe place. We also talk about new ventures in wallpaper and some of our favorite artist girl crushes. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Triumphs including finally having a fence around the pool - super ready for summer! New ventures in wallpaper, including Anna French’s Thibaut and Peter Dunham. Liz’s trip to Paris was a definite triumph. A trial on a bathroom tile redo. Sometimes, you just have to try and try again. You’re not alone if you’ve ever run a bath and just had four droplets of cold water come out.
