Welcome to How to Decorate from Ballard Designs, a podcast all about the trials and triumphs of decorating and redecorating your home.

Each week will help you unleash your inner decorator.

I'm Caroline, and I'm on the marketing team.

And I'm Taryn, and I'm a product designer.

And I'm Liz.

I head up the Ballard creative team.

We're your host. Join the expert team at Ballard Designs

for tips, tricks, and tales from interior designers, stylists, and other talents in the design world.

Plus, we'll answer our listener question at the end of each show. So don't forget to send them

to podcast of Ballarddesigns.net. Yes, we love answering them. Now on with the show.

Okay, so today we have a very special 300th episode planned.

Back in our 100th episode, we did something kind of like this, but now we have Liz here and we're kind of going to mix it up.

So we asked for some people to submit questions on our social media on Instagram. And we've got kind of broken it out by topic.

We've got patterns and colors.

We've got layouts.

We've got outdoor questions.

And then we have some wild cards.

And yeah, we haven't prepped answers.

So we're just going to kind of like lightning round, go around, answer all of your questions.

And then I believe we have a couple longer things that maybe came in through email. So yeah, we've got the questions for Instagram

and we're just going to fire away. Starting now? Like right now. I mean, well, I'm going to read the

question aloud first. Are there 300 questions? No.
