Summary

It’s been a while since we’ve all caught up with each other, so we thought it would be great for another trials and triumphs episode! We start off talking about laundry room storage solutions, chinoiserie wall murals, and who of us is in their purple moment. Then, we talk about switching out a queen bed for a twin room, and the decorating that comes along with giving it a total refresh. We chat about colors and textures we are loving right now, and how a tape measure seems to just make everything better.
