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, I am very excited about today's episode because this is something that we have talked about on many different episodes, but we kind of have talked about it in little spurts, I suppose.

And so I'm excited to get a full recap from you, Taryn.

We are talking all about your house project.

One year later, sort of a recap.

And so we are going to talk about what you did for your project, things you are happy you chose, maybe things you wish you'd done differently.

And just all the learnings of building a

house, you know, from the ground up so that anyone that is listening, any of our listeners

who are taking on a big project, can listen to this episode and just kind of get from your

perspective, what surprised you about building a house, you know, what you learned, and maybe learn a little

something for their own project. So I hope so, because I don't plan to do it again,

and I felt like I learned some things, but I can't apply it. So hopefully maybe it's a wealth,

wealth of knowledge. We'll see. It's probably just me complaining.
