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 a 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. We have another episode today, Trials and Triumphs.

And I was thinking recently, if we have any new listeners, they might be very confused as to what Trials and Triumphs is.

So for anyone that is new around here, when we first started the show in 2016, we did a little, like 15 minutes, although it's sometimes

dragged on past that of trials and triumphs. I don't know what you're talking about the beginning of each

episodes. We'd have trials and triumphs. We'd do an interview and then we'd have the decorating dilemma at the

end. And we would get feedback from people that said, I really hate trials and triumphs,

vehemently hate trials and triumphs. I just want to skip it. It's boring. I just skip to the interview.

So then sometimes we would, we would skip it like if, you know, we didn't have anything to talk about.

And then we would get emails from people that said, I miss trials and triumphs. It's my favorite

thing. Please bring it back.
