Summary

Summer is in full swing with heat waves and road construction, so time for a fun share session with Trials & Triumphs! Taryn shares her progress on the dining room mural she's been planning for years, as well as her ongoing search for the perfect drapes. Liz installed a new fence but uncovered more than expected in her yard - finding a clever way to remedy the situation. Caroline has been visiting other designers' homes for our new House Tours series, and drawing inspiration along the way. We also chat about diffusers, lampshades, and essential oils while sharing the (sometimes humorous) realities of maintaining a home during these busy summer months.
