| 0:00.0 | Feeling blue today? |
| 0:10.0 | Hi, it's Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkness and this is decorating tips and tricks. |
| 0:14.0 | Today we're discussing how to decorate with blue. |
| 0:18.0 | And blue is one of the most popular colors for people to use in decor, and it is one of |
| 0:23.7 | my personal favorites. So I am so excited to be doing this episode, and thank you, Kelly, for |
| 0:29.8 | suggesting it. Isn't that strange? The girl who claims not to be a blue girl suggested this |

| 1:42.2 | Lots of interesting things about blue. It is shown to lower your |
