There are three things that you shouldn't talk about.

0:02.9

Religion, politics, and...

0:06.0

Hey, everybody. I'm Kelly Wilkins, and I'm here with Anita Joyce, and this is Decorating Tips and Tricks, Episode 352. And you can find the show notes for

0:23.0

today's episode at Decorating Tips and Tricks.com slash 352. The episode today is Gray. Is it here to stay?

0:36.9

You know, I wanted to talk about this today because of what I saw happen on Facebook.

0:44.1

A Facebook friend of mine went on Facebook and said, I don't like gray.

0:50.0

And the biggest ballroom brawl occurred on Facebook after that with people being unhappy with

1:39.4

I love color, but I still love gray too. I think, I honestly think the people that don't like gray and I don't know

1:45.9

who this friend was and I don't know who the people are that are in her camp site. But I think that the

1:52.1

people that really don't like gray or feel like they've had gray above the eyebrows and are just sick

1:57.2
