| 0:10.8 | Hi, this is Anita Joyce, here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is Decorating Tips and Tricks. |
| 0:17.3 | Episode 405, Must Know Decor Tips, Part 2. |
| 0:22.8 | We had so much fun with the last episode coming up with our must know tips that we felt |
| 0:29.0 | like it really deserved a part 2. |
| 0:31.5 | Oh, indeed. |
| 0:32.5 | And oftentimes the part 2, you know, is not as great as the part one, but I think this one might |

| 1:30.1 | sized for the space. And even with each other, make sure everything's scaled properly with |
| 1:36.7 | other things in the room. So for example, I had a situation where I have a very tall chest |
| 1:42.4 | behind my sofa. It's 38 inches tall, which is the height of the back of the sofa. |
| 1:47.8 | That's a tall sofa, FYI. |
| 1:51.2 | So it's a massive chest, really. |
| 1:54.0 | And I put some chairs on either side because I had that when I had a sofa table back |
