| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, it's Kelly Wilkins and Anita Joyce, and this is Decorating Tips and Tricks. |
| 0:13.0 | Today we have another Decorating Tips and Tricks Plus where you get more of us. |
| 0:18.4 | So today we're discussing patina and why we love it and how it can help |
| 0:24.2 | you in your home. Yes, I love a good patina, don't you? Absolutely do. Should you tell the people |
| 0:33.6 | that are listening from Jupiter and Mars what patina is? Well, it's a subtle, beautiful change |
| 0:40.4 | that develops on the surface over time. Yes. What I like to think about it is a little bit |
| 0:46.2 | romantic. It's the visible traces of touch and use over time. And I think that is going to resonate with you or not. And it's okay |
| 0:58.6 | if it doesn't resonate with you, but it really resonates with me and it really resonates with |
| 1:04.1 | Anita. And I'm sure so many of our listeners. But it's just great to understand what it is and how it can help you and you're |
| 1:12.0 | decorating. So we thought it would be fun to chat about it because, you know, it's a topic that |

| 1:31.0 | someone else held. Oh, me too. Many years ago. And I think about who was that? Where were they? |
| 1:39.6 | You know, what were they serving on that? Because oftentimes, and I'm sure for Anita, |
| 1:43.1 | oftentimes it involves something that might go on the table. |
| 1:46.5 | Perhaps. |
| 1:48.7 | But all sorts of things from frames that have been chipped away and maybe the gilding has come off over time. |
| 1:58.3 | So what art was in there? |
| 2:00.6 | Where was that hanging? Why was it important |
| 2:03.4 | to that person? I love to think about that. I think it adds just such a layer of history, of course, |
| 2:12.6 | but also just a layer of, I don't want to say sentimentality, because it really isn't sentimental in the sense of, you know, someone that you knew or loved. But I think it adds value to the piece because it has endured and it has carried on and it has its own personal history. Well, have you heard of somebody having an antique and they clean it up and take off all |
| 2:37.9 | the signs of wear and then the antique is no longer worth any money? |
