Hello, I'm Anita Joyce here with Kelly Wilkins, and this is Decorating Tips and Trics, episode 412,

Trend Focus, The Collected Look.

And we do like talking about how to create a collected look.

It's such a beautiful way to decorate. And, you know, when we've touched on here and there,

but we figured we sort of drill down and narrow the focus just onto the collected look today.

Part of the reason we wanted to pick out a sort of a trend to discuss today

is because the interview we have is with someone who is known as a trend forecaster. So,

yeah, interesting. Yes. Well, and this is new for us. I'm excited that it's our first interview.

I know. I know. It's really going to, it really was fun. I did an

interview with this woman, Amy, Azarito, who wrote a wonderful book, which is the subject of our

giveaway, the elements of a home, curious histories behind everyday household objects from pillows

to forks. And it's a great book. Uh,

we were sent the book by Amy's publisher. Anita and I both really enjoyed it. And,

uh, they reached out to us. We said, yes. And, you know, here we are. We have an interview to share

with you. But before we get to that interview, we want to talk about the collected

look because it's a really lovely way to decorate. And it's a wonderful time, if you will,

in our collective experience, where you can go through all of your wonderful items and choose and curate the things that you want to

highlight in your room. And you can start developing this collected look because it's not necessarily

things you need to go out and buy. It may be a lot of things that you already have on hand. And having

things on hand now in our surreal existence is a great thing. So we can help you play around with some of the stuff

you already have and start on the road to this collected look, even if you haven't, you know,

explored this in your decorating at all. It's, we can start now. Well, I love the idea. Like you said,
