| 0:10.6 | Hey everybody. |
| 0:11.7 | I'm Kelly Wilkness here with Anita Joyce and this is decorating tips and tricks. |
| 0:16.2 | Today we're talking about when to save and when to splurge. What we do in this podcast is we educate |
| 0:23.7 | you while we're even educating ourselves or each other about what quality is, what you should |
| 0:30.2 | be looking for in your decor items, your foundational pieces, and we also give you lots of tips |
| 0:36.7 | on how you can get things for less. |

| 1:46.9 | front door. Wow. I would not have thought of that. That is a great idea. I think a front door |
