Welcome to the show notes for Episode #11 of Young House Love Has A Podcast. Quick question: what happens when you and your partner have different design aesthetics? In this episode we talk about what actually works in our household and share practical ways couples can meet in the middle when decorating their home. We also discuss common things that drive professional organizers nuts, plus which organizing efforts can be counterproductive. Along the way we hear from someone who lived in a home featured on Trading Spaces, admire a pool that’s giving us serious envy, and explain why there was a glass bowl sitting on our yard (hint: it wasn’t for curb appeal).

What’s Not
- We referenced Good Housekeeping’s list of professional organizer pet peeves. It’s a helpful roundup of the common habits that make organizers cringe.
