Well, hello. I didn’t see you there. If you’re looking for the show notes for Episode #13 of Young House Love Has A Podcast, you’ve come to the right place. On this episode we answer questions like “Is there a right order when it comes to decorating or renovating a home?” “What comes first, the paint or the furniture?” and “Do big renovations or small updates come first?” We share practical tips for tackling even the most intimidating home to-do lists, advice to keep projects from feeling overwhelming, and ways to boost DIY morale. We also introduce a new weekly kitchen tradition, reflect on what flipping houses looks like for reality stars, offer a simple tech tip that could save you money, and hear listeners’ embarrassing ER stories. Oh, and our first house is for sale again!
