Welcome — if you skipped the small talk, you’re in the right place. These are the show notes for Episode #26 of Young House Love Has A Podcast. In this episode we share some big news we couldn’t wait to tell you (Sherry can barely contain herself), sit down with designer Brian Patrick Flynn — known for his work on HGTV Dream Homes and features in Domino and Country Living — and talk about the little things house guests really notice when they visit. We also gush a bit about an unlikely, delightful pairing in the world of homemaking TV that we’re currently obsessed with.
