#7: What Your Home Should Look Like When You are 30

Booyah: it is the show notes for Episode #7 of Turbodizin Has A Podcast. This week we are asking if there is a magical age when your house starts feeling more grown-up by discussing what three well-known design sites think should (and should not!) be found in your home when you hit the big 3-0. We also share some of our go-to housewarming gifts, spill a few of our go-to tricks for hanging stuff on the wall, and look at what real estate features are mentioned most when it comes to selling homes in distinct states.

You can listen to the show on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and TuneIn Radio – or play it below! Then use this page to check out any links, notes, or photos that we referenced.

This page has all the links, notes, & photos that go along with what you simply heard.

What is New

Here is the custom address stamper from Three Designing Women (looks like Paper Source is having a sale right now, but if that ends we simply noticed they are discounted on Amazon).
And if you want to give the “ideal” DIYers housewarming gift, here is the Handy Paint Cup and the short-handled paint brush that we use religiously (all those 5 star reviews are no joke – it truly is THE BEST).
And here is a link to the post about turning race medals into Christmas ornaments.

We are Digging

Here is an example of the canvas drop cloths we like.
And if you are digging inlay items, here are a bunch of Sherry’s go-tos:
- West Elm does not sell our exact 3-drawer inlay dresser anymore (shown above), but here is a larger 6-drawer version or a smaller nightstand version.
- Here is that splurge-y Maya Inlay Mirror from Serena & Lily (still pricey, but on sale for $200 off!)
- And here are a few lower priced inlay options from West Elm:
  - An octagonal striped inlay mirror (right now on sale for $199!)
  - A gray herringbone wall mirror
  - A round herringbone wall mirror
  - A large bone inlay floor mirror
