  • Enjoy it overall!

    Appreciative of this great free resource from Ballard to learn more about decorating. I always particularly enjoy the interviews with designers. It is a little funny to me that one host does at least 70% of the talking. Maybe that’s just me, as I tend to notice that dynamic any time it appears in a podcast. Would love to hear more equally from the hosts.

  • Miss Karen, love old episodes

    Karen was delightful and meshed well with Caroline and Taryn. The new dynamic is just not as good. I love listening to the old Karen-era episodes though!!!! So many good ones and good designers over the years!

  • Such a great podcast

    I have listened to nearly every episode (and am working my way through the OG ones). It is such a great podcast and is so relatable to people new to design as well as seasoned veterans. I mainly wanted to write this review after seeing some negative comments from other listeners — Karen was a hilarious host but the remaining women have done a GREAT job in her absence. Liz is a delightful host with a soothing voice and very refined/considered point of view. I love her addition to the group! ... more
