Everybody makes mistakes, right?  But home design and decorating mistakes can be really hard to swallow because they waste your valuable time and money.  In this episode, we’ll talk about the second set of 6 design mistakes that you might be making AND what to do instead so your home looks its best.  So let’s go through the list and see how your home’s doing.  Are you ready?  Let’s do this!

What to listen for in this episode:
