Kathleen M is droppin' the microphone on the truth about PAINT STORE COLOR MATCHING. (Um... have we all been lied to?!) The ladies continue their convo about fool-proofing the ways you can pick paint colors for your home. Martha Stewart swings by (metaphorically) with her 2023 paint trends. Kathleen H very lovingly called her best friend's walls trash. And, as always, follow your heart - not what the trends tell you.

Much like Texas, when it comes to rugs, your motto should be: Go BIG or go home (rug-less). One of the most common design mistakes people make is getting a rug that is way too small. Kathleen and Kathleen break down exactly what furniture belongs on the rug and off the rug for optimal room-enhancing illusions. Then, Kathleen Heaney goes through different rug scenarios to lay out all the different options that shoppers have. Small dining room? Got a rug for that! L-shaped bedroom? There’s a rug for that too!
