#13: Houses Are Overwhelming, So Where Do I Start?

Well, hello. I didn’t see you there. If you’re looking for the show notes for Episode #13 of Objectales Has A Podcast, then you’ve come to the right place. On this episode we’re answering questions like “Is there a “right” order when it comes to decorating or renovating a home?” “What comes first, the paint or the furniture?” “The big renovations or the small updates?” Well, we’re sharing our best tips for tackling even the most daunting of house to-do lists and sharing advice for keeping things less overwhelming and boosting DIY morale. We also share a new weekly tradition in our kitchen, ponder what it looks like when reality stars flip houses, and impart a free tech tip that might even save you some cash. Plus, listeners share their embarrassing ER stories and – guess what? – our first house is for sale again!

Just listened to ep. 10 and my ER trip for a dumb reason…stepped on a toothpick, which got stuck in my foot. #feltsostupid
