I found this podcast about 7 months ago and I am obsessed! This wonderful podcast has taught me so much. I love love love listening to Anita and Kelly talk. They describe everything so specifically with such words that I can see the colors and designs, I can feel the textures and fibers, my imagination runs wild with each episode! It’s so exciting to listen to. Every subject and item they discuss is brought to life with their words!

Decorating with imagination and hosts with rapport.

Anita and Kelly always have such great advice! I love listening to new episodes every Wednesday morning on my way to work… such a mid week treat!! Wondering if you ladies have any ideas on how to renovate a basement to look pulled together and sleek without going overboard on the farmhouse/shiplap look??

I love the playful yet informative vibe of this podcast. I’ve learned so much about decor, but I also tune in just for a quick mood boost. Highly recommend giving it a listen!

Your pod cast is such a treat! Not only do I enjoy your helpful tips and tricks, but I truly enjoy listening to the two of you as people. Your personalities are refreshingly genuine, kind, and so much FUN to listen too! Anita your voice is kind and soothing. Kelly you are so full of charisma and spunk! I love that you each express unique ideas. The information and source links that you share are so helpful! I have shared your pod cast with friends. Thank you for adding joy to my daily commute. I love, love your pod cast!

I just about can’t stand this podcast. I tried to be open minded and listened to well over thirty of these but I found it so chit chatty about nothing significantly new and so advertisement laden that I felt the purpose of the show is to line the pockets of the presenters with advertisement generated revenue. Honestly anything that is said here can be looked up in two minutes on the internet. I suppose it is okay as background noise if one wants company that includes really long boring advertising for over priced items. I also found many of their ideas did not create individual coziness so many aspire to. Without individualism one’s home will always feel generic and in need of that ‘something’ more. But then all that marketing is meant to sell you generic solutions and decor. Adding so much of their own constant changing of their own homes tells me they are not even able to achieve peace and satisfaction as so called experts. Boring, yak yak. There I said it- nothing personal.

DTT is my escape pod, especially when I get overwhelmed by the news podcasts I listen to. The ladies are always full of good actionable ideas that are reasonable that I can apply decorating my home.

I started listening to this podcast a couple of years ago, and I am now a devoted listener. It has provided me with so much inspiration for decorating my homes and assisting friends and family. I've also shared this podcast with others, and they have enjoyed it as well! There are so many episodes covering a wide range of topics related to decorating; it feels like there are endless subjects to explore. What I love is that the hosts share personal stories about projects in their homes and their "crushes," which makes it all the more enjoyable! I went back to school during COVID-19 and took interior design courses…this has enhanced my love for designing spaces! Thank you Kelly and Anita for sharing your passion and love for design!

I’ve listened to this podcast for years and have incorporated several of the helpful tips from Kelly and Anita into my home. Really enjoy the friendly banter and practical advice - thank you ladies!

I stumbled upon DTT a while ago and can not get enough. There is no other podcast like it. I've gone back and caught up on all the past episodes. So much great advice, inspiration, and actionable content. I've listened to several episodes multiple times. They are in my ear when I'm on the road, cleaning, walking etc and they have helped my decor and mindset in so many ways. I hope they continue for many years to come.

Anita & Kelly I am so glad that I started listening to your podcast! I am really enjoying your opinions, advise & tips on home design. It is my favorite podcast. I have learned so much from it. Happy Birthday to you both!🎂🌸. Eileen

I’ve been listening to Kelly and Anita since the beginning. I truly look forward to Wednesdays to listen to their newest episode where I always find myself nodding along with what they’re saying or even responding out loud to them 🤣. During Covid they even had a little decorating club online which I still miss) From their great tips to the virtual kinship you feel with these two women you will not be disappointed so tune in! Truly have LA in my heart ❤️ 😔 PS: Happy birthday ladies!🎂🥰 A forever fan, Mariaelena Ullinger

I could listen to them all day, and I often do. Kelly and Anita have emotionally shepherded me through moving across the country and decorating my first two bedroom apartment. So grateful for the free guidance they’ve given me over the years!

As a decorating enthusiast I have found DTT to be the best podcast available. Kelly & Anita have great chemistry and I love the banter. They have great ideas, suggestions and lots of laughs. I’ve listened to every episode and I’m always anxiously awaiting the next episode.

This was my gateway podcast—still enjoy listening and hearing the good advice and about changes they have made to their homes. I especially like that they hold opinions sometimes that aren’t popular with everyone…aren’t we all trying to up our game?

I recently happened upon this podcast and have lots to catch up on. Kelly & Anita are instructive, warm, inspiring and so knowledgeable. There’s nothing stuffy about their advice. Happy Birthdays!

This is the first decorating podcast that I started listening to and it’s still my favorite. Lots of great opinions and advice.

Really enjoy this Podcast Kelly and Anita are hilarious, and they provide so many practical, affordable and inspirational decorating tips for any budget. Appreciate all the links they add to their episodes. LOVE IT.

It's not the same. Coffee talk vibe is gone. As ads Increased the content value decreased, and who needs "classics". Don't dis your audience

I’ve been listening to Decorating Tips and Tricks for years. I love how Anita and Kelly explain the different topics. It’s like getting together with best friends. They give tips that are budget friendly.

Ladies - is something wrong with Anita’s teeth/mouth? She sounds as if she us struggling around something.

I stumbled across this podcast in my search for good decorating advice. I’m just a girl who likes to change things up all the time! This show makes me feel Like I’m chatting with decorator friends and the tips are simple, realistic tips. I loved the episode about finding a piece of wicker on the road and dragging it home! My question is this. I did a big no-no and changed my dining room to a color that does not appear anywhere else in my house. I used SW Oyster Bay on my walls and wallpapered in a pattern with similar color. What can I do to bring the color throughout the rest of my downstairs without redoing my entire house. I have SW Agreeable gray on my walls (but I was never farmhouse) and SW Wall Street as an accent wall in my family room. With my pictures I can put some pillows in there and I think make it work BUT my kitchen has browns and grays in it (sounds awful just typing it)! I’m not opposed to painting my cabinets in my kitchen but what else can I do to bring the color throughout so it is more cohesive downstairs and not have to change out my flooring, which is a brown/gray. What accents could I possibly use in a kitchen? Thanks! - Dreaming of decorating

I’ve listening for about a year now and I almost always hear something that applies directly to my home. I’ve purchased some of the products they recommend and they are always high quality. Love it!

I stumbled on DTT trying to figure out how to decorate after a renovation. After 5 years in our ‘new’ to us real farmhouse (on a farm) I finally put a nail in the wall. Eek! Thank you Anita & Kelly - you gave me the courage to do this decorating thing. The paper contractor shades are ripped off the windows and I’ve only broken one curtain rod so far. These ladies give it to you straight but they are kind. No more grommet curtains from the discount bin at Lowe’s! Thank you both I’m a fan for life!

These ladies provide great "tips" in a funny and conversational way. When you are listening you feel like you are in the room with them. They provide tons of information for the everyday design enthusiasist. Each lady has her own style and between the 3 of them you will find something to take away and incorporate into your own home. I usually listen while I am painting or doing a craft project of my own.

I’ve been listing for a few years and always pick up something useful and relevant for my home. These women provide tried and true design advise that isn’t too trendy but is still current and applicable. Their style is approachable yet expert. I trust their opinions, even when they disagree sometimes as both come to design with a good eye and years of experience. My question is: I live in a single story stucco home with a brown bar tile roof in the Las Vegas area. I like a fresh traditional/transitional home with European influences. (English/French) Do you think I could get away with applied molding to the walls in the primary bedroom and sitting area? The walls are textured, would they have to be made smooth? I love this look but hesitate because the southwestern style of home that I live in may not work with such a traditional application. Please advise!!

I listen on my walks and am so pleasantly surprised at the great advice they provide without video! I have learned so much already from Kelly and Anita that even my husband has commented that he really likes what I have been doing with our house. I love their approachable style of making your home unique and your own. They are not like other “influencers” who want you to go out and buy every trendy item. Not that there is anything wrong with that,I just prefer Kelly and Anita’s style. I have two questions, so feel free to use either. (I need to book a consult!) 1. Regarding your sofa advice, I am sofa shopping at the stores you recommended for my family room. What colors or shades do you recommend if you have a husband who only likes leather sofas, a young boy and a dog? We like traditional styles. 2. Is it okay to have a different color on the inside of your front door than on the outside?

I love listening during my commute. It’s like I’m hanging out with my girlfriends! The show is a mix of great decorating info along with some good laughs. My question is: what are recommendations to jazz up the walls in my 2 bathrooms in our Florida beach condo? We had it renovated from top to bottom and it needs that next-level decor on the boring walls! I’m concerned about moisture from the showers. Thank you.

I'm so grateful to have found this podcast. The wisdom and information shared goes beyond home decorating, and has significantly influenced my own personal approach to art. I appreciate the well laid out format and relevant, practical, and widely applicable suggestions. Plus, you both are so lovely, it's like visiting a rose garden every time :) My question for an upcoming Q&A: Could you do an episode on functional decor in small spaces? I'm thinking specifically for people (like me) who live in tiny houses or RVs and can't spare much soace for vignettes or other decorations. However, I love the idea of beautiful, functional objects that we can interact with in a daily basis. Thank you both for all the work you put into bringing these examples of beauty to us.

I’ve been listening for a few years and have learned quite a few simple and useful decorating tips that I have incorporated into my home and garden. I have a dilemma. I have beautiful dark walnut hardwood tile floors throughout the main living areas but not in the bedrooms. I’ve always disliked carpet and yep it’s in the bedrooms. The tile has been discontinued in the finish I have and is only available in high gloss which is a no no for me. What should I replace the carpet with to give the house a uniformed appearance? Thank you.

I’d forgotten why I stopped following years ago but a couple episodes in and I remembered! It’s like an episode of Mean Girls. What a couple of snobs! “I wore my lululemon leggings to redecorate my MIL’s beach house” Gag me now! These two aren’t worth the listen unless you like being home shamed. It’s a hard pass for me once again!

I truly dislike the shaming that goes on in interior design. You talk about the look but what about the living that is done in our homes? This episode may have improved but I didn’t finish.

Moving into our dream home and looking to really style this one differently than our prior home. I couldn’t have found this podcast at a more perfect time. Simple in detail realistic tips away from trends and using classics along side current pieces is highly encouraging to someone who’s just tipping her towels into design. Thankful and listening to all the episodes makes me feel confident and ready to FULLY ENJOY this be decor adventure.

I love listening to this podcast on my morning walk! Then I can’t wait to get home a try out some of the new ideas I have heard. Thanks Kelly and Anita! I’m a 68 year old grandmother of 4 ( soon to be 5)! You’re never too old to learn!

I was lucky to have a 45 minute consult with Anita and Kelly and it was my favorite thing I have done in so long. Being on the phone was productive and helped me in going forward with plans for my dining room. They both had numerous ideas and we discussed every aspect of the project. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, and they built on my idea and brought such understanding of what I can do in the space for seating and arrangement of furniture. They were budget conscious and provided ideas that I can do now and ideas for the future such as flooring. We weighed pros and cons of different types of flooring, paint colors and making the space look brighter than it does now. I enjoyed the design consultation and I hope I can get to do it again someday!

I have greatly enjoyed listening to this podcast. It feels like I am chatting with friends over coffee. I love everything I’ve learned from listening to them that I’ve applied to decorating our home.

Thank you for the interesting and useful information on decorating!! Plus a good book tip!!

Actionable tips from 2 friendly professionals

I love this show. It ticks all of the boxes for me; how to approach your home from the aspects of organization, editing, quality purchases and timeless decorating. All of this information along with two cheerful, approachable, knowledgeable hosts makes every episode an enjoyable experience. Ladies, could you please consider doing an episode of how to work with ‘exposed’ areas in our homes such as glass front kitchen cabinets, where to store bath items when you have a pedestal sink, keeping a landing zone for purses or keys looking acceptable, organizing a bar area in a stylish way and a temporary home (other than the floor) for decorative pillows and throws if guests do not want them on their seats? Keep up your good work and sage advise! Thank you ladies, Mary L.

I’m slightly obsessed with this podcast! I stumbled across their podcast when I was looking for interior design tips and tricks that would help me design our new home. They have SO many great tips that have been extremely helpful for someone who has no clue when it comes to interior design. I’ve been given so many compliments on my design and decor. They're entertaining to listen to and I highly recommend you take a listen for yourself! Thank you Kelly and Anita!!!

One of my favorite decorating podcasts to listen to! I have learned so much!

I am a new listener and have found the podcast to be a helpful source of home decorating ideas. However, I was surprised by the suggestion of “British Colonialism” as a decor theme, which was described with references to African elements and the “Bombay Company” store. This “theme” is culturally insensitive and ignores the important historical context of the British colonial era. I hope the hosts keep these issues in mind on a going-forward basis.

Their voices are so grating that they make my teeth ache. And they like to push $$ furniture. $500+ coffee tables???

I enjoy listening to your podcast! I really got a lot out of today’s episode! Thank you for the links…now I’m off to buy a few things. Shhhh….don’t tell my husband - lol!!

Love this podcast! Thank you!

It’s a fun listen, sweet, friendly, and good natured. This show is full of great ideas and tips. I especially appreciate their explanations of why do or don’t do something. I really enjoy the show, and always learn from it.

Kelly and Anita, I enjoy you ladies so much! I listen to you while commuting or while I’m taking a nice long walk. I love every episode that I’ve heard. And I love that you are having fun and enjoying what you’re doing also. I can hear it in your voice and your laughter. Thanks for all the fun and I do need to set up a consult. Thank you.

Hi ladies, I am a hospice social worker and do a lot of long distance driving. I found you all when I did a search for design and decorating. I am only halfway through the episodes in 2018. As much as I would like to skip ahead … I don’t want to miss something. I did a search because we are doing an addition on our house and a remodel of the kitchen and a couple bathrooms. I just needed help and inspiration. Your podcast has been so very helpful!!!

I am so happy to have found Kelly and Anita in this amazing decorating podcast. The podcast is entertaining and they offer instructions that make it possible to create a beautiful home on your budget. I love that they share links to their favorite items in each show. At times, I find myself laughing along with them as I would with friends. I recently built a new home and had Anita and Kelly schedule a design consult with me. It was so worth it, as they gave me 45 minutes of tips and links to find items that would help me decorate my family room. They are so creative and I appreciate how they share their lives as well as design tricks with us.

I LOVE this podcast. It has actual actionable advice and I so appreciate they don’t lean too heavily on interviews or unrelated chatter. They always get down to the goods quickly but they also both have such sweet, funny, genuine personalities. I especially love how they talk about their “crushes” at the end and I knew I found my people when one of them recommended the IT Crowd! Definitely a must listen if you’re into interior design.
