I CAN FINALLY TELL YOU MY BIG SECRET
As many of you may already know… I’ve been keeping a big, big secret! I’ve wanted to tell you a hundred times! But I’ve been sworn to secrecy until now! So today is the BIG REVEAL! I wish it were written on a huge, grand sign that was covered in hot pink silk. And I wish a band was playing and I wish I could ceremoniously pull the pink silk off the sign and everyone could read the sign all at the same time. I wish you would clap and hug each other for joy and know in your heart that this was done with YOU in mind! So without much ado or a band or pink silk, but knowing in your heart this is with YOU in mind…

Wow, so excited for you, fabulous news and a great way forward. Xx
This is wonderful – can’t wait to listen!
I am soooo looking forward to listening, when its up and working.
Ladies: I am so happy to hear your big news is a Podcast! I was guessing about what the secret could be, but I never would have thought of this! It’s perfect from my point of view – I already listen to 3 Podcasts a week and have been searching for more. Now I can listen to yours 3 times a week! Thank you. I will be your biggest fan, as I am of your blogs. I’m starting right now! Good luck with your new venture.
Thank you Patricia!
Great listening ladies, I love this because we always look to you for your design ideas, now
Hearing your voices, it’s too kOOl!
PS 5 years ago we bought a 50’s house with orange laminated counters and back splash, needless
to say…the kitchen was our first to redo!!
Love u ladies, keep rolling!
Congratulations!!!!!
I am so excited for you all and can’t wait to listen to the first episode which will be today for sure. I would never have guessed that the big secret was going to be a podcast. What a brilliant surprise! I was so happy when I just read it. I absolutely love podcasts and I will be listening as I potter around my home ( one of my favourite things to do). Thank you and I wish you all the success possible!
So glad you will be listening Janet!
Great news! I can’t wait to listen! Congrats on undertaking such an exciting project!
Wonderful news….I wish you all the best! I am listening to you as I type…interesting topic “trends”…Congratulations Ladies,,,it takes a village 😉
Congrats! Can’t wait to listen!!!
Congratulations I just know it will be wonderful.
A great way to start the day. A cup of tea and you all.
I am so excited for you, Yvonne! I will be listening and I will certainly enjoy this. So exciting!!!
Congratulations this is exciting news!
Congratulations! How exciting for us to have this new feature. Thank you!
I enjoyed listening and putting “voice” to faces.
Looking forward to upcoming podcasts.
Can’t wait to get home from work to listen! Exciting news, sure it will be great as the blog!
Awesome ….what fun !
Loved the podcast! I thought just audio was a great way to broaden the scope of your ideas.
Congrats to all!!! Good to hear your voices!!
Congratulations!! This is so exciting for and I can’t wait to listen.
What great news! I so enjoyed hearing your first two podcasts, and really look forward to more. Congratulations on this next giant step!
Texas big hair is a classic?
I just listened to your first episode and really enjoyed hearing the voices of my favorite bloggers. I learned a few new things about each of you too. I’m thinking the Podcast is a GREAT idea so I will continue to tune in.
Loving it —you girls should have a TV show!
I just heard your podcast!! I found it very educational, and a comfort to hear that I don’t have to throw out things I love because they are no longer the trend. I can have my own style and that’s OK. I am not fortunate enough to have any but I believe marble is, always has been and always will be a classic.
Interesting! I’ll listen as often as I can.
I am sooooo excited! I can’t wait to hear all the decorating tips and inspiration you ladies have to offer! Thank you!!
Love, love, love it. Only thing better would be a video so we can see you ladies. Congratulations!!! Is there such a thing as too much fun?
EXCITING !!! C.O.N.G.R.A.T.S. to all. Can’t wait to get started. Not quite 6:00 a.m. here…
I’ll be listening to your PODCAST in about an hour or so. take care… LInda of No.Cal.
Congratulations! Just listed to the first podcast and totally enjoyed it! Looking forward to more.
p.s. GREAT logo !!
Great idea. Loved listening to your voices.
Many blessings on your new endeavor!
Congrats on your latest project! I’m sure it will be fabulous!
This is beyond fantastic! Congratulations!
Decorating is something I look forward to hearing from you ladies. This is great.
That’s wonderful news. I’ve got some travel coming up, and I plan on listening to your podcasts. A much better way to spend a few hours. 🙂
Such exciting news!! Can’t wait to find out who has the motorcycle license ?
It’s a fun discussion!
Love the new pod cast – after working with all men for 35 years it’s nice to hear some talk about decor instead of hockey! I go with what I love. Example: I have driven many new cars since 1980 – but they have all been black. Right now 2 of our cars are black – when you like something why change it? My husband would probably say that black is harder to keep clean, but that’s a subject for another day!! Re your wallpaper discussion – when we built our home 24 years ago we had the foyer and bathrooms wallpapered. About 10 years ago we started removing all the wallpaper – a messy and time consuming job preparing the walls for paint. I will never go back to wallpaper. We are in the process of a 5 yr. plan to sell our home and downsize to a walkable community, and I am looking forward to decorating another space – all classic light colors for this next part of our lives. A trend that I love is doing away with the heavy window treatments in favor of lighter airy draperies. I had custom treatments made when the house was new – now done away with and in there place a creamy lined sheer simple drapery in every room. Love them. Thanks again for this new fresh approach to your blogs.
YOU are an original!
That’s SO exciting…congrats to you all! I can’t wait to get started and hear even more “amazingness”!!
P.S. Sorry for the typo ladies – should be “their” not there. We have 2 infant baby granddaughters here that we take care of 5 days a week – much confusion! Love Stone Gable – helps keep me sane!
So fun to hear your own personalities and ideas. Wonderful!!!
Hearty congratulations to the three of you. I predict your podcast is going to be a hoot! Kind of like when my two sisters and I get together and carry on! I look forward to “hearing” your personalities shine. And decorating tips, too? Bonus time!
Best wishes with your happy new venture!
Listening to your podcast right now….a great idea! Looking forward to hearing you all every week!
oooooh!!!!! repositonal wall paper!!!!
Congratulations ! I know you must be so excited! This is great! Your “voice” of caring and passion for decorating has always come through to me through your writing, but now the warmth of your laughter and real VOICE will be heard! I have always “heard” your voice and imagine how it sounds. It will be so interesting to see how it compares.
Congratulations. I know I’m going to enjoy listening into this podcast. Good job, ladies!
This is going to be fun! Congrats to you ladies. But let me say, my marble counters and subway tile aren’t going anywhere. It would cost me a fortune to change either of those items. “Trends” are designed by the marketing department of hugh corporations. Next year “they” whoever “they” are… will tell us that the changaes we made this year to be “trendy” are no longer “trendy”… I won’t buy into that way of thinkng. My entire house is painted a lovely soft gray and it’s staying. White walls remind me of a hospital surgical room. I’m not a huge fan of blue but have seen a thing or two in antique dishes, specifially Flow Blue that I could get happy with. Sorry, but TRENDS are fo rich people. That leaves me out! Look forward to your next podcast. Won’t be any butterflies in my kitchen either! Sorry….
Wonderful! I’m listening right now and as others have said, it is good to hear your voices. Sorry, I don’t have an iphone, but I’ll be listening regularly.
The podcast is fun….
Can’t wait!! Congrats to all of you! Very exciting news!
Hello ladies. Wow!! I listened to both one after the other. I have to say, we live in a world of visuals. Fb, TV, even our music is in video form, well mine is anyway ☺It was so refreshing to just listen. I turned on the first one with coffee, and the second as I made my bed and tidied up the bedroom. LUV!!!!! I am looking forward to next podcast!
Great news! It will be like being in the same room with three of my favour ladies in blog land. I’ll make sure yo rate it after listening. Thank you, Yvonne, Anita & Kelly!
Thank you! We love you for subscribing, rating and reviewing!
How exciting!!!! I know how I’ll be spending my lunch break today 🙂
Congratulations !!! Looking forward these 🙂 🙂
Woohoo!! Congrats!
Oh i love podcast
Oh, wonderful. I hope you like ours!
listening now…..
Congratulations !
I enjoyed listening to the podcast this morning. I am sorry you had a cold Yvonne, but the stuffy nose helped me to discern who was speaking, lol! I hope you are feeling better and that cast has come off to give you more freedom.
That is so funny Julie!
Very exciting!!!!
Oh Yes!!!!! Just loved listening to both of your podcast! Can’t wait until the next one!
Great ideas ladies!
Bring it on!!!
Thank you Suzette!
Well,I was hoping your were going to announce you were coming to my house to redecorate. Haha. I love podcasts,makes you more real to your readers (and listeners). I’m off to your first podcast. Congratulations!
Congrats! I love podcasts and just listened to the first one! That was great ladies. Look forward to listening to the others this evening. Thank you!
So happy for all of you!

What I love is that I can multi-task as I listen. Diney on Camano Island
Fantastic guys. Just listened to the first Podcast — TRENDS. Love it. It sounds like you all have so much fun conversing with one another.
Congrats…fun listening to you ladies!
How Exciting! I just listened to the first podcast and can’t wait to listen to the second one! Hearing your voices makes it so personal. Perfect! I do have a question for you girls that I’m sure other gals would like to have an answer to also. We recently purchased a home built in 1988 and, as you can imagine, I’m surrounded by honey oak!!! Everyone is painting their trim some sort of white, do you think this is a trend? We are going to replace our trim with something a little bigger, should I be looking at painted trim or will that out in a few years? We have a North/South facing home so we don’t get a lot of sunlight. I would really like to lighten things up and I love painted trim, but I also don’t want to look outdated in a few years.
Can’t wait to hear your podcasts every week! YAY!
Wow! What fun! I really loved listening to the ‘Decorating Style’ while the children are napping and I’m checking emails and making dinner!!! I loved the statement that was made about doing what you love decor-wise and not having to fall into a “trend”. Because that’s how I like to do things! 🙂 How fun to listen to you girls!!! LOVE it!
This is exciting for you…..IAM sure you three will have fun and have a lot of good tips
Can’t wait to listen ~ It’s awesome to have you gals doing regular group chats!
That is awesome, congratulations!
So. So fabulous. Love hearing your voices and laughter. This is going to be so wonderful.
All the best ladies. Soar!
Oh my goodness this is fun!!! I am already a fan and love it!!! Can’t wait for more!
Love this! Congratulations!
Congratulations! Can’t wait to listen.
Fantastic news; congrats to all of you ladies. I will be listening!
That’s very exciting and it was fun to listen to you ladies and I try to identify your voice.
Congratulations Yvonne and all! Looking forward to hearing your tips and encouragement to keep on making our homes comfortably beautiful!
So thrilled for the three of you, and for all your readers! With your immense talents, I’m certain this venture will be a real winner. Looking forward to getting to know everyone better…what fun!

It was nice to put a voice to the faces I see everyday.
Congrats, so fun to hear you all!
I really enjoyed the talk about trends. I have grays and stainless steel. I’m also in a 110 year old cottage. So interesting
U R so smart and talent, can’t wait to stroll up and listen to your post for today 2/2/17
