Podcast, Ep. 253 Trials & Triumphs

Today we are excited to be starting something new! Over the years we’ve heard from those of you who love our Trials & Triumphs. And those who…don’t. So we have decided to introduce a series of episodes that will only include our Trials & Triumph, as well as episodes that will only include interviews with our guests. This empowers you, the listener, to choose to listen to what you want; either or both formats. We value your feedback, so please let us know what you think!  

What You’ll Hear on This Episode:

• What outdoor projects Caroline has been doing; some inspired by our episode with Carmen Johnston and her faux boxwood planter tutorial.  
• Caroline has revamped her outdoor dining table with succulents and also repainted her front door again.  
• Apparently Taryn, Caroline, and Liz all have interesting color choices–especially when it comes to green.
• How Caroline’s roses from Antique Rose Emporium are doing and how she inspired Taryn to do her own.
