Transcript excerpt

You could say no go for it a little more in your home. Don't worse. Target and HomeGoods won't even know you're gone. There's a lot of nice rugs and tables out there, but when you put them together, are they doing anything? Is it a lively conversation, or is it just safe? Is there sculpture in your table? Is there joy in your rug? Are you going for it? Maybe you're redoing your tier. You're putting in a railing. You could do this, or you could go for it because you're going to be looking at it for years. You wanna do something that you're proud of. I know they're comfortable, but does this world really need another cloud sofa? What if you found something instead that gave you a slightly nervous tingle that warmed your blood? Speaking of warm, what if instead of weird blue glass chips inside of a black rectangle, we designed a fireplace that would make your Renaissance era ancestors less likely to disown you? That would be going for it. You could do another fake wood floating shelf, or you could go for it and build a contrast alcove with a little sizzle. Sconce or sconce? Faucet or faucet? A good rule is if you're a little bit nervous, it's probably a good sign.
