Here are the four questions we tackled this week: 1. How to balance over-improving your home for someone else and making it perfect for you. Jen largely answers her own question, but we chime in with some examples from our own home. Sometimes the value is enough for you that it's worth the money, and sometimes you can get the same value for spending less. What we did with our kitchen ranges is a good example. 2. How to choose and display art in your home. We give a lot of tips and talk about the various ways we display art in our home, as well as how to make differing display options feel cohesive and not combative.     3. How to fix lines on a wall from painted stripes   There's going to be a lot of people dealing with this issue in the coming years, because about ten years ago, stripes were the rage. We talk about a couple of options, but unfortunately none of them are super convenient. But worth it, to get rid of the stripes.   4. How to handle a living space that is two stories high    This can be a tricky one, but there are things you can do to make two-story living spaces feel less empty, particularly on the walls. We talk about curtains, local theaters and millwork trim.   SPONSOR   This episode is sponsored by Daily HarvestJules and I have been ordering Daily Harvest smoothies from even before they were a sponsor of the podcast.
