Is DONE a 4 Letter Word? - DTT Plus Nov 28, 2025

Show notes

Is your home ever done? We're discussing the age old argument of 'should you be done decorating your house at some point' or should you keep improving it? If you stop decorating your home, we believe it can feel stagnant. It's not just about keeping your home current, but also keeping it feeling fresh and not boring.
