I hate to even ask, because you do such a great job listing where items from your home are from, but this wooden garden stool has me going into deep deep love with it. Where is it from? My google searches are not returning anything as beautiful.
Where is the plaid ottoman from?

Preston is the Samwise Gamgee of this podcast. The ring would never get destroyed if Sam didn’t carry Frodo on his back.
I finally got a chance to listen to this episode. I love your podcast so much, and I love it that Preston is on it! He adds such a great element. Each one of you contributes your unique personality which makes it so much more enjoyable. I love the design talk but most of all I love that it always brings a smile to my face to listen to you. You all laugh so much and that’s contagious. Thanks for bringing some happiness to my week!
Also, I thought it was nice to hear your take on the bank account issue. Every family is different but you offered your view on what YOU do. And that’s cool. We have a main shared account at our house too but through the years we have sometimes had another account for one of us to have personal spending money (the main bill-payer usually has their spending money in the main account). I like Kristi’s take on it above though. Maybe we’ll try that at some point.
I love the blog and podcast, but the joint account conversation seemed a little one-sided in opinion and judgemental. I was glad to see some other perspectives in the comments above. My partner and I have had our own accounts and a shared account for years now, and I love it. Similar to others in the comments, we pay for bills, food, shared experiences out of our joint account, and also save together towards agreed upon goals. I’ve tried fully shared in a prior relationship. For me, maintaining additional shared accounts is a sign of trust, not distrust. We trust each other to spend discretionary money wisely, and we still wouldn’t make a huge purchase without talking it over together. And one big advantage this time of year is how easy it is to surprise each other with gifts! Fully shared accounts can make that difficult. If one person in a relationship were to be making all of the money, I could definitely see just one shared account making a lot more sense. Different strokes for different folks :)
Beth, these are all really valid and awesome points! I wish I could surprise Chris with gifts once in a while! To be honest, we were under the impression that Preston and Corine DID have separate accounts and were banking on Preston offering the view points for the other side. In retrospect, we should have just scrapped that segment after we learned otherwise but are really enjoying the view points of our readers!
