Show Notes: The gang listens to Julia crack eggs of knowledge all over our heads about how to choose a white paint and make it work for different lighting situations and different rooms. And also how to make white paint work with ivory paint in the same room.

Finally getting around to this episode of the podcast, and I have some strong opinions about shoes in the house. I grew up wearing shoes inside, and I never remember being asked or expected to take my shoes off at someone else’s house. I’m from Georgia, and just don’t know anybody who does this.
In fact, I had a party a few weeks ago (50 or so late 20’s-30’s), and two guys took their shoes off. Nobody else had their shoes off and it was SO offensive to me. I know I should not take offense to this, but both were not wearing socks and we could all smell their feet. However, I didn’t feel like there was a way to ask them to put their shoes back on without being rude.
I don’t even not wear shoes in my own house– I have rubber-bottomed slippers that I wear all the time.
I grew up wearing shoes in the house but having lived in Africa where shoes get so dusty/muddy all the time and now living in Norway where it is not acceptable to wear shoes inside we just became a “ho shoes” household. I don’t feel strongly about it but just grew accustomed! I also believe that having floor heating is the reason we feel so comfortable without shoes in our current house…
Anyway, I saw this doormat on apartment therapy and made me come back here to comment!

I felt so inspired by the podcast advice about shoes because I do NOT like shoes in the house because of our two little ones! We recently had a party for both boys’ birthdays (on a rainy day!) and I added a very obvious shoe shelf by the door with a pair of my shoes already on it to give a little “hint, hint.” At the end of the party? Not ONE pair of shoes had joined my shoe example and my husband cleaned up LOTS of muddy footprints off our new rug :( I guess next time I will have to be more vocal about our wishes and not expect visitors to pick up on a hint! Thanks for the tips!
My daughter has a sign that hangs in her entrance way….
“Little hands and feet touch these floors,
please remove your shoes.”
Anyway the bottom of the shoes that have been walking around the city streets and who knows …. leave them at the door. If you are Carrie, maybe put them in your purse! :))
My Vote is for you Dad!!
I listened to this episode twice, and I went back and listed to episode 01 again. Soo good! Thank you! I just can’t get enough of undertones and I definitely had the misconception that I had to choose one white paint for my whole house. Have you read Design sponge’s post on white paint? It’s in their “little black book of…” Series and it lists her favorite white paints and what their undertones are.
