This week I’m laying out why I think the end of HGTV’s Fixer Upper might actually bring some good things, and Sherry’s revealing the secret screw-up that almost ruined our beach house floors. Plus If you’ve ever dreamed of buying a second property or wading into the real estate investing waters, we’re getting pro tips from real estate expert Dana Bull. She’s breaking down a less risky way to buy your first rental, explaining why being a landlord isn’t as scary as it sounds, and sharing tricks for renovating wisely.

We’re Digging
- Above is a peek at our daughter’s room, which has seen some recent updates (post coming hopefully soon!), but for now you can see the reversible duvet cover we found at Home Goods. Llama sheets are from Target, btw.
- Speaking of Target – and other places like Pottery Barn Kids and Land of Nod – well, they’re pretty much our go-to places for finding kids bedding. So it was fun to stumble upon some other great options in places I never think to look – like Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, and Etsy! Below are some of our favorite finds: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
- Also, here’s the Dirty John podcast that we’ve both been loving. We finished the 6th and final installment this weekend and both of our mouths hung open for a good ten minutes. So captivating.
Also, if you’re looking for something we’ve dug in a past episode, but don’t remember which show notes to click into, here’s a master list of everything we’ve been digging from all of our past episodes.
And lastly, a big thank you to Modsy for sponsoring this episode. Visit Modsy.com/YHL to see how they took our crazy, angled bonus room and reimagined it as a restful master suite. It nearly made Sherry want to move our bed in there! And don’t forget to use code YHL20 to get 20% off your first Modsy room.
Thanks for listening, guys!
