The Couples Challenge... Who’s More Likely To?

We’re pulling back the rug on some of our controversial interior design opinions! In Episode 38, we’re sharing our unfiltered, off-the-cuff takes on the trends we’re over, the “design rules” we think are meant to be broken, and the popular design choices we think are worth defending (or ditching!). Some of our opinions might hit a little close to home, literally! But take them with a grain of salt. We’re not the design police, and there’s always room for a good debate!

She let two strangers transform her room… then never saw them again. Until now! We’re reconnecting with Alex, who found us on Craigslist for a room makeover that none of us knew would become our most popular video, with over 11 million views! In Episode 37, Alex is back to share what the experience was really like, what the makeover meant to her during a difficult chapter of her life, and what it’s like to have people recognize her from the video! If you missed last week’s episode, we watch back and react to the original $287 makeover that started it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acPoD3XyVIo And while we’re taking a trip down memory lane, Kate wants to check back in on the Cruz family, who lived in a converted garage.

Our most-viewed makeover started with a Craigslist stranger, a single day to transform their room and a $300 budget.  In episode 36, we’re revisiting this makeover from nine years ago with fresh eyes and years of design experience. We’re spilling behind-the-scenes secrets, taking another look at our design choices, and wondering where Alex is now. What would we do differently if we tackled this room today?

After 20 years together, you’d think we could agree on who’s more likely to…  Who’s more embarrassing? Who would get scammed? Who’s the dramatic one? We’re putting each other on the spot with a couples challenge - and Joey wants to know how he can win a game with no winner. Then we call Kate’s sister Tess to talk about the wedding we still haven’t had. Between an obstacle course and an eject button, the ideas get a little out of hand.

OMG we’re going to the chapel!? Let’s get into why a traditional wedding never really resonated with Kate now that we have kids—should we throw a big one? Joey has big ideas, Kate has some thoughts, and we’re even considering letting Tess plan the whole thing. This is episode 34 and we need you to weigh in! And then there’s the biggest question: Should we throw a Mr. Kate meet-and-greet wedding and invite you?

Your home doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to have personality. For us, it’s a little weird, a little woo-woo, and very true to us. In episode 33, we’re sharing the strange little rituals, habits, design choices, and home quirks that make our spaces feel like ours, from the things we do for better sleep and energy to the things that would probably make absolutely no sense in anyone else’s house. Your version of weird is part of what makes you, you. So why not let those little quirks show up in your home, too? Because home should be more than a place that looks good. It should be a place where you can fully be yourself, decompress from the outside world, and maximize the experience of being at home. What’s something totally YOU that you do at home?

Does your house feel bland no matter how you decorate it? It’s not your fault! Fresh off our OMG We’re Coming Over! makeover at Ava Jules’ house (full room transformation videos coming soon), we’re inspired to share what we’ve learned about turning plain, builder-grade spaces into homes full of character. We transformed two of Ava’s gray, basic rooms with architectural interest and thoughtful design, and now we’re breaking down how you can bring those same ideas into your own home, whether you own or rent. We’re calling out the common offenders, from quarter rounds and orange-peel walls to flat finishes and basic flooring, and showing you how to bring charm, character, and soul back into a space through color, lighting, scale, and art. And you don’t have to spend a fortune to make your home feel expensive. Learning a few DIY skills, shopping Facebook Marketplace, and finding treasures at thrift stores can help you create a space that feels high end.  Watch our Europe vlog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdWlxsxktdw Follow along wherever you get your podcasts and leave us a five-star review.

Oprah said once woman can’t have it all… and now, I agree with her! Episode 31 is the realistic power power-parent pep talk you didn’t know you needed! We tackle the question: How do you balance being a parent with being a person outside of parenting. We open up about the weight of the mental load, mom brain, the never-ending to-do list, and the challenge of making space for ourselves while raising kids. We love what we do, and our work gives us a huge outlet for creativity, but we’ve had to accept that we simply can’t make as many videos as we did before kids, and that’s okay! We’re learning to move the goalposts, embrace this season of life, and remind ourselves that it won’t last forever. Because while parenting can make it harder to find time for the things that make us feel like us, being a parent really is the greatest gift.We’d love to hear from other parents… What have you learned along the way?

Just as we hit 1 million subscribers, Kate had a hair disaster that left her half bald and changed the course of her personal style for years. Tess joins for episode 29 in which we share a crazy story time with a bit of Mr.Kate lore! We kept this story private from the internet until now, but if you look back at our old videos, you can spot all the ways we tried to disguise it: wigs, hats, headbands, hairstyles… you name it! While it was devastating at the time, it eventually led to something that became an iconic part of Kate’s look: the pink hair!  If you were in Kate’s shoes, what would you have done?
