Good Morning, Scoop Troop. Yes, I finally decided on a name for newsletter subscribers, but this is subject to change if I think of something better. Or, if you guys think of something better, reply to the newsletter, and I can be the judge of that. But I like Scoop Troop because it reminds me of Goof Troop (does anyone else remember that, or am I dating myself?). Speaking of your replies, I wanted to say a huge thank you because of how sweet you all are! While I can’t individually respond to every one of your emails, I do read them and love learning about where you're from and how my channel has helped you. I also get a chuckle over what design trends you hate, which is sort of what I’m talking about today (design trends I hate, not ones that you do, but maybe that could be a good newsletter topic for a future week so send in some more).

🧐 In My Opinion…

Pass On These Trendy Decor Items

I know I've said this before, but I feel I need to reiterate to the people in the back: NO MORE MUSHROOMS! You know I get it, I get it. We want to live in the Italian countryside and just eat pasta and bathe in the summer sun, and the mushrooms get us closer to that feeling because they signal this cottage-core, agricultural lifestyle. But you know what? They actually don’t. Most of the time they just look cheaply made and juvenile.
