Here they are: the show notes for Episode #18 of Young House Love Has A Podcast. Is the podcast officially an adult now? Can it leave home and get a tattoo without asking our permission? (We ponder that quietly.) This week, Design*Sponge founder Grace Bonney joins us to talk about what 12 years of design blogging have taught her about personal style, the evolving internet, and why the idea of “work-life balance” feels outdated. We also pull back the curtain on our new coloring book, get design tips from a surprisingly cheeky source, and discuss the strange curse that has followed John this year. Plus, learn how we’re cutting down on unwanted mail from the postman.
