Description

I'm bringing back the Healthy Home Design podcast with The Q&A Sessions.

These are questions that the audience is asking about anything design and build related. It was orginally intended for Instagram, but my answers were getting a bit too long. So I decided to do a shortened version of the answer on Instagram, then post the more thorough answer here on the podcast.

If you have a question you'd like me to answer, send it to kate@balancedarchitecture.com or comment on a post in Instagram, or send a DM to me in Instagram.
