I'm sorry, I have to get back to their latest podcast, which I finally got around to listening to yesterday.
Lily must be one most the least self aware people I know. She contradicts herself so many times and says smart sounding advice that does not apply to her at all. Examples:
- Says that you shouldn't hate anyone's decor because everyone has their own taste (of course uses to defend her own choices) – later calls the interiors of her house before the renovation "disgusting"
- Apparently she wants Rich to have more of an opinion with house stuff – does not let him have his own desk while working from home and only agreed to getting a Peloton when she wanted to have one
- All the choices in the house were made with kids in mind – there is absolutely no play area for one toddler, let alone several kids
- Says that they went for timeless, not trendy choices because this is not their forever home and they might need to sell it in a few years – um, has she seen her house?
- Mentions that she regrets not using an architect but then immediately follows that nothing would've been different even if they'd had one. It seems that she really regrets some major choices they made (I'm guessing the layout downstairs with the huge non-useable runway) but does not want to admit that so she only mention really trivial stuff, like the grout color being too light.
She really is clueless. Also, Anna mentions several times that they're really having trouble with the damp and that they cannot do anything with the house before that is sorted. Rather than offering much sympathy or advice, Lily only mentions that she is envious of Anna because the interiors of her house are great for filming and Instagram pictures. Yeah, because that is the most important thing. Explains why they didn't replace the windows when they had the chance.
