On this episode fan favorite, interior designer Don Richards is back once again! Zen Friends have written in with their home decorating dilemmas and Don has answers. Don will answer three different listener questions including, grandparents who needs a solution to a room in a home that they will sell in the next two years, a newly single mom who has a brand new rental home and a mom with a large family room that she would like to make more visually appealing as well as cozy and functional. Don is on a mission to make home decor affordable for everyone. And in this episode Don will talk about how to get a bargain on Facebook Market Place, how to find designer deals at Target, the least amount of money you should spend for a well made couch as well as what to look for on Amazon.

Don's Bio: Consumed by architecture, design, and home since childhood, Don graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia with a degree in Historic Preservation. For the last thirty years, his obsession with home has seen him in the worlds of interior design, visual merchandising, and real estate. A Litchfield County native, Don has designed spaces in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and Florida, while vowing never again to work in NYC because of elevator constraints. Can a sofa be disassembled and put back together? The answer is yes. Should it be? LOL, the answer is no. He believes the key to a space being home is personality and quirk. Try and think outside the box with vintage and unique. Look toward the architectural style of the property and let that guide you. If you love it, it will usually work. Just no 75'' flat screens, please. Don is passionate about BLTs, turtlenecks, and his orange tabby, Ernest. Not necessarily in that order.
