Cousins, Not Sisters. How do you design two rooms that feel connected without making them look identical? This week on Bill to...etc., Dina, Ariana, and Alex are breaking down the art of designing rooms with direct sightlines, especially in traditional New England homes where living rooms, dining rooms, and foyers are often visually connected. From mixing patterns and coordinating color palettes to choosing rugs, lighting, and finishes, the team shares their approach to giving each room its own personality while maintaining a cohesive design. Plus, Dina reveals the Honey & Fitz Interiors 3, 2, 1 formula: three things that connect the rooms, two things that make them different, and one subtle detail that bridges them together. Because connecting rooms should feel like cousins, not sisters. Related, but never identical.

Spoiler alert: Interior design is a whole lot more than picking pretty fabrics and wallpaper. This week on Bill to...etc., Dina and Ariana welcome fellow Honey & Fitz Interiors designer Alex to break down what actually goes on inside a designer's brain. (Hint: it never shuts off.) From the first home visit, they're analyzing everything. Measurements, proportions, furniture placement, flow, and how a family actually uses their space. Because before the pretty things come the practical things.

The three share their different approaches, real project challenges, and the countless decisions that go into making a space both beautiful and functional. Turns out, there's a whole lot of math behind making it all look effortless.

Even interior designers have design regrets. This week, Dina and Ariana are looking back at the design decisions they’d rather forget. The trends they’ve outgrown, the choices they weren’t confident enough to question, the risks they wish they had taken, and the pieces still living in their homes as evidence.

From Ari’s questionable early relationship decor to the things Dina would never do again, they’re breaking down how personal style evolves with confidence, experience, and a few mistakes along the way. Because sometimes you have to look back and ask: What was I thinking?

Design Court is officially in session. You submitted your biggest at-home design debates, and Dina and Ariana are ready to weigh in. Quartz or marble with small children? Keep the formal dining room or turn it into an office? Wallpaper the powder room ceiling? And how much leopard print is too much? According to Ari: never enough.

From couples who can’t agree to design decisions that have divided the household, Dina and Ari are taking sides and handing down their verdicts.

Whose side are you on?

Construction is expensive, and the pretty stuff comes later. In this episode of Bill to...etc, we’re breaking down the real cost of construction and renovation, from the foundation and framing to the layers of a home that have to be addressed before you ever choose the wallpaper or lighting.

As interior designers, we live and breathe this industry, so we know what materials, trades, and labor typically cost—and here’s the reality check: labor is often the biggest line item. We’re adding it all up to reveal what a real renovation can cost in our area. Don’t kill the messenger—this is what the numbers look like. And when we reveal the final total? You might be the only one shocked. What does construction cost where you live? Let us know.

The Belmont Project is complete, and we’re taking you behind the scenes of one of our most cherished full-service design projects. After working alongside this family for several years, we created a home that reflects how each member lives, gathers, and connects. In this episode of Bill to...etc, we’re sharing the design journey behind the finished spaces, from evolving presentations to the details and decisions that shaped each room.

Plus, we’re revealing spaces you’ve never seen in our portfolio. Because the finished room is only half the story. The design journey is where the good stuff happens.

The secret is out: Dina is a divorcee, and she couldn’t be happier. In this episode of Bill to...etc, Ariana sits down with Dina to ask the questions Honey & Fitz fans have been dying to ask. Dina gets candid about her “why,” rediscovering who she is, prioritizing her kids and her own happiness, and stepping into this next chapter as a confident woman approaching 50.

Then we get to the fun part: dating. Dina shares her standards, her very own dating point system, her best and worst dates, and some of the most outrageous dating profiles we’ve encountered. It’s honest, funny, eye-opening, and probably a little too relatable. Buckle up.Follow Us!

Let's talk about the reality of interior design. No, your home won't be finished in a 30-second Instagram Reel or a single HGTV episode. Great design takes time, collaboration, and a whole lot of decisions. Dina and Ari break down realistic project timelines, budgets, and why clients play just as important a role in moving a project forward—from approving selections to making timely decisions. Spoiler alert: beautiful homes aren't rushed. They're built with patience.

Ari bought a new house... and inherited the smell of wet dogs. After searching for the perfect home, every showing seemed to come with a catch: higher prices, smaller spaces, and some interesting odors. When she and her husband finally found "the one," they signed on the dotted line and started their next chapter—only to discover the house came with an unexpected roommate: the lingering scent of sweaty dogs. Tune in for the hilarious (and painfully relatable) reality of buying a home, moving, and what happens after closing day.

What are we wearing these days... and who decided we had to dress our age? Dina and Ari dive into personal style, investment pieces, Pinterest inspiration (and disappointment), and why something always looks better on her. From preppy phases to "colorful, impractical, c*nty," they talk about embracing what feels good, ignoring the weather, and how their evolving style has even influenced the way they design interiors.

Pinterest made you do it. In this episode, Dina and Ari tackle the gap between Pinterest dreams and real-life budgets, timelines, and decision-making. They share why clients often don't know what they actually like until they're deep in the design process, and why working with an interior designer is basically a year-long relationship. Equal parts design, psychology, and a little reality check.

Hiring an interior designer is basically dating... with a little couples therapy thrown in. In this episode, Dina and Ari share why great design starts with getting to know their clients—their routines, quirks, relationships, and yes, even the occasional household debate. Turns out designing your home is just as much about psychology as it is about paint colors and furniture. Come for the design talk, stay for the client "therapy" sessions.
