    It was a lovely compilation of picturesque examples that gave vision to the narrative and done in a professional and cosy way... BUT and it really is a dinger for me as I know some of the people who put the 'hard-yard-work' into a variety of those rooms, and while not necessary to credit each one - it would be respectful to have that in your show notes. If you have, and I didn't see it within a link- I do apologise.
