Slow Style Home: Decorating Personal, Meaningful Interiors

You want a home that’s uniquely you. One that reflects your passions, values and lifestyle. And you want to create one on your own, without having to hire a designer, breaking the bank, or hurting the planet. The challenge is that there are too many voices telling you what trend to jump on, what rules you must follow, and what “beautiful” looks like. Plus, you don’t want to scrap everything you own and start all over. It’s hard to know how to wrap your arms around this big, important concept called “home!” On this podcast, you’ll learn from the experts exactly why some rooms work (and others don’t), how to master a mix of styles and preferences when you have a bunch of them jumbled together, and inspiration for being brave and taking the creation of your dream home into your own hands.

Want me to stop in your hometown on the book tour? Leave me a message with your thoughts on where I should hold an event (a bookshop, gallery, antiques store, garden, historic home, etc ), and your contact info.

Building a Design Empire with Annie Selke Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

I am delighted to introduce you to the woman behind the rug and and linen brands Dash & Albert and Pinecone Hill. Annie Selke is a true powerhouse of an entrepreneur and she’s also a lovely human being. I remember when I first first encountered her Dash & Albert rugs, years ago, when I was poking around in specialty home decor shops in Maine. I thought to myself, wow, those are not fun and colorful, I’ll be they will also stand the test of time. And I was right! Annie’s aesthetic is classic and timeless and elegant, but it’s also really, really fun. Fast forward to this interview and my visit to meet her and her staff at her headquarters in Lenox, MA. Her staff, by the way, love her, which says a lot about any business owner. We met in her office and toured her warehouses and I also got to stay in her beautiful inn, decked out with all of her fabrics.

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Kim Gordon is a designer, an artist and a business woman and best of all she’s incredibly talented when it comes to designing dream homes. Not the kind of dream homes that are filled with luxury items, necessarily, but the kind of dream homes that really fulfill us in an emotional way, a creative way, and even a spiritual way. Kim doesn’t shy away from the mystical, and get ready for that, because what I mean is that she connects your deepest desires with your intention for your home. And then I’m telling you that everything just sort of works out magically in other areas of your life so I’m very excited to share her with you.

A Year of Knots with Windy Chien Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Windy Chien is an artist with several past lives which means she's one of those people you can relate to because her path in life hasn't been a straight line. She's done many things, tried many things, had ups and downs, all before landing where she is today. And speaking of straight lines, her medium as an artist has everything to do with lines... and more specifically, with the knots she creates out of those lines. Windy Chen has just come out with a book, The Year Of Knots, detailing her 365 day long project where she challenged herself to learn and perfect one new knot a day and record her progress on Instagram. I was blown away by the end result when I saw a video of her final art installation.

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

I’m really excited to introduce you to a new book written by my guests, Jill Singer and Monica Khemsurov. It’s called "How To Live With Objects," and it’s a compilation of many things: their philosophy and approach to design; a primer that introduces us to history and context around specific objects and schools of design; and an inspirational coffee table book that showcases the homes of people who have really developed a very personal point of view, aesthetically. If you are passionate about interiors, you need this book in your library. Here’s my conversation with Jill Singer and Monica Khemsurov, authors of "How to Live With Objects."

A Journey Through Design With Newell Turner May 29, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

It is my great privilege to introduce you to my guest today. Newell Turner is a bit of a legend when it comes to design and journalism. He’s responsible for the formation of the entire Hearst magazine editorial division, heading up three big shelter publications: Elle Decor, House Beautiful, and Veranda magazines. He’s just released a gorgeous new book called "Mexican: A Journey Through Design," which showcases not only his own photography but also his obvious love for his adopted country. The book is one you want to sink into and absorb the colors, textures, and exquisite details of various design eras throughout Mexico's history. But, if I do say so myself, this conversation with Newell is a pretty good companion piece because of how warm and candid he is. This has definitely been one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done. Let's get to it.

Understanding and Applying Feng Shui with Anjie Cho May 22, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guest today is Anjie Cho, designer and author of “Mindful Homes: Create Healing Living Spaces with Mindfulness and Feng Shui.” What makes Anjie and her book so helpful is that she explains the principles of this ancient Chinese approach to creating spaces in a way that we can use in our modern lives and contemporary homes. Even if you’re skeptical about alternative medicine (and Feng Shui is kind of like a diagnostic and curative plan for our homes), you’re going to get something out of this episode. And that’s because Anjie understands that not all of Feng Shui needs to be applied literally. Without spoiling it any further, let’s get started with Anjie.

Creating a Home On Wheels With Dee Campling May 15, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

This is such a delightful episode thanks to my guest, stylist Dee Campling. She’s just come out with a book called “Camper Heaven: Van Life on the Open Road.” And if you’re imagining hippies living in VW buses back in the 70s, you won’t believe how that lifestyle has evolved! Dee shares the many ways and reasons people are creating these homes on wheels, from decked-out ski chalet-style horse trailers to modest but beautiful, portable weekend vacation spots. But what’s so great is Dee’s enthusiasm for the whole endeavor. She’s so wonderful to talk with that you’re going to be inspired to buy a camper van by the end of this episode! Here’s Dee.

Creating Rooms That Are Both Energizing and Calming With Sara Hillery May 08, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guest today is Sara Hillery, a designer in Richmond, VA. One of her great talents, in my opinion, is her ability to mix the qualities of elegance, something that’s been a hallmark of southern homes for decades, with a feeling of energy. In other words, she is able to combine youthfulness with wisdom and grace, as well as a maximalist’s penchant for detail with the sensibilities of minimalism. You’ll have to go to the show notes page on our website to really see what I’m talking about after you hear the conversation!

Antiquing With The Queen of Flea Markets, Ki Nassauer May 01, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

We’ve had Ki Nassauer on the show before—a couple of times, actually—and that’s because she loves antiquing, thrifting, repurposing, and collecting anything vintage. And if you know me and my Slow Style approach to decorating our homes, you know that I think that every house and every room really needs to have at least one thing that’s from a different era than the one we’re living in. Ki has spent her career working in media all around filling our homes with antiques and is currently the editor-in-chief of the online magazine, Lived-In Style. I highly recommend you subscribe to it, by the way. What we're talking about today is her beautiful new book, which is also called Lived-in Style." Let’s get started.
