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.

What a wonderful conversation you’re about to hear with my guest, Kacie Cope. She’s a designer and now a shop owner in Pittsburgh with an obvious passion for home. And by “home” I mean the creation of experiences, not the walls themselves. We talk about how to afford buying things that are handmade, artisan designed, and well-crafted and how we can shift our thinking to uncover their actual value. And we also talk about the realities of budget constraints and taking our time with what we fill our homes with. She’s a great storyteller and I think you’re going to love her.

My guest today is Jessica Shaw, The Director of Interiors for the Turrett Collaborative.

When furniture prompts us to be contemplative with Angie West and Alberto Velez of Refractory Feb 06, 2023

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

When was the last time your table prompted you to think about big life questions? Do you have a candle holder that doesn’t just illuminate with a little flame but demands you become meditative when lit? This is how I think of the furniture designed and made by my two guests today.
Angie West and Alberto Velez have joined forces to create a new furniture company called Refractory, where they bring together their creativity from concept to the final process of manufacturing at their foundry in Chicago. I wanted to have them on because I think for consumers, It is important to understand the skill, practice, discipline, and vision involved in making something from scratch with the hands of humans especially when we are overwhelmed with objects that are mass-produced and identical, their work, and their dedication and craftsmanship stands out as something we can all aspire to incorporate into our homes. I have to say, you really do need to check out the show notes page for this episode to see photos of the collections we refer to. So if you’re driving, at the gym, or walking the dog, go to littleyellowcouch.com, and click on Podcast when you get home. You may even want to re-listen to this episode while you’re looking at these beautiful, meaningful pieces of art.
