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.

Home is More Than Shelter with Extreme Makeover Home Edition Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Breegan Jane and Carrie Locklyn are two awesome people who are also pretty humble, considering what they're doing with their lives these days. They make up two-thirds of the design team behind HGTV's reboot of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. And I was really taken with how much they talked about feeling gratitude towards the people whose homes they are transforming, as well as a deep sense of purpose and connection they are experiencing with their team and the volunteers who help them in every town they visit. This is such an uplifting conversation that goes way beyond talk of design, but it's certainly rooted in the premise that all people, regardless of life circumstance, deserve to live inside beauty. On a side note, their 3rd partner on the show, designer Darren Keefe Reiher was supposed to join us as well, but was having tech difficulties so we, unfortunately missed hearing his voice in the conversation. But when you watch Extreme Makeover, you definitely see how integral he is to the magic of the show.

Leaning In to the Outrageous with Divine Savages Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Joining me today are Jamie Watkins and Tom Kennedy of Divine Savages. Together they produce lines of wallpaper and fabric that are both a bit outrageous in terms of color, pattern, and even subject matter, but with such attention paid to the smallest detail that when you look close there's a delicate beauty to their designs as well. We'll talk about the patterns themselves and their recent collaboration with the Natural History Museum in London, the first time ever that the Museum has sold wallpaper based on their rarified collection. We'll also get a peek inside Tom & Jamie's home, which they use as a bit of a laboratory for ideas. I'm now dying to meet these guys in person because you can tell they'd be fabulous hosts and we'd have a lot of fun together. I think you're going to want to meet them too!

Many of you may already be familiar with my guest this week. Melissa Michaels is the blogger behind The Inspired Room and author of many books, my favorites being "Love The Home You Have," and "Make Room For What You Love." She has just come out with a new book, "But Where Do I Put The Couch? Answers to 100 Other Home Decorating Questions," which she co-authored with KariAnne Wood. I had the pleasure of meeting KariAnne at a conference several years ago and then had her on the show. So I was delighted to see that she was pairing up with Melissa Michaels. And since I've wanted to have Melissa on the show for years, I was thrilled when we got he on the calendar. Let's get started.

Living and Decorating with Books: Nina Freudenberger Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Nina Freudenberger of Haus Interior joins me today to talk all about books. Now, if you're someone who reads voraciously, you're going to love this conversation. I, for one, literally can't fall asleep without reading and when I finish a book and don't have a new one to start right away, I go into a slight panic. I'm sure many of you can relate! So I was super excited to find Nina's new book, "Bibliostyle: How We Live At Home With Books," because she marries two of my personal passions: reading and home. In her book, she answers the question, does the way we display our books tell as much about who we are as the books themselves. I think you're going to love it!

Understanding Color with Rockett St George Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guest is one half of the partnership behind Rockett St George, which is a fanciful interiors shop that has a home in Liberty's of London as well as an extensive inventory online. Jane Rockett, along with Lucy St George, have taken their passion for all things home and written two great books on "Extraordinary Interiors," the newest one being all about color. In this conversation, Jane explains the two ingredients that make up color confidence: one is understanding how the color wheel works, and the other is understanding color theory rules so that you can break them intentionally if needed, to be true to yourself. I've included a color wheel and definitions of different schemes on the show notes page.
