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.

Great story. Great designer. One of those who can really express how and why he does what he does. This episode originally aired in January of 2017 and I continue to go to his portfolio over and over for my own inspiration and when I'm looking to learn something specific about design. I think you're gonna love him as much as I do!

Jen Harrison Pulls a Room Together Apr 15, 2019

Jennifer Harrison lights up a room. Or, in this case, she's lighting up our earbuds. When we first met Jennifer, we were pulled into her undertow of happy energy and ended the interview on such a pure high that I knew I wanted to share it again for those of you who missed it the first time. In this episode, Jennifer talks so beautifully about the design value of incorporating vintage, antique and flea market finds into your home. She's the founder of the online shop Flea Market Fab, which you'll be jumping out of your skin to go check out as soon as this is over. But best of all is probably toward the very end where, completely off the cuff, Jennifer paints a picture of how she pulls a room together, starting with a single piece and imagining all of the different furniture and accessories she'd use. So good. Here she is.

Life Goals with Anne Sage Apr 08, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

One of my favorite books on design, and one that's had a lot of influence on how I think about helping clients with figuring out their aesthetic, is by Anne Sage and it's called Sage Living. In this episode, which originally aired in 2016, we talk with Anne about her realization that her home could be a source of support as she was making a major life transition. She talks candidly about her personal life and how her professional life has taken many different turns, with the ups and downs all of us can relate to. I think you're going to get a lot out of this episode when it comes to connecting the dots between how you want to feel and how your home can foster your goals.

Get Creative with LIz Kamarul Apr 01, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

This is a re-release of our episode with designer Liz Kamarul, originally recorded in the summer of 2017. We talk about her stunning home in Portland OR that she was leaving behind to spend several months traveling around the country in an RV that she and her husband had just started to renovate. Since then Liz has settled in New Orleans, working her style magic from there. I wanted to re-release this episode because I think Liz's "just do it" and "why not" approach to decorating is a good reminder to all of us to lighten up and let our homes be incubators for our creativity. Here we go.

Get Organized with Peter Walsh Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

This week starts a 5 episode series of re-released interviews from the archives. First up is our interview with organizational guru, Peter Walsh, which we aired almost exactly three years ago in April, 2016. I first saw Peter on Oprah's show and I still cut out the articles he writes for O Magazine. What I loved about him then is that he helped people get organized from the inside-out and in a soulful way. I mean, that's totally Oprah, right? Now, I love him even more because he's so kind and approachable in real life. Or, at least, on the phone. One of these days, I'll meet him in person and have him autograph a to-do list or a storage bin or something. Anyway, maybe you know him from the two TV shows where he's been front and center: Extreme Clutter and Clean Sweep. Or maybe you've read one of his many books, my favorite being "Does this Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?" Peter is very entertaining and highly quotable, dropping wisdom bombs all over the place. If you haven't been in his orbit until now, you're in for some great advice. And, I figured, with the warm weather just starting to come around, you might be in the mood for some Spring Cleaning. And this episode is the best place to get started!

It's called "My Bedroom Is An Office, and Other Interior Design Dilemmas). I'm gonna tell you all about what makes this book so useful once I've got Joanna on the line. But for now, I'll just say that during our conversation, we cover things like choosing the right white (cuz you know there are about 50 million paint choices out there), when creating a feature wall is actually ok, how to mix up different styles, the first thing you should do when you walk into your new home And the answer to the question, "how will I know when I'm done?"

Living Beautifully Isn't A Luxury with Ingrid Fetell Lee Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guest this week is author Ingrid Fetell Lee. She's just written a book called "Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness." And let me tell, you, I read it a few months ago and I can't stop thinking about it! It's not an interior design book and yet it has given me so many ideas and so much inspiration for continuing to create a home I love. Ingrid followed her curiosity for 10 years before putting pen to paper. She wanted to figure out why certain objects or environments illicit a spontaneous, immediate feeling of joy and why. And I think you can relate to this because I assume that one of the main reasons you listen to this podcast is because, just like me, you do a crazy happy dance when you find the perfect score at an antiques show, or a new artist whose work you can afford, or some new fabric or color you can bring home with you... I think you'll find Ingrid's line of questioning really interesting. Why do these things make us feel the way we do and why does it matter? On top of that, is our love of things completely materialistic or is there some important good that can come from our purchases. Ingrid makes me feel like I'm some kind of reporter on NPR because of how deep we go into sociology, psychology and design... and because of how smart she is. So I hope you get a lot out of this interview because I sure did! Here we go.

Raising Chickens and Making Cocktails with Kate Richards Mar 04, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

So this week's episode is not as much directly related to interior design as they usually are. But, it's still ultimately about how our environments and the atmosphere we create is connected to a life well lived. My guest is Kate Richards of the blog, Drinking With Chickens. Now, if you already follow Kate, you know she's a ton of fun and that her home and, more importantly, her backyard are well worth taking a look at for their design appeal. She hosts some amazing outdoor parties, complete with pet chickens for entertainment, and her photos are both funny and beautiful. So you'll get plenty of visual inspiration if you take a look at the show notes page this week. But for this interview, we mostly talk about the lifestyle Kate has created for herself, her husband and their friends who come over, which probably happens all the time. She is a great reminder that the reason why style matters is ultimately for the pure joy it gives us and those we love. So... here we go.

What to Expect from an Interior Designer Abbie Naber Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Today is for all of you who are thinking about hiring someone to help you furnish or decorate your home. You might be considering a full on, top to bottom, in person interior designer, or someone who simply works with you online to give you some ideas and sources that you then implement yourself, or someone like me and some of my past guests who act as consultants to help give shape to your own vision. In any of these cases, I thought it would be helpful to know what to look for when hiring someone because you're going to be plunking down some cash before you get the service. So let's minimize the chances of disappointment! My guest this week is Abbie Naber of A Naber Design and she's giving us her tips in how to best work with someone else, especially if you don't share the same language around style. We then talk about her own home, which is outstanding, and her goal of seamless living between the outside and inside, which you really want to take advantage of if you live in Southern California. And given the fact that as I record this, I'm in the dead cold of winter in New England, that sounds pretty great to me right now.

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guest this week is Anthony D’Argenzio. He launched his art direction company Zio & Sons in New York City before moving to Hudson, NY where he’s now the owner of This Old Hudson, a work and living space open for photo shoots and travelers wishing to stay in a beautifully styled setting while visiting the Hudson Valley region. I talk with him about the renovation of the property, the aesthetic he’s created there and how he goes about mixing and layering texture, style and materials in a space. If you haven’t seen photos of This Old Hudson, you can do so on the Little Yellow Couch website. And believe me, you’re going to want to know what we’re referring to as we talk about his incredible kitchens!
