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.

Why Choose Natural Stone with Steve Schrenk Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

This week's interview is jam packed with information and inspiration. I'm talking with Steve Schrenk, a sculptor and media director for Polycor, the largest natural stone quarrier in North America. We cover a lot of ground, starting with Steve's training as a sculptor and then he teaches us about the different kinds of stone you might want to consider using in your own home, how to use stone as a design element, where to find it, what kinds of quarries it comes from and the environmental impact of extraction. I'm pretty sure that at least half of you are going to want to start a kitchen renovation after this. We wrap up with two of his favorite sources of inspiration, one of whom is an interior designer and the other is an installation you can visit when in you're in New York City.

A Designer Designs Her Own Home with Michelle Gage Jan 21, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guest this week is Philadelphia based interior designer, Michelle Gage. We talk about her obsession with floor plans, her time working at Anthropologie and her latest project, her dining room. We actually talk a lot about this room because not only is it fabulous to look at, Michelle wrote about the costs associated with doing a makeover of this scale. And I thought that it was so refreshing to hear honest talk about money. Toward the end, Michelle also says a few things that I think make for great mantras when needing a little design inspiration. Let me know if you can tell what I'm referring to! Ok, let's go.

A Beautifully Considered Home with Shavonda Gardner Jan 14, 2019

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Many of you have probably seen Shavonda Gardner's home on Instagram, on her blog or from the One Room Challenge. Her bold, eclectic style has had a big influence on those of us who follow her on social media. But today, we get to hear a more personal side of Shavonda. I love how she and Naomi have really taken their family values into consideration when choosing where and how they want to live. I think that's my favorite part of this interview. But, of course, we also talk about lots of fun things like tile, wallpaper and color. And, being a master gardener, she also gives us her top three house plants to start with if you're a beginner or just not having luck keeping those babies alive.

It's getting personal: Bonus Episode Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Hey y’all. I thought we had wrapped up the Style Matters podcast for 2018 last week. But then I started reflecting on the year and writing down a few thoughts about the biggest transition I’ve faced with Little Yellow Couch. Namely, becoming the sole owner/creator/chief bottle washer. And it got me thinking about trying to pull back the curtain a bit more than usual and share some of what goes on behind the scenes as an entrepreneur. I’ve never done an episode like this one. It’s personal. And it’s just me. No guests and no filter. I hope you can connect to it. And I wish you the very best end to your year and that you start 2019 with fresh eyes and an open heart.

Stripping Down the Holidays Dec 03, 2018

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

So for this installment of OTLYC (On the Little Yellow Couch), I have a very special guest... Karen Grant, my former co-host of this podcast, and dear friend, is back in the studio! And when I say studio, I mean my living room. Now, we're all in the thick of holiday season so Karen and I are going to be talking about holiday stuff. She’s doing something really creative out of town and I’m on a mission to embrace the pairing down of shopping, decorating and guilt. Ha! Yes! No more guilt when the expectations for the perfect holiday don’t yield the perfect holiday!

I'm also already looking ahead to 2019 and want you all to know that I'll be offering another Style Retreat in Feb! If you didn't know about the last one or just want to get a feel for what it was like, you can go to littleyellowcouch.com and click on Retreat News where you can see photos and hear what the participants had to say about our weekend away. Honestly, I wasn't planning on doing one again so soon, but it was such an amazing time that we didn't want to wait before offering another one. I'll once again be teaming up with interior designer Megan Pflug to host this fabulous getaway at Woodhouse Lodge in the Catskills. So, if you have people in your life who have no idea what to get you for the holidays, you might want to direct them over here to Little Yellow Couch so they can spoil you with the best present ever! Ok, so enough about that. It's time for the last episode of 2018, On The Little Yellow Couch!

Jeweled Interiors Nov 26, 2018

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

I have a lot of fun talking with my guest this week, Jewel Marlowe. I've been dying to get to know her because I could tell from her style that she's someone who would probably make me laugh. And she does not disappoint! Jewel is the blogger behind Jeweled Interiors and also works as an interior designer. She is a master of the mix, meaning she can take three objects that look like they have nothing in common and figure out how to make them all work in the same space using the magic of color, pattern and scale. And luckily she's able to share how she does this during the episode. Jewel has honed her talents over the 13 different homes that she's lived in as a military spouse. So if any of you can relate to that, this one's for you!

The Joshua Tree House Nov 19, 2018

Show notes

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guests this week are Sara & Rich Combs. A few years ago, they transplanted themselves from the bustle of San Fransisco to the quiet of Joshua Tree, California. But in giving themselves time to slow down, they have left themselves open to experiencing an intense drama of living in close proximity to their natural environment. They are now the owners of three properties there, all of which can be rented out as creative retreat spaces. Their book, “At Home in Joshua Tree: A Field Guide to Desert Living,” takes us through four lessons, or mantras, that they’ve incorporated into their work as designers since making the desert their home. In our conversation we talk about the mantras as well as the various environmental facts that have become entwined with their lifestyle and overall aesthetic. I start by asking them how the decision to move to Joshua Tree came about.
