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.

This episode has a little bit of everything in it and that's because my guest, Liz Solms, is a multi-passionate person, to borrow a term from my friend, Desha Peacock. She has built quite a rich and rewarding life for herself and I ask her about her career throughout our conversation. I was interested in interviewing Liz because she has woven together food, hospitality and design in a way that we haven't talked about on the podcast before. What I hope you come away with from this episode is the motivation to go look for creative inspiration from your travels, from sharing a beautiful meal with friends, or from taking the time to really notice the details in a historic building. Because our ideas for decorating our homes can't just come from retailers! They have to come from experiences. Toward the end of the interview, we talk about her projects in Philadelphia and I had the absolute privilege of meeting Liz and staying in an apartment she designed while I was there. It's not just that it was beautifully designed. Staying there was an experience in and of itself that has really made a lasting impact since my visit 3 months ago. I have a lot of photos to share with you from this trip, so be sure to look for those on the show notes page of this episode at littleyellowcouch.com and I'll post some videos on Instagram and IGTV!

Clear and critical thinking. You don’t always get that when talking about the world of interiors. It’s not just about a pretty picture, folks. Creative and thoughtful design can’t be underestimated and there isn’t enough of it these days. Sophie Donelson, former Editor-In-Chief of House Beautiful brought her keen eye to the pages of this magazine in a way that we all will miss. Luckily I got to talk with her before she left to pursue other things. And I can’t wait to see what she’s up to next!

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

You might know Myquillyn Smith as “The Nester,” or as the author of “The Nesting Place,” her first book, and the name of her popular blog. She has long subscribed to the belief that “it doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful,” to which I say, Amen! Well, she’s just come out with her second book, “Cozy, Minimalist Home,” in which she promises that you can still have plenty of style, but with less stuff. You may already love how she writes, but once you hear her voice, you’ll instantly feel her warmth and generosity of spirit. We laugh a lot during this interview and I hope you’ll feel like you’re right here in the room with us! Myquillyn shares how she went from being a maximalist to a minimalist, but still kept her home from feeling slick, soul-less and cold. And, best of all, she gives us several of the guidelines she uses when making big decisions such as buying furniture, to small decisions, such as what to put on your mantel. So, after you get on board with the philosophy of embracing imperfection, get ready to make some decisions on how you want your home to serve you.

Wendy Morrison Oct 15, 2018

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

My guest this week is artist and rug designer Wendy Morrison. I first learned of Wendy's rugs through Sarah Akwisombe, who we interviewed awhile ago. Sarah is fearless when it comes to design and she's always looking to stretch herself beyond whatever's currently trending. And Wendy's rugs certainly do push us to be bold and go for what speaks to us, personally. Wendy shares how she got started with rugs, having no idea how they would change the direction of her life. She also explains a little bit about how rugs are made and then we wrap up with Wendy taking us through the symbolism she uses in her designs that give her rugs rich and layered narratives. This episode in particular really needs to be seen as well as heard so that you can fully understand the impact that her rugs can have on a space. So I highly encourage you to check out the photos on the show notes page. Just go to the podcast section on the website, littleyellowcouch.com.

Alessandra Wood Oct 08, 2018

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

If Mad Men and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel had a baby, and pitched it to Netflix for a new TV series, you’d have a handle on this week’s epsiode. If you're not following me, let me explain. My guest is Alessandra Wood and she is going to give us the most interesting history lesson you've heard in a long time! Her dissertation for her PhD was essentially about the influence mid-20th century department stores have had on our personal style choices, for our homes and our clothing (think consumer psychology behind advertising in Mad Men) and pair that with the highly fashionable world of B. Altman in New York, circa 1950 (where Midge Maisel works) and that’s the intersection where today’s conversation resides! We also touch on where we are today when it comes to interior design and how our style is a reflection of, and reaction to, broad cultural forces. It's a great conversation and I hope you'll find it as fascinating as I have! We start out talking about Alessandra's rather high-tech role in the online design company, Modsy and by the end we hear how she has used her training as a historian in a most contemporary way.

Miv Watts Oct 01, 2018

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Are you a maverick when it comes to your home? Or, to be more clear, does your home represent your soul and the life you’ve lived rather than a particular style category? Interior designer and author Miv Watts explores the homes of people who “decorate” in just this way. In her new book, “The Maverick Soul: Portraits of the Lives and Homes of Eccentric, Eclectic and Free-Spirited Bohemians,” Miv takes us through spaces that deeply reflect the creative lives of their owners. Miv herself started her career as a window dresser for Burberry before launching into set design for films, which took her all over the world. I have learned so much from talking with Miv. She can spark your creative imagination and commitment to being true to yourself like no one else. This episode is truly packed with so much goodness, I can’t wait for you to soak it up with me!

Have you ever wondered what exactly it is that a Prop Stylist does? My guest is Heather Bullard who does prop styling and art direction for a number of different magazines and brands. By the end of this interview, you'll have a better understanding of what that means! She talks with us about the importance of sometimes getting away from the very images she creates so that we can remain true to our own, individual tastes and not be quite so influenced by social media. She shares with us her own source of inspiration and how her style has evolved over the years.

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

In this episode of the Style Matters podcast, I interview Donna Garlough, Style Director for Joss & Main and author of the new book, "Your Home, Your Style: How to Find Your Look and Create Rooms You Love." What I love about this book is how practical it is! Donna is really good at breaking down some of the more "mysterious" aspects of creative design. She does this by having you start with an inventory of sorts. She refers to it as figuring out your design disposition. It takes into consideration how you approach things--how you tend to make decisions, how you take in and process information, where your comfort zone is--things like that. After she takes you through the different design dispositions and outlines the 5 things you'll need to consider for every style decision you make, there are all of these little "ah ha" moments sprinkled throughout the book. It's so helpful! Ok, let's get started.

I'm delighted to talk with the founders of Hygee & West, Aimee Lagos and Christiana Coop. If you haven't heard of them, they are a wallpaper company, one of my personal favorites, actually. Recently, the've expanded into printing some of their wallpaper lines onto fabric AND they've just written their first book called, "Hygee & West Home: Design for a Cozy Life." In this interview we get to hear about how wallpaper is made, what their own homes look like, and why they think wallpaper is such a powerful design choice.
