Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
Emma Carole Paradis is one half of the design power-duo, Impeccable Nest. But her other half in the case, isn't just a business partner or a spouse, it's her mom, Kimberly Carole! And you're about to hear their story. You'll also hear us talking a lot about art. And rugs. And art. Because it turns out, both Emm and I belive that rugs and art are key to pulling a room together! There's so much in this interview that I resonate with, in fact, it was kind of surreal as we were talking because Emma kept saying things that are perfectly aligned with the master the mix course! Obviously, I've found a kindred spirit. Let's go!

Free Your Home with Russell and Jordan of 2LG
25 mei 2020 · 45 min
Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead met as professional actors in London. And we talk a bit about their careers in that world, which is really interesting. But then they made a big life change, together, to enter the world of design. And their book, Making Living Lovely: Free Your Home with Creative Design is about exactly that. How to free yourself up from any expectations of perfect homes so that you actually create a home that works very specifically for you. As I say in the beginning of our conversation, there just aren't that many design books out there talking about this stuff and really connecting the goals you have for the kind of person you want to be with the interior of your home environment. And as a side note, their sweet dog, Buckley, makes an appearance a few times. So yes, you'll hear some barking. But hey, we're all working from home these days with dogs and humans who aren't usually in our space, so I figured you'd just roll with it.

Perfection Isn't the Goal with Myquillyn Smith
27 april 2020 · 44 min
Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
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.

Your Home Needs Art! with Danielle Krysa
13 april 2020 · 39 min
Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
Hello and welcome to the Style Matters podcast, brought to you by Little Yellow Couch. I'm Zandra, your host, and I'm so glad you're here but you've caught us during a break! That doesn't mean you should tune out, though, because during this break, I'm re-releasing some of my all time favorite episodes from the archives! And today, you'll hear from someone who really helps us understand why and how to bring original art into our homes. Danielle Krysa is an artist herself, she's also written several books about art and creativity, and she's the magician behind the very popular blog, The Jealous Curator, where she introduces us to and champions other artists, many of whom, you might want to bring into your home yourself. This episode was first released in 2016 and included my co-host, Karen Grant, so you'll hear her voice along with mine and Danielle's. If you're interested in checking out what she does, you can find links to her sites on the show notes page of these re-released episodes at littleyellowcouch.com. On a side note, I'd really like to encourage you to think about brining artwork that feels personal and meaningful to you into your home, even during this time of crisis. There are lots of ways to find artists online and support them while we're all stuck inside and not able to go to galleries or art fairs. Hopefully the corono-virus will not be taking over our lives for too much longer but we really don't know, do we? So my other purpose in re-releasing this and all of these older episodes is to give you something fun and inspirational to listen to and think about. I'll be back with all new interviews starting May 4th. Ok, let's jump back in time and hear what Danielle Has to say.

Home is More Than Shelter with Extreme Makeover Home Edition
23 maart 2020 · 21 min
Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
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

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!

Living and Decorating with Books: Nina Freudenberger

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
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!

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.

Well, it's still January and I don't know about you, but I'm still bathing the glow of a new year, clean slate and my own motivation to make changes and follow through on some resolutions, before I lose steam! In the spirit of setting goals for the year, I thought it might be helpful to walk you through my free worksheet on creating a Style Manifesto for yourself and your home. If you don't already have a copy, you can grab it by going to the show notes page for this episode, or just going to the homepage, which is littleyellowcouch.com, and clicking on "Your Style Manifesto" at the top.

Declutter & Organize with Monica Leed
6 januari 2020 · 41 min
Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
Monica Leed of Simply Spaced, a pro organizer and author of the new book, also called Simply Spaced, said to me that organization is not a once and done kind of thing. And I think I've been kind of assuming it was. In other words, I've been telling myself that if I set up the Right system, with the Right tools and the Right bins, file folders and compartmentalized drawer inserts, I'll never have to organize or declutter anything ever again. And if I do, that means the system I've set up must be wrong. But Monica reminded me that there's this thing called Life that happens. Unexpected paperwork, gifts we may or may not want, tools for project we didn't plan on having to do... and so we didn't know we needed to create a space for them. So of course we're going to have to revisit our organizational systems. And that's ok. Permission given to go back to the drawing board and re-do stuff. In the rest of the episode we cover things such as how a good decluttering is growth for the soul, how getting organized is empowering, how to agree with your spouse or partner on what "neat and tidy" actually means, and why style is critical to staying organized.

Well, everyone, this is the last episode of the season! And we're going out with Rebecca Gardner, owner of the interiors and event planning company Houses & Parties. She's known for her over-the-top events and her signature style of mixing high-end, top-of-the-line decor with a funny, unexpected playfulness that allows everyone to relax, even in the most formal of settings. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Harpers Bazzar, Town & Country, Southern Living and Architectural Digest. I found her when I was flipping through the latest issue of Veranda Magazine and I could tell right from her photo that she must be the most gracious, fun-loving host. Given the holiday season we're all about to enter, I thought having her on the show to talk about parties would be helpful and inspiring. Now like said, earlier, this is my last episode of 2019. I'll be back with all new interviews starting January 6th! Ok, back to today, on our call, Rebecca and I got right to chatting and I decided to leave in the first part before the official interview started because she was telling me about a pop-up shop collaboration she's currently doing for the holidays and I wanted to make sure I got that info into the episode. There's a link to it in the show notes page. Here's Rebecca.

Annie Selke: Building an Empire

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
I am delighted to introduce you to the woman behind the rug and linen brands Dash & Albert and Pinecone Hill. Annie Selke is a true powerhouse of an entrepreneur and she's also a lovely human being. I remember when I first started seeing her quintessential Dash & Albert rugs in the speciality home shops I was poking around years ago in Maine. And I thought to myself, wow, those are not only really fun and they make me smile, I bet they will also stand the test of time. And I was right! Annie's aesthetic is classic and timeless, it's elegant but also has this playfulness to it that you'll never get tired of. Fast forward to this interview, which led to spending time with Annie and her staff, who by the way love her, at her offices, warehouse and beautiful 8 bedroom historic inn in the Berkshire mountains. You'll see all kinds of videos of my trip there on Instagram so I hope you check that out. Oh, and one note, Dash & Albert, the company, was named after her two beloved dogs. They've passed on but Annie always has several dogs, some of whom are related to the original Dash & Albert, around her studio and you can hear them barking a bit in the background. Here's Annie.

Borrowing Design Ideas from an Inn in the Woods with Eliza Clark

I was introduced to this week's guest by my friend Susan Brinson of House of Brinson. I had Susan and her husband Will on the show several seasons ago and their episode is definitely one to check out if you haven't already. Anyway, I was talking to Susan about finding a venue for my next style retreat in NY and she said I absolutely had to get in touch with Eliza Clark of Foxfire Mountain House, and I am so grateful for the introduction! Eliza and her husband, Tim Trojian, have created a truly magical, 11 room inn and restaurant in the Catskill mountains. If you were to see her photos (which you can do on the show notes page), you'd understand why Eliza and I immediately hit it off and why I think you're going to be swept away, too. She is a master at mixing old and new, elegance and comfort. She and Tim have just released their book, "Foxfire Living" full of design inspiration, recipes and stories of how they restored the old inn. Today I talk with Eliza about the major risks they took in buying the place as well as some of her most interesting strategies she used to decorate it. She has so many great, creative ideas that I think you're going to want to borrow! Let's start.

Donald Rattner: Optimize Your Home for Creativity
4 november 2019 · 40 min
Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
I spend a lot of time in my retreats and on this podcast talking about how to be creative. And I'm a big proponent of an expanded definition of creativity to include creative thinking and problem solving so that we stop thinking of creativity as solely belong to artists and crafty people who emulate Martha Stewart. My guest on the show today, architect Donald Rattner, takes us way beyond the who and what definitions of creativity and focuses on the where. As in, where are we most creative and how can we set up our spaces to encourage the flow of creative thinking. In particular, he argues that our homes are actually the spaces that are most conducive to creativity. Way more than the kinds of utilitarian spaces where we've traditionally done our professional work. Donald Rattner has done a ton of research, combing through academic journals, studies and experiments that support this idea of how our built environments affect our moods, our health and ultimately, our ability to be creative. And he's gotten rid of all of the dry, academic lingo and given us a guide, with actionable steps we can take, to create a home that's primed for many more lightbulb moments. Here we go.

Windy Chien: The Year Of Knots

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
Windy Chien is an artist with several past lives which means she's one of those people you can relate to because her path in life hasn't been a straight line. She's done many things, tried many things, had ups and downs, all before landing where she is today. And speaking of straight lines, her medium as an artist has everything to do with lines... and more specifically, with the knots she creates out of those lines. Windy Chen has just come out with a book, The Year Of Knots, detailing her 365 day long project where she challenged herself to learn and perfect one new knot a day and record her progress on Instagram. I was blown away by the end result when I saw a video of her final art installation.

I'm opening up the second half of this season with a dynamic woman. Toma Clark Haines, otherwise known as The Antiques Diva, has literally built an empire. Over a decade ago, living in Paris, she started helping other ex-pats furnish their homes from the flea markets and brocantes around the city. The thrill of the hunt was her hobby and her passion and soon it became her business. A global business because there are treasures to be unearthed in every corner of the world. She has a wonderful story and even better, she's a great storyteller. She's so generous in the way she shares it I know you're going to feel like you've got a new friend. I know I do.

Why Craftsmanship Maters with Ben Soleimani

My guest this week is Ben Soleimani. You may have come across his work through years of collaboration he's done with Restoration Hardware. We talk about why they wanted him to elevate their rug collection to the highest quality it's known for today. But Ben has recently moved on and has opened his own studio creating rugs and furniture to be sold direct to the public. Ben's designs continue to be full of layered texture, color and a mix of references to the natural and built environments. He's got a great analogy for us about how his brain is like a slide show to explain his creative process. But I start by asking him about his background and his family business, the famed Mansour rug company. Let's jump in.

Ok, this one is juicy. Emily Henson is back on the show after writing her 4 book. I often say, your home is your autobiography. Or at least, it's your chance to create one. A visual autobiography that reflects who you are, where you've been and your aspirations for who you want to become. And this is where Emily and I start our conversation. Emily is a stylist and author of 4 books, her most recent called "Be Bold: Interiors for the Brave of Heart." And in it, she talks a lot about this idea of using your home as a canvas the way an artist might paint something that reflects both what she sees and how she comprehends the world around her. We cover a lot of ground in this episode so let's just dig in.

My guest is Tracy Kinnally and she has the really interesting job of advising people on how to start and build private art collections. Her clients are looking for both great monetary investments as well as the acquisition of some stellar pieces of culture to adorn their homes. I thought it would be interesting to hear about her background, her work and her thoughts on why art is such an important piece of creating a meaningful home, no matter your budget. And with that in mind, I want to take a minute to tell you about two articles I've written related to buying art that you can find on the show notes page of this episode. One is my personal take on why art is such a critical component of any home, where to find it and how to get started. It's called "How Not To Be Afraid Of Art Galleries." And the second is a photo guide called "17 Ways To Hang Art," because once you get it home, you gotta know how it fits into the rest of your living space. I share 17 examples of interesting ways to hang artwork that you may not have thought of before. Just go to littleyellowcouch.com, click on "podcast," and then click this episode with Tracy Kinnally.

Kim Gordon is a designer, an artist, a businesswoman, and best of all, she's incredibly intuitive when it comes to creating dream homes. Not the kinds of dream homes that are filled with expensive luxury items. But the kinds that really fulfill us in an emotional, creative and even spiritual way. Kim doesn't shy away from honoring the mystical. And what I mean by that is she connects our deepest desires with our intentions for our homes, and then, sort of magically, other areas of our lives get better.

Design Inspiration from the Natural World with Erica Tanov
19 augustus 2019 · 29 min
Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode! Lees meer
When Karen Grant was co-hosting the podcast with me, we both fell in love with Erica Tanov and her book, Design By Nature: Creating Layered, Lived In Spaces, Inspired By the Natural World. I knew this episode was one that I'd want to re-release and now is the perfect time because I'm excited to say that Erica has generously given me copies of her book to give everyone who comes to the Glamping Design Camp in Tulsa this October. Since that retreat is all about using nature as inspiration in our homes, I'm using her book as a jumping off point for the entire premise of the retreat. What I love about Erica is that she goes beyond just copying natural motifs in her designs. While she does have some literal things like fern leaves in her wallpaper, she also looks to natural objects for abstract inspiration. Tree bark, seed pods, rippling water and even weeds are re-imagined as color palates, textures and patterns. And that's what we're going to be working on during the Glamping Design Camp. You can get the full picture of what to expect during the retreat weekend at littleyellowcouch.com. It's truly going to be a spectacular weekend, with great conversation, individual attention to each of your homes, hands-on workshops, delicious food, and,of course, the opportunity to sleep in total luxury under the starts! I hope you can join us! In the mean time, you're going to be energized to start bringing nature into your home after spending a little time with Erica today! So let's get started.

This interview with Melinda McCoy of House 214 Design was originally aired in Oct of 2016. What we so appreciated about Melinda was her understanding that just saying "your home should tell your story," isn't clear enough. What does telling your story mean and how does that show up in your home and design choices. Since then, Melinda has created a course and membership site that you should definitely check out. But her core principles remain the same, making this interview just as helpful today as it was 3 years ago.

On this episode of On The Little Yellow Couch I talk about the power of connections. Not the networking kind. But the power of feeling truly connected. To each other. And to the deepest reserves of strength and optimism we all have somewhere inside us. To encourage you and I to have real conversations where you get to actually speak with me instead of just listening to me talk, I hope you’ll take me up on my offer of some free consultation this summer! I’ve had the absolute pleasure of meeting some of you in person at one of our Style Retreats. And even though not everyone can make it to these special weekends, we can at least talk via email. I encourage you to subscribe to the Little Yellow Couch newsletter and send me an email about a decor or design dilemma you’re facing. I’ll get back to you ASAP (hopefully within 24 hours!) and we can work it through together to a solution. I look forward to hearing from you!

My guest this week is a designer who is local to where I live, which is in the Boston area. We've now met at two design conferences and I feel so lucky to have met her in person! She's a designer who really listens to her clients' frustrations and gives them a big bath of Calgon. (If you don't get that reference, I want to know. I want to know exactly how much older I am than you. Just out of curiosity). Anyway, Paige not only loves what she does, she truly loves her clients and her genuine desire to help them comes through loud and clear. You'll see what I mean in a minute.

This week I'm talking with Paige Hull of The Vintage Round Top, a beautiful retreat space in the heart of antiquer's heaven in Round Top, TX. Pagie and her husband Smoot have put a lot of love and soul into it, starting with a gut renovation of the first house, "No. 1450," and then adding another they call "Boho," and most recently two small cottages named after their children, The Pierce and The Eisley. This magical place is where you can join me on the next Little Yellow Couch style retreat so be sure to check that out on the website, but today, I really wanted to give Paige the floor to share why and how she designs her homes with antiques. If you're a true vintage lover, this episode will naturally resonate with you. But if you skew more modern, I'm particularly excited for you to hear what Paige has to say. Because I think she and Smoot have really nailed it when it comes to incorporating a few chipped and scarred pieces in the most clean-lined, minimalist of spaces. Proving antiques really are for everyone.

My guest this week practices holistic design. And by the end of the episode you'll know exactly what that means to Laurence Carr. She has taken her classical ballet training, her life lived on many continents and her passion for sustainability and translated all of that into a thriving interior design studio. Laurence introduces us to three elements that show up in almost everything she creates: space clearing, interior realignment and sensory design. Let's dig in.

Brooke Milne is the travel blogger behind "Look It's Brooke!" I met her at a conference in California and in getting to know her, and learn about her business, I realized she would be full of advice for us about traveling and how to incorporate your travels into your style at home.

The Simple Kitchen with Melissa Coleman

My guest this week is Melissa Coleman, otherwise known as The Faux Martha. I'm sure you know which Martha that refers to and we'll get to why Melissa chose that name. But first, I'll tell you a little bit about her, in case you don't know. Melissa is a cook, a baker and a writer. I brought her on the show so we could talk about kitchens, one of the most used rooms in our homes, and one that can fill us with dread. It's often cluttered with too much on the counters and piles of dirty dishes and it's where we constantly go when we want to stare at shelving filled with a bunch of stuff that we don't know what to do with when its time to get dinner on the table. Melissa also has a great eye for design, which is really helpful when getting our kitchens to work for us. Oh, and full disclosure here, my kitchen is far from perfect so I'm using her book, The Minimalist Kitchen, to get it on track. I'll be sharing how it's going over the next few weeks and if you want to join me in a little personal challenge, I'd love to have some company as I clear out my cupboards, stock my pantry and start doing a little meal planning. Ok, let's get started!

Why The World Needs A New Paint Company with Nicole Gibbons

My guest this week is the sought after interior designer, Nicole Gibbons. You might recognize her from the Oprah Winfrey TV show "Home Made Simple." Or maybe you've seen her as a guest on The Rachel Ray show, or in the pages of any number of design magazines. She's done it all! But her newest venture, which has basically taken over her life, is a paint company she calls "Clare." I wanted to know what made Nicole drop everything else and pursue a product based company when she's always been in the service sector. And, to tell us the story behind the brand.

Creativity and Mental Health with Anita Joyce

My guest today is Anita Joyce of Cedar Hill Farmhouse, located in Round Top Texas, which you may recognize from the hugely famous antiques show that happens there twice a year. Anita and I met several years ago at a conference where we talked about podcasting because we were both about a year or so into it and it was especially nice because there aren't a whole lot of us our there who have interior design focused shows. Anyway, we're finally getting around to recording a conversation! We start off with Anita sharing very honestly a really dark time in her life and how the creative act of decorating and homemaking helped her dig her way out. Since then she's gone on to produce her blog, Cedar Hill Farmhouse, co-host the podcast, "Decorating Tips and Tricks," and write a beautiful book called "French Accents."
