Many fans of Edith Wharton's great novels "The Age of Innocence" and "The House of Mirth" may not realize that her very first published book was not a work of fiction at all. In 1897, in collaboration with architect and interior designer Ogden Codman Jr, Wharton published "The Decoration of Houses", at the time, a groundbreaking work on the philosophy of interior design calling for a return to the classic European principles of balance, symmetry and proportion. In fact when she built her own great country home The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts in 1902, she incorporated many of the French, Italian and British principles she lays out in the book.In this episode, returning guest Dr. Emily Orlando, noted Wharton scholar and author, helps us understand just what the publication of this first book meant to Wharton and the career that was to come. Furthermore, Dr. Orlando addresses the overriding theme of Wharton's own search for home and place that reoccurs regularly in her stories and novels. We can then understand not only Edith Wharton's concepts for classic architectural design but at least for her - what makes a house a home.Dr. Emily Orlando is the editor of a recently published new annotated edition of "The Decoration of Houses" available wherever books are sold.This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The start of a new year is supposed to feel hopeful. Calendars reset. Goals get written down. Language like fresh start and new season fills conversations. But for many men, January does not feel light. It feels heavy. The noise of the holidays fades. Decorations come down. Schedules thin out. And when the distractions disappear, something else shows up. Sadness. Fatigue. A sense of being behind. For men of faith, this moment creates tension. You believe in God. You trust Him. So why does everything still feel so low? This is where christian faith and depression collide in real life. Many men assume that strong belief should cancel out emotional struggle. When it does not, shame steps in. Silence follows. Faith becomes something you perform instead of something you bring your whole self into. Psalm 42:5 speaks directly to this moment. “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” This verse does not deny sorrow. It names it. The writer speaks to his own soul, not to impress anyone else, but to tell the truth. He feels downcast. He feels disturbed.

A new year offers a God-given invitation to renewal, hope, and spiritual refreshment rooted in His design for seasons and fresh starts. Anchored in Romans 15:13, this devotional reminds us that God weaves renewal into creation itself—daily, weekly, and yearly—so we can release the past, trust His mercy, and move forward with joy, peace, and confident hope through the Holy Spirit. Highlights God designed rhythms of renewal through days, weeks, and seasons for our good. Fresh starts are woven into creation, pointing us toward spiritual restoration. The cross of Christ stands as the ultimate picture of death giving way to new life. God removes our sin completely, offering freedom from past failures. His mercies are new every morning, inviting renewed hope each day and year. The turning of the calendar is an opportunity to trust God with what’s ahead. God is still writing your story—renewal is not behind you, it’s ongoing. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Conner Bible Reading:“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” - Romans 15:13 (NIV) All of the hustle and bustle of the holidays has come to a close. Decorations have been stored away, regular schedules have resumed, and the inevitable and likely necessary (at least for me) annual recommitment to diet and exercise has been enacted. Another new year is upon us. For some, the reset of the calendar feels like a fresh start, a blank slate. For others, it might draw out feelings of uncertainty about the unknown ahead. How do you view the renewal of another twelve months? Do you greet a new year with apprehension or anticipation? If we look closely, the framework of refreshing and renewal through time and seasons is evident throughout the Word of God. From the very beginning, we learn that God made day and night. Within each 24-hour period, there is a time for work and time to rest before the cycle begins again. The Lord also established weekly sequences with days assigned to toil and a call to reset on the Sabbath. Monthly and yearly periods are connected to new moons and seasons of sowing and harvesting. The list goes on and on… We can also observe the ultimate example of death and rebirth, exemplified through the cross of our Lord, Jesus Christ, reflected every year as the world goes dormant in winter. During those dark, bare days, we question whether life is present beneath the frozen tundra, yet each year, spring bursts forth with its radiant buds, reminding us all that warmth and light are on the way. With so many opportunities for refreshing and renewal organically embedded into creation, it is clear our Maker sees this process as “good” (Genesis 1:4). There is something cleansing, almost freeing, about a fresh start. How many situations or circumstances have you encountered this last year, or even this past month, that you wish you could put behind you and start again? There are several that come to mind. The Lord understands how these disappointments or personal failures can become a burden too heavy to bear. Which is why both spiritually and physically, He has embedded marker-point moments for us to begin again with a clean slate. “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us,” (Psalm 103:12, NIV). While we may struggle with the concept of freedom from current or past circumstances and sin, the Lord’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). There are opportunities for new days, new years, and renewed hope. For “… there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens, (Ecclesiastes 3:1, NIV). Wherever you find yourself this new year, I encourage you to seize this opportunity to refresh. Whatever has passed, let it be put away and look forward to a new beginning. God, the great author, is still writing your story. Let’s commit together to hand Him the pen and trust that the narrative He has planned will be full of abundant blessings this new year. Intersecting Faith & Life: How do you view the turn of the annual calendar? Do you feel inspired or intimidated? Why? Take some time today to prayerfully consider the highs and lows you experienced last year. Note next to each one how you saw God’s presence and provision in every example. Next, jot down some hopes or dreams for this new year. If possible, list aspirations in both the physical and spiritual. Are there relationships you would like to see founded, mended, or renewed? Or perhaps a new pursuit in health, education, or career. Write down anything you feel tugs on your heartstrings. Once completed, take some time to consider how you would like to see your relationship with the Lord grow this year. Is there a particular study you would like to join? Or perhaps a prayer group, or a commitment to daily individual prayer? Whatever feels like the Lord is prompting, make note of it, then release it to Him. I encourage you to keep this list somewhere safe. This time next year, bring it back out and see how God met you in any or all of these circumstances and desires.

What's best Holiday Decoration? WE GOT THIS.
Are Your Christmas Traditions Actually About Christ? Every December, homes fill with familiar patterns. Decorations come out. Music plays on repeat. Schedules tighten. Spending increases. Stress follows close behind. None of this feels unusual. It happens every year. What often goes unnoticed is how quickly christmas traditions can shift from meaningful habits into automatic routines. They still look Christian on the surface. Church services get attended. Nativity scenes get displayed. Familiar songs play in the background. But beneath the activity, something deeper may be missing. The question is not whether your family celebrates Christmas. The question is whether your christmas traditions actually point anyone toward Christ. Traditions tell a story. They quietly reveal what matters most in a home. They shape how children understand faith. They show what adults truly value when life feels full and demanding. During Christmas, those patterns become louder and clearer. If someone watched your household for the month of December, what story would your christmas traditions tell? Why Traditions Matter More Than We Think Traditions are powerful because they repeat. What is repeated becomes normal. What feels normal shapes belief. Most families do not intentionally create traditions to replace Christ. It happens slowly. A movie […] The post Christmas Traditions appeared first on UNCOMMEN.
Today's episode is a double-feature for design nerds. First, I'm sharing Production Designer Loo Sung He on Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice—in a first-ever translator format where I'm reading her responses. Then we switch to TV with my full audio interview on Overcompensating with Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. Film first, TV second—two deep dives, one episode.First, Production Designer Ryu Seong-hie (Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice) answers Kim Wannop's questions in a unique format: the interview was conducted through a translator, and Kim reads Ryu's translated responses on the show. Ryu breaks down how the film's spaces carry character and pressure—especially Man-su's home, built around a 1970s Korean “French House” ideal (mid-century suburban planning with French Provincial influence), plus the way greenery and color shift as the story darkens.Then the episode switches to TV with the full audio interview on Overcompensating featuring Production Designer Shayne Fox and Set Decorator Erika Lobko. They dive into building the show's visual language—tone, texture, location choices, and the practical realities of designing and decorating a world that feels specific, modern, and lived-in.If you love production design, set design, set decoration, art department craft, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking, follow Decorating Pages Podcast for more conversations with the creatives shaping what you see on screen.

In this episode, Kelly is joined by Hillary Wallace! She is the principal designer at her own firm: Simon-Wallace Design. And she pulls out all of the stops decorating her New York City home for the holidays. Kelly starts the episode off by talking about the only way two true New Yorkers could meet: Yelling at each other from a window! Hillary talks about where she was from and how from when she was young; she alwasy wanted to move to New York. She talks about growing up in LA in the 80's, moving to colorado, designing her own furniture as a side job and how that inspired her to go back to school for design. Kelly then asks Hillary about her house, and Hillary tells the very roundabout story of how she and her husband came to find and buy the house. Hillary tells us all about decorating her house for the holidays. She goes over her schedule, talks about where she gets all of her resourses from, and how she goes from design idea to execution every single year. Kelly and Hillary then talk about the desings themselves. What they are, some absurd stories about them, and the ways that different people have been inspired or moved by them. Hillary talks about her design philosophy, and how she goes about meeting clients, and creating a lifestyle for them or meeting them in their lifestyle. Jae asks her about some other events around the city and the three talk about some of the various events you can do while around New York during the holiday season. Finally, Kelly asks Hillary about some of her New York City Essentials, like where she goes for inspiration, where her favorite shops are and how she likes to get around. But above all else; Hillary Wallace is a New Yorker.

Christmas doesn't arrive as just one feeling. It shows up in many forms—joy, melancholy, loneliness, and wonder—sometimes all in the same room. 1. Joyous Christmas, at its brightest, feels like the world leaning in. Laughter fills the room, music drifts through the house, and even ordinary moments feel generous. Hands are busy, hearts are open, and for a brief time, kindness feels effortless. Christmas joy isn't about perfection—it's about connection, shared in light, sound, and warmth. That's one way Christmas sounds, when joy takes the lead. 2. Melancholy Christmas can be beautiful and heavy at the same time. Lights glow a little softer, songs carry memories, and silence speaks between the notes. It's a season that remembers for us—people we've loved, moments that have passed. In that quiet ache, there's tenderness, and a reminder that meaning often lives alongside loss. That's Christmas, when memory and music meet. 3. Loneliness For some, Christmas arrives quietly. The world seems full, but the room feels empty. Decorations glow without warmth, and the season's promise of togetherness feels just out of reach. Still, there is strength in naming the loneliness—because being seen, even in solitude, is its own kind of grace. This is Christmas too, even when it's quiet. 4. Wonder To a child, Christmas is pure wonder. Lights sparkle brighter, time slows down, and everything feels possible. Wrapping paper matters, magic is real, and tomorrow can't come fast enough. Christmas, through a child's eyes, is belief without doubt—and joy without explanation. That's Christmas, before we learned to doubt it.

Every December, something subtle happens in Christian homes. Decorations go up. Schedules fill fast. Spending increases. Stress creeps in. And somewhere in the middle of all the activity, Jesus can quietly move from the center to the edges. Most Christian men would say they believe Christmas is about Christ. Yet belief and practice do not always line up. The real question is not what we say Christmas means, but what our lives show. Keeping Christ in Christmas starts with an honest look at how we spend our time, money, attention, and spiritual energy during this season. If Jesus walked into our homes in December, would He recognize what we are celebrating? Luke 2:10–11 tells us exactly what Christmas is about. “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” That announcement did not come with shopping lists, packed calendars, or pressure to perform. It came with worship, awe, and obedience. The farther we drift from that truth, the harder keeping Christ in Christmas becomes.

This Christmas special is coming at you with three hos, as we're joined by one of the original true crime podcasters. Justin Evans from Generation WHY stops by to reminisce about his early podcasting days, survive a round of unhinged holiday dilemmas, and—most importantly—fix Christmas once and for all. But first: dilemmas.Trevin reveals a dirty little corporate secret after buying men's “pull-up” pants on clearance and wearing them to work—drawstring and all. Amanda gives her Santa house a red light bulb, accidentally turning her festive décor into something vaguely satanic. And Justin visits an ear, nose, and throat doctor, only to leave feeling violated, furious, and emotionally prepared for revenge. Then, things get serious.
Christmas decorations are meant to be cheerful — but some have been anything but. Over the years, certain holiday decorations have turned out to be creepy, hazardous, and even deadly. This episode begins with some of the strangest and most dangerous examples. https://www.epa.gov/radtown/radioactivity-antiques?utm Many classic Christmas songs have surprising backstories. Brenda Lee was only 13 when she recorded Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas was tossed in the trash before becoming a holiday staple. Music journalist Annie Zaleski joins me to share these and many other stories. She is author of This Is Christmas, Song by Song: The Stories Behind 100 Holiday Hits (https://amzn.to/3ZomPBn). There's a lot of myth and speculation surrounding The Twelve Days of Christmas.

Thank you to Kleenex for sponsoring this special episode of The Nikki & Brie Show! The twins are fully leaning into holiday mode. With cozy mugs in hand, they're putting family traditions front and center. This episode is a love letter to the little moments that make the holidays special, from sipping hot cocoa to prepping for their legendary Drummer Boy Dinner. A tradition started by their grandfather, this meaningful family gathering brings everyone together to dress up, feel grown, and listen to Bing Crosby's “Little Drummer Boy”—and now, the next generation is keeping it alive. Between debating comfy vs. cute outfits, unboxing décor, and planning the kids' table, it's peak holiday chaos in the best way.The twins also dive into Christmas wish lists (for kids and adults), Santa logistics, and the very serious question of how many Santas actually exist. From Matteo asking to ride the Goodyear Blimp, to Birdie and Buddy requesting a baby brother, to elves with full-blown personalities and wardrobes they regret buying—it's funny, heartfelt, and wildly relatable. They even swap holiday traditions from around the world, sparking new ideas for future family dinners.And because life doesn't slow down for the holidays, Nikki and Brie catch up on Monday Night RAW, NFL suite life, holiday travel, and juggling it all with grace (and tissues nearby). It's a warm, laugh-out-loud episode about family, gratitude, traditions, and giving yourself a little grace this season.
