Podcasts about home decor

Saddle up, thrift lovers! On this week's Get Thrifty Podcast, we're lighting things up with Niki from Prickly Cactus Ranch. She's turning vintage finds into handmade candle magic, one cozy, sustainable burn at a time. Don't miss her secrets to secondhand sourcing and soulful upcycling!   SHOW NOTES: How she began her upcycle business. Sustainable upcycling + creativity = big business. Full circle secondhand. What made her fall in love with secondhand sourcing. Her favorite vessel transformations—unexpected pieces that made perfect candles. Her commitment to using organic soy wax and eco-friendly practices. The challenge and beauty of making every candle unique—no mass production here! How she photographs, markets, and sells her creations. The magic of limited inventory: it builds excitement, encourages reuse, and lets your creativity shine. How she chooses scents to match the look and feel of each vessel (e.g., a smoky amber scent in a vintage whiskey glass).

In this episode, I talk with Joseph Marini, author of Mastering the Art of Entertaining. We cover what it really means to host, beyond the perfect table setting. Joseph shares why entertaining is about connection, not performance, and how a little planning goes a long way. We talk about what makes a good guest, how to keep people out of the kitchen, and why it's okay to serve store-bought food, as long as you put it in a real bowl. This is a practical, honest conversation about making people feel welcome in your home, no matter your style or budget. Want to finally define your style?

Stassi is back with the ultimate home episode because C-O-Lo just bought her very first place—and not just any home, but her first L.A. home. They're celebrating with a deep dive into the obsessive art of decorating, design regrets, and figuring out your aesthetic one sideboard mistake at a time. Lo shares how she found a townhouse that just felt right, while Stassi reflects on buying her home in 2020 at the perfect moment—like the universe stepped in. They cover dining room dreams, filling empty rooms, and building a space around pieces you truly love. From mismatched metals and elegant toilets to art regrets (bye, Louis Vuitton bubbles) and Anthropologie knobs, it's a full breakdown of what to do—and what not to do. Plus, should you do an energy cleanse before moving in? Lo says yes.

Tom travels to Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, to visit friend and fellow reinvention expert Brian Balthazar — former HGTV executive, Today Show producer, stand-up comic, and co-host of Human vs. Hamster on Max. They talk about launching Kathie Lee & Hoda, Brian's unexpected pivot from TV exec to napkin entrepreneur, and how midlife “menopause” (for men) is real. This episode is full of unexpected career turns, heartfelt confessions, and the kind of laughs that come from two friends who have seen behind the curtain of fame... and lived to tell about it.

In this edition of the Fix My Room series, I spoke with Kayla, who lives on beautiful Vancouver Island in a post-and-beam home full of character and full of wide open spaces. Her main question was what to do with the big, undefined area between her staircase and the main living space. It's not a hallway, not quite a room, and right now it's mostly being used by her young kids as a runway! Together, we walked through the space and explored ideas for how to make it more functional and intentional, without blocking movement or creating clutter. Want to finally define your style?

The break-up was rough, but looking around the house, the realization hit me: enough time had passed. The house felt hollow, the memories mere echoes as the walls finally exhaled. It was time for a new beginning. A new dawn that can only commence at the ultimate church of eclectic, spirited commerce: World Market. I started small—replacing our antique China with vivid Moroccan flatware that seemed kissed by the sun, swapping the boring coffee table with a teakwood piece who's carved inlays most assuredly had stories to tell. The sleek, curated house slowly gave way to joyous chaos and vibrant international hues: I bought handwoven baskets from Chile, glass incense holders from Bangkok, a wine decantor shaped like a pineapple that said, "Why am I shaped like a pineapple? Let me counter your inquiry with one of my own: why are you shaped like a human?" One night, while nestled snuggly on the Brazilian velvet sectional under the glow of a copper Turkish lantern, I laughed—genuinely, stupidly, fully—for the first time in months. Healing, it turns out, doesn't always mean moving on; sometimes it means turning your break-up into a credit card-fueld World Market fever dream.

She shares examples from her own evolving home and current client projects, all while staying rooted in meaning and play.

This week, I'm joined by Professor Annetta Grant, whose research examines why so many of us feel uneasy in our own homes — even after we've renovated them. We dive into her concept of dysplacement (yes, spelled with a “y”), and how the rise of HGTV, social media, and resale-minded design has shifted the home from a space of personal expression to a performance of market standards.Annetta and I talk about why we second-guess our own style, the emotional pressure to “get it right,” and how even dipping our toes into “bold” choices can feel risky.  If you've ever wondered why your beautifully updated space still doesn't feel quite like you, this conversation will give you language — and permission — to rethink everything.

In this episode, I sit down with interior designer Jade Joyner, co-founder of the firm Metal + Petal, to talk about how she approaches design with intention, balance, and a strong point of view. Jade is the opposite of a formulaic designer—she's not interested in trends, matching sets, or playing it safe. Instead, she leans into mixing materials, layering stories, and building spaces that reflect the people who live in them.We go deep into two of her residential projects, walking through how she makes decisions around shape, material, and layout—and how she balances aesthetics with real-life function (like designing for a family with five kids). We also get into what she calls "connective tissue"—the subtle moves that make rooms flow together without feeling matchy or over-designed.This conversation is a behind-the-scenes look at the kind of thought, care, and creative problem-solving that goes into designing spaces that feel both grounded and alive. If you've ever wondered how to pull off a mix—or how to avoid the dreaded “blanket look”—Jade has some smart, candid advice you won't want to miss. Want to finally define your style?

In this episode, I talk with Whitney English—author, designer, and (as I like to call her) my organizational better half. Her new book, Organize First, Decorate Second, isn't your typical organizing manual. It's thoughtful, deeply personal, and grounded in real life—something I immediately connected with.We explore the idea that our homes are not just reflections of who we are, but tools that help shape us. Whitney shares why she prefers the word edit over declutter, how tension (not balance) is her guiding principle, and why you should think twice before buying drawer dividers. We also get into how new urbanism and walkable cities inspired her approach to home design, why she gave up on making her bed, and how organization can actually free up space for beauty and joy—not get in the way of it.If you've ever struggled with keeping things tidy, if you love your stuff but want it to serve you better, or if you just want permission to let go of what's not working, this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

When I first discovered Ros Byam Shaw's writing, I felt like I'd found someone who truly saw homes the way I did — not as stage sets or style statements, but as deeply personal spaces layered with time, memory, and quiet beauty. In this episode, I get to speak with Ros Byam Shaw about her work as a writer and her newest book, “ Perfect English, Small and Beautiful”, her longtime collaboration with photographer Jan Baldwin, and what she's learned from years of stepping inside some of the most thoughtful homes in Britain.We talk about the charm of unshowy interiors, why rooms don't need to shout to be compelling, and how trends often miss the point. Ros shares stories from her time at World of Interiors, what makes a home feel lived-in and loved, and why it's perfectly fine — even wonderful — not to have a “celebrity home.”This conversation felt like a deep exhale. I hope it reminds you, as it reminded me, that personal style isn't about impressing anyone — it's about making a space that feels like you. Want to finally define your style?

In this episode, I talk with Olga Naiman, author of Spatial Alchemy, about how design can help us move through change, break old patterns, and support who we're becoming. Olga shares how her own journey—starting with something as simple as reupholstering a chair—led her to a deeper understanding of the connection between our homes and our inner lives.We get into the core idea of spatial alchemy: using design not just to make things look nice, but to reflect and support real emotional shifts. Olga walks us through how small design choices—like moving a desk, upgrading your water glass, or changing what you look at every day—can help us feel more grounded, clear, and aligned.This isn't about buying more stuff or getting it “right.” It's about tuning into how your space is affecting you, and how small shifts can open up real change.
