If you've ever turned down the radio to think, or decluttered before tackling a project or new task, you'll want to learn about house hushing. Coined by home decor author, Myquillyn Smith, house hushing is the act of "quieting" a physical space of visual clutter for 24 hours so the brain can experience what a room could be like without everything in it. Smith calls this "backwards decluttering" because you get to experience the emotional and visual benefit of decluttering right away without the decision fatigue of actual decluttering. The idea is once your brain knows that it's possible to feel peace, calm and order in your space again, it will yearn for simplicity and be very protective and intentional about what gets let back in.You can see the parallels between house hushing and mind hushing.By the end of this episode, you'll be itching to use Myquillyn Smith's concept to not only hush your physical spaces but the areas of your life that feel like are always yelling at you.Imagine what your present and future could be like if you did the work to quiet the noisiest aspects of your life.

Welcome to today's show featuring my friend Myquillyn Smith, also known as the Nester. We're diving into a fun discussion about our homes, including a candid confession about my biggest decorating faux pas. You're about to discover what that is as we explore the intimate details of home decor. Myquillyn Smith, a bestselling author known for her books Welcome Home and Cozy Minimalist Home, has spent over fifteen years inspiring women to embrace their spaces, imperfections included, and personalize them. In her latest work, House Rules: How to Decorate for Every Home, Style, and Budget, she presents a compelling collection of one hundred universal decorating truths that cater to any house, style, and budget. Join Myquillyn and I as we talk about: Universal decorating rules Low-budget decorating ideas Using a We Did It list The Trinity of Rugs, Drapes, & Lighting Hate the Sofa, Hate the Space Favorite quotes:  “Decorating is just as much about what we remove from a room than what we add. It isn't about adding expensive things. It is about adding the right things.” (9:48 Audio) “We underestimate the fact that small changes can make a huge impact.” (10:30 Audio) “When you get the right seating surfaces and storage in your room, which most of us already have, but when we add that homey trinity for most of us our rooms magically feel 80-90% done.” (20:00 Audio)  “Find a way to not hate the biggest piece in your room and it will change the way you feel about the room.” (26:19) Coaching this week: Keep It Simple & Take Action In coaching this week, I share that to succeed, keep it simple and take action. Overcoming the tendency to overthink and procrastinate is key; start with small steps, seek guidance if needed, and remember that progress comes from action, not endless planning.

“Break the rules on purpose because we believe the room will look better. Not because we don't know better.” That's the premise of Myquillyn Smith's new book, “House Rules.” In my conversation with her we pull apart some of these key rules and why they're so useful, across the board. I love her examples of balancing casual and formal elements, the value of antiques and art, and how decorating with meaningful objects is better than decorating with diamonds. The Slow Style philosophy regarding intentionality, contrast, and patience in home decor comes through loud and clear.  I'm so happy to have Myquillyn back on the show! www.slowstylehome.com/episodes/myquillyn-smith The Style Matters podcast is now Slow Style Home!

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls' Night! I'm so excited about today's episode. Today we're talking about how to decorate your home (when you're not a professional home designer). Decorating a home can feel challenging because there are so many different components to consider, but, like most things in life, there are some guidelines we can follow to help make things a little bit easier!  To walk us through this, I invited a Girls Night favorite back on the show and that's my dear friend and home design enthusiast, Myquillyn Smith.

If decorating your home feels overwhelming and you don't know where to start, this conversation with Myquillyn Smith will bring clarity and hope. We discuss house rules (and how to break them), how to fix things when they don't look right, how to decorate on a budget, and how to figure out what your next step is when it comes to creating a home that you love being in and feels good. I have personally read and implemented what Myquillyn has taught in her books and community since 2018, and I'm so grateful to be able to introduce you to some whom I've learned a lot from when it comes to creating rooms in my home that I truly love. One of the decorating principles that has made the biggest difference in my home is Myquillyn's decorating trinity. The Homey Trinity: Rugs, Drapes, and Lighting As someone who doesn't love a lot of trinkets to care of, understanding the impact of these three items has set me free and allowed me to to confidently create spaces I love to be in. If you are just getting started putting rooms together, an invaluable resource - and where I first learned about the power of rugs, drapes, and lighting is in Myquillyn's book Cozy Minimalist Home. A confident decorator is someone who, when the room doesn't look right, knows what to do. No one is born knowing that. You learn from mentors, from trial and error, and by asking lots of questions. Decorating can be scary because other people see it. But your home should be your safe place to try things out.  Decorating is low stakes and is a great place to take a risk and learn from your attempts. It is a great thing to teach your kids that some risks are high stakes, some are low stakes, and decorating falls into the low-stakes and fun category. A fabulous starting space for learning what doesn't look right and why is Myquillyn Smith's fourth book, House Rules.

In our ongoing quest to squash the chaos in our lives, we're talking to two experts (who are in fact sisters) who literally help us create space for our souls and our homes to breathe. Emily P. Freeman hosts the Do the Next Right Thing podcast where listeners flock to hear her soothing voice guide them with small ways to achieve mental clarity and avoid analysis paralysis when making decisions. Her sister, Myquillyn Smith, better known as The Nester, has the superpower of helping us create peace in the physical places we live with smart solutions that tweak our spaces to bring us calm–because when our homes feel out of control, our inner chaos rises as well.  Highlights from this discussion with Jen, Emily, and Myquillyn include: How Emily and Myquillyn played with their Barbies as young girls was indicative of the roads they chose later in life  How sometimes the things that we are influenced to purchase to help us conquer chaos can become triggers for chaos (ie: THE BASKET PEOPLE)  How to not get bogged down with the pressure to plan your whole life, and how looking at past decisions can inform the decisions you make in the future  What it means to “quiet a room” in order to bring calm to your living spaces  Join Jen, Emily, and Myquillyn as we all seek a little refreshment for our lives and homes.  * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

But the thing is, the way we moved through our Barbie life as kids echoes into adulthood. It is the way that we live our lives as grownups." - Emily P. Freeman "Decision making and discernment is not something we can quit, ignore, graduate, retire from, or often delegate. It is always with us. Unfortunately, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not. And let's not forget it is a great privilege to be able to make a choice at all." - Emily P. Freeman "There are tons of studies about clutter and chaos and what it does to our literal heartbeat, the stress that we feel." - Myquillyn Smith "Our best teachers for decisions we are going to make in the future are the decisions we've already made in the past." Emily P. Freeman "The work of discernment is so much less about what should I do or not do? It's about can I trust myself?" - Emily P. Freeman “If you think of every single singular item in your space, having a voice over the months, over the years, maybe decades—it gets louder and louder.” - Myquillyn Smith “We think creating a beautiful home is about what we add in, but often it's about what we remove.” - Myquillyn Smith “If you cannot put your decision into a sentence, then it is not time to make the decision yet.” - Emily P.

"Why would you spend $700 on a course when you can buy a $20 book?"    A comment came in recently from a listener asking this question. It's a valid question and one that needs a valid answer because maybe you DON'T need an expensive course. Maybe for you, buying a $20 book is as good of a resource as you'll need in your effort to transform your home into a home that you love. But how do you know? 3 questions to ask yourself before making this Home Design 101 investment.    // Links mentioned in show:// Email: hello@figandfarmathome.com Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/design101group Website: www.figandfarmathome.com Register for Home Design 101: https://www.figandfarmathome.com/registration   Books to consider:  1.
