More than you'd think.In this episode, I dig through a stack of old design magazines — Domino, Flea Market Style, House Beautiful, Veranda, and Country Living, spanning 2007 to 2019 — and ask the question I find myself returning to constantly: what still holds up?We talk suzanis, suzanis (yes, still), the case for painting all four walls instead of just one, why the humble breakfast nook deserves a comeback, and what the best white kitchens actually have in common.

In dieser Radioreise nimmt Sie Alexander Tauscher mit nach Göteborg in die zweitgrößte Stadt von Schweden. Freuen Sie sich auf einen vorwiegend kulinarischen Trip, der sich zwischen den weiten Schärengärten der Westküste und der Fischkirche im Herzen der Metropole bewegt. Wir treffen Händler, Gastronomen, echte Meister ihres Fachs und erleben dabei ein pulsierendes Gothenburg, wie es international genannt wird, mit verschiedensten Gesichtern. Mit dem Skipper Lasse von Kastor Boat Trips, der seit mehr als 20 Jahren auf dem Wasser unterwegs ist, schippern wir vom Hafen Hönö Klåva um diese Insel und halten Ausschau nach Robben. Am Hafen treffen wir Thomas vom Verein Hönö Ölagille. Hier sind rund 80 Hobby-Bierbrauer der Insel versammelt. Wir schauen einem der Brauer, Lasse, in seinem Haus über die Schulter und erleben auf der Veranda eine Bar mit rund zehn Zapfhähnen, vom Pilsner bis zum Pale. Ab dann schlängelt sich unser kulinarischer Weg durch die Stadt. Feskekörka ist die große Fischhalle der Stadt, die einer Fischerkirche nachgebaut wurde. Über die Geschichte und vor allem das Angebot dieser Halle sprechen wir mit der gastronomischen Leiterin Roberta Derkintis. Später treffen wir in der zentralen Markthalle Stora Saluhallen am Stand von Hugo Ericson Cheese die Betreiber Glenn Moberg und dessen Gattin Jenny Svensson. Sie erzählen von der Geschichte des ältesten Verkaufsgeschäfts dieser historischen Halle. Einen ganz kurzen geschichtlichen Einblick vor allem in die deutsche Zeit der Stadt gibt uns Håkan Strömberg im Museum of Gothenburg, dem Stadtmuseum. Zwei kulinrische Meister ihres Fachs stehen anschließend auf dem Programm. Wir treffen Schwedens besten Konditor Kalle Bengtsson von Konditori Kampanilen und Schwedens besten Koch Martin Moses vom Fine-Dining-Restaurant Human. Wie man in Schweden aus deutschen Weintrauben guten Gerstensaft macht, erklärt uns Christian Leksell. Er ist Chairmann von Wine Mechanics in Göteborg. Und wie man Gin oder Wodka völlig neu erfinden kann, verrät später David De Courcy von der Bar und Destillerie Ego Distillers. Durch eine der grünen Lungen der Stadt, die The Garden Society of Gothenburg, führt uns die Gärtnerin Emmelie Georgii und zeigt stolz das Rosarium. Es ist nach Sangerhausen das zweitgrößte Europas. Gleich in der Nähe des Parks liegt unser unser Basiscamp, das Hotel Royal. Über die Geschichte dieses ältesten Hotels der Stadt spricht Hotelchef Henrik Lind. In seinem Haus ist zum Beispiel an der Wand ein Gemälde, dass ein Künstler damals malte, um die Rechnung fürs Zimmer zu begleichen. Viel Spaß mit unseren vielen Geschichten aus Göteborg!

Wenn die Temperaturen draußen mild genug sind, nämlich Tag und Nacht konstant über 15 bis 18 Grad, dann dürfen die Zimmerpflanzen der Kräuterhexe Uschi Zezelitsch wieder an die frische Luft. Vom warmen und feuchten Badezimmer geht es hinaus auf eine Holztreppe in den Garten und auf die Veranda. Etliche dieser Exoten liefern Stoff für die Hausapotheke, von der Katzenschwanzpflanze mit ihrem gelartigen Pflanzensaft, der bei Sonnenbrand oder Insektenstichen wahre Wunder tut, über das Pekinggras, das antioxidative Wirkung hat, bis hin zur Tradescantia, der Dreimasterblume. Auf diese Pflanze ist Uschi in Costa Rica gestoßen und hat dort bemerkt, dass sie ja schon im Wohnzimmer bei der Oma gewachsen ist. Indien ist die ursprüngliche Heimat von Pekinggras und Papaya-Prachtscharte. Welche nützlichen und heilsamen Eigenschaften diese beiden Pflanzen mitbringen, verrät Uschi Zezelitsch ebenfalls im Gespräch mit der ORF Burgenland Moderatorin Nicole Aigner.

Eric, TG (the girlfriend) and Gertie are finally (probably) going to visit Veranda Beach! It's especially exciting since Veranda Beach is our new show sponsor; it's easy to promote something you already love! What Stacy DOESN'T love is eye doctors that suggest blepharoplasty and dress shopping. Eric had been “dating” himself by going alone to concerts, including seeing The Wedding Present and Art Brut. When it comes to how they spend their free time, Stacy and Eric are an odd couple which also happens to be Stacy's Cultural Blindspot this week – The Odd Couple movie based on a Neil Simon play. While Stacy yucked it up, Eric found the Treasure of The Sierra Madre which is another movie on the AFI's list of 100 American films to see. Both movies were recommended to watch even if the score of the latter movie was meh. Eric also recommends DTF Saint Lewis which is not what you might expect. As for the weekly debate, there's no debate, however base it may seem, women prefer tall men. You could argue all others get the short stick!

E' terminato alle 14, con la villetta dichiarata inagibile, l'intervento dei Vigili del Fuoco, impegnati questa mattina in Strada del Brolo a Bassano del Grappa per spegnere le fiamme in un'abitazione che era andata a fuoco a seguito di un incendio scoppiato in veranda. Fortunatamente nessuna persona è rimasta coinvolta.

Matthias Utzinger und seine Frau Lauren haben in Tasmanien ihren Traum vom eigenen Weingut verwirklicht. Im kühlen Klima des Tamar Valley haben die beiden aus einer ehemaligen Schaffarm ein kleines Paradies für Weinliebhaber geschaffen: «Wir haben uns sofort in dieses Stück Land verliebt.» Matthias Utzinger aus Wädenswil (ZH) arbeitete auf Weingütern im In- und Ausland, darunter fünf Jahre in Südfrankreich. 2015 bereiste er die Welt auf der Suche nach dem idealen Ort für seinen Weinberg. Dabei lernte er seine heutige Frau Lauren kennen: «Sie lud mich über Weihnachten zu sich nach Tasmanien ein. In diesem Moment wusste ich: Hier gehöre ich hin und finde meinen Weinberg.» Gemeinsam starteten sie das Herzensprojekt. Das Abenteuer des eigenen Weinanbaus begann 2018. Im Norden der Insel, mit Blick auf den Tamar River, bewirtschaften sie heute ihr Gut. Während der Ernte sind die Tage lang. Viele stellen sich den Winzer romantisch auf der Veranda vor, wie er auf seine Rebberge blickt, sagt Matthias schmunzelnd: «In Wirklichkeit sitze ich die meiste Zeit auf dem Traktor, aber ich liebe die Arbeit im Rebberg.» Exotische Schädlinge Tasmanien bringt auch Herausforderungen mit sich, die im europäischen Weinbau unbekannt sind. Kängurus und Wallabies bedienen sich gerne an den Trauben, weshalb die Utzingers ihre Reben mit Netzen schützen müssen. Gleichzeitig lassen sie viel Land in seinem natürlichen Zustand, um ein gesundes Ökosystem zu fördern, inklusive giftiger Schlangen und Spinnen, die hier heimisch sind.

In this powerful and joy-filled episode, we celebrate a significant milestone for respite care in Tennessee—new legislation that allows The Veranda to expand its reach, welcoming five additional clients into the day program and increasing care availability to 12 hours per week. This long-awaited breakthrough represents more than policy change—it's answered prayer, faithful perseverance, and a tangible step forward for caregivers and families who so deeply need support. We also share the moving story of Julia, a devoted benefactor whose belief in Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly and her unwavering commitment to "honoring the project" helped carry the vision through seasons of uncertainty. Her generosity and faith remind us that behind every victory are people who quietly say "yes" to God's prompting—and mean it. Plus, a heartfelt glimpse into a recent Dementia-Friendly Good Friday service, where sacred moments met real-life ministry. Mary Anne recounts the honor of singing "The Goodness of God" alongside her dear friend Louise, who lives with Frontal Temporal Dementia—a moment filled with tenderness, memory, and the unmistakable presence of God. www.verandaministries.org

Join us as Ocean House owner and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce moderates a conversation with her Lifestyle Design Panel featuring Genevieve Wheeler Brown, Amanda Reynal, Christopher Spitzmiller, & Ashley Whittaker. About the Panel: Genevieve Wheeler Brown - Founding Genevieve Wheeler Decorative Art Advisory in 2003, Genevieve comes to the advisory business with more than 12 years of experience in the auction world, strong generalist knowledge and a wide range of contacts in American, European and Asian decorative and fine arts. Genevieve began her career with Christie's in 1992 with the European Decorative Arts Department after working as an intern at The Phillips Collection, Washington D.C. in 1990. She was then asked to run Overseas Consignments at Christie's Park Avenue, a department that handled inquiries for European based auctions including Indian and Southeast Asian art, Islamic Art, Miniatures, Textiles and Cameras. In 1995 Genevieve became the New York contact for sales of Fabergé and Russian Silver at Christie's Park Avenue and most recently was as a specialist in Fine Musical Instruments at Christie's Rockefeller Center from 1998 to 2003. While at Christie's, she was involved with important sales such as ‘The Pine Cone Egg' by Carl Fabergé and ‘The Taft' Stradivari which fetched the auction record for an instrument sold in the United States. She has also been an appraiser on the PBS production ‘The Antiques Roadshow'. A supporter of several fine and decorative art related institutions, Genevieve has served on the Board of the National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of New York, served as a member of the Young Fellows Steering Committee of the Frick Collection from 1995 to 2005 and co-Chaired the Winter Antiques Show Young Collector's Night, New York in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Genevieve currently advises several organizations including Dumbarton House, a Federal period house museum in Georgetown, as a board member as well as for The Winter Show as a vice-chair of Opening Night and as co-founder of The Winter Show Luncheon.

In 2001, she founded Amanda Reynal Interiors, known for her well-traveled aesthetic and astute knowledge of antiques, art and the global design market. Her work adheres to historical aesthetic, using traditional forms with a fresh and updated sensibility. Her style is influenced by her upbringing in the Northeast and time in Palm Beach. Christopher Spitzmiller - CHRISTOPHER'S ICONIC CERAMIC LAMP DESIGNS draw inspiration from classical forms and traditional gemlike glazes. He began his career in 1996 in Washington, D.C. then moved to New York City in the fall of 1999 where he continues to create his one of-a-kind lamps with a crew of skilled artisans. The lamps are of timeless appeal and luxurious quality. Beautiful classic lamps are drenched in bold, vibrant, rich glazes. As of late Christopher has expanded his designs to tableware and other ceramic accessories. In 2015 he began a partnership with Visual Comfort and Circa Lighting allowing his designs to reach a broader audience. Christopher's work is often featured in celebrated publications such as Architectural Digest, Town & Country, Elle Décor, Veranda, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. He has had the honor of making lamps for four different White House Administrations, the Blair House and many other distinguished American homes. When not in the Studio, Christopher can be found at his farm in Millbrook, NY gardening, beekeeping, making jam, cooking for friends, or tending to his flock of heritage breed chickens. All captured in his book ‘A Year at Clove Brook Farm,' published by Rizzoli. He also enjoys the pleasure of giving back to the community by serving on the boards of the Lenox Hill Neighborhood House and The Garden Conservancy.  Ashley Whittaker - Described as the “neo-traditionalist,” Ashley Whittaker reveals her fresh and modern perspective on traditional design and architecture in all of her work. The New York City decorator offers distinctly classic taste and chic sophistication to residential decoration and interior design. Characterized by tailored rooms that incorporate charming detail and engaging play on color and pattern, Whittaker's signature style is immediately evident. A Florida native, Ashley received her bachelor degree from St. Lawrence University. She has worked as a special events director at both Ralph Lauren in New York and the finance firm Forstmann Little & Co. Ashley credits her training in the design industry to legendary decorator Markham Roberts where she worked before starting out on her own.   For details on Deborah Goodrich Royce and the Ocean House Author Series, visit deborahgoodrichroyce.com    

In this second part of the conversation from episode 85, we want to pause for a moment and share something very real happening behind the scenes with Veranda Ministries. Right now, the Veranda is walking through the careful and sometimes complicated process of securing the proper legislation and permissions that would allow us to serve even more families whose loved ones have dementia. It's an important step, but also a season that requires patience, prayer, and a lot of wisdom. www.verandaministries.org

We sadly said goodbye to our beloved Lovie this month, a gentle soul who loved Jesus and cherished the Veranda. Today, we come together to celebrate and honor the beautiful person Lovie was to each of us. Veranda Ministries is currently navigating the complex process of obtaining legislation and permissions to serve more families in need. It's important to note that the Veranda is not an adult day care facility, but a respite care ministry—created specifically to give care partners a much-needed break while their loved ones are cared for with dignity, compassion, and Christ-centered love. This season requires patience, wisdom, and favor as doors are opened and guidelines are navigated. We ask for prayer—that God would grant clarity, provision, and supernatural favor with every decision-maker, and that He would continue to establish the Veranda as a place of rest, renewal, and hope for caregivers and families alike.  www.theverandaministries.org Send your comments and emails to: mailto:mao1024@gmail.com

Guest: Jeremy Zakis. Six cockatoos are scouting Zakis's roof and solar panels, behaving similarly to when they destroyed a neighbor's house. His dog Dallas cannot see them from the veranda to scare them off. Zakis considers using a drone to deter the birds since harming them is illegal, but fears expensive repairs are inevitable.

It is our favorite time of year: the 2026 Trend Report is here! Caroline, Taryn, and Liz are joined by the Ballard Designs Product Design Team—Hillary Park, and Will Turner—to break down exactly what is coming next in the world of interiors. The team reveals the surprising colors predicted to dominate (including "Green Glow" aka Slime and "Fresh Purple"), why "Builder Khaki" is making a nostalgic comeback, and the specific design aesthetic that bridges the gap between Gen Z and Boomers. They also discuss the move away from gray, the evolution of bouclé, and why your next gallery wall should feature "weird" personal art. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Brown is the New Black: Move over, cool grays. The team confirms that brown—from "Cocoa Powder" to "Builder Khaki"—is the dominant neutral for 2026. It pairs perfectly with the trending warm metals (like nickel) and "dirty" pastels. Embrace "Grandma Crafts": High-tech is out; analog is in. The trend of "Grandma Crafts" is huge, with needlepoint, embroidery, and paint-by-numbers becoming the ultimate way to unwind and decorate.

A New Year's Eve celebration with those living with dementia and Alzheimer's feels sacred, filled with soft moments, memories, and unexpected joy. Paper hats sit crooked, cider overflows, noisemakers honking away, and questions may be repeated, but heart and presence matter most. On this very day at the Veranda, stories unfold—some vivid, some fragments—showing that memory lives in body and spirit. Laughter erupts over funny tales, while tender moments honor loved ones lost. The countdown may vary, but the true celebration is about togetherness. Hugs, music, and shared memories remind us that feelings matter more than details, and even in forgetfulness, we remain whole and worthy here. This is what Veranda Ministries and Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly's mission are all about. Happy New Year! We don't have to remember everything to feel something. We don't need every detail to know love. And even in forgetting, we are still ourselves—still belonging, still worthy, still here. www.verandaministries.org

We're excited to welcome interior designer Sara Hillery to the show! Based in Richmond, Virginia, Sara's firm blends function with one-of-a-kind decorative pieces to create story-driven rooms. Named a "Next Wave Designer" by House Beautiful and featured in Veranda and The Wall Street Journal, Sara joins Caroline and Liz to demystify "transitional" design and share her spirited approach to holiday decorating. Sara explains how she balances antiques with clean lines to create timeless spaces, her method for editing a room like an onion, and how she reinvents her holiday decorating theme every single year. She also shares her secret for keeping Christmas trees alive and her favorite way to spark conversation at dinner parties. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Peel the Onion: When defining your style, pin up everything you love on a board, then "peel back the layers of the onion" by removing items until you reach a harmonious balance of favorite pieces. Create a "Thread" Between Rooms: You don't need to paint every room the same color, but rooms should have equal "tonal weight" and a unifying thread (like a specific welt or texture) so you can move a chair from one room to another without it looking out of place. Hydrate Your Holiday: To keep fresh greenery and trees from drying out, soak garlands in water overnight before hanging them, and add a little Miracle-Gro to your Christmas tree water to keep it fresh and prevent needle drop.

Why is authentic community so hard to find? John Mark explores the modern challenges that keep us isolated—busyness, transience, digital distraction—but then goes deeper to reveal the ancient enemy underneath it all: shame. He shows us how shame disconnects us from God and each other, and how the often-overlooked practice of confession can heal our deepest wounds and reconnect us to the love we're desperate for.Key Scripture Passages: Genesis 2v25; Romans 7v21-25, 8v1-3; Mark 2v17; James 5v16This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.
