This is such a delightful episode thanks to my guest, stylist Dee Campling. She’s just come out with a book called “Camper Heaven: Van Life on the Open Road.” And if you’re imagining hippies living in VW buses back in the 70s, you won’t believe how that lifestyle has evolved! Dee shares the many ways and reasons people are creating these homes on wheels, from decked-out ski chalet-style horse trailers to modest but beautiful, portable weekend vacation spots. But what’s so great is Dee’s enthusiasm for the whole endeavor. She’s so wonderful to talk with that you’re going to be inspired to buy a camper van by the end of this episode! Here’s Dee.

“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!

Breaking Design Rules With Purpose: A Conversation with “The Nester” Myquillyn Smith

Home is the place you can be yourself in your wildest dreams because home is where we are creating who we want to become. This is the overarching theme of this week’s conversation with Carla Morano of the wallpaper and mural company, Fine & Dandy Co. Take some risks in putting yourself out there, visually, visibly throughout your home, and don’t worry so much about rules, or what other people think, whether or not things “go” together. Oh, and we talk about wallpaper, too!

Why Big, Bold Commitments Are Good For Your Home with Carla Morano

In this episode of the Slow Style Home podcast, I sat down with Bo Shepard and Kyle Dubé, the founders of Woodward Throwbacks and authors of the new book “Throwbacks Home Interiors”. They share their journey from salvaging materials in Detroit to creating unique furniture pieces with a story. We also explored the philosophy of Slow Style, the importance of trial and error, and how individual pieces can inspire entire rooms. The duo describes how economic downturns led to an abundance of materials for their projects and emphasizes the significance of adaptive reuse in modern home design. We also spoke about the importance of community, preserving historical materials, and contributing to Detroit's revitalization.
