Ep. 206: comedian Heather McMahan & designer Jared Hughes

Listen Later

We've got a hilarious duo for you today -- comedian Heather McMahan and designer Jared Hughes. They're longtime friends, and they recently made over Heather's bedroom using Ballard Designs products. Today, we're talking about mixing styles, adding traditional elements to a modern design, and more.

What You'll Hear on This Episode:

  • Why Heather designed her whole bedroom around our animal print Robbie Chair
  • Animal print inspired the whole room
  • How Jared took Heather's style to the next level and helped her learn what decorating rules to follow and which ones to ignore
  • Why painting every wall white isn't always the answer
  • How Jared really reigned in his bold style to ease Heather into the room design
  • How important is it for your room to look big?
  • Why a small room isn't necessarily a bad thing
  • We talk about Heather's mom and how much of a say she has in the design
