We have the pleasure of welcoming to the show Gabriela Eisenhart: the talented founder of Silo Studios in Atlanta, GA. With over a decade of experience & notable features in Architectural Digest and House Beautiful, Gabriela has made a name for herself designing beautiful spaces that blend personal stories with warmth and comfort.

In this episode, Gabriela shares her philosophy of slow design, which emphasizes the importance of thoughtfully curating your home over time rather than rushing to fill it with decor. She encourages listeners to choose pieces that hold personal significance, ensuring that your home reflects your evolving journey. Join us as we delve into Gabriela’s insights on creating elegant and meaningful spaces that tell your unique story.

Hi Julia,

Gabriela and the hosts adore your happy blue kitchen and the warmth your entry grasscloth brings! To streamline your space, Gabriela suggests continuing the grasscloth into the entry area to maintain a cohesive look without overwhelming your charming New York apartment. If you're drawn to the floral pattern you mentioned, stick to using it on the mirror wall and door wall only, leaving the beam in neutral tones to serve as a gentle divider between spaces.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, Julia. We hope these ideas help you create the perfect balance in your apartment!
