Are you tired of the "Millennial Gray" flip? In this episode, we’re joined by interior designer Mimi Sheldon to discuss why the era of stark, sterile homes is fading and what’s taking its place. Mimi shares her journey from growing up on job sites in San Diego to launching her own design studio and navigating the unique architectural landscape of Portland.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The "Nancy Meyers" Aesthetic: Why "lived-in" coziness, natural materials (like marble and wool), and darker wood tones are making a major comeback.
• Design for Real Life: How to avoid "forcing habits" in a remodel and why the "work triangle" in your kitchen actually matters.
• Selling Your Home? Mimi breaks down the three most impactful, cost-effective updates you can make before listing (Hint: It’s not just about staging!).
• Personalization vs. Staging: How to strike the perfect balance between making a house feel like your home and keeping it a "blank canvas" for potential buyers.

Whether you’re planning a $400,000 remodel or just looking for the perfect botanical gin cocktail recipe, Mimi’s insights on "blind confidence" and timeless design are not to be missed.
