Grandma's Silver

In this episode of Grandma's Silver, I sit down with Lindsey Martin, founder of Paloma Home Interiors, to explore the soulful side of design—steeped in memory, meaning, and materials that last.

Paloma has quickly become a go-to destination for grandmillenials and vintage-style devotees seeking ethically sourced, heirloom-quality pieces with a contemporary twist. With a background in international affairs and a passion for heritage craftsmanship, Lindsey brings a thoughtful, globally informed perspective to the world of interiors, one that honors tradition while pushing gently toward the future.

We discuss the power of textiles in storytelling, the legacy of the pieces we choose to live with, and how sustainable design can still feel luxurious and livable. You'll also hear about our special collaboration (eek!), and why the Paloma approach resonates with those looking to create homes full of warmth, history, and heart.

Step inside the storied halls of The Greenbrier, one of America's most iconic resorts, with Cam Huffman, Director of Public Relations. In this episode, we explore the legacy of leisure and luxury at this West Virginia estate—from its presidential ties and high society traditions to its distinctive interiors shaped by the bold vision of Dorothy Draper.

We discuss what makes The Greenbrier more than a destination: its role in shaping the American summer escape, the rituals and traditions that have stood the test of time, and how resort culture continues to capture our imaginations today.

In a digital age, there's something meaningful about a handwritten note or beautiful illustration. In this episode, I'm joined by Jennifer Hunt, founder of Dogwood Hill—a beloved brand bringing artful, heirloom-worthy stationery back to the center of our celebrations and connections.

Jennifer shares the story behind the brand's beginnings, her love of tradition, and how Dogwood Hill has grown into a collective of artists who create exquisite paper goods for weddings, holidays, and everyday kindnesses. We talk about the ritual of letter-writing, the emotional resonance of thank-you notes and invitations, and why beautiful paper still matters.

This episode is a love letter to slower, more thoughtful communication—and to the idea that our traditions are keepsakes.
