Welcome to another episode of Confessions of an Interior Designer!

Today, host Caroline Turner sits down with Erin and Matt of Kismet House. Together, the pair share how they balance design, family, and their very different approach to both their personal and professional challenges. Erin opens up about her journey from hobbyist decorator to the founder of Kismet House, the power of vulnerability in design, and the lessons learned from sharing her life online. Matt offers his perspective on shifting his career after a firefighting injury, and how to support your wife in her vision as a designer.
