Meet Kelly Stone, founder of Kelly Stone Interiors. Brittney and Bri go deep on how Kelly went from Pilates instructor and mom of twins to a luxury interior designer running multi-million-dollar projects, a warehouse, and a creative team—plus the real work behind “Pinterest-perfect” homes. We cover starting from zero, finding first clients, pricing (flat fee vs hourly), scaling a studio, working with athletes/celebs, social media that actually converts, and 2025 design trends (hello, color-drenched rooms + wallpaper).

Why Listen

• Step-by-step: how to break into interior design (without a design degree)
• The exact early moves: free projects → referrals → first paid package
• What budgets really cover (and how Kelly designs “the dream,” then value-engineers it)
• Building a team, running warehouses, avoiding vendor disasters
• Trend talk: moody palettes, marble, statement lighting, and the death of “millennial gray”
• Client chemistry, saying no, and staying creative across 10–12 concurrent projects
