When I sat down with Lauren Emerson and Genevieve Hewson of Walter G., I was transported into the world of block printing, where craftsmanship and soul meet.  We spoke about the philosophy behind 'slow style,' emphasizing the importance of handmade and artisan products and the ethical considerations of their creation. We discuss the unique tactile and visual qualities of handmade fabrics and the stories they carry into our homes. Lauren and Genevieve share their personal experiences and inspirations from their travels, particularly their time in India, where they learned traditional block printing techniques. We also touch on their approach to design, inspired by antique and global motifs, and their seamless integration of traditional and modern elements. Join us for an insightful conversation that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the beauty and soul embedded in every Walter G design.

In this episode of the Slow Style Home Podcast, I sat down with Michael Bartz, a homeowner who built and lives in a tiny home with his partner and three cats. Michael's journey to sustainable living began in 2015 after a life-changing breakup, leading him to question traditional housing and embrace the tiny house lifestyle. He built his 175-square-foot mobile home in his brother's backyard over four years, relying on YouTube, books, and the National Tiny House Jamboree for guidance. Michael later found a perfect spot to park on an elderly couple's farm, facilitating a community-oriented living arrangement. We discussed the challenges and rewards of off-grid living, the importance of aligning home design with personal values, and the impact of his podcast, 'In Over My Head.' Michael's story highlights the potential for a fulfilling, lower-impact lifestyle through intentional living and creative problem-solving.

Through photo examples from their projects, we analyze how they skillfully mix materials, colors, and eras even in children’s rooms.

In this episode of the Slow Style Home podcast, I talk with Abi Dare, author of 'The Soft Minimalist Home' and the 'These Four Walls' blog. We discuss her unique take on minimalism, which is not just about having fewer things but about making space for what truly matters. Abi explains that minimalism is an approach rather than a rigid style, and how her synesthesia influences her preference for a neutral and calm home environment. She highlights that minimalism can look different for everyone—whether it's a calm, neutral space or a vibrant room full of art. We also talk about practical examples from her book, which includes homes that are both colorful and minimalist. The conversation emphasizes the importance of creating a home that reflects your personality and supports your well-being. We also discuss why style matters and how decluttering and intentional design can lead to a more fulfilling home environment.
