I have a lot of fun talking with my guest this week, Jewel Marlowe.  I've been dying to get to know her because I could tell from her style that she's someone who would probably make me laugh.  And she does not disappoint!  Jewel is the blogger behind Jeweled Interiors and also works as an interior designer.  She is a master of the mix, meaning she can take three objects that look like they have nothing in common and figure out how to make them all work in the same space using the magic of color, pattern and scale.  And luckily she's able to share how she does this during the episode.  Jewel has honed her talents over the 13 different homes that she's lived in as a military spouse.  So if any of you can relate to that, this one's for you!  (Replay from 2018)

My guest today is Danielle Postel-Vinay, author of "Home Sweet Maison: The French Art of Making a Home," which gives you a pretty good clue as to what we'll be talking about.  In Danielle's book, she encourages us to embrace the idea that our homes are our sanctuaries and a visual representation of who we are, which makes them very special places.  I'm so excited to share this conversation with you today!  (Replay from Feb 2020).

I am delighted to introduce you to the woman behind the rug and and linen brands Dash & Albert and Pinecone Hill.  Annie Selke is a true powerhouse of an entrepreneur and she’s also a lovely human being.  I remember when I first first encountered her Dash & Albert rugs, years ago, when I was poking around in specialty home decor shops in Maine.  I thought to myself, wow, those are not fun and colorful, I’ll be they will also stand the test of time.  And I was right!  Annie’s aesthetic is classic and timeless and elegant, but it’s also really, really fun.  Fast forward to this interview and my visit to meet her and her staff at her headquarters in Lenox, MA.  Her staff, by the way, love her, which says a lot about any business owner.  We met in her office and toured her warehouses and I also got to stay in her beautiful inn, decked out with all of her fabrics.

Kim Gordon is a designer, an artist and a business woman and best of all she’s incredibly talented when it comes to designing dream homes.  Not the kind of dream homes that are filled with luxury items, necessarily, but the kind of dream homes that really fulfill us in an emotional way, a creative way, and even a spiritual way.  Kim doesn’t shy away from the mystical, and get ready for that, because what I mean is that she connects your deepest desires with your intention for your home.  And then I’m telling you that everything just sort of works out magically in other areas of your life so I’m very excited to share her with you.
