Wellness Junkies | Beauty & Wellness Tips, Hacks, Recs & Reviews for Women 40+

Bringing back an early Nirvana Sisters episode to enjoy over the american Thanksgiving holiday. Many will be visiting family and friends so what better way to relax and listen to top designer Zoe Feldman sharing ideas for a home that nurtures your well-being.  

Amy and Katie sit down with interior designer Zoe Feldman to get her tips on creating a cozy, happy and inspiring home. Zoe’s advice is accessible for all and will quickly transform your space. The three discuss ways to reduce your environmental footprint when decorating and how Zoe’s design firm gives back by donating her consultation fee to charity. 

Amy reviews one of Katie’s all time favorite products and stay till the end to hear all three share how they maintain their daily Nirvana.

Zoe Feldman:
Zoe Feldman’s signature, seamless blend of modern and classic is rooted as much in her upbringing as it is in her early design training. Raised in a mid-century modern home by art and furniture collectors and gallerists, Zoe honed her clean-lined instincts at Parsons School of Design in New York. But she credits the subsequent years working under the tutelage of AD100 designer Alexa Hampton at the iconic Manhattan-based firm Mark Hampton, Inc, for opening her eyes to the benefits of a just-so, traditional approach.  

Since setting up her own practice in 2004, Zoe’s been bringing her unique take on modernized classicism to homes across the country, and her work has been featured in publications including Elle Decor, House Beautiful, and Domino. In 2020, she was named one of the Top 10 ‘New Trads’ by Traditional Home magazine, and ‘Best Boutique Interior Design Firm’ by Home & Design magazine. Zoe draws on her love of the practical, the playful, and the deeply personal to create spaces that are as inviting and soulful as they are sophisticated.
