In this episode, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Nina Watson, a designer whose thoughtful and intentional approach to her home perfectly embodies the Slow Style principles I teach. As we talked, her stories brought these principles to life, offering real-world examples of how they can transform not just our spaces, but the way we live in them.

We explored how Style Evolves through her reimagined design choices, like lightening molding in her kitchen to better serve the space. Nina’s process reminds us that living with our design choices helps us understand and refine them over time. We also explored the principle that Life Informs Style. For Nina, this means creating spaces that are practical and reflective of her family’s routines and needs. Nina spoke about how Style Reflects Your Values. Her home is a testament to sustainability and the joy of storytelling. From upcycled flea market treasures to her custom ruby-red front door, every element is chosen with care and intention. Nina’s designs aren’t just beautiful—they tell the story of her family, their values, and the life they’re building together.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or uncertain about your home, this episode is full of inspiration to embrace the Slow Style principles. Nina’s approach shows how design can be a joyful, reflective process that helps us create spaces that feel truly our own.
