Slow Style Home: Decorating Personal, Meaningful Interiors
You want a home that’s uniquely you. One that reflects your passions, values and lifestyle. And you want to create one on your own, without having to hire a designer, breaking the bank, or hurting the planet. The challenge is that there are too many voices telling you what trend to jump on, what rules you must follow, and what “beautiful” looks like. Plus, you don’t want to scrap everything you own and start all over. It’s hard to know how to wrap your arms around this big, important concept called “home!” On this podcast, you’ll learn from the experts exactly why some rooms work (and others don’t), how to master a mix of styles and preferences when you have a bunch of them jumbled together, and inspiration for being brave and taking the creation of your dream home into your own hands.

My guest today is Haskell Harris, the style director at the lifestyle magazine Garden and Gun and author of her first book, 'The House Romantic.' In our conversation, we explore Haskell's philosophy on creating a meaningful and beautiful home, which aligns closely with my Slow Style philosophy. Haskell shares insights from her book, emphasizing the importance of infusing homes with items that hold personal meaning, such as heirlooms and cherished books. We also discuss the interplay of different styles, the value of investing in quality linens, and the significance of incorporating old pieces to add character. Haskell talks about her approach to maintaining authenticity in home design, respecting the original features of a house, and bringing in personal stories and elements from past homes. We touch on the importance of gardens and natural elements in home design and how Haskell integrates these into her living spaces. Lastly, Haskell shares updates on her current home projects, including a newly finished bed nook in her office and a faux-painted living room, highlighting her ongoing love for creative home decor.
