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.

Slow Style Home: Decorating Personal, Meaningful Interiors
Your Home Needs Art! with Danielle Krysa
Hello and welcome to the Style Matters podcast, brought to you by Little Yellow Couch. I'm Zandra, your host, and I'm so glad you're here but you've caught us during a break! That doesn't mean you should tune out, though, because during this break, I'm re-releasing some of my all time favorite episodes from the archives! And today, you'll hear from someone who really helps us understand why and how to bring original art into our homes. Danielle Krysa is an artist herself, she's also written several books about art and creativity, and she's the magician behind the very popular blog, The Jealous Curator, where she introduces us to and champions other artists, many of whom, you might want to bring into your home yourself. This episode was first released in 2016 and included my co-host, Karen Grant, so you'll hear her voice along with mine and Danielle's. If you're interested in checking out what she does, you can find links to her sites on the show notes page of these re-released episodes at littleyellowcouch.com. On a side note, I'd really like to encourage you to think about brining artwork that feels personal and meaningful to you into your home, even during this time of crisis. There are lots of ways to find artists online and support them while we're all stuck inside and not able to go to galleries or art fairs. Hopefully the corono-virus will not be taking over our lives for too much longer but we really don't know, do we? So my other purpose in re-releasing this and all of these older episodes is to give you something fun and inspirational to listen to and think about. I'll be back with all new interviews starting May 4th. Ok, let's jump back in time and hear what Danielle Has to say.
