How Design Can Transform Your Life: “Spatial Alchemy” with Olga Naiman
In this episode, I talk with Olga Naiman, author of Spatial Alchemy, about how design can help us move through change, break old patterns, and support who we’re becoming. Olga shares how her own journey—starting with something as simple as reupholstering a chair—led her to a deeper understanding of the connection between our homes and our inner lives.We get into the core idea of spatial alchemy: using design not just to make things look nice, but to reflect and support real emotional shifts. Olga walks us through how small design choices—like moving a desk, upgrading your water glass, or changing what you look at every day—can help us feel more grounded, clear, and aligned.This isn’t about buying more stuff or getting it “right.” It’s about tuning into how your space is affecting you, and how small shifts can open up real change.

In this edition of the Fix My Room series, I share a one-on-one coaching call with Charlotte, we discuss how to blend her style with the house's current rustic design.

The Strategic Use of Color: Transforming Builder-Grade Spaces with Gabriela Eisenhart
My guest today for our “Think Like A Designer” series is Gabriela Eisenhart, founder of Silo Studio Design. We cover a lot of bases in this conversation: finding inspiration for a “wow” moment in a kitchen; how to use color in a mostly neutral living room; mixing heavy and light layers to create a serene bedroom; what to do with that empty area you may have on the 2nd floor landing space; and the biggest bang for your buck when you’re trying to outfit a home or room that has no obvious architectural style. In other words, maybe it’s a builder-grade shell and you want to personalize it and give it some character! Want to finally define your style?
