As a mom of littles and a wedding photographer, one of my favorite things to do during nap time or while editing is turn on this podcast! If I ever stepped away from photography, interior design would be my dream career, and this podcast totally feeds that passion. It inspires me to make bold choices in my own home and tackle projects I might not have considered before. Their warm energy and the way they explain things make every episode such a joy to listen to.
Best podcast of ALL time

This is my all time favorite podcast! I love design and love the wealth of information that is shared, but I also enjoy the personalities of these three people. The way they interact and talk about life and design is so much fun! I am currently in the process of building our dream custom home, and I came across this podcast at the perfect time. It has helped validate and inspire me in all of my decision making. I have been binge listening to the entire podcast non stop!

I have never listened to this program before, but I had to turn it off after the 20th time these hosts mispronounced the name of a stone they were claiming to be experts in. It’s not Calcutta. It’s Callacatta Viola. It’s Italian, not a region in India I wouldn’t expect most people to know this difference, or frankly, to care about the pronunciation of an overpriced, much-too-trendy stone, but, any expert designer knows this difference. I couldn’t suffer through the third hand embarrassment I had for these three after that.
My Zen Time!
