It’s a philosophy
Myquillen expresses her wisdom and knowledge uniquely well. I always learn and become inspired and peaceful when I listen.
P.S. please tell us the name of the beautiful furniture catalog that inspires you! 💜
Interior Designer here… Myquillyn has given me the heart behind my designs.
I look forward to this podcast each week. I’m an interior designer and there is no other designer/class that has inspired me to practically love my home more than Myquillyn has!! She has helped give me the heart behind what I do in my home and my client’s home as well. She’s the encouraging, soothing guru that you wish you could sit at their feet and just listen to whenever she’s willing to talk! Thankful for the past 13 years that she has allowed me via her blog, Instagram, books and now podcast to learn from!! Follow all her things. I promise you will not regret it!
My husband hates this show
My husband hates this show. Every time I listen, I start rearranging furniture (one of my favorite pastimes anyway) and asking him weird questions about the feelings he gets when he walks in specific rooms. He’s not a fan. I, on the other hand, have never been more in love with my cozy house.
