    Color Drenching & Liz Gilbert's "All the Way to the River"

    In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I embrace the Halloween spirit by sharing my love for festive decorations and the joy of going all out with spooky decor. I then tackle a design question from Jess in Cleveland, who is seeking advice on color drenching for her baby boy's room. I discuss the pros and cons of using a rich bluey-green color, emphasizing the importance of considering how a child's belongings will interact with the color scheme. After that, I review Liz Gilbert's latest book, "All the Way to the River," expressing my disappointment with its lack of cohesive storytelling and engaging plot. I invite listeners to share their thoughts on both color drenching and Gilbert's book, and I look forward to bringing more design tips and pop culture insights in the next episode!
