    In this episode of the Designers at Home series, I take you inside the home of designer Jo Berryman, a space that, to me, perfectly embodies what it means to honor both history and personal expression. As we move through her home together, I’m struck by how effortlessly she blends old and new, preserving original architectural details while layering in sculptural, modern elements and deeply personal touches. What I love most is how grounded her approach is in nature; nothing feels overly forced or decorated for decoration’s sake. Instead, there’s this beautiful sense of rhythm, of organic shapes, of materials aging and evolving over time. It’s a reminder that our homes don’t need to be perfect or finished—they just need to feel considered, alive, and reflective of who we are.

    Are you in the middle of a major life transition and feeling stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming? This episode is for you.
    Whether you’re navigating a career change, an empty nest, a move, or just a season of life that feels uncertain, your home doesn’t have to sit on pause while you wait for things to settle. In fact, the in-between might be the perfect time to start.
    In this episode we’re talking about why style evolves — and why that’s actually a good thing. You’ll hear the story of my own living room evolution (including a red couch, a blue chair, yellow walls, and what I can only describe as a kindergarten classroom) and the five hard-won design lessons that came out of it.
    You’ll also learn:
    Why you’re more creative than you think — and what creativity actually means when it comes to your home
    How to let go of what you’ve outgrown without guilt
    Why buying things to match is a trap, and what to do instead
    How to think about trends so you don’t get burned
    A simple, low-stakes exercise you can try this weekend to start training your eye
    Your home can reflect who you’re becoming — even before you fully arrive. Let’s get into it.

    The Beautiful, Incomplete Room with Shabby Chic’s Rachel Ashwell

    In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rachel Ashwell, and what stayed with me most wasn’t just her iconic aesthetic; it was her mindset. We talked about her move back to the English countryside, her need for the rhythm of the seasons, and how she approaches her home as something always evolving, never finished. From embracing “leftovers” and layering pieces with history, to letting go of perfection and even her own hesitation around bold choices, she reminded me that a home isn’t about getting it right, it’s about letting it reflect who you are in the moment… and giving yourself permission to keep changing.

    How Your “Comfortable” Home is Holding You Back with Vera Blouin

    2026/03/16 | 24 mins.
    Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!
    Interior designer Vera Blouin joins me to talk about her book, “The Reincarnated Room.” Vera sees the home as something that holds the history of who we’ve been, and through design, we can let go of those old layers and create spaces that support who we’re becoming. We explore how materials, light, and texture shape our emotional experience of a room, and why staying “comfortable” can sometimes keep us stuck instead of helping us grow. It’s a thoughtful conversation about how our homes evolve alongside us, and how design can become a tool for stepping into the next chapter of our lives. After our conversation, I slipped in some bonus content, a listener Q&A on what I do in terms of decorating between the holidays.

About 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.

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.
