Description:

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I share a hilarious story about my husband's unexpected birthday gift—a four-foot refrigerator for my bedroom, which left me both amused and bewildered as an interior designer. I also dive into a listener's question from Samantha in South Carolina, discussing her plans for a fireplace makeover and the pros and cons of using ginstone versus thin brick. We touch on TV placement, the trendy nature of shiplap, and the importance of selecting timeless materials for her space. Additionally, I recount a memorable client experience that highlights the emotional impact of design, reminding us how our living environments can transform our lives. As always, I encourage listeners to reach out with their design dilemmas, and I look forward to sharing more tips and stories in future episodes!
