TBT: Online Auctions and Finding the Perfect Pillows

Duration: 00:25:50

Description:

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I open up about the loss of my beloved dog and how it has impacted my start to 2026. Instead of a typical episode, I decided to do a throwback focusing on throw pillows and online auctions. I reflect on my past year, the challenges of moving to Connecticut, and my desire to regain a sense of direction in my life and work. I share my newfound obsession with online auctions, recounting a humorous story about bidding on memorabilia from a house we considered buying, which I plan to gift to my husband. I also answer a listener's question about finding quality throw pillow inserts and covers, recommending various online resources. Lastly, I encourage listeners to participate in our contest by leaving a five-star review on iTunes for a chance to win my online interior design class.

- Reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the new year can provide clarity and direction in both personal and professional life. - Online auctions can be a fun and budget-friendly way to find unique home items, but it's easy to get carried away and spend more time and money than intended. - When sourcing throw pillows, opting for down alternative inserts from stores like Pottery Barn and exploring unique pillow covers on sites like Etsy can yield high-quality and customizable results.
