Welcome to this new episode of the Decorate Like A Design Boss podcast. In today’s episode I continue my goal to teach you how to create a beautiful, well designed space, one that truly resonates with you. And this time I talk about one of my favorite projects of all time: a large space, limited budget and the quest to decorate in a meaningful and soulful way. Tune in as I go over my 10 step process to create a home that has a soul while I tell the story about working on one project that was challenging but at the same time fulfilling.
