Episode 615: Breaking Free from Decorating “Rules”: Creating a Home You Love Part 2

Kathi and bestselling author Myquillyn Smith, also known as “The Nester,” continue their discussion about breaking free from judgmental voices and decorating rules, and learning to create a home you love. They discuss:

• Why you don’t have to fill every empty space
• Using the concepts of “house hushing” and “one sane space” to quiet your quarters
• Getting past perfectionism to love your space your way
• Learning that luxury can mean needing less, not having more
• Embracing the power of having just one room as your 'sane space' during chaotic times
• Making your own personal 'house rules' for your home
• Cultivating gratitude by making a 'we did it' list of everything accomplished, big or small, in your home
• The value of loving your space enough that it doesn’t matter what others think

The episode includes practical tips for listeners who struggle with perfectionism and clutter, and encourages everyone to focus on making their house a place they love, not a showroom for others' approval.
