My $1,000 Decorating Mistake (And the Lesson I Almost Missed)
In today's episode we're talking about mistakes...I have a lot to choose from, but I'm focusing on one that cost $1000 and became an apparent mistake about two years after making this particular decision.
I share honestly about one of my most expensive decorating mistakes: what I bought, why it felt so right in the moment, and the moment reality set in. But this isn't just a "don't do what I did" story. It's about what that mistake accidentally taught me about the difference between decorating for a trend and decorating for yourself, a lesson that ended up reshaping how I teach decorating altogether.
In this episode, I cover:
- The full story behind my $1,000 decorating mistake
- Why the purchase felt so right at the time, and what was actually happening underneath that decision
- What this mistake taught me about aesthetic vs. design style
- Why costly mistakes aren't a sign you have bad taste, they're often a sign you're decorating for the wrong thing entirely
Perfect for you if:
- You've made a decorating purchase you regret and haven't fully let go of the sting
- You second-guess decisions because of a past mistake
- You're tired of decorating advice that doesn't account for how you actually live
A heads up:
This episode kicks off a short series here on the podcast. Next episode, we're getting into exactly why so many capable, smart women get stuck decorating in the first place.
