Episode 1 Show Notes: Let’s Go Back to the Beginning... Welcome to Home, Addressed! We passionately believe that the best, most beautiful spaces tell our personal style stories. So in this first episode, we revisit the places and spaces that first introduced us to interior design: our childhood homes (s/o to our Moms!), our favorite tv and movie homes, and other formative people and places from our pasts.

Here are the three takeaways from this episode:

1)  Consider what you loved most about your childhood home and try to recreate those feelings. This can be searching out pieces of furniture (try digging through your parents’ attic!), revisiting paint colors you loved or cushy chairs where you read books. Engaging your senses in nostalgic sights, smells or sounds will likely bring joy and comfort.

2)  Jog your memory for other people you encountered who had great personal style: maybe it was that stylish old lady at church or a neighbor who decorated like no one was watching. Channel them to step outside of your comfort zone.

3)  Rewatch films, books, movies you loved as a kid and teenager for inspiration. This practice will make your inner child feel loved and also remind you that design trends are cyclical and classic pieces are timeless.
