Tis the season to decorate your home, prepare for guests, and feel that creeping sense of inadequacy when you look at perfectly curated Instagram houses. It’s so important to have the right perspective on home. Instead of keeping up with the latest trends, can we focus on cultivating homes that serve our families? Can we build a style with confidence because we like it rather than acquiesce to the latest consumerist craze? And can we stop worrying about the wrong way to decorate? We can! Because Paige Rien is here to help!
Paige Rien is a wife, mother, author, designer, former television designer and current recovering person, one day at a time. She is passionate about helping women work on their homes in a new way – by encouraging confidence, tuning out the noise of design media and focusing on each family’s authentic needs. Paige had a career on HGTV and has written two books,
Love the House You’re In and
Revived & Renovated. She lives in Maryland with her husband and four children and we love her Instagram account.
In this episode we talk about embracing the process of slow decorating, taking risks with design, and focusing on the important stuff rather than the ‘gram. Paige has so much wisdom to share about confidently building a beautiful home, releasing the obsession with perfection, and loving whatever stage we’re in. And all those baby things that throw off our aesthetic? Well, Paige has some really deep insights to gain perspective on the baby and toddler years. Paige is so fun and you’re going to love what she has to share! So grab a cup of tea and enjoy the conversation.
