BONUS: How to decorate for the seasons without buying more stuff. (A conversation with Myquillyn Smith, The Nester)

Welcome to this BONUS episode of the 10 Things To Tell You podcast, I am so excited to share another author interview, especially because Myquillyn Smith - aka The Nester - has been someone I’ve followed online for YEARS and years, but we had never actually spoken until we recorded!

Myquillyn has influenced the way I think about my home through her blog and then social media and then her books, starting with The Nesting Place, and then the Cozy Minimalist Home, and now, her latest release this fall titled Welcome Home. Her book and our conversation revolves around decorating your home for the SEASONS without buying a bunch of expensive decor that you then have to store, and also signaling to yourself and to your family the cycle of the year - EVEN when you live in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t change much.
