FOREVER CREATING 16-Oct 2016 podcast
This week's guests are forever creating
From Flamenco to Forensics… Today’s guests are creative women. BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER: When is it good to be odd? When you’re arranging your home’s accessories. Just as you wouldn’t dream of wearing all the clothes you own at the same time, resist the temptation to display every single vase, sculpture, tchotchke you own. What’s the easiest combination? Follow these tips and your home will look like a designer styled it. PRO CORNER: Hear from the curator of the Latino Hispano Spanish Colonial collections at the Museum of Int’l Folk Art, Nicolasa Chavez. How was the color RED initially made? What is the difference between Spanish vs. Southwest styles? Which style was colorful and vibrant? Integrating different styles in your home, and what speaks to your heart. Also listen for how this Flamenco expert got her start. (Hint: it has to do with the Palace of the Governors’ courtyard). See the Flamenco exhibit thru Sept 2017, named as USA Today’s top 12 must see exhibitions. YOU DID IT: Forensic Psychologist Rebekah King is an inspiration. At age 12 she refinished a bedroom dresser, and hasn’t stopped since. (We should call her Queen of the 2x4). Now in addition to her day job, she builds furniture creatively and economically. Where does she get her inspiration? How did she convert a coffee table to an ottoman? She bought what at Home Depot? To follow see more of Rebekah’s projects on Pinterest, click here. Today’s music: Forever Young, sung by the Tenors. Remember, the best interior design is living with people you love. Let’s make your house a home, every Sunday at 2 (MT). |
