5/3/2024
Is the thought of shopping for a new couch intimidating?
In today's episode I'm talking with Alex Back, CEO and founder of couch.com. He's worked extensively with partners such as Costco, Bed Bath and Beyond and Amazon and his work has been highlighted in many publications such as Forbes, CNN and HGTV, among others. Alex is delighted to bring his experience and authority on couches and the furniture industry to this platform, along with many of his industry colleagues who are helping him keep the Couch.com audience informed and engaged on a daily basis.
During our conversation Alex shares the concept behind his site couch.com and how you can use it as a tool when you are shopping for a sofa for your home. Going beyond the question 'what style should I get,' Alex's site helps you navigate the confusing world of purchasing a couch, demystifying the process with suggestions of: where to go, how to negotiate pricing, brand comparison, online shopping or in store shopping and SO much more.
Alex is a wealth of knowledge and our conversation just scratches the surface of how to buy a couch the easy way! Whether you are currently couch shopping or may do so later, I encourage you to get familiar with his site so you can use it as a resource when you are ready. https://couch.com

245 // Do you have too much stuff and not enough storage? 2 tips for reducing clutter
4/30/2024
Do you have too much stuff and not enough storage?
In this episode, I'm answering a listener's question who asks: How do I reduce visual clutter if I have minimal storage? Decluttering is always a a solution, but HOW do you declutter and HOW do you make sense of how much to keep and how much to get rid of? When we think of our home as having natural physical boundaries within each room, we can begin to compartmentalize the smaller areas within each room, helping us to create more physical boundaries to place our things. Once those physical boundaries are full, it's a clear indication that we have enough - too much even.
But how do we know what items to rid our homes of? Understanding your personal aesthetic is a critical piece of that decluttering puzzle. Knowing which design elements make up your aesthetic will help you identify which items should stay and which should go.

243 // 3 ways you could be making decorating your home harder than it has to be
4/19/2024
Do you ever wonder why it's SO hard to decorate your home?
In today's episode we're talking about 3 ways you could be making decorating harder than it has to be and what to do about it. Here it is in a nutshell...get help!
If you are wanting a home that looks different (no matter WHAT that different is) tomorrow than it does today, get help. Somehow it's second nature to ask for help when we need to fix our toilet, lose weight or do our taxes, but somehow it feels frivolous when it comes to our homes.
But, friend, your home environment is SO INCREDIBLY important - it nurtures you the way food nurtures you, the way kind words nurture you. Taking care to make intentional decisions is important and going it alone can be frustrating, overwhelming and down right confusing.
Help doesn't always mean 'hire the fancy' designer...though it could.
Help doesn't always mean 'take a course'...though it could.
Help could literally mean asking your MIL who always seems to have a beautiful home, what her secrets are. How HONORED she would be for you to ask that question.
As I share three things that could be holding you back in home decorating I want to you to ask the next question so you can go deeper and take the next right step. And if you have questions about what that could be for you, but don't have a MIL to ask - I'd be happy to answer. Email me at: hello@figandfarmathome.com

4/12/2024
What rules are you following when you're decorating your home?
In today's podcast episode I'm speaking with special guest, New York Times Bestselling author, Myquillyn Smith about this idea that when it comes to our homes there should be suggestions and guidelines to follow - never hard and fast rules.
Myquillyn agrees that design is teachable and inside her new book (releasing April 24, 2024) House Rules, she shares the guidelines that will help us navigate this journey of creating homes we love.
In today's conversation, we focus our attention on an often misunderstood and controversial topic in home decorating...buying REAL house plants. Myquilin teaches us a new perspective on viewing the purchase and use of real house plants even if we claim to have not one, but two black thumbs!

241 // Does your house feel boring, embarrassing, blah? 2 tips for using how it feels to inspire your design
4/5/2024
How does your home FEEL?
When it comes to decorating our homes, we often stay stuck in a place of reason. Understandably so, especially when it comes to making practical decisions based on budget, decisions surrounding big ticket items, long term choices, etc. But FEELING shouldn't be dismissed.
Knowing how you feel about your home in it's current state affects how you want your home to feel. And that feeling should be a filter for making decisions, just as much as your budget and your aesthetic are filters for making decisions.
In this episode we're talking about how feeling should be just as important as understanding your aesthetic and how to use it to inform decision making.
So...how do you feel about your home?

3/26/2024
Do you ever wonder...where do you START when you want to decorate your home or re-fresh a single room?
Starting BIG with a purchase could possibly be the worst thing you could do as you begin re-designing your home. So, put away your credit card and grab a notebook and a pen because you'll want to pay attention to the DETAILS.
Learning your design style is not just an important step. It's THE MOST IMPORTANT first step, so what details do you pay attention to? All of them!
Your style is more nuanced than the global terms that are tossed around left and right. Your style is more YOU than it is Farmhouse. It's more YOU than it is Boho. It's more YOU than it is Traditional. Cottage. Country. Industrial. Fill in the BIG global design style. Once you understand what your style is, you have the freedom to mix and match.
Do you like a little Cottage and a little Industrial, but wonder how to blend the two? Looking at the fine details of the design elements you gravitate toward will help!

237 // She thought she had decision fatigue, but she DOESN'T: A behind the scenes look inside Home Design 101 coaching with student, Susan
3/22/2024
"I have decision fatigue!"
These were the words my Home Design 101 student, Susan, said when we were talking about her couch. Decision Fatigue is when you are so overwhelmed with the myriad of choices in front of you that you don't know how to narrow it down in order to make a design decision. Turns out, Susan does NOT have decision fatigue. She knows EXACTLY what she wants. Why? How? Susan is learning to understand her unique design style and she's applying that style to the decision surrounding her couch. What's the problem then? The problem is that we haven't looked long enough for a couch that meets her aesthetic. I have full confidence that we'll find it.
In this behind the scenes look at Office Hours inside of Home Design 101, Susan has several other ah-ha moments. Those teeny tiny side tables she inherited from her parents. They hold a lot of power. So much power that they are dictating bigger decisions like which dining table to purchase. How can something that small have so much power? We talk about it inside Office Hours and we're inviting you in on the conversation.

3/15/2024
Have you started decorating for spring?
Decorating your home for spring doesn't mean you have to put out all the eggs, bunnies and carrots. Though those can be cute in vignettes, it can also cheapen the presentation of your home decorating. Instead of decorating overtly with spring elements, try decorating with the allusion to spring.
In this episode I share five tips that help you allude to spring in your decorating and by doing THAT, you immediately elevate the look of your home's design.
1. Spring clean - including decluttering, airing out and rearranging
2. Bring the outdoors in, but first you need to go outdoors to gather inspiration
3. Shop the house for things you already own that allude to spring
4. Re-enter items into your room in layers - double and triple checking your choice before styling
5. Take a picture to check your volume and location of decorations

3/12/2024
What's my design style?
It's the age-old question. What's my style? What name can I give it? What box can I put it in to make my job of decorating my home easier?
The hard truth: those home decorating style quizzes DON'T make your job easier. They make it harder...a LOT harder.
Your design style can be labeled, but it should be labeled by you and you alone. Why? Because you and I can both be looking at the exact same picture with the same design style label and interpret it two different ways.
Inside the BACK TO BASICS BOOTCAMP I teach you how to learn your design style...not just how to recognize a pretty picture. I teach you the nuances that make up your style and help you make a label that YOU understand. When you do that...you UNLOCK the secret to learning how to decorate your home.

3/8/2024
Live Organized by Design with Kimberly Armstrong
In today's episode I'm chatting with interior designer and home organization expert, Kimberly Armstrong of Armstrong Design Collective. We chat about designing a space based on functionality before beauty, the art of organized living and being conscious consumers so we know what we're bringing into our homes so we can live BIG even in small spaces.
Organization isn't just about everything having a place to call home, it's about functionality and having homes that serve the family well through intentional organizational planning.
"When you start with a blank space, you can make better space for the things you have to store." - Kimberly Armstrong
Learning the art of conscious consuming is at the heart of having an organized space. You'll learn that conscious consuming is being mindful of what you're bringing into your home and why. You can be a conscious consumer when you ask yourself:
1. Do I need it?
2. What's the cost of the item (both monetary and physical)?
3. Where's it going to live?
4. Does it add value to my home in a way that serves my family?

How do you see the BIG PICTURE vision for your home's design?
It starts in the unlikeliest of places and it starts very, very small!
When we think of creating a big picture vision for our homes, we immediately think about putting all of our favorite things into one place and most of us put those things onto Pinterest boards.
But using Pinterest in this capacity only confirms only one thing: that we know how to identify pretty pictures. That is a great start, but identifying pretty pictures and translating those to your home are two separate skills.
