We are chatting with Myquillyn Smith (also known as @thenester on the internet) about her new book, House Hushing! She breaks down the stories behind the book and gives us a preview of her unique approach—not about cold decorating or rigid organizing, but guiding principles to help your home truly reflect who you are. We talk through why traditional minimalism can feel a bit stark, how to build a home with real soul, and how she effortlessly mixes pieces from Crate & Barrel and Target to antiques and kids' treasures. Tune in for an inspiring, down-to-earth conversation on creating a warm space with soul.

You can learn more about Myquillyn Smith at her website, or on her Instagram at @thenester.
