In this episode of Real Talk with Sterling Real Estate Group, Lisa sits down with interior designer Julie Maleski Putzel of JMP Interiors for a behind-the-scenes look at how a designer really reads a home the moment they walk in the door - from visual chaos and layout flow to how people truly live in their spaces.

Julie shares how she solves design problems, why mood boards and in-home samples matter, and how emotional connection plays a huge role in creating spaces that actually work. Then the conversation shifts into holiday styling, including:

• Easy ways to make your home feel festive without overspending
• How to use greenery, scent, and “hero pieces” to elevate any space
• Small-space holiday decorating tips
• Holiday décor trends she loves (and a few she’s ready to retire)

Julie also talks about her cut flower farm, designing florals for weddings and events, and her free downloadable holiday styling guide with 12 designer-approved tips.

This episode is perfect for homeowners, holiday hosts, design lovers, and anyone who’s ever wondered how a designer really sees their space.
