A Design Magazine Editor’s Tips For Creating A Beautiful Home: The Home Hour, Episode 85

Today, we’re getting back to basics and talking about how to simply make a home pretty! On this episode, Graham and Kirsten chat with professional stylist, tastemaker, and busy mom of two, Steele Marcoux about simple and affordable ways to make a typical home feel photo shoot worthy. We also get a fun look behind the scenes at what goes into creating some of those beautiful shots we all see in magazines, how to spot which trends are worth emulating and which ones to skip, and how to balance a desire for a beautiful home with the realities of sticking to a budget and living with children. Steele is the current editor of Coastal Living Magazine, a former editor of Southern Living Magazine and Country Living Magazine, and a freelance contributor to such publications as HGTV Magazine and Better Homes and Gardens. She’s also one of Graham’s besties! Links we mentioned on the show: * My O’verlays * Coastal Living * Natural Area Rugs  Giveaway! $250 My O’verlays® Gift Card for one Home Hour Listener!
