Peter Pennoyer Architects
Several years ago, passionate philanthropists Kelly and Scott Meuller had a vision for expanding and sharing their private art collection with the public through an endowment to the Cleveland Museum of Art. They went to the firm Peter Pennoyer Architects with the idea of building a house that would also be a museum, along with a sculpture park on 150 acres of land. What has emerged is called Rowdy Meadow. Every surface, every window, every last detail has been a collaborative process between the owner, architects, craftsmen, landscape architects and interior designers to create a home like nothing you've ever seen.

One Woman's Cinderella Story (and how you can have your own castle) with Carley Summers
My guest today is one of my favorite interiors photographers and she's also an accomplished, sought after designer. You'd never guess that her life was kind of in shambles a decade ago. I'll let Carley Summers tell her own story. Let me just say that I'm so happy to have met her and been introduced to her work. Along with her personal journey, we also talk about how to make sure you're making good decisions while you're thrifting and antiquing, why you can't have great style without having patience, and why we all deserve sacred spaces in our homes.
