Hey there you're listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I'm Kendra Adachi and I'm

here to help you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the

things that don't. Today is a very special bonus episode how to decorate for the

holidays. I am joined by my absolute favorite lazy genius when it comes to

decorating your home, Mike Wollen Smith, aka the Nestor. The Nestor is the author of

three books, The Nesting Place, Cosy Minimalist Home, and Welcome Home. All books

I absolutely adore. I give Cosy Minimalist Home as gifts to people all the

time. Mike Wollen is so good at helping people be a cozy minimalist, which is

having the greatest amount of style with the least amount of stuff. All based on

what style you love and how much or little stuff you want to have. There is

so much permission in her work but also a ton of practicality like heaps and

home feels good and like me and actually really pretty because of Michael and

influence over the last few years. So today we are going to talk about

decorating but specifically for the season and not just for the holiday for both.

Even if you're familiar with the Nestor and her ideas, I think this episode is a

fantastic reminder of how to see the next few weeks in such a way that your home

feels cozy and wintery and eventually Christmasy if you want it to without

going in the wrong order. She is the queen of going in the right order which is a

very important lazy genius principle. The audio was a little wonky in some

parts so thank you for listening to audio that's gonna sound different than

mine does right now but it's not weird or loud or unlistenable it's just
