Summary

Go ahead and pinch us because we can’t quite believe we get to introduce this week’s podcast guest, interior designer Miles Redd! We were beside ourselves when he agreed to sit down with us while recently in his hometown of Atlanta (and ours). Plus, he’s our first AD100 Designer on the podcast. Miles’ spaces are packed with style, drama, and whimsy, plus we were struck with how darn nice he is!  WHAT YOU'LL HEAR ON THIS EPISODE: Karen’s juju hat insect infestation The next addition Karen made to her ongoing guest bedroom project Taryn painted her carport Sherwin Williams Vogue Green Taryn needs help with her guest bathroom because her beadboard wainscoting makes it difficult to hang a mirror My all-time worst trial involving a ‘ceiling pimple’ How Miles got his start at NYU and made his way to John Rosselli His time at Oscar de la Renta Why it’s important to trust your own instincts and take risks Miles talks to us about color and why it’s all about relationships Why you should tackle your walls and floors first What it was like working on his parents’ home and why it was a lifelong fantasy Why he loves a door and all the fun things he does with them His thoughts on lampshades, including what everyone does wrong and how he jazzes them up His list of ‘greats’ Who he follows on Instagram (mostly his friends) We asked about his new office space, and he confirms that it’s just as glamorous and we imagined The one color he doesn’t like Miles’ decorating pet peeves
