Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast. I'm Gwen Smith,

and I'm really glad you've joined me today. Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations,

all to help you know and trust God more. Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always

practical, and they're going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace

of Jesus in the midst of cluttered, messy

days.

You got any of those?

I know I do, and I can't wait to get to today's show, which is all about creating an

inviting home during every season.

My guest is Michael and Smith. Known for her cozy minimalist design aesthetic,

Michaelin is a decorator, author, and the woman known in the blogging community as The Nestor.

Today, she and I hunker down for a helpful and inspirational conversation about decorating

and hosting in the fall, winter, spring, and summer with less stuff and more style.

Let's face it, it can be easy for us to become overwhelmed when we think of lugging out boxes of decorations to transition our homes between seasons.

We often have to jump hurdles of

emotions, expectations, and frustrations that trip us up and wreak havoc on both our hearts

and our homes. Michaelin gives some great tips and tricks about how she decorates for the season

rather than the holiday.

Today's episode is fun, and it's going to help you style your home, declutter your expectations,

and set aside your perfectionism by pointing you to what really matters in decorating, in life,

and in faith. Hey guys, I just want to say a quick thank you to all of you in the Graceology community who have rated this show on iTunes or who have written a short review. It makes such a big difference. So if you happen to be listening and you've not yet done it, I would really appreciate it if you would.
