Your House Is Talking to You | Myquillyn Smith on House Hushing

About this sermon

Your house is talking to you, and it is not shaming you. Myquillyn Smith (The Nester) on backwards decluttering and why your living room feels so loud. Myquillyn Smith, better known as The Nester, is back with Jen, this time on her own, and her new book House Hushing is out now. She walks us through backwards decluttering (pull the loose stuff out of one room, stash it somewhere else, live with that room for 48 hours, and let it prove its case), the threshold where a room tips from fine to too much, and why so many of us cross it earlier than our mothers did. We also get into the confession she hears most from women about their homes, the difference between a room that is quiet and a room that has no soul, how pattern and contrast work like volume dials you can turn up or down, why she owns seasonally instead of just owning less, and the ten minute fix for anyone whose house is currently yelling at them. This episode is part of our Say the Quiet Thing Out Loud series.
