Episode Description from the Publisher

Paloma plans a trip to Paris Deco Off trip while Caroline uses Lionsgate to manifest the number-one interior-design podcast, one “big, fabulous, juicy nugget” of a project, and a back that survives two dogs sleeping on her feet. Meg Braff joins for a gloriously wide-ranging conversation spanning her new book, Gracious Interiors, her vibrant wallpaper and fabrics line, her time as an ambassador for U.S. Cottton, Scorpio jewelry, Palm Beach light, and more. Along the way, she makes the case for client chemistry over giant budgets, starting every project with a floor plan, and letting the house tell you what it wants.Subscribe to the Substack for more: @theinstallpodcastYouTube: @theinstalldesignpodcastInstagram: @theinstallpodcastTik Tok: @theinstallpocastPaloma: www.palomacontreras.comInstagram: @palomacontrerasdesignTik Tok: @palomacontrerasdesignShopMy: @palomacontrerasCaroline: www.carolinegidiere.comInstagram: @carolinegidieredesignTik Tok: @carolinegidieredesignbtsShop My: @carolinegidiereChapters00:16 — School Days 01:31 — Paris Plans 06:25 — Manifesting 11:18 — Growing Pains 13:10 — Meg Braff 15:42 — Miss Cotton 18:04 — Morning Rituals 20:06 — Scorpio Club 22:46 — Shop Talk 27:39 — Pattern Archives 30:47 — Design Process 36:42 — Client Chemistry 39:19 — Floor Plans 42:09 — Rapid Fire 45:06 — Guest Edit 49:26 — Book Tour
