  • Sit Down with an Actual Design Star!

    Beth walks among the giants of the set design world, and it’s incredible to have the opportunity to get the inside scoop on her process, and to see interiors through her eyes.

    Part Hollywood design tell-all, part practical how-to, and 100% inspirational, it all comes together to lend we listeners some of Beth’s genius to use in our own design projects, however humble or grand. It feels like we’re getting a million dollar experience, all for free. Bring on season 2!

    Wow. I feel so lucky to have found this. It's like overhearing a set decorator talking about great ideas at the next table in a restaurant and you furiously scribble them down! How lucky to have the benefit of Beth's knowledge for free. I have already tried the paint thing and can't wait to do more. Thank you for sharing your life's experience to make OUR lives better!!!
