How to Make Your House a Home (Ft. Jenny...

JORDAN LEE DOOLEY
About this episode

Have you been wanting to create both a beautiful and functional space when it comes to your home?  

Maybe you've been searching Pinterest boards for inspiration on how to redesign a room in your house, but you're not sure how to make an aesthetically pleasing space that also works for your family (and has room for piles of kids' items).

You want a space that looks beautiful and feels welcoming... but what about the messiness and craziness that comes with having a home? Why doesn't your house look clean and put together like the homes you see on HGTV?

In this episode, Jordan talks with HGTV designer Jennie Marrs about how to make your house a home and have the grace to embrace the imperfection that comes with it.

Tune in to learn:

  • Why your home shouldn’t be a reflection of the latest trends, but a reflection of the family that lives there
  • Questions to ask before working on any space in your home
  • How the idea of drop zones can help you create more functional spaces
  • How to show yourself grace when it comes to mess in the home
  • Tips for creating functional spaces with little kids
