251 // House Hushing: The Key to a Simple, Peaceful Home - with Myquillyn Smith

Do you feel overwhelmed in your home, even after you’ve decluttered? It may be that you need to “hush” it instead. Today I’m speaking to bestselling author Myquillyn Smith about her new book House Hushing: The Simple Method to Declutter and Decorate for a More Peaceful Home.

Hushing your home isn’t just about decluttering - it also quiet decorating, soulful styling, and living seasonally. It’s about finding harmony and being able to hear what your house is saying to you.

Myquillyn and I discuss:- why backwards decluttering is the high-reward, low-risk approach you’ve been looking for- how quiet decorating allows us turn down the volume of our house without getting rid of things- how to create a soulful home over time by layering in soul of the past, present, and futur- the edit/audit and plan/pick aspects of living seasonally and how to intentionally choose how you want to live in this season
