Episode 300: Creating a Home of Purpose with Rachel Van Kluyve

Today my guest is Rachel Van Kluyve. Whether you’re decorating your first house, looking for an affordable refresh for one room, or planning an entirely new concept as part of a renovation, one question provides the adequate jump start for any project. Where do I begin? It can be a challenge to know where to start in each scenario to make the various rooms in a home truly work—and work together—to fulfill one’s needs. Thankfully, popular blogger and designer Rachel Van Kluyve gets to the heart of how to create intention in any room in She Made Herself a Home: A Practical Guide to Design, Organize, and Give Purpose to Your Space. 

Especially during this time when we’re all at home, I had fun discussing things I could do around my house to make things more functional and beautiful. Maybe this will give you some new ideas too to really love where you live!

Ooak is constantly innovating a new category of toothbrushes and flossers. They have created (with the help of dental hygienists) a toothbrush with V-Shape tapered bristles to conform to the shape of your teeth which allows the outer bristles to stimulate the gumline. They want to prevent a generation of people with really white, straight teeth that fall out of their mouths because they don’t take care of their gums. I especially love their flosser. It’s like a Swiss Army Knife of flossers! Their products are amazing and I’d love for you to check them out on Amazon.
