In this episode of the podcast, Meghan Heeter discusses her transition from full-time interior designer to design principal at Ättlingar, the company she founded with former client Siri Eklund. Dedicated to designing and crafting historically inspired medicine cabinets, mirrors, and other accessories for the bathroom, each piece is handmade in the USA using traditional Swedish woodworking techniques. But, as we discover during Veronica’s interview with Meghan, she and Siri, and the rest of the Attlingar team, are nearing the launch of a new collection of mohair fabrics and historically inspired wallpapers.

Susan Barrett, of Barrett Barrera Projects in St. Louis, is Veronica’s podcast guest this month. Many of you may know of Susan through her work in the art world, where she develops exhibitions for tour, produces artists’ collaborations, and provides management and consultation of private art collections. In today’s episode, Susan shares the exciting details of a new, years-long project that helped transform two sprawling Victorian houses into a combined historic house museum in Joplin, Missouri. The restoration and interior design of both the Schifferdecker and Zelleken residences called for a complete immersion into the fascinating lives of two immigrant families who rose to prominence in the heartland in the late 19th century. From the furniture to the wallpapers, the clothes to the kitchen utensils; through books, toys, art, and so much more, Susan’s vision brings the families’ worlds to life. Historic house enthusiasts will appreciate Susan’s dogged pursuit of authentic home decor and furnishings totaling 10,000 items, including a stunning sofa purchased at auction from the estate of the late Vogue fashion editor André Leon Talley.
