Hi! How are you? Give me a hug. Oh, come on in, I'm so excited to see you!
Can I get you anything to drink? Do you want any coffee, water, tea, wine... seltzer?
Yea, seltzer? Okay, I love a good bubble, too. I'll get you some seltzer. Oh, do you
just mind taking your shoes off? I'm so sorry... It's a shoes off house.
I know... but, yeah... thank you. Really appreciate it. Okay, so I'll let you get
settled here... and I'm gonna head into the kitchen grab us some drinks and I'll
meet you in the living room so we can sit down and have a little chitty-chat.
Okay, I'll see you in a minute.
Thank you again so much for coming today.
I'm so happy that we get to have this little chat and get to tell you a
little bit more about why I have such a love for home and really what home means
to me. I'm often asked where this career started for me and I seem to always
start to tell the story after college when I was asking myself what I was
really most passionate about and what was really going to bring me the
fulfillment I was looking for in a career. However... haha... like I'm sure many of you
I decided to ask myself that question after college... and not before college... haha, but
I guess to be fair a lot of stuff changes between the beginning of college
and after college and what we know about ourselves. So, you know give myself a
little leeway on that... haha.. but, um, truly when I look back now on my life I can see
that this all began decades earlier for me. I mean, since I was a child I have had
a passion for all of the domestic elements that go into making a home. So
much so that there was a point in my life where I actually told my friends I
just wanted to be a stay-at-home dad... haha... and not because I wanted to stay home, but
because I loved creating and caring for a home and the people within it. And, it
was really the best way I could put my finger on exactly what made me happy.
When I think about the organizing, and the decorating, and the cooking, and the
cleaning, and the entertaining, and the habits, and the routines, and all that
stuff that goes into making a warm and welcoming environment of a home
that was until this day still is something I get truly excited about and
just have this innate passion for. I mean, I've always loved learning all of those
things and trying to figure out ways to really make them better in my life, as
well as other people's lives. And I just think from the people within it to the
physical environment itself a home is an incredibly special place.
I actually really like to look at our homes as a big blank canvas that becomes
an expression of our lives. When we think about all the things that we bring into
a home... the furniture, the art, the plants, the lighting, the heirlooms, the memories,
all of that stuff... all the way down to the dishes and the utensils... it all
becomes an expression of ourselves. It tells the story of who we are, where
we've been, where our families have been, and I think even ultimately who we
want to be and where we want to go. And then we all, you know, we all take those
items that we've brought in and we curate them very differently in our homes...
on our canvases... to really be that expression of ourselves. To be the home
that we want. The home to keep us warm, keep us safe, and inspire us for tomorrow.
And, we also get to choose who we want to share that expression with and how we
want to share with people. It's an incredibly intimate and special
thing. It's something I've always been fascinated by and really happy that I've
been able to help other people with. When I think about what home means to me...
it really has always been my sanctuary, as I'm sure it has been for many of you,
too. It's been that rock and that stability that, that place that
foundation, of the place that I can retreat to at the end of the day to
restore myself, to rest, so that I can go back out and continue to march on. That's
something that I've been very grateful for and lucky to have had... and, um...
something that I've really cherished throughout my life. It's also something
that I've been very happy to bring to other people's lives as well. Gosh, it's
been almost 10 years now that I've been bringing my passion to life through my
organization and design business. Helping my clients to really create more of a
complete home. I've helped them to move, declutter, organize, decorate, design custom,
closets, plan parties, and really just find simple solutions that make everyday
life better and make their homes work better for them. It's really been a dream
come true to bring my skills and this passion to life in this way to help
people. I've even been so blessed to have been able to touch millions of other
people's lives through the work that I've done on TV, in newspapers, magazines,
and online... through working with people like Dr. Oz, Good Morning America,
being a regular guest on Katie Couric's talk-show, O Magazine, Real Simple
Refinery29, Brit + Co... all the way to my column in Good Housekeeping magazine...
it's truly been an honor to be a part of all of that and to touch so many people.
You know for some time now I wanted to share more of the tips and ideas and all
of this fun stuff that I love on a regular basis... which is why we're here
today... to begin the journey of sharing all of that. Starting from the ground up
by telling you more about me, as well as my love for home. I'm really looking
forward to sharing how my ideas come together and how they work in our lives
as well as our homes... whether it be my own home or someone else's... because for me
this work has never been about just organization and design... it's always been
about a lifestyle. Now, before you go today, I'd love to hear what home means
to you, too! Please, let me know in the comments section below so we can continue
this discussion about what home means to each of us. And, two final things... one

week I'm going to be sharing a little bit more and giving you a home tour.. and,
finally don't forget to give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video and you're
looking forward to more videos coming your way soon. Thanks again so much for
