About this episode

Annie Meyers-Shyer shares her design philosophy and practical advice for creating timeless homes.

Why do some homes feel timeless while others look dated within a few years? Annie Meyers-Shyer—the creator behind @thisoakhouse, former Chanel and Harper's Bazaar PR executive, and daughter of legendary filmmaker Nancy Meyers—joins Molly and Emese to share the design philosophy that's made millions fall in love with her approach to interiors. Annie explains how documenting her own family renovation unexpectedly led to a bestselling design book, then shares the practical advice every homeowner should know: how to build mood boards that actually work, why she always asks "Will I love this in 10 years?", how to find a contractor you can trust, why every room needs something old, and why she refuses to color match paint. Whether you're renovating an entire house, refreshing one room, or simply want your home to feel more like you, this episode is packed with timeless design advice you'll come back to again and again.
