Being Home With a Popular HGTV Interior Design Star (Leanne Ford)

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman is talking with interior designer Leanne Ford.

Leanne knows about the importance of home, of having a home base to call our own. She has a deep love for her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she launched her successful career as an interior designer after gaining attention for restoring a 1907 schoolhouse and making it her home. Trust me, you’ve probably seen these pictures somewhere along the way if you look at design magazines, Pinterest, or Instagram.

Since then, she gained even more fame as an HGTV star with her brother Steve Ford on the shows "Restored by the Fords" and "Home Again With the Fords." And, what’s also exciting to Leanne right now is her partnership with Crate & Barrel who carries her first-ever collection of furniture and accessories.

In this episode, Leanne talks about her latest collaboration with Crate & Barrel and how designing furniture is such a thrill for her. As she says it’s a natural alignment between her brand and Crate & Barrel.

We talk about how she creates her gorgeous mood boards for design inspo, and why she likes to give all that insight and resources away.

She shares tips on where she likes to splurge and save with interior design choices, as well as some clever small space/rental decorating tips and hacks.

You’ll see that Leanne is pure creative inspiration: she encourages us all to be messy, to keep trying things, to keep moving forward, and to play. Don’t be afraid to fail. As she says, “the secret to my success is lots of failure.”
