No design degree. No formal training. Just a crumbling Oak Park Victorian, two napping kids, and a paint can.\nNatalie talks about growing up watching her dad—a true artist turned contractor—transform a worn-down Victorian by seeing its bones instead of its problems. She explains the philosophy that became her signature: start with a piece of art, pull the colors, and let the room follow. She even asks clients to go into their closets and find the dress that makes them feel like a million bucks. Nine out of ten times, it's a color.\nShe shares what it was like to move to Charlotte two weeks before COVID, build a new client base through Instagram all over again, and why she keeps saying yes to things she's never done before—Airstreams on marinas, a flat in Lisbon, whatever comes next.\nFollow The Market Makers wherever you get your podcasts for more stories of transformation from the people shaping how we live, work, and gather.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/oGXCeUoGBgZSSu7hTIaN87LoVZ7N2avIGAJhQMVS8F0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iODM0/ZGE0NmUxZmJjMDBl/MTFjZTZmMTI5ZTYx/YWJhMC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
