Description

In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Lorna Kleidman, a remarkable client and world champion in kettlebell sport. Lorna shared her inspiring journey of starting a new career in her 40s and how she has excelled in it, all while navigating multiple home transformations with my design firm, Affordable Interior Design. We discussed her experiences moving from a city apartment to a beautiful home in the Hudson Valley, emphasizing the importance of reusing cherished pieces to create a familiar and personal space. Lorna's insights on quick decision-making and the challenges of sourcing artwork added depth to our conversation, making it a truly engaging episode that I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
