What does it mean to design a home not merely to display art, but to be transformed by it? This panel discussion brings together a distinguished group of creative voices to explore the deeply personal and endlessly nuanced practice of building a residence around an art collection. From museum-quality works that anchor an entire spatial concept to beloved pieces accumulated over a lifetime, great design finds a way to honor both the art and the life lived alongside it.

Caroline Turner hosts Confessions of an Interior Designer, a podcast that pulls back the curtain on the real, unfiltered world of interior design. For this special live episode, Caroline is joined by Chicago-based design duo James Dolenc and Tom Riker of James Thomas for a candid conversation about the hilarious, outrageous, and sometimes shocking stories that designers experience but rarely talk about. With anonymous confessions from listeners, Confessions of an Interior Designer dives into the wild, funny, and shocking stories that designers experience but rarely talk about. Forget trends and technical talk—this is where designers reveal the experiences behind the scenes. Because after all, every space has its sins.

Her work is timeless and uniquely curated, blending classic design with new and youthful style to create spaces that feel detailed, approachable, and distinctly personal.
