Host Veronica Theodoro is joined by artist Katherine Bernhardt, whose St. Louis home recently went viral for its eye-catching, whimsical design. (In case you missed it, check out the New York Times' house tour here before you dive into the episode.) The house, designed by St. Louis architect Gary Glenn in the mid-80s, was recently renovated by Katherine into a Memphis Milano museum of sorts. Katherine recounts the process, which began with thoroughly researching the history of the house for ideas and inspiration. The artist discusses how the house feeds her passions for color, entertaining, swimming and, even, yoga, which she practices in her living room's Memphis Milano boxing ring. Additionally, Katherine discusses plans for her next house project in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and shares her favorite places to shop for interiors and dine out in St. Louis. Listen and follow House of Lou on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or most places podcasts are available.

This episode is sponsored by Saint Louis Art Museum. On view through May 12 at the Saint Louis Art Museum, "Matisse and the Sea" is the first exhibition to examine the significance of the sea across Modernist artist Henri Matisse’s career. Get tickets at slam.org/exhibitions.
