Welcome to House of Lou

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.

Holiday Entertaining with The Social Affair Catering + Events

In the inaugural episode of House of Lou, St. Louis Magazine Design editor-and-chief Veronica Theodoro talks to interior designer Annie Brahler of Euro Trash. Annie is known for her longstanding commitment to historic preservation, as well as for designing spaces—from the kitchen to the living room—that are layered with vintage and antique wares. No detail is too small for the designer, and it shows in her award-winning work across the country. 

Annie's Webster Groves home was recently featured in the September 2023 issue of St. Louis Magazine, and we got an inside look at her studio space, also in Webster Groves, a few years ago.

Listen in as Annie and Veronica share design ideas for the home, including tips for buying vintage and antiques in St. Louis (or, in some cases, "borrowing" them from loved ones). Veronica also recommends a new exhibition at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation that will both enlighten and inspire you. There’s so much to see in St. Louis, if you know where to look.

No detail is too small for the designer, and it shows in her award-winning work across the country. 
Annie's <a href="https://www.stlmag.com/api/pv/s6o2v94MVu7sxttDT4oirzRE9t8nQDfxb72gJif2ZsNgmU4p9w4zm6H1fcNO6797/++/design/annie-brahler-eurotrash-webster-groves-cottage-renovation/">Webster Groves home</a> was recently featured in the September 2023 issue of St. Louis Magazine, and we got an inside look at her <a href="https://www.stlmag.com/api/pv/s6o2v94MVu7sxttDT4oirzRE9t8nQDfxb72gJif2ZsNgmU4p9w4zm6H1fcNO6797/++/design/interior-design/annie-brahler-euro-trash-webster-groves/">studio space</a>, also in Webster Groves, a few years ago.
Listen in as Annie and Veronica share design ideas for the home, including tips for buying vintage and antiques in St. Louis (or, in some cases, "borrowing" them from loved ones). Veronica also recommends a new exhibition at the <a href="http://pulitzerarts.org/art/urban-archaeology-lost-buildings-of-st-louis/">Pulitzer Arts Foundation</a> that will both enlighten and inspire you. There’s so much to see in St. Louis, if you know where to look.
