Interior designer Nate Berkus has spent decades turning objects into stories — first as Oprah's design authority, then helming his own acclaimed firm and product collections. He joins the show to talk about the places and things that have shaped him: from the antique markets of his Midwestern childhood to an 18th-century farm in Portugal; with a stop in Laos he almost didn't take, and a return to Sri Lanka that changed everything.
