This week's guest is Tommy's friend Sophie Donelson, a design journalist and sought-after speaker, moderator, and consultant. She previously served as editor-in-chief of House Beautiful and is a favorite (and repeat) speaker for the annual Future of Home Conference, and is an advisor to high-profile brands such as Ann Sacks, Vrbo, and Business of Home. She makes regular guest appearances as a design expert on Good Morning America, Today, and Open House.
As a speaker, author, and strategist, Sophie delivers insights to industry professionals and design lovers about how our homes can shape our lives for the better.
Her new book, Uncommon Kitchens (https://sophiedonelson.com/uncommon-kitchens/) (Abrams, Summer 2023) remains in the home/design bestseller list after debuting at #1. The book expresses not just Sophie's take on kitchens, but her ethos that decoration and design are best used as tools for living, not for show — that homes are for living in, not looking at. Sophie is inspiring a new generation of design lovers to embrace color and happiness at home.
Sophie has held top editor posts at Elle Decor, Martha Stewart’s Blueprint, and Hampton Cottages & Gardens magazines, and has contributed as an author and expert to the New York Times, New York magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and the Globe & Mail. Her national broadcast appearances include the TODAY Show, Good Morning America, and Open House.
