Grandma's Silver

In today's episode, I sit down with interior designer Dana Wolter, who is known for her chic Southern style, discerning eye, and creating spaces that blend timeless elegance with comfort. From her early experiences growing up in a large family to designing turnkey residences across the nation, Dana has cultivated a philosophy that homes should be sanctuaries for family life.

In this episode, I sit down with Pamela Munson, the designer behind her namesake straw accessories brand, known for its timeless style, thoughtful craftsmanship, and storytelling approach to design. Inspired by summers spent near (and on!) the water, family traditions, and the understated elegance of her grandmother, Pamela creates handbags and accessories that feel both classic and quietly modern, pieces meant to be used, loved, and kept.

With more than 15 years of experience in the fashion industry at CHANEL, Oscar de la Renta, and Bergdorf Goodman, Pamela brings an understanding of design and business to her work. Her straw collections are carried by luxury retailers and featured in publications like Vogue, Town & Country, and Oprah Magazine. 

In our conversation, Pamela shares how personal history shapes her creative process, what goes into designing with a natural, seasonless material, and her approach to building a brand rooted in longevity rather than trends. It's a thoughtful look at how memory, craft, and restraint come together to create enduring style.

Few things evoke the spirit of the season like a home sparkling with twinkling lights, heirloom ornaments, and meaningful traditions. I’m joined by Brian Branton, who is known for his elegant, Southern-inspired holiday decor.

Many followed along as Brian transformed his Alexandria, Virginia home each Christmas, blending Southern charm with classic holiday magic. This year, he’s bringing that same festive flair to a newly restored property in South Carolina, sharing how he layers heirloom touches to create spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and timeless.

I'm joined by Keith Winkler of Replacements, Ltd., the world's largest supplier of vintage and current dinnerware, silver, crystal, and collectibles. With decades of history, Replacements has become a beloved source for those of us who treasure heirlooms, search for missing pieces, or simply delight in setting a beautiful table.

Keith and I talk about the magic of finding that long-long china pattern, why these pieces hold such emotional weight, and how Replacements helps connect people not just with objects, but with their family histories and traditions. We also touch on entertaining, collecting, and the timeless joy of gathering around the table, particularly during the holiday season.
