For this very special 10th episode, Morley and Ryan are joined by Cathy Kert - a talented interior designer who also happens to be Morley's mom! With over 20 years of experience, Cathy has built her business from the ground up, and is now one of the most highly sought-after designers on Cape Cod. We dive into her decision to change careers, how she works with clients to design their most intimate spaces, her process of building a successful business, things she wish she knew when she started, her design philosophies, and simple steps anyone can take to make their space more comfortable and beautiful.

What we're putting in the spotlight this week: 

Cathy: Tonight, go out and look at the sunset. Take note of the colors and the beauty, and try to remember it. Then, tomorrow or next week, find a physical object that brings those colors together, and bring that item into your living space to remind you of that sunset.
