In this inspiring episode of The Painterly Life Podcast, host Shannon Grissom sits down with designer and creative visionary Paul Overton, founder of Object Lesson Interiors. From his art-filled childhood to his innovative approach to sustainable design, Paul shares how his TGIF method (Thrifted, Gifted, Invented, or Found) reshapes how we think about interiors and creativity.
Together, Shannon and Paul explore the dance between imagination and technical skill, the power of meaningful design, and the lessons learned from navigating client relationships. Paul opens up about creative limitations, the value of rest and reflection, and how nature continues to inspire his work.
Tune in for a rich, down-to-earth conversation filled with wisdom, humor, and practical insights for living—and creating—with intention.
