  • The Art of Collecting- Building a Meaningful Collection

    The Art of Collecting- Building a Meaningful Collection
    Aug 19 2025
    On this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan is joined by host Liz Lidgett of Liz Lidgett Gallery for a conversation all about collecting art. Together, they break down the myths and intimidation often surrounding art collecting and make the case that anyone can start building a meaningful collection.

    From where to begin and how to trust your instincts, to investing wisely and finding pieces that tell your story, Meghan and Liz share practical advice and personal experiences that make the art world approachable and exciting. They also discuss the role of galleries, how to balance budget with passion, and why art is not just about décor but about connection, joy, and legacy.

    Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just curious about buying your first piece, this episode offers inspiration and guidance on how to make art a part of your life in a lasting, personal way.

    Street Style Takeaways:
    · Start with what you love — Art collecting doesn’t need to be intimidating or expensive. The most meaningful collections begin with pieces that spark joy and connection.

    · Trust your instincts — Liz emphasized that your personal taste matters more than trends or what others think.

    · Every budget has room for art — Collecting isn’t reserved for the wealthy. Prints, small works, and emerging artists are all great entry points.

    · Work with trusted galleries — A good gallery helps guide you, introduces you to artists, and ensures your purchases are authentic and lasting.

    · Art tells your story — Beyond investment, a collection becomes part of your personal narrative and the legacy you share in your home.

  • Getting Personal: Our Design Don’ts

    Getting Personal: Our Design Don’ts
    Aug 14 2025
    In this candid and lighthearted episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan Blum and Krissa Rossbund swap their biggest interior design pet peeves — the mistakes that make them cringe — and share the solutions that turn those missteps into stylish, timeless spaces. From the dangers of going “matchy-matchy” to the importance of scale, proportion, and functionality, they explain why certain design choices fall flat and how to elevate them with thoughtful details. Listeners will walk away with an eye for spotting what’s “off” in a room and the confidence to create spaces that feel collected, personal, and beautifully balanced.

    5 Key Takeaways:
    1. Avoid the “matchy-matchy” trap — Coordinated pieces are fine, but identical sets can feel flat; mixing textures, finishes, and shapes creates sophistication and visual interest.
    2. Scale matters — Whether it’s furniture, art, or décor, correct proportions are key to making a space feel harmonious.
    3. Centerpiece height counts — Dining table arrangements should never block sightlines; keep them low to encourage conversation.
    4. Design is in the details — Layering patterns, mixing metals, and varying shapes add depth and personality to a room.
    5. Mistakes are costly — Taking time to plan and invest in the right pieces up front will save both money and frustration later.
