I confess... I slept with my client

Welcome to Confessions of an Interior Designer, the behind-the-scenes podcast that spills the juicy secrets of the luxury interior design world! I’m your host, Caroline Turner, and for our very first episode I’m joined by Paige Wassel: celebrity interior stylist, content creator, and founder of Was the Store. 

Together we dive into one of our most jaw-dropping listener confessions, “The Affair Behind the Drapes” - a scandalous story of passion, power, and an unforgettable client situation. This isn’t about a romantic date gone wrong - it’s what happens when professionalism blurs with something a little more...complicated. 

We also answer your burning questions on client trust and the role of an interior photo stylist. 

Plus Paige shares her journey from Vogue intern to powerhouse prop stylist, and now, highly successful content creator and business owner. You’ll hear about her rise to success, lessons learned from challenging bosses, and the chaotic yet rewarding reality of building a creative career.

So whether you’re an industry pro or just love juicy stories, this episode will make you laugh, gasp, and think twice about what happens behind closed doors…
