Ep 34 - Your 2025 Glow-Up Pt 5: Uplevel Your Living Space For More Peace - Plus The Importance of Carving Your Own Path

     This week in Episode 34 of That Greenwich Life, we’re wrapping up our 2025 Glow-Up Series with an inspiring conversation about creating spaces that nurture, comfort, and reflect who you are – no matter the size or location of the place you call home.
     My guest, Andrea “Andi” Sinkin Jaffe, founder of Andrea Sinkin Design, (Also @Andrea_sinkin_design on Instagram) is a Greenwich-based interior designer whose work has been featured by House Beautiful, Martha Stewart, and New England Home.
Andi shares her expertise on turning any home—whether it’s a sprawling estate or a cozy studio—into a haven that feels both stylish and deeply personal. And she shares a few ways you can make your space feel like a safe space on every budget. We talk about the power of layering in design, why lighting is key to setting the mood, and how even the smallest updates can make a space feel new and alive.
     We also reflect on the emotional connection we have to our homes and how making intentional design choices can create a true sense of sanctuary, especially during life’s most chaotic seasons.

In This Episode:
•        Andi’s journey to building a thriving design business—and why she took the nontraditional path.
•        Why layering is the secret to creating a cozy and inviting space.
•        How thoughtful lighting choices can transform a room (and why blue light is a no-go for most spaces!).
•        The importance of incorporating personal pieces, like a family heirloom or vintage rug, into your design.
•        Practical tips for reimagining your home without breaking the bank.
