Annie Meyers-Shyer on This Oak House & Her Best Design Advice from Paint Colors to Dream Kitchens

I sat down with Annie Meyers-Shyer, the founder of the popular Instagram account @thisoakhouse. Annie is an expert on all things home design, with strong opinions on everything from paint colors to kitchen appliances. We talked all about her second act career as an “accidental influencer,” to her new book, This Oak House, to her childhood home and the influence her filmmaker parents, Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer, had on her aesthetic in adulthood.
