Behind every beautiful room is a long chain of decisions: the layout, the materials, the people who build it, and the details that tie it together. The Groutcast is a new podcast about the people who make those decisions.
Hosted by Whit Morris, President of Morris Tile Distributors, the show is a conversation with industry experts about design trends, sources of inspiration, and insider knowledge. It’s presented by Morris Tile, where there’s always more than you expect, and recorded at Gather Arts District in Richmond, Virginia.
Meet the first guests
Season 1 launched with three episodes:
Kathy Corbet of Kathy Corbet Interiors.
Kathy started in New York City’s fashion district, moved into interior design, and opened her firm in 2001. She has been based in Richmond since 2005 and now works with clients across the country. She calls herself a chameleon of a designer and lets each homeowner’s lifestyle and passions lead. She also draws on unexpected pairings of color, texture, and pattern, and on materials found along the way.
Jessica Williamson of JTW Design.
Jessica is the CEO and luxury interior designer behind her Richmond-based firm. She spent a decade at the international firm Gensler and another decade running her own studio. Her work has appeared in R•Home, Home&Design, HGTV Magazine, Forbes, Southern Living, and Rue Daily.
Leo Lantz of Leo Lantz Construction.
Leo was born into the contracting business and has more than 30 years of remodeling experience, especially with older Richmond-area homes. He holds a Class A contractor certification and has been named both NAHB National Remodeler of the Year and HBAV Virginia State Remodeler of the Year. In his episode, he talks about the craft and ethics behind building well.
The designer, the builder, and the person selecting finishes each see a project differently. Hearing them in one place shows how much of a finished space depends on collaboration.
