A Q&A with House of Prim Founder, Meredith Goforth
What better way to get to know our Founder & Principal Home Stylist, than with a Q&A? Meredith, a busy mama of 3 — Xavier (11), Jude (10) & Fitzy (8) — sat down to answer a few quick fire questions.
PERSONAL MOTTO
If you’re going to do it, DO IT WELL.
STYLE SIGNATURE
Statement Earrings - I love how this tiny detail really pulls a look together and brings some personality. My go to brands are Deepa Gurnani, Mignonne Gavigan, and Tuckernuck.
Color & Prints - I have my days of all black (NYC habits die hard), but I love dressing in color and I’m not afraid of prints.
MOST PRIZED POSESSION
Not a possession, I’m not really a possession person–but what I constantly find myself being incredibly grateful for and valuing are videos and images of my kids growing over the years. I love being able to replay those memories.
ANY HOBBIES?
DIY Projects & Dupes! I’m currently living in a sweet little rental in Westport, CT. We also leased our office, The House of Prim, at the same time this past winter. Both were great spaces, but REALLY needed a glow up to make it feel happy and like home. I didn’t want to invest much because it’s a rental (and, one should never blow your budget for transitional spaces), but I also knew I couldn’t live in a space that made me feel down and uninspired. Enter lots of research, ordering, trials, testing and elbow grease. Turns out, I really enjoy finding ways to make any space look and feel better! I’ve become quite the pro at Peel and Stick wallpaper & tile, and could spend hours researching chic home decor & pieces with personality at a savvy price point.
FAVORITE TIME OF DAY
I’m a morning person all the way.
COCKTAIL ORDER
Margarita. With salt.
BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED?
My dad, Lucky, always says “Finish Strong,” and that has really stuck with me. And goes along with my personal ethos of if you are going to do it, REALLY do it.
FAVORITE HOUSE OF PRIM PRODUCT?
Can’t pick just 1! The Color Acrylic Collection brings such a needed bit of personality to the Organization Accessory game, our Big Black Bag is a serious lifesaver, the Perfect Pouches are incredibly versatile (and the colors are so fun!).
Plus, our soon to launch Silicone Pouches are complete Game Changers for all things travel, cosmetics, and daily life. I really can’t live without mine!
