Curate the Space with Laterras R. Whitfield

Okay, listen! I'm opening a podcast studio called The Pod Society. Because I love interior design and HGTV shows, I decided to have a little fun and create friendly competition between my interior design friends for a show affectionately named, "Curate the Space." Welcome our curators: MeMe Bennett, Kenneth C. Williams, Jr., Anita Parker, and Bernetta Sowels.
YOU WILL CHOOSE THE WINNER WITH A LIVE VOTE on Monday, June 14 at 7pm CST.
The winner will receive a jumpstart to podcasting with four fully produced podcast episodes for their brand.
Curate the Space: Transforming ORDINARY spaces into EXTRAORDINARY creations, one unique CHALLENGE at a time.

Laterras just loves to serve in any capacity. I admire how he desires to include anyone that he can to enjoy fun experiences. He is truly resting in and sharing the blessings of the Lord in his life, he is such a giver!! Wishing him nothing but continued blessings and favor. 😇❤️

[@cherhonda]

This was a pleasure to watch🎨 You can feel the Blessings and Love In Each Space🙏🏾💜

[@xonocx]

Excellent designs. My only feedback would be to show the room more during your convos with the designer, so viewers can see the room’s details as it is being discussed.

[@LRamey]

Yes and pan out so we can see the whole space This is such a cool concept

[@bridgetp3989]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@thisone2luv]

Totally agree sis!

[@BillieAnissa]

Yes. Agreed. Couldn't see tye basket lights and all the spaces seemed very very pretty, buy couldn't see the rooms well.

[@meeshascuisine8278]

KC has my vote. All spaces are beautiful but he UNDERSTOOD the assignment.☝🏾👍🏾

[@MuiltMillonaire]

Laterras, this is amazing! BLESSINGS

[@susanakaan810]

4 my best, spacious, perfect lighting not dark, good for business or living room space

[@wendolynphillips]

I love space #4. KC did an amazing job. The room looks peaceful.

[@andreathomas5857]

2 & 4 for me

[@MuiltMillonaire]

They are all incredible, however my choices are #2 & 4

[@Ladi1198]

All 4 spaces are absolutely beautiful!!! Awesome Job!!!

[@rishna21]

Number four, Mr. Williams, thank you

[@MarvaBlaze]

All of them are beautiful. I’m gonna go with Meme Bennett. I really love the ropes is very unique and very different.

[@ashleysmith8445]

I don’t like dark colors if it’s not enough lighting 2 and 4 ARE PERFECT FOR PODCASTING SETS THEY ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL ❤ GREAT WORK

[@thisone2luv]

Each designer curated their spaces so well. They, very clearly, communicated their visions to the audience. There was no fail! There was only make. What they made left me in awe! My top 3 priorities when voting on the spaces (although I know voting is over 😂) were: 1. Gender neutrality 2. Functionality 3. Creativity My voting hierarchy is: 1. Mid-century Modern Lounge 2. Organic Modern/A Piece of New York 3. African BoHo I was absolutely split between Organic Modern & A Piece of NY because the desk in A Piece of NY almost feels like a necessity in a space for a solo podcaster. Organic Modern is setup more for a duo, but I think the assignment was to make the space for a single podcaster in the first 2 spaces. The creativity and heart in Organic Modern was unmatched, though. Love this show! Can’t wait for the next episode. 🤎

Thank you, I appreciate your support. IG @KCWii

[@aurareid5652]

I'm amazed at how you continue to reinvent your craft. You're an amazing asset to the kingdom and I'm very proud of you ❤ I think #4 is my favorite. As soon as I saw it, the first word that came to mind was balance. When he said masculine and feminine, I understood it. #2 is also my vibe. It has a nice pop of color with some neutral elements. Plus, I'm from NY, so I may be just a wee bit biased 🤏🏾🤭🗽❤

[@fabiolalubin9164]

Wow KC killed it 😮😮they all did great job.👏🏾

[@Babysistah927]

I love all 4 spaces, very unique. Number 3 is my fav, African boho. The space is fire. Next is Mr. K’s space. Very clean. Not fond of the chairs-kind of like a doctor’s office,but love the wallwork. Number 1 and 2 are nice as well. I can see myself in the office space (1) and relaxing in the #2 space. Excellent idea LT!

[@kcwilliams1689]

Thank you, I appreciate your input. Being a podcast space, I wanted to insure that the chairs were sturdy and would last. In addition, material selection is very important as the spaces will host many guests with different clothing, materials etc. I didn’t want to chance clothing dying fabrics etc. I was very intentional with every piece brought into this space.

[@gaylesmiley0529]

Number 4 for me. Loving the elegance of everything 😍

[@ErickaH.]

They all did an amazing job. I love African Boho!!!!😍

[@sylviacookielove]

All are excellent, yet I Lovvvve #2 with the Ropes.

[@tropicallymixed.]

OK Laterras! I'm proud of you and will support this. I love when people are not afraid to try new things!

[@Iamdmgartrell]

They all turned out great!

[@NaomiRGlee]

This is an awesome concept Laterras. You are allowing exposure to gifting. Beautiful work and creativity. They ALL are really Good. Love ❤️ it.

[@shannonhinson_]

Loved the African Boho 🔥🔥🔥 the best! Excellent Designs & Designers, looking forward to more shows to come.

[@ninawaryaro9415]

My first choice is 2 looks so comfortable and 2nd choice is 4.The room looks so bright simply love it. Well Man of God it's hard to choose coz they are all great designs. This was great

[@shavonhampton3535]

4 is my favorite. It’s neutral yet very peaceful. It’s very versatile. I can see a cigar and bourbon 🥃 lounge. I can also see a business (saloon, spa, aesthetician) lounge, entrepreneur photo shoot. A business meeting room. Or a consultation room. All spaces are beautiful in their own right. 1- could be for any form of teaching. I can see a very trendy millennial in that space. 2- definitely for a high end minimalist. I could definitely picture a water feature in that space. 3- I LOVE the color green! This is for sure a wholistic girly space. I can see a vegan sister with locs that know a little bit about everything.

[@avatomlinson9124]

[@TM-pt4tu]

They were all very unique but space number 3 was so comfortable, light and airy. The organic design was excellent.

[@SheSharpNotFlat]

2 & 4 are my vibes!

[@cassandrasmith1635]

2 & 4 It’s the lighting for me.

[@reikomyles1495]

All the designs were creative and unique. My favorite was space #1. I love the gold desk. The animal-print rug and the curtains. The whole space was bold, modern, and eye-catching.

[@SpecialJLrobin]

I love all of the spaces. In my opinion it depends on what you want to use the space for. They all did a Beautiful job. However, I am glad they had a budget because not everyone can afford to decorate with a 2k painting. I have seen people on Pinterest decorate with a budget and turn a room into something beautiful

[@shantellewilliams1456]

They all did an amazing job I think my favorite one was number two

[@carolinetlakula3875]

[@Bmoore252]

Meme #2... looking forward to the Elders podcast! Wisdom at its finest! ❤

[@MNIU_]

#2… saying this bc it can universally appeal. Regardless of race/sex/gender 4 is my runner up it had a lot going on but with a small angle of a podcast u think it would provide great /varying viewing angles among guests I truly couldn’t see enough of number 1 My only question with booking is , isn’t it going to be hard to talk/produce without the fourth wall? Or is that going to be closed off?

[@LeahConey]
