If you’ve watched the hit Bravo show Million Dollar Decorators, you’ll know that Kathryn Ireland is a character.

And while I’ve seen her share irreverent jokes on the show with close pal (and co-star) Martyn Lawrence Bullard about bra shopping and chocolate addiction, when I met Kathryn, we stuck to the topic of decor. After all, if you had such an icon in front of you, would you waste time talking about anything else?
