Candace Griffin stands in her living room, thumbing through her vinyl collection. She flips past Beyoncé, Dave Matthews and Fleetwood Mac on her way to Chaka Khan.

The proof points are all around-ashy blue paint, vintage photography, contemporary throw pillows, colorful wooden toddler toys. Candace's style is as broad and pitch-perfect as her playlist.
