Transforming spaces into warm, welcoming, and inspiring sanctuaries

Our style defined:
Your home should be full of beautiful things you love, that you have collected, and that you will keep over time.
Our style mixes simple, modern pieces paired with natural elements to provide a contrast that keeps your home livable. Our style is not minimal. We love to fill spaces and corners with things that provide joy every time you see them. Styling your space isn’t always about following the rules. Rather, the focus should be on creating flow and an inspirational environment that suits the way that you live.
retreat [noun] • a place one goes for peace
Now more than ever many of us have started to truly appreciate our homes and are realizing how even the smallest things can affect our mood.
The things that you surround yourself with, and the way that they’re displayed are the easiest ways to create a retreat out of your home. Incorporate the right colors, splashes of light, and get honest about objects that make you happy… and you’ll begin to assemble a space you never want to leave.
So whether you are working around pieces you already have, or you are starting from scratch, the goal is always the same.

how we can work together
If you find yourself unsure about what to do with a particular space, a consultation can be a valuable resource to help you make the most of it and breathe new life into your surroundings. This convenient virtual service entails a thorough assessment of your space, followed by expert advice on how it can be optimized to better cater to your specific requirements. In addition to suggesting potential rearrangements of your current furniture and decor, the consultation may also recommend the introduction of new elements where appropriate. By engaging in a consultation, you will not only gain valuable insights, but also receive practical guidance and step-by-step instructions to transform your room into a truly finished and harmonious space.

Lauren was truly the missing element our place needed. She has impeccable taste and a gracious amount of patience. With a mastery eye of detail, she worked until every piece was in its perfect spot.
When I contacted Lauren about our Airbnb, I was in need of piecing together the furniture and decor I had curated. I was a bit lost before speaking with her but immediately after, she started making my vision become a real life Pinterest board. I knew going in I would be a bit indecisive and that she would have her work cut out for her, however, from the initial meeting, I knew I was in the right hands. She created an inspo board to start feeling out the direction I wanted to go in and left it open for me to add my ideas. She was the perfect mix of steering me into a direction of options while still leaving plenty of room for my imagination. After all the virtual brainstorming the day had come to put it together. She came in with our board of ideas printed out, pulled up her sleeves and started to roll out the rugs! She presented ideas and decor in ways I would have never thought of. Lauren could easily come in and work at any stage you bring her in. From the very beginning of the project, half-way through or to just put the final touches on, Lauren is the designing guru. Still waiting for her Masterclass to come out...

Lauren helped transform my Airbnb in Yucca Valley, California into a luxurious getaway. My husband and I bought the house with the intention of turning it into an Airbnb filling it with things we love and a place we would love to stay at.
We had a few pieces in our home and Lauren chose chairs, rugs, bedding, artwork, decor pieces, you name it, that worked with what we already had. Her eye is impeccable and her ability to find affordable items that look expensive was a lifesaver for our budget. Lauren styled, shot, and edited the images for our Airbnb site. Since posting the images our bookings have increased 10x than what they were before she worked her magic.
If you have a space that needs something, but you aren't sure what, hire her. If you have a space that needs a complete makeover or are starting scratch, hire her. Her talent is priceless but luckily she shared it with us and we couldn't be happier.

I had just moved and had been talking to Lauren about my new space… I had a whole new layout but I was a bit overwhelmed with trying to figure what I wanted to do, within my budget, and with little time to research. I know what I like, I just didn’t even know how to find the time to source and shop for it all! She recommended that we start by going over my ideas, style, what I was looking for certain areas, and a budget total.
One of the highlights of working with Lauren was that she gave me multiple options and listed the price with the remaining budget. This was SO helpful- it helped me to prioritize.
I would most definitely recommend Lauren. I have friends in varying states of redesign- some who prefer a little direction and some who are ready to hand over all control! She is capable of pivoting to any and all client and design situations!
The biggest value that I found in working with Lauren was her ability to fulfill my vision. She was able take existing items within my household and combine a couple of new Lauren-recommended items to help create the ultimate sunset relaxation patio. This is my favorite area in the entire house. Thank you Lauren!!!
