Lauren, what drew you into the field of interior design?
When I was five or six years old, I made my own wallpaper sample book. My parents were selecting a wallpaper, and I was so fascinated with the colors and patterns I decided to create my own. My love of design began there and continued to grow stronger through my teen and adult years.
 
What would you say are key components to quality design?
Attention to detail, functionality, and of course, overall aesthetic.
 
Where do you get your inspiration?
Everywhere! Magazines, travels, items the client owns, a single fabric...anything can inspire design.

How do you believe design reflects a person's style and personality? 
I always like to include pieces and colors the client loves. Whether it be a collection from travels, sentimental family heirlooms, or a favorite color, incorporating the things clients’ treasure can be a great way to infuse their unique styles and personalities into their spaces.
 
What is your approach to color?
I have always been a huge lover of color! My approach is to use neutrals for the larger items, like a sofa, and layer several coordinating colors as accents: rugs, pillows, art, lamps, and accessories. My favorite palettes mix warm and cool tones.
 
What’s your favorite paint color?
Sherwin Williams Silver Strand SW 7057. It’s such a soft, calming hue.
 
What can’t you live without?
My music! Music has such a powerful impact on my state of mind and mood, especially during the commute to and from work. Music is inspirational, motivational, and just good for the soul.

Abby graduated from Auburn University with a bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management. Backed with four years of experience, Abby is efficient in organization and project management. Her personable and bubbly personality aid her in making genuine connections with clients to help them find the perfect piece for their home. Abby's eye for design continually produces beautiful and functional item selections for the showroom.

What drew you into the field of interior design?
I have always been intrigued by and had a love for design, but finding and following Kelly Wearstler over the past few years has really inspired me. I very much admire her ability to take individual items that I may not have chosen myself and combining them to create spaces that anyone, no matter their sense of style, can walk into and think "Wow, this is really amazing and beautiful."

What draws you to an item that you think will sell in the showroom?
For myself, I like to find things that feel really curated and not that many people have. I think that's something that other people look for as well. Something that's timeless and unique but also at a good price point.

What's your favorite paint color?
Stone Blue by Farrow and Ball

What can't you live without?
My husband, my family, and my golden retriever, Ralph. Also, potatoes... they are so versatile and delicious.
