Things have been pretty busy this past week so I thought I'd share some quick bits about what I've been up to. Yesterday, I was on abc with DC Design House Advisor Jean Seline to represent the DC Design House on Let's Talk Live:
We had a quick live interview with anchor Melanie Hastings, who made us feel right at home.
I had a little bit of the jitters but the interview was over before I knew it. You can watch the interview right here: DC DESIGN HOUSE LET'S TALK LIVE
(When I get nervous, I have the urge to laugh as you'll see right in the beginning... hahahah why??!!!)
I headed down to High Point, North Carolina, this past weekend and loved what I saw at Market and then returned home for two days of photo shoots with my good friend & photographer Helen Norman and her assistant FJ Hughes. We shot 4 projects. Here's a little peek at a recently finished client's kitchen:

Off to get ready for a meeting about a possible (really special) new project... fingers crossed for me!

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

Lauren, you are a super star!! Can't wait to see your room at the Design House, I know it will be fabulous! You constantly inspire me :) xoxo
How fun. I bet I would have turned beet red. That's my nervous giveaway.
Lauren you did better then I did, last time I spoke in front of people I threw up...lol. That one single picture from your clients kitchen says a lot and can't wait to see the rest. Good luck with your meeting!
Go Girl! Your whole room looked great!...as did you, Gorgeous!
And that shot from Helen is mighty fine!!!
Show us more!
Great job, Lauren! I loved your room the best (although that great room with the high vaulted ceilings was pretty spectacular, too). Your room is cozy, relaxed, but all of the details make it so interesting. Awesome work!
You were great Lauren! Love those Mad Hatter chairs too..

You were fabulous! I think you interviewed very well. You seemed very poised and comfortable.
lauren, you were very poised. I like that we got a little glimpse of the room - and I think that green shade on the lamp really knocks it outta the park. donna
Lauren- I watched the interview (you were great!) and the whole house looks just amazing. I can't believe those sky-high beams that were HAND stripped in that great room. All of the designers they showed really transformed their spaces.
Now, YOUR space. My first look at the sunny windowseat and it is heaven, heaven, heaven. Three mattresses? In three gorgeous fabrics? That's the touch that will make your room one that will be referred to again and again, long after this showhouse is over. I cannot wait to see Helen's photos of the space!

Lauren - watched the interview, and you were great! I didn't expect to see photos of your room, but was so excited when I did. It is spectacular, and far outshines the rest of the spaces--seriously. I love the attention to detail, and your inspiration for the space. This room will be a favorite among many who visit the home, I'm sure. Beautifully done.
It's just one thing after another, isn't it! Congratulations and hope to see more than peeks when you have time to catch your breath. :)
Keep us posted! I am loving reading about your success! and want to see more, more, more of the showhouse!
XOXO

You sounded awesome :) You have a great voice - not too high and youngish sounding. And I thought you were very articulate and winsome. Excited for you!!!
Nice press. You're going to be sooo busy!
It was such a treat to see you speaking! You are a natural. Can't wait to hear what your new project might be.
I would say you are a natural at interviews...I didn't even notice the hahaha:) I can't wait to see the room, and everything else...coming up to DC in late April!

You don't need luck. You've got it!!! Congratulations on your tv debut --- HGTV, here you come!
