I'm so excited to share my girls' bedroom with you today! While I have the best intentions with my own home, it seems I rarely ever finish a space. When I say "finish", I mean right down to the accessories. There's always something to do, right? My girls' room needed to "grow up" a little. A nine year old and a four year old share it, so it … Read More »
LL Textiles
It's official! Now you can order any of Lauren Liess's new fabrics through Reve Decor! I've never been more excited about a fabric line. I'm really drawn to the earthiness of them. However, they do run at a high price point, and Lauren addresses her pricing in the perfect way here. Like Lauren and many other designers, I wouldn't … Read More »
Lauren Liess Textiles Launch
Lauren Liess of Pure Style Home has launched her textile line today, and I am so excited! Lauren did a post way back about taking risks in decorating for my blog, and I have found her to be one of the most kind and talented designers I've been lucky enough to have "met" since I've started my website and business. {image via Pure Style … Read More »
Viking Development
My husband owns a company called Viking Development. He builds custom homes, and I must say, he does an incredible job! He really cares about what the homeowner wants, and he packs each of his homes with quality craftsmanship. Originally a trim carpenter (that's how he supported us through college), he makes sure he actually frames, sides, and … Read More »

The Purpose of Interior Design
Since starting this business two years ago, I have often thought back on my journey up to this point and wondered where it will take me in the future. There's one thing that is a constant...I love to design! I love space and color and painting. I've felt like it is my destiny, and now I have a responsibility to something great with … Read More »
Lauren Liess
I'm so excited today to have a blog contribution from Lauren Liess, owner and writer of "Pure Style Home". This year, if you haven't been with us before, I am doing a series of "design rules." Top designers from all over the country use them to make their homes (or the homes of their clients) not only look good, but function while looking good. … Read More »
Looking for a Down Pillow? Not so fast…
If there is one thing that I have discovered in the design and furniture world, you always get what you pay for. Forget the Odell's sale they have (every) Friday and Saturday "only"...I firmly believe in finding a piece of furniture suitable to you and your family and saving up for it. If you find you need a couch where the springs won't sag, … Read More »
How to Make Your Home Comfortable
There are a lot of "top 10" lists out there...I thought it would be fun to tell you my "top 5" list of ways to make your home more comfortable. One of the memories I have of growing up is riding the bus from school (for over an hour), and then getting home. Mom would always be there, and you just felt relief wash over you as you threw your bag … Read More »
Shipping to Wyoming
One of the things that has been an adventure since I've started designing is getting furniture to Wyoming. On the U.S. Census report (I believe again), Wyoming is the state with the lowest population in all of the United States. And that has had a direct affect on getting furniture here. I should have been on alert for that last year when I … Read More »
