From the Vegas trip to the Hoover Dam to the Valley of fire and then onto Zion Canyon, Utah and Nevada did not disappoint. The change of scenery was exactly what I needed, and I loved taking in the southwest vibe experiencing the different colors, the blue sky, the red rocks and just taking it all in. I always say traveling is good for your soul and expands your horizons. Plus spending time with my #1 is always a good thing too.

Big install today. We installed window treatments in this entire home. Not sure i even got every room documented. Really adds another layer of finish and warmth. Thanks to for her expertise and precision. This client lives color and pattern and I think we delivered. Next up is a major furniture delivery. Stay tuned!!!

This project has been in the works for the last 18months. We are in the home stretch!! Still have a lot to finish up but feels good to get cabinetry in, floors stained, light fixtures installed and paint on the walls. More to come!

So yesterday was a good day. We shot this absolutely stunning bathroom that was completed a few months ago and when I tell you I could live in this shower I am not kidding. between the color the controls, the space it’s absolutely divine. Hope you find some relaxation and joy this weekend.

Hello all, wanted to share what I have recently been up to at LBC Design. As many of you know and maybe you do not, 8 years ago I was a part of Happy Spaces, a project to beautify Isaiah House (a local shelter) with a makeover of several spaces at the shelter. It was an incredible experience and collaboration.
Isaiah House secured a grant to have their original location (a few blocks
from their current building) brought back to life and renovated this past
year. During the renovation they had not 1 but 2 pipes burst which flooded
the buildings. Months were lost and now the project is
back on track and nearly complete. My dear friend and colleague Alexa Ralff had been in touch with the director and heard that they didn’t have ANY furniture for the 12-bedroom facility and she quickly got on our local designer hotline and got to work.
So a team of 12 local designers and a few
amazing industry supporters are getting it done. We are doing this with no
budget and relying on our trade’s goodwill and donations of goods (some of
the furniture) and services. We are sourcing a ton of soft stuff and
occasional furniture from Amazon.
Please consider purchasing something from these wish lists. My needed items are marked 'LBC' and I don’t care how small the purchase is as we need a ton of stuff in a very short time. If you do not see any items left under LBC please consider purchasing under another designer or making a donation. Also please share the links to anyone I might have missed.
I am also including a link to donate directly to the HOMEFULL program I
created with Isaiah House (if you donate please write HAPPY SPACES
in the notes and your donation will be used to pay for the things we
need that aren’t on the list or the balance on some of the labor we
couldn’t get completely donated)
Everyone deserves a place of comfort and beauty!
Thank you all in advance- and reach out if you have any questions.
