Hi, I'm Lauran Weinmann. My interest in design started early—I have fond memories of ordering a royal blue shag rug for my teenage bedroom and then finding the perfect chenille bedspread to match. 
 
My background includes five years working for an interior decorating firm, where I staged homes for sale, sourced paint colors and decor items for clients, and wrote our blog. I loved every minute of it, and I was good at it. Then I founded a non-profit art studio that provided after-school art classes for under-served kids in Oakland. Throughout these creative endeavors I learned about color, space planning, styling, buying and hanging artwork, and more.

I'm happy to be focusing again on decorating. I hope you find ideas here to inspire your own decorating journey, and I'd love to help you along your way! Please reach out with any questions or if you need help sprucing up your place. Thanks for being here. Happy decorating!
