House Tour: Lauren Elaine Interiors

Good morning, chic friends. Our hearts are heavy this morning, as we know yours are, thinking of our friends in the Bahamas and the rest of Dorian’s path.

As we head inland today, there is no time that we are so poignantly reminded of the importance of home, of its impact on our lives, our families and our well being. It goes without saying that our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.

When it comes to expressing ourselves and creating a space that feels uniquely like us–and our families–there truly is no place like home.

That’s something that designer Lauren Lowe and her husband Brandon, owners of this Classic Redux, know all about.

When they moved into their freshly built home after putting their touches on, they knew right away that something didn’t feel quite right.

This 1930s Collier Hills home, however, was full of the charm and character that their new home was missing.

Add an antique art and furniture collection that the couple negotiated with the sale of the house,

Special, modern touches,

And a heaping helping of talent from Lowe and you have the recipe for a perfect home for a family of three.

But this designer’s favorite part of the renovation?

Creating a sweetly chic space for her baby son–

And a place where she and her husband–and the family’s dog!–could share their little boy’s first special moments. We don’t know about you, but we think this charming home is perfect from top to bottom! What’s your favorite space?

In Good Taste: Kendall Wilkinson Design

So many elements combine to create the perfect home.

The right blend of calming influences and vibrant energy,

The artful combination of old and new,

The finishing touches of both glamour and whimsy.

It is a tricky formula, one that takes a seasoned eye and an experienced hand.

And, judging from these pictures, it is a formula that Kendall Wilkinson has mastered.

From unique touches, like these bar stools, that define a chic kitchen,

To utilizing a grand view as the ultimate focal point,

Every space from the largest to the smallest, the most used to the least, is artfully conceived and executed.

Speaking of art… This bathtub speaks for itself.

And all the right finishes create a sanctuary in this stunning spa-like retreat.

From the peak of glamour,

To the simply elegant, Kendall Wilkinson Design creates spaces perfectly suited for the homes in which they reside–and the families who love them.

What’s your favorite Kendall Wilkinson room? Thanks so much for making Design Chic a part of your day!
