Lauren Liess Instagram – To dirty dishes & fresh strawberries!🍓 {garden planning is starting riiiiiiight about now and I can’t stop won’t stop} One of my favorite indoor-outdoor features in our house is the pass-through kitchen window and bar. We’ve started feeding the birds on it this winter and we have so many new sweet little friends popping in while we’re at the sink each day!! I’m feeling like I need to give them directions to our new place where we’ll be headed soon!!} Our countertops and sink are soapstone our cabinets are the “raw” oak from our “Arcadia” collection with @uniquekitchensandbaths that’s our little signature step stool for the kids under the sink 😉

Lauren Liess Instagram – Let’s talk room size! A favorite spot in the house, our dining room was anchored on one side by a fireplace and French doors out to a screened porch on the other. In our next house, for our orangery- which we’ll use as our dining room, garden workspace, sometimes cooking space with fireplace – cauldron sink, and project room- I started with these same dimensions, (15’) because we loved it so much, adding two feet to width for a bit more walking/ work space. I like to keep rooms as small as possible but we also needed more space because it will be right off of our garden as used for organizing/ washing veggies and will also store a lot of garden stuff in it. I lengthened the room by 4-5’ to allow for a pair of chairs to fit by the fireplace and a bit more breathing room at the entry where we have a bookshelf wall. The ceiling in our new orangery is a while different story and I based it off of the exterior (what would look right proportionately out there) and I am scurred about it right now!! (It’s 16’ high at the tippy top of the vault ) 😳 This dining room of ours had a 9’ flat ceiling and I just loved it. | photo by @helennorman for my favorite book of mine- FEELS LIKE HOME {ps- chairs in stories LL shop announcement! }

$Lauren Liess Instagram – warning: long life ramble ahead! It hit me yesterday that we’ll be going through some big changes this year… We’ve lived in 8 houses over the years and the kids are no strangers to moving. Some of them have been more resistant to moving than others. I couldn’t believe it when my 3rd son- the one most resistant to change- said the other day that he was excited to be moving into a house that wasn’t done because he loved seeing all the daily changes. (!!) major progress! 🙌 This next move is back into our house at the Meadow and it’s one I can say EVERYONE is thrilled about. But this means changes at work for us too- we’re turning our old barn on the property into the design studio (🫶) which means saying goodbye to the one in the white building in the middle of the Village we’ve enjoyed so much and also reopening our original studio in our building in the Village. (To clarify, we’ll have the barn studio at home the other smaller studio in the Village) 🤍 This year has felt so far away and now that it’s here I’m realizing that we have SO. MUCH. to do in so little time!! We’ve got so many renovations to finish and we need to spruce up our current house to sell!! Eeeek!!! I’m praying to stay chill and enjoy myself during what seems like it might be a chaotic time for the family. For now, please enjoy this photo of our calm quiet living room gussied up by @limonatacreative photographed by @angelanewtonroyphotography for our last @rugs_usa collection shoot. {the rug is the alder from my rugs USA collection | I also designed the “lady” sofa “joinery” tables for my furniture collections with Woodbridge & Taylor King}$
