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}
