Lauren Liess Instagram - pitter patter 🤍 Imprinting is magical 🪿🪿 *edited for understanding- geese are possibly the strongest imprinters in the planet meaning they identify with thing (mama goose/ human etc) they see when they are babies and bond/ follow it around seeking safety and/or care. 🤍 Primrose   Snowdrop are 5 day old female embden geese & they grow SO quickly!!! Geese reach their general full-grown size in only 2 months!! They currently spend their time eating (!!) sleeping, following us around on our heels & being held by someone in the family. 🤍 For now, they live in our orangery- one of my favorite spots in the house- the workroom off of our kitchen garden and will eventually move outside to a pen when it gets warmer out & their adult feathers come in. (They’ll turn white!) We will NOT be free-ranging them as our property is just too wild. ( even though we free-ranged geese for years on another property, our old sweet geese were killed almost immediately when we moved to this property.) We will be building aviaries for them to get the free-range experience and all the food nutrients they need from foraging. #liessgeese #goslings #geese
Lauren Liess Instagram - It’s cherry blossom season ‘round here!! And the goslings are getting SO big!! 🌸  Snowdrop   Primrose are now 7 weeks old 🪿🪿 They live in a coop outside (still heated on cold nights until all of their adult feathers are in) and we supervise their free range time grazing. We’re building an aviary & moving tractor for them. They can only come in for short jaunts now (if you know you know 🫣) but they still want to follow us everywhere. They love pets and cuddling up with us for naps (and having grass plucked and hand fed to them 😂) #themeadowhouse #themeadow #fairytalemodern #ididmyhomework check out LL&Co for outfit details

Lauren Liess Instagram - our beloved seashell fireplace… it almost made us stay!!! 🌊  I get into the details of the project in my newly released book, Beach Life: Home, Heart & the Sea. ✌️
Lauren Liess Instagram - Today’s the day we launch my newest cabinet collections with @uniquekitchensandbaths !! 🌿 

After years of working with various cabinet companies when designing kitchens/ bathrooms to try to get the look and feel I wanted (timeless, authentic, REAL wood finishes and hand-painted cabinets that didn’t feel like they were done in a plastic-like factory coating- you know what I’m talking about!!) and struggling to achieve it, I began working with UKB to develop a bespoke line of cabinet collections that embody the authentic, natural, timeless cupboards I’d been dreaming up. 

With 25 colors in my natural palette (and custom available) and a number of wax   oil stains on white oak, pine, maple   more, UKB’s heirloom quality cupboards are handmade by local cabinetmakers. Since we started using the collection, client after client has been blown away by the quality and craftsmanship and it’s been so rewarding. ✨

 If you’re a designer, there is a trade program and UKB ships to all 50 states. Contact @uniquekitchensandbaths to open an account   get started with samples. If you’re a homeowner looking to redo your kitchen or bathroom, we offer e-design services through @laurenliessandco or you can work directly with UKB! And if you just like looking at eye candy and already have the kitchen of your dreams or are just starting the process, check out the KITCHEN portfolio section of my new website laurenliessinteriors.com for some inspo! I’m sharing peeks at the new catalog in stories today~ Enjoy!! Photo by @helennorman

Lauren Liess Instagram - Our library {books out of frame 😉} I will really miss this space when we leave… the kids play games in here and because our house is L-shaped, I can see them from the kitchen on the other side of the house and I just love it 🤍 when it’s warm out and we have the doors open, we use the patio to move from one side of the L to the other and I love how naturally things flow from inside to out here. {PSA- the juniper jute rug from my collection with @rugs_usa is back in stock and the whole collection is on sale right now!! Thanks for your patience with the sold out ones and they’ll be back in April !!) photo by @markweinbergnyc
Lauren Liess Instagram - Celebrating the traditional Swedish holiday of Saint Lucia- The Festival of the Lights. 🕯️ St.Lucia (283- 304 AD) gave all she had to deliver food and provisions to persecuted Christians hiding in the catacombs. When she was caught and refused to denounce her faith, she was martyred at only 21 years old. Known as “the saint of light” because, legend has it, when she delivered bread in the dark catacombs, she wore a wreath of candles to light her way in the darkness, because she stood fearlessly for her faith giving hope and light to others, and because her name literally means “light.” 🕯️ Hundred of years later, on Sweden’s darkest winter night, her feast day, December 13th, she became a symbol for light in the darkness, a tradition that carries on to this day. I have always loved the story of St.Lucy (which is heartbreaking yet beautiful) and so this year we celebrated and created some of our own more modern (easier-for-us-to-handle) traditions for the day. (Including a super easy saffron spelt biscuit) (My aunts also recently told me- after seeing this video- that St.Lucia is also the patron saint of the tiny Northern Italian mountain village our family is from, Giustino!) We celebrated a little early so we could share a how-to vlog about the day in hopes that others might join in for the actual holiday on December 13th. Sending light   love to you all!! 🫶
Lauren Liess Instagram - The bunk room at @thelostcottage 🫶 full house tour up now on our you t. U be chnl! The whole story of the house & the others we’ve designed at the beach is in my new book, BEACH LIFE. But BEACH LIFE is about more than just design… it’s about the way the beach that makes us exhale and just be. There are so many benefits to visiting the coast- physical, mental, emotional etc and BEACH LIFE explores all of those aspects & explains why we feel different at the beach and how we can go back into the world better for it. | photo by @helennorman

Lauren Liess Instagram - We’ve been working on our personal home for years and all the little the details we planned in the very beginning are finally coming to life.  I got the idea to put a cut-out from the hall to the living room when I saw light do something in a pretty way up there during our initial walk-through of the house over 4 years ago. Super simple to have done and I’m happy to have a little glowing a reminder of our faith in the house 🤍
Lauren Liess Instagram - 2023 was one of our hardest but also one of the most beautiful. We lost loved ones and saw close friends lose loved ones far too soon. I hit some goals, forgot about other ones, and both laughed and cried a lot… many moments being torn by both pain and gratitude in one breath. I pondered (far too often) how this was humanly possible always ending in the thought that I guess maybe it’s essentially and completely human. Resilience is a beautiful thing I’ve been noticing a lot and appreciating in others this year. Praying for peace in 2024 and sending love and strength to you and yours 🙏🤍 happy new year from us to you!! Xo
Lauren Liess Instagram - a little love for the garden girl in all of us 🌿 let’s make it a #gardengirlspring 🌿 tag ‘em
Lauren Liess Instagram - A wander through our #foxvalefarm project (We gave it a hashtag as requested lol!) This one has been such a dream project for our team at Lauren Liess Interiors and I’ll be sharing a full (multiple part!) house tour on our you t. U. B e channel soon!! But, as it’s in a long line of videos that need editing, I thought I’d share this peek for now. This was taken during our install and not all of the art had yet been hung but I even love it with empty walls. 

designed by us @laurenliessandco with lots of vintage   antiques and furniture from our collections including @woodbridgefurniture @taylorkingfurniture   cabinets from@our collection with @uniquekitchensandbaths | renovated by @carrmichaelconstruction 
including art by @laurenrosejackson   stone floors from @ancient_surfaces
Lauren Liess Instagram - I’ve got lots o’ kitchen opinions from designing more of them than I can count so here are 10 of my  go-to kitchen design tips 🙌 The full original live house tour of our old place is now up on y ou t u b e 📺 photos and explanations of every angle and decision are also shared in my newest (and my personal favorite) book FEELS LIKE HOME (available anywhere that sells 📚 !!

Lauren Liess Instagram - Things are starting to arrive at the Meadow!! 🛁 Our 19th century English copper tub arrived!! This baby was a STEAL and way cheaper than new copper tubs but isn’t in great shape and we still need to fix pitting etc so I’m hoping we can make it work. It was supposed to be green 😭😭😭 and I’m so sad it arrived cleaned up but we’ll figure out a way to get her exterior green again!! *** UPDATE*** my amazing (and way more observant than me!) LL&Co project manager designer just informed me that she watched this video and the WRONG copper tub was delivered!! 🙏🙏🙏 Which means my green baby should still be still green!!! (This one is also ours but for a spec project but after seeing how it feels in the barn and the views out the doors-  we’re now thinking it needs to get installed there instead.) tub in a design studio anyone?? 🙋‍♀️🛁
Lauren Liess Instagram - how to train your gosling 🫶  Geese are often misjudged and -though verrrry protective- are some of the sweetest animals on the planet. They are the strongest imprinters and will follow their “mama” around everywhere.  We have two female embdens, Snowdrop   Primrose (the white mother goose kind) 🪿🪿 If you want super friendly cuddly geese, you need to spend lots of time with them every day, take them out on adventures (they loooove grass and you can earn their trust by picking handfuls of it for them when grazing) and make sure to het them used to lots of physical touch, pets and company. They love their people in such a trusting, beautiful way. 🫶 ps- they aren’t really potty trainable so jaunts inside need to be fast and -even then- have your cleaner & paper towels ready! #themeadowhouse #fairytalemodern #geese #liessgeese

Lauren Liess Instagram - I designed this room around gardening   animals. The goal of the orangery was to create an all around space that’s a sometimes dining room/ sometimes office, where we grow plants, wash our vegetables from the garden, have fires, do crafts with the kids & hang with friends   animals. The birds have surprised me this winter and we just adore our friend, “Peach” who is sure to come looking for us when we forget to put out the bird seed. She will even fly upstairs to remind us 🤣 she is now verrrry curious about the goslings!! Connecting with wild animals brings such joy and peace and making a house that encourages it was one of my biggest (and most rewarding) challenges at the Meadow. 🕊️ #themeadow
Lauren Liess Instagram - Spring has sprung at the Meadow! 🌿 trees are budding, daffodils are blooming, we’re cooking from the land, and the goslings are almost geese!! We’ve waited so long for this spring to bloom and I’m overjoyed it’s here!! 🫶 happy spring to you sweet friends!! #themeadowhouse #fairytalemodern #themeadow  We’re back to HOMEWORK   COOKING Tuesdays (starting next week!) and THE MEADOW on thursdays.

Lauren Liess Instagram - The “Whalerman’s Watch” beach cottage is almost finished just in time for the holidays! 🐳 So thankful for this chill time with the family. Sending love to you and yours this Thanksgiving! 

The design details: 
Leftover beams from the Meadow give the place those old scrap wood Outer Banks vibes with a little bit o’ those old English Lost Colony Roots. The original houses around here were made from leftover scrap wood from barns, shipwrecks etc. Still working on things like installing countertops and lighting.

Stucco walls, planked board ceilings, painted old floorboards mixed with brick and some existing furnishings (the ikea table came with the house & we had most everything in our barn!) and a couple of new pieces (the Meadow sofa from my collection with @taylorkingfurniture   an antique Swedish 1872-painted chest) have made this place into a relaxed, cozy, and flop-able beach pad. Loving it in the off-season with candles, kids and pups.  The whole renovation is featured in our “Saving Lost Cottages of the Outer Banks” video series. 🤍🌊

Lauren Liess Instagram - The CORRECT 200-something-year-old tub has arrived at the Meadow!! 🛁And it is green!! (Phew!!) I’ve been going back and forth internally on its positioning… I have always planned for it to span left-to-right in front of the back window (1st video/ 2nd slide) but can’t forget how much I loved baths in our old tub which faced straight out out a (side) window so I’ve been wrestling with facing it towards the back window (3rd   4th slides). The glass door to the left side will lead to a walled-in garden with outdoor showers in it and the back window (not in yet) looks out to the back yard. I love the silhouette of the tub when it’s sideways and space-wise it fits the room perfectly but I can’t unsee the thought of those facing those views straight on. Here it is both ways and I’m 99.9% on team facing the views now. It somehow feels more authentic to me, having the tub face the way we will naturally want to look but I’m a little sad to see less of the tub straight on and I don’t love having my back to the room. Something I’ve written a bit about in the past is that there are some spaces where the “enjoyment” arrangement (the one you will be using and enjoying while in the space) isn’t as pretty upon entry or to look at… in these cases I think about pros and cons (enjoyment in the room usually wins unless it’s just way too awkward-feeling.) I’ll be posting a video update of our final decision once it’s made… what would you do?? Are you on Team sideways or Team Views?? 🫧 {Also, if you haven’t seen it, our first Meadow House episode is up on y o  u. T ube!

Are you on Team sideways or Team Views?? 🫧 {Also, if you haven’t seen it, our first Meadow House episode is up on y o  u. T ube!
Lauren Liess Instagram - The CORRECT 200-something-year-old tub has arrived at the Meadow!! 🛁And it is green!! (Phew!!) I’ve been going back and forth internally on its positioning… I have always planned for it to span left-to-right in front of the back window (1st video/ 2nd slide) but can’t forget how much I loved baths in our old tub which faced straight out out a (side) window so I’ve been wrestling with facing it towards the back window (3rd   4th slides). The glass door to the left side will lead to a walled-in garden with outdoor showers in it and the back window (not in yet) looks out to the back yard. I love the silhouette of the tub when it’s sideways and space-wise it fits the room perfectly but I can’t unsee the thought of those facing those views straight on. Here it is both ways and I’m 99.9% on team facing the views now. It somehow feels more authentic to me, having the tub face the way we will naturally want to look but I’m a little sad to see less of the tub straight on and I don’t love having my back to the room.

Lauren Liess Instagram - a down to earth home is… {an excerpt from my book, DOWN TO EARTH} 🤎

Though this house is only temporary, our people, pups, and things came with us and it embodies an easy, down to earth way of life we’ve come to love so much. Form   function, timeless pieces, natural materials, a strong indoor connection, and an emphasis on people over perfect are all part of creating of a down to earth home. I delve deep into lots more of it in my book & would love to know- what’s a down to earth home to you?

 {feel free to use this audio and make a video and share your own “down to earth” home. Tag so I can share 🤎}

Lauren Liess Instagram - controversial kitchen stance- forget the work triangle!! I love a separate fridge/ microwave/ drink station so my hot (cooking   chopping) lane stays free and clear 🫶 I attempt to do this in kitchens whenever I can in some way or another. One thing we’re doing differently in our next kitchen - in an attempt to reduce our microwave usage (by make it less convenient)- is we’re putting our microwave behind a door- but still it will be set apart from the main cooking areas. My newest book FEELS LIKE HOME details out this entire kitchen (whole house actually) along with some of my favorite client projects and is a good one for digging in and understanding the whys behind the designs. (The  full house tour is also now up on our y ou  tube channel!) 🤍
Lauren Liess Instagram - Welllllll… it’s been a LONG time coming but we finally have a video update of what’s been going on with our “forever” house project at the Meadow 🌿  the full episode is up on our Y O U tu be channel !!🌿 it’s been 2 years since we moved out and we’ve had some MAJOR delays and have been in our “temporary” house much longer than expected. We didn’t start our documenting much of the project so this first “episode” is the best I could do with cobbling together what footage we had but as the episodes go on it should get a bit better :) this first episode shares our story/ the project overview/ and first 2 years of the project. Things are finally cooking over there so I’ll be able to share more real time posts like I did with our current house / the “horse country modern” project!
Lauren Liess Instagram - Imprinting is a beautiful thing. 🐣🐣 loving these quiet moments with our goslings, watering the plants   the seedlings that will be going in the ground so soon!! 🌿 Did you know geese imprint?
Lauren Liess Instagram - In an unexpected turn of events ~ we’re saying goodbye to the Lost Cottage. Teary as I type, this place has been so good to us. We love it so dang much but we’re onto our next chapter, our next lost cottage. 🤍🌊 Shut the door to the cottage just now in its cleanest condition ever since all 7 of us have lived there to put it on the market… all I wanted to do was have a glass of wine and hang in the hammock to admire all of our work but it’s time to head home with crossed fingers someone falls for this place the way we did. (Ps- whoever gets this house will have the absolute BEST next door neighbors in the world!!! 😭🫶) My next book BEACH LIFE tells our story here -and other beach houses we’ve redone- and is coming out in a few short weeks!! Never did I think we’d be leaving this place just as the book launched but life does its thing and we flow with it. 🌊🤍

Lauren Liess Instagram - So grateful for what we get to do every day!! Thankful for our incredible employees   contractors   craftspeople   clients who let us dream away with them🫶  this was a fun one - an equestrian property- where we got to de-“modern farmhouse” the house and make it timeless. (Let me be super clear- I love a modern farmhouse, but this just wasn’t one and so the elements felt out of place and trendy. This is that same house I shared the fireplace photo of in a recent post so you can refer back to that one if you’d like more details) design by Lauren Liess Interiors | Renovation by @carrmichaelconstruction #foxvalefarm
Lauren Liess Instagram - My next book, BEACH LIFE: Home, Heart & the Sea (@abramsbooks ) is coming out just before Memorial Day!!! 

Why so many books for a designer people have asked?  I love to share, chronicle, and synthesize concepts & events, and writing books helps me do just that. I often do my best thinking and internal changing at the beach where life is different and it sets me free… That got me wondering about what exactly happens to us by the ocean so I took a deep dive into the culture of beach towns, the interiors (of course!) the food, and even the science behind why people are healthier by the ocean and what the air, water, sand etc does for us. From the emotional, physical, physiological, and spiritual, this book is all about how the beach benefits us and sends us out as better versions of ourselves if we listen and let it. I promise you, if you’ve liked my other books, this one will probably be your favorite. Filled with gorgeous new images of houses I’ve designed and life at the beach. I’m SO excited to be branching out a bit and hope you enjoy!! Pre-order now for May 22nd delivery. 🤍🌊
Lauren Liess Instagram - beach life 🤍 a snippet of ours & some of the houses in my next book!!! T minus 4 days and counting until my next book -BEACH LIFE- comes out!!! With interiors photography by @helennorman & nature / life  photography by some of the Outer Banks’ best local photographers this book is some serious  eye candy. {this is one of my favorite songs by a local singer/ songwriter I got lucky enough to meet through an open mic night at the Brogue - @josephelias1998 ) Beach Life available now to arrive next week on pub date!!! I mentioned this in stories, but if you plan to buy the book at some point, buying this week is so helpful to me and the ultimate success of the book because preorders affect future printings, sales channels etc. thank you so much for considering a preorder and to all of those of you who have!!! 🤗

For those of you who take the time to read the text too, this means so much and I wrote it for you... A little beach love story from me to you 🤍🌊

Lauren Liess Instagram - This is for the people who want to know about the knitty gritty line of thinking/ logic that goes into design! 🛁 I’m answering all the questions left in the comment section of my last post to come to a final bathtub decision (facing the views or sideways) and we’ve got it up on our you t u  be  ch ann el right now! Thanks so much to everyone who weighed in/ asked questions etc.! (Ps- I tried uploading the whole video here but IG is now capped at 90 seconds 😭)
Lauren Liess Instagram - Slowly bringing Christmas into the orangery… found her in here the other day painting on her own 🫶🌲 The orangery is our “room of requirement” ~ our work-from-home-dining-project-garden-cozy-up room. Possibly my favorite spot in the house 🌿 Hoping to decorate the tree in there this week!
Lauren Liess Instagram - When rest calls 🌨️ Every now and then I hit a season of life where certain words or themes jump out at me over and over again and they won’t be ignored. I start noticing them in what I’m reading, watching, hearing etc and I begin to think about them and what they mean for my life… how I can incorporate more of this thing into it and I question why the word seems to hold meaning for me in that time. {contentment, love   vibration have been some of those words for me in the past and they still jump out at me but they are old friends and nothing I’m surprised by when they pop up in funny ways.} Recently, “rest” has been coming for me… I’ve been appreciating it in various areas of life where I never really understood its role… in homemade pastas, broths and various recipes, in the land’s winter rest and my newfound patience with hard earth and bare trees, and in my own inner urge to pull back and rest, detoxing from noise and to be quite frank, the hate and anger I see here on a daily basis. Sending you love   rest. (And I’d love to know- what words are calling to you right now? 🤍)
Lauren Liess Instagram - We get asked a lot about our kitchen gardens / the structure etc so I wanted to share a video of our old garden in early spring (when the spring peepers were out!) I like to build raised beds with 5-6” ledges on top so we can sit on them for weeding/ hanging. The deer did NOT ever go up into this garden which was on a terrace with very low walls and filled with pea gravel. Don’t know if it was the stucco walls or the couple of steps up/ down needed to get in but they just didn’t enter. I also love a dining table or seating area in the garden because when I’ve done all that work to make a garden want to be able to sit, hang, eat and entertain in it. A central table also gets lots of use for picking in large quantities and having somewhere to set it all. 🌿 We also had wisteria growing up the back terrace and I never had any regrets about- it never hurt the house and I loved having something to cut back and I loved the romantic unbridled feel it gave to the place. 🌿 And finally, we have seedlings going in our cold frames right now and I am beyond excited!! happy planting!!
Lauren Liess Instagram - After   before of our little @thelostcottage 🤍🌊 putting our beloved beach shack on the market today 😭 this will be a really hard one to say goodbye too… on the best sand street in Corolla with the sweetest neighbors anyone could ask for, we reeeeally don’t want to go but with the age / maturity difference with the littles and the teenagers in the bunk room, we know it’s time. This place has been so good to us and it’s got a piece of my heart. DM if you’re interested. Xo

Lauren Liess Instagram - For all the ocean lovers 🫶 The answer to the question I’ve been getting asked the most- why beach life? 🌊  TODAY IS THE DAY BEACH LIFE IS RELEASED INTO THE WILD!!!

Filled with all the design details and backstories on some of my favorite beach houses we’ve done along with musings on all that the ocean does for us- physically, mentally, and spiritually- this book is straight from my heart to you and I hope you love it.

Thank you truly to all the people who helped make this book a reality- my beach family in Corolla, the incredibly talented photographers whose beautiful work makes this book what it is- @helennoman @natesmithphoto @danielpullen @markbucklerphotography @mikeoshellphotography @ddiederichphoto - my agent & the team at @abramsbooks , our contractors, our incredible design team at Lauren Liess Interiors who helped make these houses, and to my family- for always being up for adventure. Love you. 

Beach Life: Home Heart & the Sea is officially available generally where books are sold!! 🌊
Lauren Liess Instagram - A new (for us) way to lay hardwood floors!!! Thanks to the CarrMichael Construction team for being patient with me as I map out a plan that requires  the most meticulous installation   brain-burning of calculations!! (But don’t worry, we’re all creating new neural pathways and working on neuroplasticity!! 😜) ps- a New Meadow episode is up now on you.  T.  U be!!
Lauren Liess - 32.6K Likes - pitter patter 🤍 Imprinting is magical 🪿🪿 *edited for understanding- geese are possibly the strongest imprinters in the planet meaning they identify with thing (mama goose/ human etc) they see when they are babies and bond/ follow it around seeking safety and/or care. 🤍 Primrose   Snowdrop are 5 day old female embden geese & they grow SO quickly!!! Geese reach their general full-grown size in only 2 months!! They currently spend their time eating (!!) sleeping, following us around on our heels & being held by someone in the family. 🤍 For now, they live in our orangery- one of my favorite spots in the house- the workroom off of our kitchen garden and will eventually move outside to a pen when it gets warmer out & their adult feathers come in. (They’ll turn white!) We will NOT be free-ranging them as our property is just too wild. ( even though we free-ranged geese for years on another property, our old sweet geese were killed almost immediately when we moved to this property.) We will be building aviaries for them to get the free-range experience and all the food nutrients they need from foraging. #liessgeese #goslings #geese

And the goslings are getting SO big!! 🌸  Snowdrop   Primrose are now 7 weeks old 🪿🪿 They live in a coop outside (still heated on cold nights until all of their adult feathers are in) and we supervise their free range time grazing. We’re building an aviary & moving tractor for them. They can only come in for short jaunts now (if you know you know 🫣) but they still want to follow us everywhere. They love pets and cuddling up with us for naps (and having grass plucked and hand fed to them 😂) #themeadowhouse #themeadow #fairytalemodern #ididmyhomework check out LL&Co for outfit details

Lauren Liess - 8K Likes - Today’s the day we launch my newest cabinet collections with @uniquekitchensandbaths !! 🌿 

After years of working with various cabinet companies when designing kitchens/ bathrooms to try to get the look and feel I wanted (timeless, authentic, REAL wood finishes and hand-painted cabinets that didn’t feel like they were done in a plastic-like factory coating- you know what I’m talking about!!) and struggling to achieve it, I began working with UKB to develop a bespoke line of cabinet collections that embody the authentic, natural, timeless cupboards I’d been dreaming up. 

With 25 colors in my natural palette (and custom available) and a number of wax   oil stains on white oak, pine, maple   more, UKB’s heirloom quality cupboards are handmade by local cabinetmakers. Since we started using the collection, client after client has been blown away by the quality and craftsmanship and it’s been so rewarding. ✨

 If you’re a designer, there is a trade program and UKB ships to all 50 states. Contact @uniquekitchensandbaths to open an account   get started with samples. If you’re a homeowner looking to redo your kitchen or bathroom, we offer e-design services through @laurenliessandco or you can work directly with UKB! And if you just like looking at eye candy and already have the kitchen of your dreams or are just starting the process, check out the KITCHEN portfolio section of my new website laurenliessinteriors.com for some inspo! I’m sharing peeks at the new catalog in stories today~ Enjoy!! Photo by @helennorman

Lauren Liess - 4.8K Likes - Celebrating the traditional Swedish holiday of Saint Lucia- The Festival of the Lights. 🕯️ St.Lucia (283- 304 AD) gave all she had to deliver food and provisions to persecuted Christians hiding in the catacombs. When she was caught and refused to denounce her faith, she was martyred at only 21 years old. Known as “the saint of light” because, legend has it, when she delivered bread in the dark catacombs, she wore a wreath of candles to light her way in the darkness, because she stood fearlessly for her faith giving hope and light to others, and because her name literally means “light.” 🕯️ Hundred of years later, on Sweden’s darkest winter night, her feast day, December 13th, she became a symbol for light in the darkness, a tradition that carries on to this day. I have always loved the story of St.Lucy (which is heartbreaking yet beautiful) and so this year we celebrated and created some of our own more modern (easier-for-us-to-handle) traditions for the day. (Including a super easy saffron spelt biscuit) (My aunts also recently told me- after seeing this video- that St.Lucia is also the patron saint of the tiny Northern Italian mountain village our family is from, Giustino!) We celebrated a little early so we could share a how-to vlog about the day in hopes that others might join in for the actual holiday on December 13th. Sending light   love to you all!! 🫶

I got the idea to put a cut-out from the hall to the living room when I saw light do something in a pretty way up there during our initial walk-through of the house over 4 years ago. Super simple to have done and I’m happy to have a little glowing a reminder of our faith in the house 🤍

Lauren Liess - 3.9K Likes - 2023 was one of our hardest but also one of the most beautiful. We lost loved ones and saw close friends lose loved ones far too soon. I hit some goals, forgot about other ones, and both laughed and cried a lot… many moments being torn by both pain and gratitude in one breath. I pondered (far too often) how this was humanly possible always ending in the thought that I guess maybe it’s essentially and completely human. Resilience is a beautiful thing I’ve been noticing a lot and appreciating in others this year. Praying for peace in 2024 and sending love and strength to you and yours 🙏🤍 happy new year from us to you!! Xo

Lauren Liess - 2.7K Likes - I designed this room around gardening   animals. The goal of the orangery was to create an all around space that’s a sometimes dining room/ sometimes office, where we grow plants, wash our vegetables from the garden, have fires, do crafts with the kids & hang with friends   animals. The birds have surprised me this winter and we just adore our friend, “Peach” who is sure to come looking for us when we forget to put out the bird seed. She will even fly upstairs to remind us 🤣 she is now verrrry curious about the goslings!! Connecting with wild animals brings such joy and peace and making a house that encourages it was one of my biggest (and most rewarding) challenges at the Meadow. 🕊️ #themeadow

Lauren Liess - 2.3K Likes - The “Whalerman’s Watch” beach cottage is almost finished just in time for the holidays! 🐳 So thankful for this chill time with the family. Sending love to you and yours this Thanksgiving! 

The design details: 
Leftover beams from the Meadow give the place those old scrap wood Outer Banks vibes with a little bit o’ those old English Lost Colony Roots. The original houses around here were made from leftover scrap wood from barns, shipwrecks etc. Still working on things like installing countertops and lighting.

Stucco walls, planked board ceilings, painted old floorboards mixed with brick and some existing furnishings (the ikea table came with the house & we had most everything in our barn!) and a couple of new pieces (the Meadow sofa from my collection with @taylorkingfurniture   an antique Swedish 1872-painted chest) have made this place into a relaxed, cozy, and flop-able beach pad. Loving it in the off-season with candles, kids and pups.  The whole renovation is featured in our “Saving Lost Cottages of the Outer Banks” video series. 🤍🌊

Lauren Liess - 2.3K Likes - The CORRECT 200-something-year-old tub has arrived at the Meadow!! 🛁And it is green!! (Phew!!) I’ve been going back and forth internally on its positioning… I have always planned for it to span left-to-right in front of the back window (1st video/ 2nd slide) but can’t forget how much I loved baths in our old tub which faced straight out out a (side) window so I’ve been wrestling with facing it towards the back window (3rd   4th slides). The glass door to the left side will lead to a walled-in garden with outdoor showers in it and the back window (not in yet) looks out to the back yard. I love the silhouette of the tub when it’s sideways and space-wise it fits the room perfectly but I can’t unsee the thought of those facing those views straight on. Here it is both ways and I’m 99.9% on team facing the views now. It somehow feels more authentic to me, having the tub face the way we will naturally want to look but I’m a little sad to see less of the tub straight on and I don’t love having my back to the room. Something I’ve written a bit about in the past is that there are some spaces where the “enjoyment” arrangement (the one you will be using and enjoying while in the space) isn’t as pretty upon entry or to look at… in these cases I think about pros and cons (enjoyment in the room usually wins unless it’s just way too awkward-feeling.) I’ll be posting a video update of our final decision once it’s made… what would you do?? Are you on Team sideways or Team Views?? 🫧 {Also, if you haven’t seen it, our first Meadow House episode is up on y o  u. T ube!

Caption : The CORRECT 200-something-year-old tub has arrived at the Meadow!! 🛁And it is green!! (Phew!!) I’ve been going back and forth internally on its positioning… I have always planned for it to span left-to-right in front of the back window (1st video/ 2nd slide) but can’t forget how much I loved baths in our old tub which faced straight out out a (side) window so I’ve been wrestling with facing it towards the back window (3rd 4th slides). The glass door to the left side will lead to a walled-in garden with outdoor showers in it and the back window (not in yet) looks out to the back yard. I love the silhouette of the tub when it’s sideways and space-wise it fits the room perfectly but I can’t unsee the thought of those facing those views straight on.

Though this house is only temporary, our people, pups, and things came with us and it embodies an easy, down to earth way of life we’ve come to love so much. Form   function, timeless pieces, natural materials, a strong indoor connection, and an emphasis on people over perfect are all part of creating of a down to earth home. I delve deep into lots more of it in my book & would love to know- what’s a down to earth home to you?

 {feel free to use this audio and make a video and share your own “down to earth” home. Tag so I can share 🤎}

Lauren Liess - 1.5K Likes - controversial kitchen stance- forget the work triangle!! I love a separate fridge/ microwave/ drink station so my hot (cooking   chopping) lane stays free and clear 🫶 I attempt to do this in kitchens whenever I can in some way or another. One thing we’re doing differently in our next kitchen - in an attempt to reduce our microwave usage (by make it less convenient)- is we’re putting our microwave behind a door- but still it will be set apart from the main cooking areas. My newest book FEELS LIKE HOME details out this entire kitchen (whole house actually) along with some of my favorite client projects and is a good one for digging in and understanding the whys behind the designs. (The  full house tour is also now up on our y ou  tube channel!) 🤍

We didn’t start our documenting much of the project so this first “episode” is the best I could do with cobbling together what footage we had but as the episodes go on it should get a bit better :) this first episode shares our story/ the project overview/ and first 2 years of the project. Things are finally cooking over there so I’ll be able to share more real time posts like I did with our current house / the “horse country modern” project!

We love it so dang much but we’re onto our next chapter, our next lost cottage. 🤍🌊 Shut the door to the cottage just now in its cleanest condition ever since all 7 of us have lived there to put it on the market… all I wanted to do was have a glass of wine and hang in the hammock to admire all of our work but it’s time to head home with crossed fingers someone falls for this place the way we did. (Ps- whoever gets this house will have the absolute BEST next door neighbors in the world!!! 😭🫶) My next book BEACH LIFE tells our story here -and other beach houses we’ve redone- and is coming out in a few short weeks!! Never did I think we’d be leaving this place just as the book launched but life does its thing and we flow with it. 🌊🤍

Thankful for our incredible employees   contractors   craftspeople   clients who let us dream away with them🫶  this was a fun one - an equestrian property- where we got to de-“modern farmhouse” the house and make it timeless. (Let me be super clear- I love a modern farmhouse, but this just wasn’t one and so the elements felt out of place and trendy. This is that same house I shared the fireplace photo of in a recent post so you can refer back to that one if you’d like more details) design by Lauren Liess Interiors | Renovation by @carrmichaelconstruction #foxvalefarm

Lauren Liess - 1.4K Likes - My next book, BEACH LIFE: Home, Heart & the Sea (@abramsbooks ) is coming out just before Memorial Day!!! 

Why so many books for a designer people have asked?  I love to share, chronicle, and synthesize concepts & events, and writing books helps me do just that. I often do my best thinking and internal changing at the beach where life is different and it sets me free… That got me wondering about what exactly happens to us by the ocean so I took a deep dive into the culture of beach towns, the interiors (of course!) the food, and even the science behind why people are healthier by the ocean and what the air, water, sand etc does for us. From the emotional, physical, physiological, and spiritual, this book is all about how the beach benefits us and sends us out as better versions of ourselves if we listen and let it. I promise you, if you’ve liked my other books, this one will probably be your favorite. Filled with gorgeous new images of houses I’ve designed and life at the beach. I’m SO excited to be branching out a bit and hope you enjoy!! Pre-order now for May 22nd delivery. 🤍🌊

I often do my best thinking and internal changing at the beach where life is different and it sets me free… That got me wondering about what exactly happens to us by the ocean so I took a deep dive into the culture of beach towns, the interiors (of course!) the food, and even the science behind why people are healthier by the ocean and what the air, water, sand etc does for us. From the emotional, physical, physiological, and spiritual, this book is all about how the beach benefits us and sends us out as better versions of ourselves if we listen and let it. I promise you, if you’ve liked my other books, this one will probably be your favorite. Filled with gorgeous new images of houses I’ve designed and life at the beach. I’m SO excited to be branching out a bit and hope you enjoy!! Pre-order now for May 22nd delivery. 🤍🌊

With interiors photography by @helennorman & nature / life  photography by some of the Outer Banks’ best local photographers this book is some serious  eye candy. {this is one of my favorite songs by a local singer/ songwriter I got lucky enough to meet through an open mic night at the Brogue - @josephelias1998 ) Beach Life available now to arrive next week on pub date!!! I mentioned this in stories, but if you plan to buy the book at some point, buying this week is so helpful to me and the ultimate success of the book because preorders affect future printings, sales channels etc. thank you so much for considering a preorder and to all of those of you who have!!! 🤗

Possibly my favorite spot in the house 🌿 Hoping to decorate the tree in there this week!

Lauren Liess - 1.2K Likes - When rest calls 🌨️ Every now and then I hit a season of life where certain words or themes jump out at me over and over again and they won’t be ignored. I start noticing them in what I’m reading, watching, hearing etc and I begin to think about them and what they mean for my life… how I can incorporate more of this thing into it and I question why the word seems to hold meaning for me in that time. {contentment, love   vibration have been some of those words for me in the past and they still jump out at me but they are old friends and nothing I’m surprised by when they pop up in funny ways.} Recently, “rest” has been coming for me… I’ve been appreciating it in various areas of life where I never really understood its role… in homemade pastas, broths and various recipes, in the land’s winter rest and my newfound patience with hard earth and bare trees, and in my own inner urge to pull back and rest, detoxing from noise and to be quite frank, the hate and anger I see here on a daily basis. Sending you love   rest. (And I’d love to know- what words are calling to you right now? 🤍)

Lauren Liess - 1.1K Likes - We get asked a lot about our kitchen gardens / the structure etc so I wanted to share a video of our old garden in early spring (when the spring peepers were out!) I like to build raised beds with 5-6” ledges on top so we can sit on them for weeding/ hanging. The deer did NOT ever go up into this garden which was on a terrace with very low walls and filled with pea gravel. Don’t know if it was the stucco walls or the couple of steps up/ down needed to get in but they just didn’t enter. I also love a dining table or seating area in the garden because when I’ve done all that work to make a garden want to be able to sit, hang, eat and entertain in it. A central table also gets lots of use for picking in large quantities and having somewhere to set it all. 🌿 We also had wisteria growing up the back terrace and I never had any regrets about- it never hurt the house and I loved having something to cut back and I loved the romantic unbridled feel it gave to the place. 🌿 And finally, we have seedlings going in our cold frames right now and I am beyond excited!! happy planting!!
