Feature Friday!

A big Seattle welcome to my very talented, creative, classy, fun, inspirational, and an incredibly gifted designer friend
Lana!

Lana just transplanted into the Seattle area from California. She has been working for years as a professional stager. Then spent a year traveling across the United States bringing her design talent into many lucky American homes. She loves to travel and brings those experiences, colors, and textures into each new space she encounters to create a welcoming, fresh, urban approach to design.



Although she is eager to try her hand at designing in the rain and incorporating all the attributes of the Northwest into your space, she had to begin with her own very cool 1920's studio. She has done an incredible job. Here is just a glimpse of her amazing talent.



These lovely corbels hold two Quite Essential originals! They hang over the bed and create a naturally beautiful focal point!


Just a little collection on her entertainment center...love it!


A fancy down pillow with Grandma's vintage buttons!

This is a Lana original, I love this idea. She has combined the need for an entertainment unit with her much needed office storage, and a few pretty pretties! A small space must!

Love the contrast here!!

Now that her space is just about done, she is ready to tackle yours! Her bags are packed, ready to design at a moments notice!

Happy Friday!
