Having an architect as a father and a mother with a background in interior design, Lauren grew up understanding that a space is a place for expression and comfort. When she was 11 years old, her parents bought a fixer upper in Reading, MA. Off they went from Cambridge urban living to suburbia. Maybe cliche, but over the years Lauren watched her house transform into a home. Given the ability to pick out her own paint colors, furniture, and bed sheets, she quickly understood the passion her parents had. That passion continued through the decoration of her first dorm room and later, her first apartment. Lauren now helps friends with room decorations and layouts.
