Enjoy The Beautiful Simplicity Of Pure Style Home
For those who haven’t discovered the heavenly design blog *Pure Style Home* you are in for a fabulous treat this month. In the latest installment of “Mission: Design” I am sitting down with Lauren Liess, the founder of *Lauren Liess Interiors* and the author of the insanely popular blog, *Pure Style Home. Lauren’s self-described design philosophy of "pure style" is based on keeping things simple, happy and beautiful. She believes that the best way to do this is to weed out all of the unnecessary things and keep & seek out only what you love. Lauren doesn’t just pay lip service to her motto “pure, style” rather she lives it and shares it with her clients and blog readers. In addition to running a successful interior design studio, Lauren is a busy mother of two young children. In our interview, she shares her thoughts on design, family friendly furnishings and the challenges of being a working mother. [Read more*]
