I have to tell you, I have a big crush. A big, big designer girl crush. Ever heard of the name Lara Spencer? Maybe you have seen the book I Brake for Garage Sales...? I know that I have briefly mentioned my mom from time to time on this blog, but she is the person to credit for the discovery of this fabulous designer. Months ago, she mentioned Lara and her awesome aesthetic and her unique talent for picking up old and dated furniture and transforming them into completely custom and glam pieces. I neglected to research any further, sorry Mom. Until this weekend when Lara's show graced the screens of HGTV. I was blown away and definitely was sent to kick rocks. As they always say, Mom is always right.

Does that trellis entryway make anyone else need a defibrillator? Pretty sure my heart stopped. Remind you of a certain trellis wall stencil we discussed last week? Now I am for sure implementing that stencil somewhere in my home. Eat your heart out Kelly Wearstler. So who else is crushing on Lara's bright and collected aesthetic? You know you love her. Don't deny your feelings. XOXO
Oh wao!! I had not heard of her...loving everything my eyes are seeing!
ReplyDeleteLove!!
ReplyDeletePlease thank your mother for such a great find!
ReplyDeleteI don't get to watch tv much, but actually saw her show this week with the House of her best friend that she re-did. She was not only wonderful, but having so much fun that I totally got into it!! xo
ReplyDeleteYes! She has great style and can really transform pieces!! I saw her home in a magazine and was super impressed. I love a girl who like to bargain shop.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! And she is on the East Coast. So talented.
ReplyDeleteI saw it this weekend too!! Is it a regular show or was it a special? I couldn't find when it was on again...
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one who ignored her. I was thinking how good could a morning show host be? Then I saw the awesomeness. Those turquoise lamps!
ReplyDeleteThat peacock wallpaper brought tears to my eyes!
ReplyDeleteYESSSSS. I watched her show this weekend and died. I called my mom immediately to have her flip on the tv, and then had an immense urge to go thrifting. She's the queen.
ReplyDeleteYes, HGTV had several of her shows on this weekend. Love her style and use of thrifted/repurposed items!

ReplyDeleteLove all the colors she uses!!!
Very stylish! Thanks for sharing :)
Isnt she Lara Spencer from like Entertainment Tonight or one of those entertainment shows??? I saw last fall when they sort of tested out her "I Brake for Garage Sales" show and was IN LOVE. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her style.
ReplyDeleteI was obsessed with this HGTV show, I wish they would do more with her- the one was NOT enough!
