MY LIFE

Hi, I'm Laureen Gibbel. I'm married and a mom of 6 energetic children. I love to cook, bring order to our life, and go on dates with my husband John!

After investing fifteen years as a Registered Nurse specializing in cardiology, I left my career in nursing to focus my efforts on our family.  Shortly after, in pursuit of my passion, I obtained my Certificate of Home Interiors from the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design.

My love for design has developed organically, beginning with fixing up a series of houses that John and I purchased to live in during our first 10 years of marriage. Some projects were as simple as upgrading paint and flooring finishes.  Others required full renovations of kitchens, bathrooms, and reconfiguring walls to create the spaces we envisioned. I loved the transformation of turning a tired, outdated house into a peaceful oasis that we called home.

My children have taught me to design with practical elegance. Presently my home is designed with an eye toward durability and replaceability, in order to withstand the wayward choices of young children and their writing instruments.  As the needs of every season of life and situation are different, so can be the approach to design.

MY PASSION

I am passionate about creating living and work spaces that feel inspired and life-giving. Beyond the benefit of something that is aesthetically pleasing, there is value for your physical health and mental well-being in creating places that bring refreshment and inspiration to you.

At the end of the day, it's good to be HOME. My home is my oasis...if yours is not, it can be!  It's a place to enjoy - find joy, be refreshed and renewed.

MY STYLE

My natural style tends toward a contemporary collected feel. Furniture is not necessarily a matched set, but looks like it has been thoughtfully purchased and collected over time.  It's a sophisticated and classy look that is fun to put together and will be uniquely yours.  I welcome my clients to be involved in the process as much or as little as they desire.  Whether our space of focus is a single room, an entire home, or work environment, I find great joy in bringing new life through layout, color, texture, furnishings and accents.

Thank you for your interest. I am eager to explore partnering with you to create a place at home or at work which reflects your personality, preferences and brings your dreams to life. Feel free to contact me for a conversation! 

To spaces that bring enjoyment and delight,
