About Me

 I’m no Johanna Gaines.

👇🏻 But I have this thing 👇🏻

It’s a passion in my blood that I can’t ignore any longer.

This deep seeded need to know and do all things home styled and designed. 

To shape and design

To create, color and craft

Whatever it is that makes a lovely balanced, 

Well thought out styled home 

From the inside out.

To organize and strategize a lifestyle

By spatially constructing a floor plan.. 

But I’m an x-ray tech. 

And I do MRI. And CT..

I built myself up to be some exotic medical imaging professional 

with letters behind my name for 8 years.

It’s job secure

It’s noble

It’s a good field to get into 

It’s a good income

It’s what I’m supposed to do

I still love it…

But what happens when 

passion > love?

Sometimes it’s like I’m cheating on my marriage with my real true love. I’m married to this career I’ve built in radiology but I’m in love with home design and renovation.

This passion for interior design is pre Johanna Gaines, pre Love It or List It, pre Karen and Mina or Tarik and Christina or HGTV dream home reels..

This is 

Instinct

Expectation

Who am I kidding?

I never went to design school. 

I never made a sale from a house call.

I never thought I could compete with the professionals. 

I never wanted to be a starving artist. 

But I do know how to preach about passion. 

God planted this seed here to be watered over time. 

🌿

He watered it when I won art awards in high school.

He watered it when I worked for Ethan Allen Interior Design as a beckoning receptionist sneaking over to observe the design vignettes. 

He watered it when He gave me a house to redesign after a house fire. 

He watered it when I learned how much fun it was to make wooden scarecrows and 

launch what’s now called Home Envee.

I’ve met my maker more times than I can count with each craft, project, and 

repurposed piece because of the flooding joy I find in doing it.

🌿

God knew that eventually this seed would see the light and bloom 

if He watered it enough. 

And He’s telling me it’s here. It’s time to shine.

This inner need to design, decorate, style, create, produce, is on O V E R D R I V E 

and I’m not going to die without ever knowing what could’ve been. 

Home design has always been engraved in my heart. 

Always has been, always will be:

My source of peace

My stress release

My greatest calling to explore 

So let me ask you:

>> Do you feel it too? <<

>> Can you relate? <<

>> Are you married to a career while being in love with something else? <<

Then follow me. Let’s nuzzle our way through these 

not so scary big screen stars and show ‘em that

⭐️ there is room for us.  ⭐️

There is a place for people like us who think this way, can’t help but to create all day, and dream to be heard & seen in the interior design space. The home living & influencing space. 

Subscribe to my email list to see how much we may be alike.

Because regardless of who they think I was, this is who I am.

A non traditional interior designer by instinct with a God given heart for the home.

My name is Laura Jean.
