Your home doubles as your work space — how do you balance the two?
"There are lots of elements in my house to promote relaxation and reflection. I have a nice bathroom, pool, a garden, and a mini movie room — which I do utilize to clear my head. I learned from designing for my clients that I would work more if my environment provided everything I needed within it. There are build-ins everywhere to compartmentalize my life, clothes, tools, and books. Combining my work and my personal life started out of necessity at first, but I found I could create a little utopia combining my assets."

Where the magic happens! Lauren's design office!
