  • Resumen

  • Lauren Riddei of LouLou Interiors joins Kimberly Grigg on the podcast to talk about the art of storytelling through design, her love of treasure hunting for vintage and secondhand finds, and Thrill of the Hunt, her collaboration with Susan Seagroves for Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore in Myrtle Beach, California. Kimberly dives into Lauren’s background and how she came into design in 2017, after a job loss, when planning her wedding ignited her love of the design process. Lauren leaned into her creative thought and love of people and founded LouLou Interiors - named for her childhood nickname - and describes her aesthetic as “modern, yet soulful - and collected”. She uses bold colored furniture in balance with calmer backgrounds, finding harmony in loud unique pieces and quieter paint tones. Lauren has a love of bringing old pieces into new life, finding vintage or secondhand furniture with good bones that can translate into a modern space.   Thrill of the Hunt, Lauren Riddei’s monthly digest for Habitat for Humanity in Myrtle Beach with friend Susan Seagrove, dovetails with her newest endeavor, Shop LouLou Interiors, as both explore the vintage, antique, and unique pieces she finds. She and Kimberly discuss the ethos of living beautifully, what a Unicorn List is and how to use it when consignment shopping, and how a consultation with a professional designer can propel your own decor forward. About Lauren Riddei: Born and raised on the Virginia coast, calling Myrtle Beach home in 2013 was easy. Lauren later founded LouLou Interiors - specializing in the architectural selections process that comes with custom new builds and historic renovations. Intuitively, Lauren was attracted to the world of design because of the restorative and positive impact it had on her. She discovered when her personal space was meaningfully crafted with form, beauty, and function, she felt an inner joy. After this realization, she knew others needed the therapeutic and inspiring art form of interior design. When Lauren isn’t creating, she’s likely pulling friends and strangers together, perusing for antiques, surfing or boating with her husband somewhere off the Atlantic.

Let me see your storage unit because you will be surprised what we pull out and use because it has a story. Because it has meaning.   Kimberly Grigg  00:10 Welcome to Decorate Like A Design Boss, a podcast for design lovers who want to create beautiful spaces in their very own homes. My name is Kimberly Grigg, and I'm a professional interior designer who teaches design lovers, like yourselves, how to decorate. And when I say decorate, I mean decorate like a design boss. If you're ready to create a space that your family loves, and your neighbors can't stop raving about, Well, buckle up, honey, because it's time to design.   Kimberly Grigg  00:44 So welcome to Decorate Like A Design Boss Lauren of LouLou Interiors, and I know you have a last name but I'm scared to say it because I'm afraid I'm gonna pronounce it incorrectly. So share with me how you say your last name. And I think there's a cute story that goes with it.   Lauren Riddei  01:03 So it's pronounced Riddei.   Kimberly Grigg  01:06 Riddei: that sounds so French.   Lauren Riddei  01:09 It's Italian, actually.   Kimberly Grigg  01:09 Oh is it?   Lauren Riddei  01:10 My husband's family is Italian.   Kimberly Grigg  01:14 I'm coming to your house for dinner.   Lauren Riddei  01:16 You know, I don't eat much Italian.   Kimberly Grigg  01:17 Really? Oh, gosh, I would love to eat more but I don't think my hips would like that too much.   Lauren Riddei  01:24 So the story is actually when I married Ryan in 2017, he's a local, he's from Myrtle Beach, he's from the area, and it was pronounced "riddee" when I met him. And I just was like, you know what I get a lot of pushback when I tried to say it. And I come to find out that Ryan's great uncle moved from Italy to California to become a country singer. And thought he would sell more albums if he changed his Italian last name to sound a little bit more country. So he changed it from Riddei to Riddee.   Kimberly Grigg  01:58 Oh, wow.   Lauren Riddei  01:59 So when I married Ryan, I said I think we got to go back.   Kimberly Grigg  02:02 Yes, we're not country singers. Wow. So that... she is a true designer.  She designed her own last name.   02...
