I see a few new faces here, so it was high time for a little re-introduction! I’m Laura, the creative brain behind Laura Pennington Interiors LLC. 🤍
A few design facts about me + a few random facts no one asked for 😂:
▪️I am drawn to warm, comfortable interiors with heavy European + historical influences
▪️One of my mantras is that I believe good design begins with empathy—meeting the home and the client exactly where they’re at.
▪️I grew up in the Fort Wayne area (Auburn!), but my husband and I lived in Nashville, TN for 5 years before moving back to Fort Wayne
▪️While I originally started college as an Interior Design major, I made a pivot and graduated with a degree in Art Therapy (which also proves very useful most days). Years later I went back and became certified in residential interior design
▪️While I didn’t recognize it at the time, some of my first careers out of college were major stepping stones back to interior design. I worked in sales at a high end appliance company, then worked for an environmental graphic design firm (think branded spaces, signage & wayfinding systems). All the while I was also a fine artist painting in my spare time.
▪️In addition to the roles above, I also became a mom. I have two girls and it’s the work I’m most proud of 🤍 I’ve grown my business over the last 7 years alongside parenting them full-time at home. This is the first year when everyone is at school and it’s a bittersweet feeling!
▪️My heart is for historic homes and/or working to infuse timeless character into newer homes
▪️I love coffee, reading, thrifting/antiquing, nostalgic movies (ie You’ve Got Mail), late night wine + chats with my husband, eating out, and taking vacations with my fam
▪️I can break a banana clean in half on my forehead (it’s my one party trick)
Thanks for being here and supporting this thing I’ve loved creating and growing. Excited to share more of what is happening behind the scenes!
