Almost There Gabriella LaBeaux

Gabi sits down with Debs and Amanda of Design Shop WPG to chat about approachable, one of a kind design. This comes from their "do you" business practice. They believe in infusing personality and pushing traditional boundaries of design. Design Shop is a home based studio, and embodies the importance of the balance of life and work. They delve into their design process and some recent projects. Debs + Amanda give great advice for those looking to step into the design industry.

Everyone welcome my interior design auntie Sunny (no we're not related but we should be)! Sunny is the owner of Midnight Sunlight- a carefully curated showroom filled with beautiful and strange vintage furniture, art, and objects. Some of which are in my apartment... hint hint...wicker bike. Sunny has built an empire off of these principals: Have I seen it, will I ever see it again, do I have enough money to buy it, and do I love it?! She has taken me under her wing since my move to PDX, so it's such an honor to have her on. Everyone give it up for Sunny!

Hey Almost There peeps! Long time no solo catch up. Today's episode I'm getting into my move to our new apartment! We chat furniture sourcing, how I am settling in, and just good ol' happy reflecting for how far I've come. We also go deep about being the Creative Director for your life, which is just a woo-woo term for how to dream, pave the way, and go for what you want! It's like manifestation, but girlier. It allows you to direct your energy and follow through. Ok so let's get into it...

The events are centered around building community over a dinner party. Gabi attended a NNG event and loved it so much she just had to have Tarra on to share more.
