I am so excited to profile interior designer Carla Lane. Carla contacted me with comments on recent posts, including the nursery I am working on at the moment; she loved the vintage barrel-back chair and sent me some images of chairs she had rescued and made-over herself! (View the desk chair she uses in her office here; she found it on the street, spray painted it and had the seat re-covered. I love the monogrammed cushion!)

With an eclectic-traditional style, Carla Lane Interiors has been styling homes in Los Angeles since 2006. Incorporating re-worked vintage pieces originally found at flea markets, thrift stores and Craigslist is among Carla’s trademarks, which also include use of whimsical pattern and bold color to create energetic, personal spaces. Carla also tells me she loves working on family homes, creating chic spaces that are simultaneously childproof.

I would imagine we will be hearing more about Carla in the future—her taste is so attuned to what’s currently energizing the interior design world. Also, look for a feature on her wedding (held at the Parker Palm Springs!) sometime in the coming week here at theSCOOP…
