House Counselor Laurie March is Here to Help
Jan 5, 2017, 13:44 PM
Host and creative force behind HGTV’s The House Counselor, Laurie March guides her clients through the potential minefield that a remodeling project can become. Laurie’s passion for home improvement and remodeling was unearthed while remodeling her own 1920’s Spanish style home. She has been acknowledged as ‘40 under 40’ in Residential Remodeling by Professional Remodeler Magazine, and has been featured
in Lucky Magazine, Design*Sponge and
USA Today.
Q: What was your first job?
Laurie: "Cleaning bathrooms in high school. Maybe that's where I first fell in love with tile...it SURE isn't where I fell in love with cleaning!"
Q: What famous figure inspires your career?
Laurie: "Martha Stewart literally blew the doors off the interior design world - and made homeownership and design something that everyone could learn about. Her empire is something incredible - she really has curated so much style and design information over the last 20 years!"
Q: What is your favorite room in your home and why?
Laurie: "My living room has a giant, gray, modern sectional, with a shag rug underfoot. You can have friends over and everyone can sprawl out and watch TV together! My dog Newton and I can be found on it every Sunday."
Q: What’s your personal mantra?
Laurie: "Life's too short for crappy linens, bad coffee, and mean people. If you're experiencing one of the three of these - it's time to upgrade!"
Laurie will be taking over the Main Stage presented by IKEA at 5 pm on Friday, January 6th, 1pm and 5 pm on Saturday, January 7th, and 1 pm on Sunday, January 8th. Stop by for renovation advice, project management tips, and tons of design inspiration.
The Johnson County Home + Garden Show has everything you need to refresh your space without breaking the bank! Don't have tickets yet? Get 2-for-1 on Facebook and treat a friend or family member to the show. We can't wait to see you there!
