This year, in honor of WithIt’s 20^th anniversary, student educational scholarships were awarded to women studying to be a part of the design industry. One of these recipients was our youngest team member, Hannah Carlton. This June, she had the pleasure of being flown out to the WithIt 2017 Annual Professional Women’s Conference for the Home and Furnishings Industries, in Charleston, SC. Here she had the opportunity to listen to many keynote speakers, given by influential women in the industry. The impressive list included Eleanor Beaton, President and CEO of Impact & Influence for Women, Carol Sankar, author of The Confidence Factor For Women in Business, Lynne Jensen-Nelson, Conversion-omics Sales Training, and many more influential interior designers, decorators and home furnishing industry icons.

Team LED finds inspiration wherever we go, and luckily we all have the opportunity to travel quite a bit! We hand picked a few photos that inspire us and we want to share our favorite travel moments with you.

Every year HD Expo comes to Vegas, and we get to go! This hospitality design event brings the newest and greatest hospitality and commercial design products together. Just like we do during Las Vegas Market, we gathered together our favorite parts of the show.

Earlier this month, our entire team attended the groundbreaking of the Las Vegas Showcase House benefiting the Core Academy. It was so exciting to walk through the house and imagine what it will begin to transform into starting NOW! As a design team, it was also a privilege to interact with visitors who stopped by to see our plans for the master bedroom and master bath in Las Vegas’ historic Scotch 80s area.

Apartment living often means squishing all of your stuff into 800 square feet. While we have tips and tricks for making any space grandeur, these tips are for your smallest spaces that we recently presented to the residents at Elysian West–  a luxury apartment complex in Las Vegas.

Another six months have passed since the last Market (can you believe that?!) and team LED braved the crowds and rainy downpour for Winter Market a few weeks ago. We’re bringing our ten favorite market moments to you! So sit back and enjoy from the comfort of your home or office, we’ll spare you the blisters of walking miles and miles to see everything.

Every once in awhile we’re asked to contribute our opinion for local or national media outlets… see our latest below:

For most college freshmen, moving into the dorms this fall will be their first foray into independent living, but that doesn’t mean it comes without rules: no holes in the walls, no paint, no removing furniture, no damage to the room. But don’t despair, there’s plenty of ways to make the room your own, and make it suit your needs.

Las Vegas Market boasts of wonderful events, happening parties and of course great design. We told you about our team’s favorite moments of LVMKT here, but we definitely need to elaborate on the amazing opportunity Lisa had to speak as part of the WithIt panel featuring social media celebrities at the Somerton Dwelling showroom at Las Vegas Market earlier this month. As a team, we’ve attended some pretty fantastic events hosted by The Media Matters – one being a farm to table dinner at the Woodard Furniture showroom along with elite editors from various publications during High Point Market last April.

Every six months the world’s most popular and upcoming design brands make the trip to Las Vegas to showcase the newest and greatest products. We’re so lucky to be right in the center of it all! Market was stunning (as usual!) with a plethora of new vendors, trends and stylish décor we can’t wait to show you! So we won’t… here are #TeamLED’s Top 10 Summer Market Moments!
