Hi! I'm Ann Lacouture.
I grew up in Las Vegas, NV in a family of 9 with a giant gap between my front teeth and a propensity for decorating.
When I was about 8, I received my first bedding set for Christmas from my Grandma Hatch and thought I had died and gone to heaven. As it happens, it was also during that year that my mom told me alllll the stuff about where babies come from. I told her she was worse than the devil. Anyway…that was a big year.
I married Brian in 2001; graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Statistics in 2002 (I changed my major from Interior Design when there was no mention of toss pillows in my first Interiors class–insert eye roll emoji here); and started having children in 2003. For the last 18 years, I’ve been a stay-at-home-mom, which has been a dream for me–not only because I’m passionate about motherhood–but because it’s allowed me to decorate my own home to my heart’s content.
As much as I love and appreciate beautiful neutral interiors, my soul yearns to live in color.
I’m glad you’re here. Welcome!
I bet we've got something in common!
