Today I am going to share with you an amazing website that allows everyone the opportunity to gain high-end interior design looks.

See how Havenly is bringing beautifully designed home to everyone.

We have seen technology bring instant gratification to everyone is various industries. Uber brings you a car service at the touch of your fingertips while Seamless grabs you dinner. So many Design Apps so little time.

Let’s talk about the accessibility Havenly has built to all patrons of luxury interior design. Co-founders Jessie Dixon and Lee Mayer have been making waves by combining person decorating consulting and e-commerce. Havenly is made up of Denver and New York office locations with a plethora of trained interior designers.

In four simple steps you can receive customer interior design expertise right in front of you. The process starts with a style quiz to define your visual aesthetic. Then for $185 you describe in more detail what project you are looking to achieve to an interior designer. In 5 business days you will be provided feedback on your ideas and sent 2 visual concepts. The last step is to buy what you like at the advertised price and love you room!

Of course this process doesn’t give you nearly as much close interaction and a traditional interior design firm can give you but it is affordable and great for someone whose in need of a quick fix.

DID YOU KNOW THIS FAMOUS COMEDIAN IS SLIM PALEY’S HUSBAND?

I’ve been singing the praises of high end interior design blogger Slim Paley for near on a year now. We’ve even traded a handful of mutually-complimentary Tweets.

So I was naturally interested when I came across her real name in an online discussion of some of the best high end interior design blogs out there.

Carolyn Espley-Miller.

Because I’m such a fan of her unique take on design, life, and art, I had to know more. So I did a quick Google search

Turns out that at the dawn of civilization (the 80’s), Slim/Carolyn was a model who appeared in the video for KajaGooGoo’s new wave classic “Too Shy.” Eventually she met an SNL cast member and rising star of the comedy world.

His name was Dennis Miller.

That’s right, that Dennis Miller…the Weekend Update guy and present-day political firebrand.

If that’s not a power couple, I don’t know what is.

Congratulations to Dennis for finding such a great match!
