Interior design –


Think of it as Botox for the home!
Andrea is an interior designer who can help you update or transform the look of your home by bringing out the best in what you already have and adding a little bit of design magic to give it a whole new lease of life. Having lived and designed in London, Atlanta and LA, she has learned to blend the modern with just enough of the “old” to create an eclectic look that is personal and unique to every space and home. Because Andrea uses what you already have, then adds to it if your budget permits, your space will always feel like your own, just tweeked and perfected with her design eye. She is currently offering room-by-room design for an affordable flat rate of just $300.00 per room. This rate includes: a personalized design and floor plan; color and lighting design; space maximization and aesthetic placement of furniture; guided consultation for new purchases; curation of your art and accessories.

LavNav® Toilet Night Light


A great alternative to standard night lights. Instead of harsh bathroom lights in the middle of the night, or night lights that occupy valuable electrical sockets without putting the light where you need it most, the LavNav® offers a better solution. It discreetly mounts right on the lid of your toilet seat, turns on when you approach in the dark and turns off after you leave, shining gentle, yet sufficient light where and when you need it. It even uses red and green lights to cleverly show you the position of the seat. Measures 3 1/2″ H x 3″ W x 1″ D. It is quick and easy to install with the included adhesive 3M mounting tape, and requires two AA batteries, not included.
