This is the story of how IG friends become real friends. Dawnelle and Kirsten are a cousin duo with one of the most amazing online textile shops we know of! You’ve got to check out DKRenewal.com. We’ve been following them for a long time on IG and were so happy when they agreed to be 2018 Style Icons and design a lounge for us. Their textiles are just the BEST!

Alissa Lawton of Gather Events can be found up and down the west coast planning and designing amazing weddings. Her designs never disappoint and the versatility of her work is impressive. She has an eye for scale, color, and a desire to provide the very best experience for her clients. We just love her! And if planning and designing your wedding isn’t enough she also designs the most beautiful stationary. 

Katheryn Moran is a Bellingham/Seattle photographer extraordinaire and her photography is just like her; bright, fun, and full of color. You can find her snapping away at weddings, with babies and families, and styling for the most gorgeous food/product shots. She works with all kinds of brands, many wonderful clients, and was awarded Gold for best of the Northwest Photographer. She shot all of our lounges for the 2017 Style Icon Lounges as well as this years crew.

Last year we asked 4 of our fellow women business owners to style a lounge that reflects themselves and the brands they have built. We had so much fun we decided to make it an annual event. We invited the 2017 Style Icons out to hang with us as 3 new Style Icons designed the 2018 set of lounges. We were blown away at the diversity, creativity, and personality that came out in each lounge. The best part about this collaboration is you can rent their creations as a package here.

You can find inspiration anywhere. Food, travel, art, people, places; it’s literally limitless! I was inspired by the Jessa sofa because of its unique color and texture of the fabric. It’s fun and funky just like one of my favorite cities, Portland Oregon. I’ve been craving anything different and unique. I knew I wanted to create a lounge that felt eclectic but still comfortable.

Sara is as colorful of a person as the ink on her arms. A writer by trade she has her talented hands in many different pots around Bellingham. You may find her at one of our favorite spots, The Temple Bar, whipping up a custom cocktail for a Twin Peaks screening, or throwing lavish costume parties. She is fun, she is creative, she is a #girlboss. Making it happen everywhere she goes and she is one of the most welcoming people we have met on our journey thus far.

You may recognize her at one of the many events she coordinates for the Downtown Bellingham Partnership like the Commercial Street Night Market, Morning Jam, or pulling off the perfect PNW-Centric event for private clients. She is a creative consultant available for wedding coordinating, event styling, photo shoot coordinating and corporate events.

We recently got together with 4 of our favorite girls bosses and asked them to style a lounge that reflects both them and the powerful brands they have created. They came out to our warehouse and used our collection to put together distinct and beautiful lounges that you can now rent as packages here.
