From Flooded to Functional: The Importance of Thoughtful Space Planning

Ever feel like your home is conspiring against you? Between unexpected floods and the chaos of family life, turning a house into a true home can feel impossible. But what if those challenges were the catalyst for something beautiful?

I'm Lindsay Olson from Lulu Designs, and in today's episode of Interior Design Diaries, I sit down with Michelle Barto to chat about her home's incredible transformation. We dive into the drama of not one, but two floods in her home, and how that led to a complete design overhaul. It's a story about turning lemons into a stylish, functional, and deeply personal lemonade. She now takes joy in seeing her family truly live in the space, and it serves as a reminder that good design isn't just about aesthetics; it's about creating a backdrop for life's precious moments.

Key Takeaways From Our Conversation:

▪️ Sometimes, disaster leads to the best design

▪️ Functionality is key for a busy family

▪️ A home should tell your unique story

▪️ Small details can make a big difference

▪️ Organization reduces daily friction

▪️ There's beauty in old and new
