Lauren Makk is a Nashville, TN based Interior Designer, DIY Expert, and Television Host. She has captured the hearts and attention of fans near and far with her budget friendly approach to luxury DIY and re-design, and continuing just that as she graces the December 2022 cover of Belle Meade Lifestyle. It isn’t every day that you hear the words ‘Luxury’ and ‘DIY’ in the same sentence, but that’s because it hasn’t been done before… until Lauren Makk broke out on the DIY scene and quickly started changing people’s perception on DIY with every project she does. Many people may know Lauren from her time spent on multiple design shows across many networks including TLC’s Emmy Award winning Trading Spaces, A&E’s Drill Team as well as co-host on ABC’s FABLife.

This is one of my favorite quotes from this week’s episode: 

“You just bring your personality, you bring your skills, you bring your talents, and you let God do the rest.” – Lauren Makk
