Lauren Liess continues to be on the up and up. The woman behind interior design firm and textiles company, Lauren Liess & Co. (founded 11 years ago and based in Great Falls), is now on HGTV with her own show, Best House on the Block, and continues to work with clients throughout the Northern Virginia region.

Most recently, Liess released her newest and second book, Down to Earth: Laid-Back Interiors for Modern Living on Oct. 8, showcasing her signature designs made for easy living. The book features design tips on how to incorporate nature and approachability into readers’ homes, alongside vivid photos and advice on creating a lifestyle of both creativity and functionality.
