Lori Dennis is in The House & Final Day 5 Giveaway Announced!


Lori Dennis



When I was in High Point last week for market, I had the pleasure of meeting Lori Dennis (who was also a "High Point Style Spotter" ) and Kelli Ellis,her design partner. The two L.A. Celebrity designers are not only successful HGTV stars, best selling authors, sought after speakers, but most recently have started Design Camp in four major cities across the United States!  

  These fab women have too many accolades to mention here, please click over to read more about these successful design icons and their list of accomplishments.

One of the aspects of attending High Point Market, that I truly enjoy, is the lecture series offered at each market for attendees.  I must say, I think this market's offering were the best yet.  This market seemed to have so many great events I had trouble choosing what to hear. It was a juggling act for sure.  After realizing I was going to be really late for the event I had planned to attend on Sunday, I decided rather than miss both events, I would pop into the High Point theater to hear Lori and Kelli speak along with my friend, designer/celebrity Shay Geyer and designer/author/celebrity, Nathan Turner in a panel discussion called "Lights, Camera, Action". I'm so happy I was able to hear them.  It was a very informative  discussion about how the four designers became media superstars and how designers today can become part of this emerging trend.  Each designer told their story which was interesting in itself.  It was obvious how comfortable and relaxed they were in front of an audience.

Afterwards we went on stage and Nathan signed copies of his fab new book, Nathan Turner's American Style"!  I had to ask
him about his "southern inspired" quotes he used on stage to
which he laughed and said "my dad was from Tennessee". I knew he had some southern roots in there somewhere.

Kelli Ellis joined in on the southern conversation and added a few favorite quotes of her own.

  6. DESIGN CAMP!!! OMG It is the camp I dreamed of all my life...sitting on my bed with my books and magazines..."wouldn't it be great if there was such a thing as a camp....where designers met...." ahhhhhhhh

    Nathan Turner is one of the most down to earth people, much less designers I have ever encountered. I adore his daisy and Nacho doggies.

    Wish I could be in your pocket!!!
