An Introduction


Welcome!
Welcome to “What Danielle’s Loven!” I’m so happy you stopped by.
A little about me to get things started: I’m the founder, creator and owner of two successful interior design businesses located here in Minneapolis.  Vivid Interiors is my first passion – it’s my interior design business where our team creates custom looks for all kinds of clients and all types of homes and businesses.
I realize that not everyone can afford the luxury of a custom designer or wants to jump right in to a project though, so I created the retail store, Vivid Home.  It’s a great way for new clients to try us out and have “piece” of the Vivid while keeping within their budget. Next up? Chicago – so stay tuned!

What’s Vivid all about?
We focus on creating unique and classic decor that is on trend but doesn’t quickly look dated or like it’s trying too hard. For us, it’s about the surprises that come from mixing old with new, and making sure a client’s home or business looks good today – and tomorrow.
The key to making this happen is simpler than you’d think: it’s critical to make sure case goods such as tables and chairs are only purchased once.  We’re here to help our clients find their own signature pieces that will last generations. I believe your environment has so much to do with what and how you feel from day to day.  Creating a clean polished and functional space is the first step to success in life's journey.  

Who’s Danielle?
I am a born entrepreneur.  I was 10 years old and had my hands in all sorts of creative businesses from then on.  It started with a custom designed hair accessories business out of my Chicago suburb childhood home. During my teen years I expanded my creative drive into custom dry floral arrangements.  By the age of 20, I was working with a real estate company renovating apartment buildings throughout the city of Chicago. Most of my projects were concentrated in the “run down” Buck Town / Wicker Park areas. Today, these neighborhoods have become destinations for the hip and trendy. Good for them!
I’ve lived in the peaceful Twin Cities for the past 10 years but I often need to reenergize myself with spontaneous trips to the windy city. I have lived and traveled all over the world and worked on the East coast but my heart truly belongs in Chicago.
I hope you enjoy hearing about what "Danielle’s Loven" in the days, weeks & months to come!  I welcome your ideas, feedback, and most importantly your design questions. My hope is that you visit and leave with ideas and inspirations that can simplify and beautify your life and home.

Loven you,
Danielle
