Our Founders
Our Story
Once upon a time, in the quaint little Lake Nona neighborhood of Laureate Park, a magical story began…
(you know we had to pay tribute to Disney so close by)
It’s the story of Erin and Sarah, two friends and neighbors, who became closer neighbors (literally), even closer friends, and then founders of Laurel Reath.
We’re all familiar with the saying ‘when life gives you lemons,…’, well friends, even during a crazy year of pandemic we found lemons and made some lemonade.
2020 was a trying year for us all and we saw so many people turn to new creative outlets just to make it through. It was during this time that we discovered we had so much more in common than living in the same awesome neighborhood, across the street from each other, showering our four-legged fur babies with attention and love.
It was the shared passion for decorating our homes, the one place we were suddenly bound to for the unforeseeable future, that really brought us together. Erin had just purchased a new home and had a blank canvas to work on while Sarah was in the middle of her own outdoor remodel. We shared concepts, ideas, usages, and colors. We continued sending each other pictures of products that were useful and added decorative value to our homes.
Then one day our friends (also neighbors) asked us to plan their baby shower (for the cutest baby boy, Hudson) and that’s when we realized, we have a true passion for unique decor and its personal touch. We understood that it was beyond just supporting our neighbors and friends during this challenging time, but involving them and their beautiful artisanal skills throughout that special day.
That’s how the idea of laurel reath was born.
