Lauren Minto - Interior Designer

I love Lauren's work. I got the chance to go in some of the house's she has done the design for and take pictures recently. Lauren not only is a local interior designer but also owns Penage Inc. an amazing store downtown Tuscaloosa. Below is Lauren's biography, and here is the link to the website CLICK HERE

After graduating with a B.S. in Interior Design from the University of Alabama, Lauren Minto began her career in design in 1981. Her dream of opening her own interior design studio was realized when she opened Penage in 1996.

Like fingerprints, no two clients are alike and she enjoys working with clients on an individual level to refine the decorative concepts they envision. Defining every detail is important so she collaborates with them throughout the entire process.

The Orange Crate

When we moved into our new house our kitchen desperately needed an island. We went in the Orange Crate not really knowing what to expect and we were blown away. The quality is unbelievable. They have so many custom pieces that you cannot find anywhere else. We bought an unfinished island and stained it ourselves and we love it. Our neighbors came over and they went and bought an island as well. We couldn't be more happy with our purchase. In fact whenever we need furniture the Orange Crate is where we go first.

The Orange Crate brings you top quality, solid wood furniture that you can customize for any home decor. The Orange Crate specializes in unfinished furniture that you can stain or paint, or let the Orange Crate crew custom finish your furniture in the color of your choice. Our quality furniture will fit right in with the other furniture you already have.

The name Orange Crate came from stories of the owners grandfather telling about people that would use orange crates as furniture during the great depression.

Penage - The Local Joint

I loved photographing Penage. Their store has so many unique pieces and textures. It is a family business that has amazing service and great relationships with their clients. I have been in some of the homes that Lauren Minto has done the interior design for and I was blown away at her work.

They’ve been offering decorative accessories for the home since 1996. Over the years, styles have changed, but Penage always offers the latest trends in lamps, furniture, picture frames, candles and more.
