We had the good fortune of connecting with Lindsey Colhoun and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Lindsey, alright, let’s jump in with a deep one – what’s you’re definition for success?
To me, success is about truly loving what I do and witnessing the profound impact we have on the lives we touch and the spaces we transform. It’s about staying true to our values, nurturing creativity, and fostering a collaborative environment where growth thrives. Success is bringing a vision to life—whether it’s in a beautifully designed room or in the way a client feels at home. It’s about continually evolving, learning, and pushing boundaries while maintaining a balance between personal fulfillment and professional achievements. Ultimately, success is living a life aligned with purpose, passion, and the pursuit of excellence.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My team and I approach every project with deep passion, creating meaningful connections with our clients that go beyond the design process. We take great pleasure in getting to know them—their lifestyle, how they live, what brings them joy, and the personal moments or memories that matter most in their home. For us, each project is not merely another house, but an intimate canvas where we have the privilege of crafting a unique and personalized lifestyle that genuinely reflects the essence of each client and how they like to live and love.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My ideal itinerary is a perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, an inviting atmosphere, and of course, some fun people-watching.
I’d start the day with a leisurely brunch, soaking in the Parisian charm at Republique, a chic cafe nestled in Mid-Wilshire where the ambiance is as delightful as the food. Afterward, I’d meander through the eclectic shops and cozy restaurants in Silverlake, making time for a late afternoon cocktail—a perfect way to savor the area’s vibrant energy. An early outdoor dinner at San Vicente Bungalows is a must, especially in the pool area, where the setting is as chic as the clientele. A stroll around Melrose Place would follow, with a necessary stop at Byredo to indulge in their most exquisite fragrances. The journey continues with a visit to the Ojai Valley Inn Spa, where relaxation reaches new heights, and a trip to The Well in Summerland for their stunning furnishings and an all-around beautiful atmosphere. To top it all off, I’d head to San Ynez, where the rustic charm of Mattie’s Tavern welcomes you with open arms.. I’d end the day with a leisurely stroll through the quaint shops and indulge in some wine tasting at the local rooms—a perfect way to cap off an unforgettable itinerary.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Both of my parents, each a remarkably creative entrepreneurs in their own right, profoundly shaped my understanding of passion and dedication in one’s career. I had the privilege of witnessing their boundless enthusiasm and commitment to their respective fields, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of pursuing a path that resonates with both love and joy. Their influence was a guiding force, making it clear that my own journey must be one that not only fulfills me but also aligns with my innate passions.
