About Us
Our Story…
Lindsay Boughton Design combines over 20 years of experience, 10 of which are specifically in interior design and renovations. Lindsay is trusted by vendors, contractors, builders and homeowners alike because of her years of experience, impeccable eye for design, and infectious spirit.
Lindsay did not set out to become an Interior Designer. With a background in Human Resources, she was recently married and looking to start her career in Champaign-Urbana. During this time of soul-searching and job hunting, Lindsay began to paint and decorate their own home. Soon enough, friends started asking her to decorate their spaces. What started as a favor, turned into many jobs, which turned into a business.
Today, LBD specializes in hard-surface design primarily for kitchens, bathrooms, new builds and first floor remodels. Lindsay loves to create beautiful spaces that improve functionality, while inspiring beauty.
“I have found myself in a career that I did not set out to do, only to realize that it’s what I’m made to do.”
Meet Lindsay
As a child, I would craft with my grandmother, paint with my mom, and sew, bead, draw, and create on my own. By third grade, I was taking my creations to school and selling them to any child or teacher that thought they were worth something (or pretended even if they didn’t).
I pursued degrees outside of these passions. I received my undergraduate BA in Communications and my MA in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, both from University of Illinois. I worked in HR for a short time, only to stumble into the world of Interior Decorating and later Design.
I currently live in Mahomet, Illinois with my husband, three kids and Ziggy, our favorite dog. When I’m not designing, I love to craft, bake, travel with our family, and shop with my friends.
Meet Emily-
I have sought out creative outlets since I was a young girl. Whether baking, crafting, sewing, drawing, painting or graphic designing, I love it all. I graduated with a degree in Communications and a concentration in Art from Samford University and have a Masters in Education from Auburn University. I have worked in various education settings ranging from teaching preschool to university event planning.
Lindsay and I began our friendship as across the street neighbors. In 2021, we decided to expand our relationship to begin working together. Her acute eye for beautiful design and and my experience in administration and communications have created the Lindsay Boughton Design team.
I currently live in Birmingham, Alabama with my husband and three kids. We love to adventure, laugh, travel and spend time with family and friends.
