Meet Our Team

Lois Pade | Owner/Decorator

Interior Decorating is my passion. I love working with my clients to help them make their home and lives more beautiful. When I come to your home, I bring an extensive array of products covering the home furnishings market covering all styles from classic traditional to modern contemporary. I will show you samples of custom window treatments, bedding ensembles, floor covering, wall covering, accessories, lighting, upholstered furniture and case-goods so you don’t have to run around town!

My clients like my personalized service, customized designs, and the product that I bring together especially for them. They appreciate that their home will look special and not have a design or products that everyone has purchased from the same store in the area. I think you will find that I am both fun and easy to work with. I like to learn about how you live in your home and so I can help you make it a space that is comfortable and something you will be proud to show to friends and family. I will also discuss your budget so that I can bring together products and a design scheme that works best for you. No project is too big or too small. And we don’t have to do it all at once. I will work with you on a plan to bring it all together on your budget and on your time table.

I have been in the design business and the proud owner of my franchise for over 35 years. In that time I have had my design work published numerous times in decorating books and magazines. I have also had the honor of receiving the “Franchise Owner of the Year” award, several “Dream Room” awards and The Best of Houzz 2014 – 2019 awards.

Samantha Anderle | Decorator

It is important for me as a designer to help you design your home, but it is also important for you to be part of the process. I will work with you to learn your likes and dislikes and make your design fully customizable to your wants and needs. The most important part of any design is that it will be something you will love for years to come.

As a graduate of the Interior Architecture program at the University of Wisconsin Madison, I was able to learn about the different fields of design, and also designed several different types of projects ranging from restaurants to children therapy spaces just to name a few. I had the opportunity to intern with Decorating Den Interiors and it was there that I knew I wanted to get into residential design. Design is something that has always interested me, so I am grateful to be able to pursue this passion into a career.

When not designing, I enjoy spending time with friends, family, and my pets. I also like to try my hand at different DIY projects to expand upon my creativity. I take part in different outdoor activities when the weather is warm and like to travel when I can.
