About – Glam eDesign

Welcome to Arie + Co., a glam eDesign company and decorating blog that gives you high end interior design for less. I’m Kristen–wife, mama, designer, bargain hunter, and lover of all things creative.

Kristen of Arie + Co.; Glam eDesign; Designer Inspired Decor for Less; Budget Decorating

From an early age, I gravitated toward creative pursuits… Writing my first fictional story at age four, crafting with my mom throughout childhood, a stint with jewelry making early in our marriage, and always envisioning what I wanted my personal space to look like. My mom shared my passion for interior design and while she may not have shared my eclectic glam aesthetic (pink-washed hardwood floors and porcelain masks adorning the walls in my childhood bedroom; a black comforter and bright colored throw pillows in my college dorm room), countless hours spent together browsing furniture stores, paging through design magazines, and watching HGTV before it was cool nurtured my growing love of interiors.

As an interior stylist and e-designer, I help others create the glam designer look they crave for less. I don’t believe you have to be a millionaire to live in a beautiful home, and I’m trying to prove that as I decorate my home, and client homes, on a budget. My hope is that I can help you do the same, whether by offering up creative DIY ideas, sharing my Splurge/Steal finds, or working together via eDesign!
