Claire Rose Staszak is the owner, designer, and yoga instructor behind Centered By Design.
Centered by Design is delighted to be one of 33 interior designers participating in the 2023 Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens! Put on by the Lake Forest Chapter of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago, the biennial event has become known as one of the most well-regarded showhouses in the country.
Every year, more than 100,000 people flock to the tiny town of Round Top, Texas (population less than 100!) for the Original Round Top Antiques Fair. With shows held in spring and fall, the event has miles and miles of markets to shop. As dreamy as that sounds for designers or homeowners shopping to fill […]
