For Lawrence, a project always starts with the floorplan. \u201cI thoroughly enjoy the process of getting to know a client\u2019s daily life, their routines and rituals,\u201d she says. \u201cThat understanding is everything, because it\u2019s what allows me to design spaces that don\u2019t just look beautiful, but genuinely function for the people within them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To capture her ideas, Lawrence uses a combination of analog and tech. As a self-described doodler, Lawrence almost always grabs a sketchpad, because she loves the tactile feel of pen on paper. She is careful to not make waste with endless scraps, and if multiple iterations are needed, she can easily switch to an iPad.<\/p>\n<p>While Lawrence is busy with career and family obligations, if she could find the time she would try her hand at woodworking or making furniture. \u201cThere\u2019s something really appealing to me about creating a piece you can actually use, that will sit in someone\u2019s home and last,\u201d she notes. \u201cAnd honestly, the technicalities of it suit my type-A mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today, Paige Lawrence joins us for <a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/column\/friday-five\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friday Five<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_599946\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/f5-paige-lawrence-on-wildflowers-vintage-furniture-a-fiddle-leaf-fig-plant-more\/f5-paige-lawrence-787-design-studio-picks-01-wildflowers\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-599946\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-599946\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-01-wildflowers-810x1080.jpg\" alt=\"A field filled with blooming bluebonnet flowers under bright sunlight, part of a stunning Friday 5 collection, with green grass and trees blurred in the background.\" width=\"810\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-01-wildflowers-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-01-wildflowers-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-01-wildflowers-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-01-wildflowers-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-01-wildflowers.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Paige Lawrence<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>1.

Fiddle Fig<\/h2>\n<p>I bought this fiddle-leaf fig plant on a whim about 13 years ago when I first moved to Austin. It was barely a foot tall and picked up at a big-box hardware store, with no real plan for what would come next. Since then, it\u2019s been through three moves, countless trims, and more neglect than it probably deserved. I\u2019ve chopped it back many times and propagated smaller versions along the way. Despite my questionable plant skills, it\u2019s continued to grow and thrive. It\u2019s one of the first things people notice when they walk into our home and has become a lasting part of its identity.

Dogs<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been a dog person and have never been without one. While dogs have brought me a lot of joy, they\u2019ve also brought heartache. In my early 20s, living in Los Angeles, they pushed me to explore parks and hiking trails I might not have found otherwise. Now, they give our family something to care for, learn from, and gather around. They\u2019ve become a quiet way to teach our children responsibility while still enjoying the companionship and love dogs bring. We recently adopted our newest dog in what felt like pure fate, and it\u2019s been one of the best decisions we\u2019ve made. He\u2019s playful, affectionate, patient with kids of all ages, and a perfect fit for our family.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_599949\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/f5-paige-lawrence-on-wildflowers-vintage-furniture-a-fiddle-leaf-fig-plant-more\/f5-paige-lawrence-787-design-studio-picks-04-vintage-furniture\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-599949\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-599949\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-04-vintage-furniture-810x1047.jpg\" alt=\"Four metal-framed chairs with purple velvet seats and backs featuring a geometric, multicolored pattern are arranged on a hardwood floor against a white wall\u2014perfect for a stylish Friday 5 gathering.\" width=\"810\" height=\"1047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-04-vintage-furniture-810x1047.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-04-vintage-furniture-800x1034.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-04-vintage-furniture-768x992.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-04-vintage-furniture-1189x1536.jpg 1189w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-picks-04-vintage-furniture.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Paige Lawrence<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>4.

Even though they happen every day, their beauty never feels routine. The variety of colors and settings never gets old. A sunrise feels like a new beginning, bringing energy and hope for the day ahead, while a sunset offers a sense of peace and quiet closure. The colors they produce are some of the most magical hues nature creates, and knowing the moment is brief makes it feel special. Like being part of a quiet, shared experience with millions of others.<\/p>\n<h2>Works by Paige Lawrence and 787 Design Studio:<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_599951\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/f5-paige-lawrence-on-wildflowers-vintage-furniture-a-fiddle-leaf-fig-plant-more\/f5-paige-lawrence-787-design-studio-work-01-stiarcase-photographer-tobin-davies\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-599951\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-599951\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-01-stiarcase-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-810x1213.jpg\" alt=\"A modern staircase with wooden steps and a light green geometric metal railing, part of a Friday 5\u2013inspired minimal interior featuring white walls and sleek wood paneling.\" width=\"810\" height=\"1213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-01-stiarcase-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-810x1213.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-01-stiarcase-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-800x1198.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-01-stiarcase-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-01-stiarcase-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-1026x1536.jpg 1026w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-01-stiarcase-Photographer-Tobin-Davies.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Tobin Davies<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Staircase <\/strong><br \/>\nWith its undulating steel railing and integrated details, this staircase reimagines structure as sculpture, where code, craft, and color converge.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_599952\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/f5-paige-lawrence-on-wildflowers-vintage-furniture-a-fiddle-leaf-fig-plant-more\/f5-paige-lawrence-787-design-studio-work-02-bath-photographer-tobin-davies\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-599952\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-599952\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-02-bath-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-810x1215.jpg\" alt=\"A modern bathroom with a black and white freestanding bathtub next to a floor-mounted faucet, large windows, and outdoor garden views\u2014perfect inspiration for your Friday 5 mood board.\" width=\"810\" height=\"1215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-02-bath-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-810x1215.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-02-bath-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-02-bath-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-02-bath-Photographer-Tobin-Davies-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/03\/F5-Paige-Lawrence-787-Design-Studio-work-02-bath-Photographer-Tobin-Davies.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Tobin Davies<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Bath<\/strong><br \/>\nPart bath, part courtyard retreat by 787 Design Studio and Annie Downing Interiors.
