I’m so excited to share with you the second stop on our “Visiting Oakdale, CA” blog series because this little shop is our town newbie and making quite a splash with their refined style. Design Solutions, while a physical brick and mortar shop, actually came to fruition through an unorthodox avenue taken by owner Lupe Johnson. Spending 10 years in accounting, followed by a design assistant position at a local firm, Lupe was led to creating her own designs for private clients, architects, and housing developments by request, and not necessarily by a conscience decision. Loving the path she was organically led down was thrilling for the naturally creative mind, so she conscientiously decided to expand her new adventures by opening up a brick and mortar shop to assist her clients in shopping for their spaces. Immediately successful in her new endeavor, Lupe took an unexpected but joyous break when she learned she was due with baby number three. Ten years later, she’s back at it again, and with so much success in her first few months, they’ve already moved to a larger space to accommodate Design Solutions growing needs. Full of beautiful neutral palettes, luxurious furniture, and elegant seasonal accessories, Design Solutions is a one stop shop for filling your home with pieces you’ll love. And while you shop for style in this beautiful space, you’ll be pleased to know the staff will be around to provide you with design ideas, tips, and of course solutions. They even host workshops to teach design elements from how to set a table to creating a designer look from a bed in a bag. And if you don’t see Lupe, she’s probably designing a client space, or working in her office putting her old accounting knowledge to Design Solution use. So, if our little farmhouse gift shop is a little too rustic for your taste, this refined diamond is definitely the gem you’re looking for!
