My studies at the University of Kentucky, as well as working for this wonderful company, have helped further my passion for interior design. I am so grateful to be working with such amazing individuals who truly care about their clients.

My hobbies are four wheeling, gardening, and chasing after my 6 grandchildren (mean little things). Oh and I like my wife too!
Lorie Averitt
Interior Sales
Prior to starting this job 4 years ago, my experience with flooring was simply walking on it! Seriously, my husband and I have remodeled 2 homes and installed everything ourselves. That has helped me understand all of the different types of flooring and how they are to be properly installed. I have a passion for learning and a love for design so this was a great fit! I enjoy working with clients in the showroom and helping them with their selections. My favorite being tile, the jewelry of the house!
I LOVE seeing live music, playing with my dog, working on house projects with my husband, gardening, and of course drinking pina coladas and getting caught in the rain!
