A born and bred Mackay local Lauren Leeson is the owner of House of Lavender.

Before purchasing House of Lavender, Lauren was a kindergarten teacher but as the years went by, she realised she wanted to pursue her dreams of running her own business. Despite missing the children she loved watching grow, Lauren felt a calling for change.

Having always loved homeware and gifts, Lauren wanted to open a store of her own.

With a little nudge from her husband, Lauren purchased House of Lavender and she has never looked back!

Although purchasing the store and changing career paths has been a highlight for Lauren, stepping out of her comfort zone was also very challenging. Despite this, she adores her store and lovingly nurtures its growth.

Lauren and her husband have two sons and Millie the staffy completes the family. Her weekends are filled with sports, she plays netball and is always spending her free time around sports, whether her own or her two boys.

When she’s not rushing around on the weekend, Lauren enjoys spending time with her friends and if they get the chance, her and her family love to go camping and enjoy lots of family time together.
