With more than   13 years of experience  assisting both buyers and sellers and successfully navigating the St. Louis luxury market, Julie Lane has  discreetly worked with some of the most prominent families  in the area.  She is a proud supporter of all things St Louis and loves to frequent locally owned businesses.  She, her husband Rich and their 2 daughters have called Ladue home for the last 18 years and have curated quite a list of local favorites.   

The inspired home   

Artwork is paramount to a home’s personality. If you have not checked out St. Louis native Ted Collier’s work, you are truly missing out. We have had the opportunity to transform our home with some of his work. It has made all of the difference. His art is all over the world, yet he chooses to make our city his home and give back to the community, along with his talented wife Kate (owner of the yummy Katie’s Pizza and Osteria).  @tedcollier.art 

Best in the Midwest 

Truffles. Sourcing ingredients from local Midwest farmers, Truffles is the master at pairing these with their house-made cheeses and pasta. We love Truffles because of its neighborhood feel from Aleks to Duke, ready to greet us like old friends every time.  @trufflesstl  

Twigs and Moss 

Excuse me while I straighten my halo. Owner Resito Pecson created these unique halos and they are selling fast. We use them both inside and outside of our home. They illuminate any table or planter.  The glow is gorgeous and no one else has them. No one! Perfect for the holidays!  @twigsandmoss   

A Sno Balls chance in STL   

The Parkmoor reopened in July to hungry crowds who could not wait to savor the reimagined menu featuring the Kingburger, famous onion rings and of course my personal favorite the New Orleans style Sno Balls. They have now added the ‘adult’ Sno Ball and I highly recommend it. It is never too cold for one!  @theparkmoor  

No place like home 

Of course I love a good house design project. Reinventing and updating your home space is good for the soul. Carolyn Peterson is one of the best with a unique talent for the application of color, pattern, texture, scale, and a fluent understanding of the principles of design. Her aesthetic is second to none.  @cpetersondesign
