The House That Lars Built Blog The House That Lars Built exists to make life more artful. From delightful crafts to interior DIYs, they spark creativity and show just how easy it is to make with your hands. With a mission to inspire soulful, hands-on living, their blog is a vibrant resource for transforming the everyday into something extraordinary. As one of the top crafting and lifestyle blogs, their website needed to embody this ethos—delightful, easy to navigate, and robust enough to support their ever-growing audience. Services User Experience Web Design Outcome Website Design Role As part of the Shoppe Theory team, I collaborated with Do-Hee Kim to bring The House That Lars Built’s vibrant, whimsical aesthetic to life with a complete website redesign. As a leading crafting and lifestyle blog, the site needed to balance playful personality with functionality—making it easy to navigate while showcasing their bold colors, quirky design, and maximalist charm. We incorporated playful elements like scallops, decorative borders, and bold color blocking to create a vibrant yet functional user experience. The result is a site that, in the words of the Lars team, feels “like the digital version of the most organized crafting closet”—overflowing with personality, yet simple and efficient to explore.
