Meet the Girl
Welcome to my blog, I am so happy you are here!
I’m Ursula Rodriguez, home decor and diy writer for Lana and Lino blog. Being born in Peru, I grew up surrounded by bright colors and textures, which inspired me to have a passion for home decor. I love creating spaces with a warm and natural organic textures that make a space feel inviting and a house feel like home. I want to offer my readers budget-friendly home decor inspiration, quick DIY projects and value-added renovations. As a wife and mother of four I want to share with my readers that I’m not about having more but about simple and joyful living. For as long as I can remember, I have been surrounded by bright colors, knitting needles and crochet hooks, wool and beautiful woven textiles. Something you’ll see shine through in this blog.
Being born in Peru means that traditional methods of working with beautiful organic alpaca and merino wool were a big influence in my life. A passion for home decor and creating handmade items are deeply rooted in my heart. That’s what I bring to you in this blog, home decor inspiration with tradition, organic materials, and heart.
Lana and Lino is Spanish for wool and linen. Inspired by the biblical Book of Proverbs from the Bible, the name represents two archetypes of traditional woven textiles. My goal is to help and inspire you to live your life in a practical, positive and healthy way. Not only to beautify your home and update your style but also to connect and create a space where we can empowered each other and bring light.
I pull inspiration from the ancient traditions of my homeland, Peru. You’ll love the vibrant style of my home decor and the unmatched beauty of my vibrant pieces, hand-crafted from organic Peruvian alpaca fibers, merino wool and organic cotton cord.
I’m a maker of beautiful things, I work with my hands to create beautiful wall pieces and home decor. When you shop at Lana and Lino, you’re getting heritage techniques that were passed down through the generations, so you know your pieces will stand the rest of time. When you buy one of my handmade pieces, you’ll be getting something special. Something authentic. You’ll feel how my brand stands for honesty kindness, and respect when you become my customer. You’ll feel these values during every step of your experience with Lana and Lino.
