Making Seats at the Table: A Story of Hope and Love with Bree and Carlos

Many of our Love Intently couples’ stories begin in adolescence, and we love our high school sweetheart couples, but Bree and Carlos bring a whole new love story to the table--the farmhouse kitchen table, to be exact! Our latest guest couple moved in together after only two weeks of knowing each other. Yes, two weeks! Neither of them had much physical baggage, but both had plenty of emotional baggage that they slowly unpacked over the past ten years. Bree and Carlos take us on their journey from two shots at a sports bar, to having nothing but a few bags of clothes, all the way to building a successful family-run lifestyle brand and interior design business, where their priority is to empower others and bring families together through design and style.
