Kara Thompson
About me:
Kara Thompson is a Denver-based journalist with over five years of experience writing lifestyle content. She has written for a variety of publications, including townandcountrymag.com, elledecor.com, goodhousekeeping.com, and Parents, where she covered all things home, food, fashion, travel, and holidays. During her time on staff at Parents, Kara launched her own home decor and organization column named Save My Space. In 2022, she left her full-time job as an editor and started her own writing, editing, and social media firm, Kara Thompson and Co.
Tennis, New York City, bourbon cocktails, and her sister's German Shepherd are a few of her favorite things.
About my home/style:
Having lived in California, Oregon, New York, and Colorado, Kara has picked up on many different interior design trends and styles. She has also had to conform her style to different living situations—a ranch-style home, midtown high-rise condo, and a cozy carriage house. Her mom has always been obsessed with all things interiors, so Kara grew up with an appreciation for timeless design and a keen eye. She gravitates toward classic, neutral design and finds herself frequently bouncing decor ideas off of her mom and sister. Because Kara moved every year since graduating college, she also knows a thing or two about home organization (she might even be a little bit like Monica from Friends when it comes to cleanliness).
