With all the pieces in place to create
rooms from the ground up, Arakelian
decided to place her varied businesses
under the umbrella of White House
Designs for Life, but each retains its
own showroom and purpose. Her latest
venture is the opening of one of only
two Hunter Douglas showrooms in the
United States. She said their automation
capabilities grew her interest in the
company and she was sold by their
commitment to their products. In short,
Arakelian says, "They are the best in
the business."
Finding the best is something
Arakelian extends to her search for
employees. She takes much pride in her
staff who she calls highly skilled and
truly regards as family. She depends on
them as she calls herself the queen of
delegating and credits much of her
success to knowing the right person to
hand the job off to. Arakelian recently
handed off a new home design to her
trusted interior designer Tanya Woolley.
