Sink Deep Into Style with Laura Congrove of Whirly Plumbing
On this episode of Designing Dreams in the Haus, Tyler chats with Laura Congrove from Whirly Plumbing—one of the most down-to-earth (and stylish) plumbing pros in the biz!
From her early days dreaming of forensic files to becoming a go-to for luxury sinks, faucets, and all things bathroom bling, Laura’s journey is anything but ordinary.
