Suzanne S. Felber, Lifestylist®

Why a Lifestylist®?

Long before "lifestyle" was a trending hashtag, it was a standard of living. Suzanne Felber trademarked the term Lifestylist® in 2002 to define a unique approach to living well—one that doesn't just look at a room, but looks at how you experience it.

A Lifestylist® is part designer, part curator, and part storyteller. While a typical designer might focus on the furniture, a Lifestylist® focuses on the three ingredients of a life well-lived: Design, Dine, and Wine.

01. Design: The Foundation

Leveraging decades of experience with global icons like Hermès and The International Builders Show, Suzanne creates spaces that are storied, not just styled. She specializes in the "high-low" mix—blending vintage treasures and thrift-shop finds with professional design principles. Her goal is to take the "elite" look and make it achievable, affordable, and dreamable for everyone.

02. Dine: The Heart

Great design deserves a seat at the table. From winning boxes of ribbons at the State Fair of Texas to leadership in Les Dames d’Escoffier, Suzanne believes the kitchen is the heart of the home. Through her "Lazy Cook" and "To The Core" concepts, she proves that hosting a beautiful meal should be as accessible and stress-free as the design of the room itself.

03. Wine: The Spirit

For Suzanne, "Wine" represents the art of the pour and the spirit of hospitality. Whether it’s a world-class vintage or a beautifully served non-alcoholic pairing, it’s about the social connection that happens when we gather. With an insider’s knowledge from TEXSOM and her wine partners, she brings a refined eye to the details that make a guest feel truly welcome.

Wine.Dine.And Great Design.

  • Wine

    Felber is an ambassador for the Boisset Collection of wines. She has volunteered for over eight years at the TEXSOM International Wine Competitions and the TEXSOM conference working directly with Master Sommeliers and winemakers from around the world. She is studying to take the tests for the WSET and GuildSomm certifications, and is certified by TABC to pour and serve alcoholic beverages at public events in Texas.

  • Dine

    Les Dames d’Escoffier is the preeminent global professional association for women leaders in the food, beverage and hospitality industries., and is composed of 44 chapters in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and Italy, totaling over 2,600 women leaders in the fields of food, beverage and hospitality. I was a first vice president of the Dallas Chapter, and have represented our chapter at international conferences as well as designing their website and managing their social media.

    Being at home in the kitchen is an essential part of what I do. I started the “Lazy Cook” and “To The Core” cooking concepts and have developed recipes that fit this cooking style. After winning boxes full of ribbons at the State Fair of Texas cooking competitions, I was asked to become a judge instead and now judge these competitions before and after the fair. My recipes have been included in various State Fair of Texas cookbooks.

  • Design

    Growing up in the real estate and building community has created a lifetime of relationships. For over 20 years I was actively involved in the National Association of Homebuilders and was a frequent speaker at The International Builders Show. In 2011 I Lifestyled the 2011 New American Home in Orlando, Florida

    Editorial work has included covers and features in national publications including Home Magazine, Modern Homes, MH Insider, and Home Depot publications.

    Did the styling and specifications for The Healthy Home which was a partnership between Home Magazine, Crate and Barrel and The Home Depot at the 1998 International Builders Show

    I was on the Design Councils for Thermador, SKS Appliances, and The Beko Healthy Kitchen Council, and did product testing for Thermador Appliances. I also gave trend reports and forecasting to the Thermador International leadership.
