**★★★★★ — HU-193674757, July 2022**

> Laura was instrumental in helping remodel my clients home so we could list it for sale.  She chose beautiful fixtures, selected materials/paint that enhanced the look of the home, always keeping the budget in mind.   We finished on time and at budget.  It looks so great we are listing at price greater than originally planned!  Cheers!  Thanks again Laura for all your help! I truly could not have done it with out you.

**★★★★★ — Anat Lansky, Sept. 2017**

> I have been using Laura Hursthouse to help me design my home for years and she is exceptional! I cant say enough amazing things about her and am so lucky to have found her!!

**★★★★★ — murphy1999, June 2017**

> I would highly recommend Laura's services. She helped us design our kitchen, including cabinet layout and color, backsplash, counters, lighting, and paint color. She picked up on our style quickly and helped us to narrow down the large array of choices. Her eye for details and ability to see the big picture were invaluable. I would not hesitate to use Laura's design services for future projects.

**★★★★★ — caheraty, May 2016**

> Laura was wonderful to work with on helping me finalize details for my new kitchen.  She has creative ideas and suggestions in order to enhance the beauty of a room that compliment my style ideas as well.  She was very thorough with details, measurements, colors and design.  Investing money in our new kitchen was so much less stressful with the trust and respect of a quality designer, like Laura.  I love my new kitchen and wouldn't change a thing thanks to the input and feedback given by Laura. I would highly recommend Hursthouse Design.

**★★★★★ — jayles, Oct. 2015**

> I hired Laura in March to update my house. She is  professional and is always eager to help even with the smallest of details. Laura has done an exceptional job incorporating my existing pieces with newer items. It has been a pleasure to work with her. She is prompt returning phone calls, emails and texts.  I know she will continue to have a bright future as an interior designer.

**★★★★★ — lm1979, Sept. 2015**

> I hired Laura based on the glowing recommendation of my friend who is also an interior designer.  I needed someone to help guide me through every aspect of a home remodel, as the house we purchased needed an entire cosmetic overhaul.  Laura was the best thing that happened to us since embarking on this project!  We literally would have been lost without her.  She held our hands through the entire process, from the design phases, throughout construction, and now into the process of furnishing the home.  Laura designed a gorgeous and highly functional kitchen, a stunning and luxurious master bath, a beautiful powder room, and a jaw-dropping two-story fireplace.  In addition, she guided us through choosing carpet, paint colors, wood flooring, countertops, tile, appliances, cabinetry, hardware, lighting fixtures, and plumbing fixtures.  Laura has an excellent eye.  She understood my taste and vision, and helped me locate and choose finishes that would translate into my dream home. I literally adore every selection that she made.  Laura is very detail oriented and organized.  She measures and re-measures.  She thinks of everything.  She is very picky, and works tirelessly to achieve perfection in both design and functionality.  We have three young children and she kept that in mind to help us make choices that not only would look great, but would also withstand some abuse.   She worked well with my contractor.  She would make sure he had the plans that he needed to execute and she supervised the work as it was taking place.   She is very knowledgeable about the construction process and was our advocate at every step of the way.   She was extremely responsive, patient, and would always be readily reachable and available whenever I needed her.  Finally, she is an absolute pleasure to be with.   I will continue to use her for other projects in the future, and recommend her highly and without reservation!!

**★★★★★ — VIP Stone & Tile, June 2015**

> Laura was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. We are really excited to start working with her more often. Thanks, Laura.

**★★★★★ — jzsweetheart, Oct. 2014**

> I had an excellent experience working with Laura.  She remodeled my bathroom, redecorated my living room and provided plans for wordwork elsewhere in my home.  She worked to understand my tastes and then designed beautiful spaces for my home with great attention to detail, keeping functionality for young kids in mind as well.  Laura was so kind and patient and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right and that I was completely happy with everything.  I will definitely hire Laura in the future.
