I needed another window in my kicthen. The dilema was where to put it and make it cost effective. She made the right suggestion for us. I wasn't sure what to do or where to place the window where it would look best and her idea saved me from having to tear apart my whole kitchen. I will definately call Laurie when it's time to pick out countertops and back splash to complete the project. **★★★★★ — HU-21675690, Sept. 2022** > Laurie was a joy to work with. She listened to my ideas and working together I got the kitchen and bathroom that I absolutely love. I plan on working with her to update my living room.. > > She is GREAT!!!!!!!! **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Thank you Lorraine, I love how your kitchen and bath renovation project came out. Looking forward to helping you with the living room when your ready. **★★★★★ — Kathy, Sept. 2022** > My husband and I built a new house with an open floor plan and needed someone to help pull everything together so the inside flowed easily from one area to the next. Laurie did a great job of recommending lighting and furniture that would fit the space and achieve the look we wanted. This is a second home for us and we needed all new furniture. She worked with us to find the right furniture for the dining areas, great room and bedrooms, as well as the area rugs. There were supply challenges while building during the pandemic, but Laurie kept us informed of the status of each order and arranged the deliveries for times we were in town to accept them. We love our new home and are very pleased with how everything turned out! **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Hi Kathy, it was fun to work with you & Randall, to build your second home in Pauly's Island. I am so glad you are pleased with all the choices for furnishings selected. I hope you are your family can enjoy your beach house for many years to come. **★★★★★ — HU-745456821, July 2022** > My husband and I had never worked with an Interior Designer, but we knew a total remodel of our kitchen was too large a project for us to handle. I researched design firms in the Myrtle Beach/Conway area online. Laurie Dragunoff of Design Interiors had a rating of 5.0. Laurie came to my home, listened to my ideas, made suggestions, and advised me on costs. She and her preferred contractor worked with us to develop a plan. Laurie introduced and/or referred us to expert local businesses for appliances, countertops, cabinetry, lighting, flooring, and plumbing fixtures. She coordinated deliveries and scheduled specialty work. The contractor and the businesses Laurie directed us to were all excellent. We love our new kitchen! **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Hi Fran, It was a pleasure helping you and Jeffrey to have your dream kitchen after retirement. The process went smoothly as we navigated all your choices. So glad your happy with the outcome and redesign of your kitchen. **★★★★★ — Carol Sturtevant, June 2022** > Laurie was very helpful to me for picking furniture for my living room. At the time when we began I was in the process of adding a fireplace to my living room. I had decided to paint each side of the fireplace black, but wasn’t quite sure on the color. Laurie told me about someone who had used the color for a room and it came out great. I picked the color black because of what she said. It came out beautiful. We met a few times looking at different piece for the living room. She always had suggestion about the color, like it would be good to go with blue. I had that color in the kitchen. It was great to carry it into the living room. She made other suggestion I like would I like a new cushion for my bench in the entry way. Yes, I did and she picked out a beautiful fabric. She had the cushion made and it also was great. She was very knowledgeable about how things go together and would recommend her for any design work. Thank you so much. **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Hi Carol, thank you for such nice comments about your project. I loved making this main living room come together in your mid century vibe adding pops of color to coordinate with your kitchen. **★★★★★ — HU-505664656, Nov. 2021** > Working with Laurie is great. She has design almost every room in my home. (still working on project). Occasionally I have problems with decisions. With that in mind, Laurie is kind enough to only give me 3 choices( all of which are good) and she and I discuss options and we make a decision. > Laurie is very dependable, if a problem with contractor occurs, always getting problems resolved > Enjoy working with her **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Hi Heather & Harry, it has been a pleasure helping you in your new home. I had a very creative and enjoyable time finding the correct furnishings for your lifestyle and budget. I hope to work on future projects. **★★★★★ — HU-510562132, Nov. 2021** > Laurie at Decorative Interiors was truly incredible to work with. We completely gutted and remodeled our kitchen and I was nervous about the project, to say the least. I was unsure about the new shape, had trouble visualizing the new kitchen, and was jittery about tackling a project of this enormity. Laure calmed my fears and walked me through the process! We found an incredible contractor, figured out a new arrangement for the kitchen, and picked out items that were both beautiful and functional. I couldn't have done it without Laurie. She helped with the big things like the shape of the kitchen, cabinets, and so on, and she paid attention to the details like knobs and grout. When there were delays, Laurie took care of it. Truly a professional. I couldn't be happier with her services. If you're looking for someone for a project either small or large, Laurie is your gal! **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Thank you Shelly for this wonderful review. I enjoyed working with you and meeting your sweet boys renovating your 1960's kitchen. The reveal and impact was large opening up the wall from the family room to the kitchen and making your space open, bright and functional. I hope you enjoying this kitchen for many more years to come. **★★★★ — HU-944580520, Nov. 2021** > When we purchased our home we didn't know it was going to be a remodel. Having never used a professional interior decorator before, we hired Laurie to help us select colors for flooring, paint, and cabinets. Since the choices out there for these things is overwhelming, we were very grateful for her help! She also directed us to a local contractor and other vendors that she knows and trusts that helped us with selecting countertops, sink hardware, blinds, etc. We especially appreciated her meeting us at important appointments to help us select our cabinets, countertops, and furniture. **★★★★★ — HU-779485205, Nov. 2021** > We used Laurie for a full home interior design project and it has been nothing short of amazing. From the beginning, Laurie was very attentive to what we were looking for and has really made our house look absolutely perfect! We are continuing to use her for our investment property and will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who takes great pride in their work! **★★★★★ — Donna Schmidt, Aug. 2021** > We have worked with Laurie to assist with color scheme and furniture selection for a house refresh project. After 20 years, our colors, room design and some furniture needed updating. We found Laurie through Houzz (a little nervous about that!) but we have been very happy and satisfied with our experience. Laurie is easy to work with, listens to our concerns and ideas, is patient as we debate ideas, and presents suggestions that best fit the style of our home and our lifestyle. She introduced us to some new and terrific furniture lines that we have been very happy with. We have been very happy with laurie’s skill and expertise and would recommend her to anyone looking for design assistance. **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Donna thank you for such a kind review of my services. It has been a pleasure working with you and Jim to help you improve & update your beautiful home. Looking forward to the design of the next room. **★★★★★ — HU-684917224, Nov. 2020** > Laurie is very organized and always responded in a timely manner. We were happy with the pieces we ordered , it was nice to see our inspiration come alive with splashes of color . Laurie is a true professional. **★★★★★ — Danielle Nordstrom, Sept. 2020** > Laurie helped us design a room by room floor plan (furniture placement, sizing, etc) for our new MB home. She was a pleasure to work with, very responsive, a good listener and great at providing additional ideas and recommendations. We are very pleased with the services provided. **Comment from Decorative Interiors:** > Thank you Danielle for working with me remotely and sharing all you ideas and Houzz boards with me. I had creative fun with each room you provided. Hoping to help you in more depth with finishes and furnishings when you start your build. ## Selected projects - [Pauly's Plantation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pauly-s-plantation-pj-vj~7174338) - Location: Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 17 - Description: The living room redesign began when my clients where changing how they used the room.
