She is quite knowledgeable and keeps current of the best products as well as chic alternatives so working within a large or a modest budget is not a problem. You will always receive dedicated attention and great design fro Lori. **★★★★★ — loriscustomer, Oct. 2012** > Working with Lori to completely redecorate my home was not only productive but also a lot of fun. She has a very creative aesthetic, and constantly injected unexpected touches into the design of my home. While she listened to me and was an expert guide in selecting materials, she also encouraged me to stretch and grow. She did a wonderful job staying within my budget which I really appreciate. Thanks Lori! **★★★★★ — katemttp4, Oct. 2012** > Lori Smyth and her staff did an absolutely phenomenal job of decorating and designing my home. They were very patient and professional in their dealings with me and went above and beyond the call of duty in helping to decrease my sense of "overwhelm." I began the design process with thoughts of a complete remodel but had to eventually scale back. However, the designs and ideas presented to me in the complete remodel stage were beautiful, and I found it very difficult to walk away from doing it all. But, when I did realize that my dreams were a little larger than my wallet, Lori worked with me to scale back and still have a beautiful home. Lori's visions and creativity are excellent, to the point that I would be happy to walk away and let her have free rein of the decorating and design of a home. **★★★★★ — RENGA MICHAEL FLOORING, Oct. 2012** > Lori and her team have a great eye for "one of a kind" design and top notch quality. Her designs will set your space, weather it's commercial or residential, apart from the rest. ## Selected projects - [SantaTeresita](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santateresita-pj-vj~89694) - Location: Santa Barbara, CA - Photos: 13 - Description: Complete Interior and landscape remodel of an existing 70's home in the Santa Barbara foothills. - [Del Oro](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/del-oro-pj-vj~91306) - Location: Santa Barbara, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: A beach house transformed - [La Vereda](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/la-vereda-pj-vj~91311) - Location: Montecito, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: A classic 1020's Santa Barbara mediterranean home with a modern flair - [Pueblo St](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pueblo-st-pj-vj~20180) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [50th St, Austin TX](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/50th-st-austin-tx-pj-vj~2344484) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 31 - Description: http://smyth-homes [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/lori-smyth-design-pfvwus-pf~1828782865) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is the wall color?
