She is amazing! I speak based on the history we have had working together through four different house projects. Some of her many skills include: a great eye for color, excellent knowledge about the availability and appropriateness of different types of products, and the ability to make solid suggestions for furniture needs (especially the size that would fit the room). Her notebook includes documentation of our decisions for future reference. She is a master at measuring and efficiently using power tools while climbing ladders safely and leaving our home with a "clean" space -- all being necessary when she helped place orders and installed 18 horizontal blinds in four of our rooms. On a "personal level", she has a rare combination of great communication skills, effective time management, willingness to work with our schedules, is ethical and fair in her billing, and is an adept conversationalist with a pleasing sense of humor -- all while taking a sincere and personal interest in her clients. She always made me feel that she knows my personality and taste shown throughout our house and its furnishings. While being cognizant of our budget, it is matched with the quality I like. She is patient with my indeciseveness and gives me grace for my inexperience. Her availability throughout the project includes "moral support" and stopping by for a few minutes here and there to help with my questions. Without any hesitance, i highly recommend Lori's services. I am sure you will be pleased to work with her and to see the final results of your project. In closing, I am totally aware that I have gifts -- and interior design is NOT one of them. Thankfully I know Lori DOES have that special gift, and I appreciate her talent and professionalism very much! **★★★★★ — clgevock, July 2023** > I have worked with Lori for 10 years. She is very professional and each project has been wonderful. Highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — Danielle Hill, July 2023** > We had the pleasure of working with Lori, an incredibly talented and detail-focused interior designer, who assisted us in transforming our kitchen and laundry room/mudroom into more open and user-friendly spaces. From start to finish, Lori proved to be an invaluable project manager, offering innovative ideas and providing us with exceptional guidance that exceeded our expectations. > > Right from our initial consultation, Lori's expertise and keen eye for design became evident. She took the time to listen attentively to our vision and ideas, and through her thoughtful suggestions, she expanded our perspective, introducing fresh concepts that perfectly aligned with our aesthetic preferences. Her ability to understand our needs and preferences allowed her to create designs that surpassed anything we could have imagined. > > One of Lori's most commendable qualities is her dedication to seeing the project through from conception to completion. She not only helped us create an exciting design plan but also helped us coordinate with contractors, ensuring that every aspect of the project was executed well. Her strong network of reliable professionals and her attention to detail made the entire process seamless and less stressful that I could have ever imagined. > > We’d highly recommend working with Lori. The next time we tackle another home improvement project, she's first on our list to call. **★★★★★ — Window Blinds, March 2023** > Lori is great, there was a slight problem with one blind and manufacturer replaced it. She replaced it promptly. **★★★★★ — HU-656143615, April 2022** > Lori is a wonderful professional who helps you create the living space you desire. She has wonderful ideas but is always working within the context for creating a space the client is comfortable with. She comes up with ideas I would have never thought of and are very pleased with. We recently had Lori help with putting a large vertical blind on out patio door, add a blind to a double window, add window treatments in a bedroom and help fill a large empty wall space in our living room. We are pleased with the items she helped us select along with the wonderful job she did of installing all of it. The large empty wall space involved a pocket door so nothing could be inserted into that part of the wall. Lori found a shelf that could be installed with a metal plate behind it so she could control where the screws where installed and then she helped select a picture to put on the shelf that we are very pleased with. Lori is great professional to work with. **★★★★★ — Julie Vose, April 2022** > Lori was a joy to work with from start to finish on our relatively small project! Using a professional for a design job in my home was a new experience for me and she made the whole process very smooth. She was right on target with suggestions and guidance and at the same time instinctually knew when to let us come to conclusions on our own. Communication with Lori was easy and prompt and we appreciated that so much! Most importantly, we are beyond thrilled with the end result! I highly recommend Lori for any size project if you are looking for a thorough, knowledgeable professional! **★★★★★ — Julie Vose, April 2022** > Lori was a joy to work with from start to finish on our relatively small project!

She came up with ideas and items that I would never have purchased on my own. I would highly recommend her. > Ginny Hughes > Fairfield IA. **★★★★★ — Mast Bedroom custom curtains, April 2021** > We have worked with Lori and number of times on custom window treatments for our home and office. Lori did a fantastic job creating custom blackout blinds for our master bedroom. She had great design suggestions and the final product for our curtains is both functional and beautiful. A huge thanks to Lori, and looking forward to our next project together! **★★★★★ — HU-929213690, Oct. 2018** > Lori can make the difficult job of sizing, ordering, and hanging cellular blinds a breeze! She’s honest, accurate and efficient. > We would highly recommend her! ## Selected projects - [Cool Contemporary Kitchen + Dining](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cool-contemporary-kitchen-dining-pj-vj~2778807) - Location: Fairfield, IA - Photos: 5 - Description: Full Kitchen re-design to include white cabinets, custom island and a cozy window seat for reading or gathering.
