**★★★★★ — Dena Neihaus, June 2024**

> Laura created a peaceful and beautiful living space for us with a small and challenging space.  We are very happy with the way our project turned out.  Laura was a pleasure to work with and had great ideas and worked with skilled people to implement her ideas.  I highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — Rupert, May 2024**

> Laura did such an incredible job transforming our basic bathroom into the most beautiful room of the house.
>
> After spending six years with a dull bathroom she turned it into a room that was so stunning I just love being in the room and soaking up the joy. She helped us throughout the entire process. Going over all the options that will help bring some color and life into the room. She created a beautiful architectural blueprint that was so detailed our contractor was so impressed by. Laura helped during the construction to keep the contractor on task with the design too.
>
> We did a full bathroom renovation. From replacing the tub and shower hardware to adding eco friendly tiles, to adding lighting fixtures, a mirror and sink. Laura helped teach me about alI the aspects of the process, I learned so much from her.

**★★★★★ — HU-527763879, May 2024**

> Laura is truly gifted. Her vision for our home surpassed anything I could have come up with. Our home is thoughtfully laid out with spaces for everything and super-smart storage. Laura is very practical and her choices and recommendations are rooted in how you/your family actually live, as well as what you aspire to. For example, she created an adults-only lounge space for us - something we never would have done for ourselves but now love. She is great with color and texture, and has an absolutely brilliant team at her fingertips. I could not recommend Laura more highly for any major (or minor!) project.

**★★★★★ — HU-926760060, Sept. 2022**

> Laura was essential in helping us figure out how best to use the space of our guest house renovation. She has excellent taste and gave us different layout ideas to maximize a small living room and open kitchen area. We ended up buying everything on our own, but it saved us a lot of time to have a game plan to execute and specifications to give to our contractor. We are absolutely thrilled with how the space turned out and couldn't have done it without Laura!

**★★★★★ — HU-75236259, July 2019**

> Laura is fantastic to work with! She diligently worked with us to take into account our preferences and budget, and did a wonderful job steering us in the direction of her vision of our house. Her taste and eye for details that make our house special are incredible, and she was able to highlight these details in a way that makes the final product unique. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her.

**★★★★★ — daphmoore, July 2019**

> Laura is absolutely fantastic to work with and we absolutely would recommend her to anyone looking to re-design their space. She works with her client diligently throughout the process, takes into account personal taste, preferences, and budget constraints, but has amazing eye and vision that only a professional can bring. She brought attention to the details of our house to highlight them in a way that makes the final product unique. We absolutely love the result and that is all thanks to Laura! You will not regret the decision to hire her.

**★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2018**

> Laura helped us put together a look for our apartment that we are incredibly happy with. She created different visions for us to choose from and listened to our input. She was willing to work within our budget and made the process of getting everything delivered very simple. The space is comfortable and stylish and we love having people over.
>
> Laura is a real professional and pleasant to work with, I would recommend her highly!

**★★★★★ — HU-725921, Dec. 2017**

> Laura did an excellent job! I hired her to help me finish my apartment, and she really helped me to tie all of the existing furniture I had together and to make a few small changes that opened up the space and added some visual interest. Everything felt very much like a discussion and nothing was high pressure. She really tried to work with my tastes and not impose her own. She also worked to get the best price possible which was greatly appreciated.

**★★★★★ — Vivian Bykerk, Nov. 2017**

> I am very happy with the design work Laura did for us. My husband and I recently  moved from a townhouse out of state into a 1350 sq foot 2 bedroom Manhattan apartment. We were downsizing to a space that needed to become "home". We asked Laura for the near impossible,  a design that would give us flexibility for day to day living but also one in which we could entertain friends, have a home office, and accommodate guests. We needed to maximize storage while preserving  aesthetics, feeling of zen and harmony, a space that could easily transition between week and weekend.  Laura really understood our needs and how to work with limited space. She was quickly able to envision and show us a floor plan, choose just the right sized furniture and color scheme that fit with the building.  I love coming "home". Laura is a very skilled and talented designer with a fantastic sense of color. She knows her products  and materials to deliver exactly what we as her clients needed. Laura adds the artistic touch, and all within budget. Laura really listens, is efficient in her visits with us and is delightful to work with. I would definitely hire her again.

**★★★★★ — Brian Streem, Nov. 2017**

> Working with Laura was a pleasure.  She has impeccable taste, willing to work within a budget, and a keen sense  on how to make any space workable.  She converted my drab office into a gorgeous and highly functional space.
>
> My staff and I all admire and appreciate what she created for us.
>
> I would highly recommend her for any project and would definitely work for her again.
>
> Brian
